My Eyes! - A place do discuss partial and complete blindness due to the update.

Right, just wanting to try a few things out with this post hence the hashtags and related video. Tp the topic at hand then; I have my reservations with the changes, I fear a fair many of us do. However with regard to the forum topic creation itself, i feel a lot could be done for the visual impact. Quite simply, the white background feels like an add on; sticks out like a sore thumb and isn't visually appealing. A darker option would go a long way to redressing this.

  • It's been a few days now, since it happened. It was like any other day, boring. I had opened my laptop, looking to kill some time. B.net, my usual destination for internet browsing. I would always have Bungie.net open in a tab on my browser, no matter what I happened to be doing online. It had become the hub of my online experience, my home base in a way. As I typed in that url, I never knew what was in store. I never knew my life was about to change forever. I hit enter. I wasn't quite sure what happened after that, the page loaded for half a second, then the world disappeared to me. In one instant, the screen was gone, everything was gone. I blinked, and blinked again, but the image before me remained the same. Nothing. Not even blackness, nor whiteness. The only way I can describe it is like how you can't see what is directly behind your head, it isn't black, it isn't white, there's just nothing there. I happened to be sitting in a lounge area at university, and I slowly tried to stand up. I froze when I got to my feet, trying to hold my hands out in front of me. But I couldn't see them. I couldn't see my own hands. Someone came over to help me when I tripped over a chair next to me, stubbornly trying to navigate. In denial. The person screamed. I was rushed to the hospital. So now, here I am, typing away on a braille keyboard. Apparently my eyes were literally burned out of their sockets upon opening Bungie.net. The doctors told me not even a welder's mask could have saved them from being boiled from my skull. You did this to me net team. You did this. Please, for the children, change it back to black, to spare them the agony. They have their whole lives ahead of them and a whole world to see. Only you can prevent B.net Blindness. The power is yours.

  • I do prefer the darker background of the pre-bungie.next site. It was easy on the eyes.

  • What if we had the option to choose between a variety of different background colours? I think that would be a better solution than to just darken the background. #YOLO #SWAG

  • I would like to see them bring back the light on dark color scheme.

  • Saw the #mythic4life tag. Spread the #word on the #forum so #peopleknow. And yes, I overused that on purpose.

    • Honestly, my eyes are starting to hurt. Maybe I'm tired, but it's only 6PM and after 2 hours of pouring over new B.net my eyes seriously are beginning to hurt. I don't know if it is the new layout or what, but it definitely isn't as "nice on the eyes" as the old one.

    • I absolutely hate this version of the site, to the point where I almost don't even want to post anymore. I have nothing against change, and was here through all of the major site overhauls in the last 7 years, but this is just too much. I feel like right now the site is everything Achronos said he never wanted Bungie.net to be. This just isn't Bungie.net anymore.

      • I agree, a light gray would fit better.

      • I agree; the aesthetic is very unappealing. Why can't we just have an option for the old B.net?
