The movement & attack ranges visual changes you propose would only apply to PC users, correct? Mobile currently doesn't show the same way as PC what it is you wish to change (at least I don't recall there bring 2 shades differentiating attack vs movement).

Good question. For mobile it should show the same way except you have to push and hold on a unit for the attack/movement range to show up.
DeletedUser33179
I just double checked mobile's set up - is visually different than the 2 grey shades you describe for PC. When I click & hold on a unit of my opponent it shows 1 shade of grey encompassing its movement range & any possible attack range which lies outside of its movement range is denoted by battlefield hexes outlined in red.
As for my troops, for the unit who's currently in line to move, there's a sword above any enemy unit that's in range to attack from my unit's position if I'm not going to move him. Movement range is a regular brightness of the battlefield - Areas outside of its movement range are faintly dimmer than the rest of the battlefield.

Your right, thanks for clarifying. The visuals are a little different and a bit better on mobile. However, your playing on a tiny screen.

I hope this one gets through.

I actually think that mobile is much harder to see movement/attack ranges than PC. I don't have an issue with the way the PC battle map is done now, but I wouldn't have a problem if this were implemented. Especially if there were the option to opt out of it and stick with the current system.

+1 as long as the colors are relatively muted and not loud and garish

+1 it's not about being visually impaired, it's about ease of access. one can eventually get used to the recurring graphics and know which hex corresponds to the defense bonus and which one is an overspilled image, but making graphics limited to hex would definitely make it a million times less stressful on eyes.
Another alternate solution would be to show what would happen upon moving to a tile and then tap again to confirm the move, that would provide a good solution to the problem mentioned by the OP and would also ease out the eye strain discussed in above posts.

My major problem with combat on mobile is that you can't see which unit on the bar corresponds with which unit on the field.
DeletedUser38090
Yeah, it really sucks when you realize you hit the wrong unit in the troop order, and now they get one extra attack.

i like this idea. on my ipad I can tell if i'm in range of my target because it shows the possible damage below the different enemies, but on my computer it's not as easy to tell. I support anything that makes fighting decisions easier to make

I am color blind. Fortnite has a color setting for color blind players. I have a red-green color blindness so anything you can do to help with this is appreciated. i'm new, but have often been caught by an enemy going to the top or bottom of the screen and blending in with the bushes.

how about before implementing any changes they fix the lag problem during recalc

Agreed! INNO should nopt fix anything else, add any new features, restart GE next week, go to the bathroom or sleep until the Recalc lag is fixed.
Dear INNO;
pkz shut down FoE until recal lag is ffixed.
