I am a long term player, playing for over 6 years at this point. I love Sea of Thieves, no other game is like it. My problem is that I am visually impaired. I make due in this game as much as I can, but there is one thing that haunts me to this day: the birds above the loot in the water.
As a visually impaired player, I have difficulty spotting the birds that appear above floating loot. These birds are intended to help players locate loot in the water, but they often blend into the sky or become difficult to distinguish at a distance, making them ineffective for players with reduced vision. I would like to suggest adding an accessibility option that increases the visibility of loot birds.
A high-contrast outline around the birds or an optional glow or highlight effect would work; or maybe increase the size or improve the visibility at longer distances. This would not change the mechanics of the game or provide an unfair advantage—it would simply make an existing visual indicator more accessible to players with visual impairments.
Thank you for considering this accessibility improvement. I believe it would make Sea of Thieves more enjoyable and inclusive for many players who struggle with visual clarity.
