I'm Not Colourblind so why Can't I See?

I like them leave them how they are now it seasy to do if it takes you more then a quick sec to recognize the number of dots on an object you need to go back to first grade i know just helped my daughter through flash recognizing of dots on an object such as domino or dice. The colors are not bad just different sorry it takes those who use solvers longer to enter it into a program to solve it for you. Reaver is fine as is and still easily run at lvl with appropriate gear for those who dont know the lvl of the quest is 14.

I don't use a solver which is why it's harder and longer. I have to squint at my solutions on the wall to try figure out which colours are where and because some look similar it leads to false choices.


Nothing to do with the quote above....just in general;
The funny part about all of this is I ran a few Reaver's the other day and it happened to have some of those players who pm'd me to say the puzzle is fine as it is now, but oddly enough these are the same people asking who's solving or sit back and pike while someone else does it. So it would most likely be a solid reflection if people who actually do the puzzle made comment. Not that that will happen but it sort of pinpoints for me who deserves an answer and who doesn't. The puzzle is obviously fine for those players who don't solve it.

There should be an option for switching between old and new colours I think. I did reaver last night and I failed the puzzle because I just couldn't make out the difference between yellow and orange (no solvers)...

purple looks like red looks like orange looks like yellow. While solving, I had to cycle through the skulls two or three times to figure out if I had the right color.

Also, does it even show the pips on the "solution" wall. If not, I'm not exactly sure how the pips help...

I dont like the change much either but meh not that big of a deal instad of solving by color i solve by #'s now .... same puzzle who cares.


instad of going blue, blue, green, green iits now . , . , : ,: lol

If your wiping cuz of this little change then you realy didnt know how the puzzle worked in the first place and rely on solver to much


Learn the puzzle..... then it becomes alot easier

Your not wiping cuz u cant see the colors your wiping cuz u dont know the puzzle well enuf to adjust to the dots.


anyone that can solve the puzzle with out a solver will not have a problem solveing the puzzle the way it is now

I was just about to post about this problem. My first Reaver run post update 8 wiped because the solver couldn't differentiate the colors and I almost wiped a party just now for the same reason. Red looks just like purple and yellow just like orange on my screen and apparently other people's too. The previous colors weren't ever an issue in any party I've been in(Can't see colors? Let someone else do the puzzle.) but now everyone has to count dots while the clock's ticking on the entire world.

I lead my first reavers fate earlier and wiped because I couldn't see the colours, then everyone was decent enough to have another go but I did the same thing all over again, I felt horrible (I had a dedicated separate computer with solver up rather than doing both on my computer on the second go).

I haven't played mastermind since I was a little kid and suddenly the solver doesn't work because I've put a colour wrong and I'm trying to look at the puzzle and figure out if black means correct or white means correct - when I used to play as a kid white was correct but here it's black - then, death.

I've been sitting on the puzzle trainer practicing since then and always manage it in <10 guesses but that doesn't really seem good enough. I think I'll have to write up a code to keep next to my computer 1: blue, 2: green etc. and practice using the solver.

I had my brightness/contrast/grammar at max for this and it didn't help at all, ive considered mirroring the game to my 46" HD LCD tv and maybe that will make it easier to see, I'm not sure.

As a point of interest, does anyone know exactly how long you have to solve the puzzle?
