A humble request from a visually disabled gamer.

Hello there!

I was hoping to get the attention of a few people at GGG in regards to the really, really big issue for many like myself, and I imagine even many unlike myself, concerning the absurdly small text size in the game. Firstly, the quest tracker below the mini map is completely unreadable to me, the only reason I can even sort of make it out is with the console zoom on playstation 5, but it really is just way too small. Secondly, item and skill info, while certainly better than the quest tracker, is also much too small and requires the same zoom usage, as well as the skill tree, which if already overwhelming enough without having to zoom in on it even further and take twice as long to navigate due to the small text.

I had tried to play PoE 1 several times prior to this on both PlayStation 4 and 5,this was one of the reasons I simply could not, especially in the Settlers of Kalgur league, which while I'm on that, that entire thing was a horrible experience in itself because of an insane amount of text that is just completely illegible.

I really do appreciate the work that you wt the dev team have done with both games, and i truly hope that I will have the opportunity to fully experience poe 2,so please work on a better user interface that allows everyone to be able to read all of it, yes the hud scale exists, but bigger than miniscule is still small, and it's so hard to find a developer that seems to care about people like myself even to this day when accessibility is becoming a more pressing concern in the industry.

It's only day 2, I hope you see this and think on it, find a way to improve the interface for everyone, you would have my gratitude and future support as an arpg fan.

Thank you for your time.

Edit: Another area I would like to take note of are the icons beneath the enemy nameplate and hp bar, such as armor and debuffs, these could stand to have a size increase as well, especially the armor indicator and such icons.

Very thoughtful post, and I support this 100%. On a related note, I thought I had decent enough vision, but neither I nor my wife could read all on-screen text on our 65" TV sitting about 10 feet away.

Hoping a text-scaling option will be added to complement the UI scaling currently in game.

Thank you very much, I'm glad, though perhaps that is unfortunate in reality, that I'm not the only one struggling here, that gives me hope that GGG will see this and maybe others like it, something good could come of it! Thank you for your input, I intend to update this thread further with other visual related issues I come across.

Adding another note here, item labels on the ground could do with a general side and perhaps color distinction increase, scrolls of wisdom for example blend very well into the terrain, as does gold.
