res cap

[tahkis]

...i wanna play and use my computer to its full capacity not this 1024 crap

It's nice you've been playing with 1024 while limit is 1280.

[Miku19]

I'm up for it.

[Mr. Peanuts]

Its fine as it is.

Most laptops are only 1280x1080 anyways, so that's a decent chunk of the demographic that have restricted res, given there's alot more ppl out there with low res monitors too.

[Arikel]

Hum i thin kthere should be a resolution cap otherwise players with crappy monitors "like me " who can only play 1152 x 854 x 8 would be at an even greater disadvantage i mean its awfulll when you have to play against someone that can play and wisely use 1240 x 1024 x 8 i always end up killed by a shot that i only see it half the way <_< . That's why i think there should e a resolution cap to allow equal opurtunities to others.

[Sleepy Weasel]

It does make switching between SVS and TW annoying though.

[iNgeNfyRe]

i think its fine. i play worse at any higher res. partly because im used to this res. its the perfect size for my monitor anyways. :grin:

[K2Grey]

I have 17inch and 1280x seems to be the limit for me so sure keep the res cap

the res cap is perfect at 1280. demonic your idea's are terrible and the +1 death on spec is a horrible idea, and this is coming from someone who hates laggots and has 50ms 0.1 0.1 and will never lagout.

I like the stricter lag limits in place, but 3 lagouts was a perfect measure. After 3, you can no longer play and are required to get subbed. Giving the other team a free kill they didn't earn because someone lags is retarded. On top of that you have a 1 minute waiting time to return, which is like a 5v4 powerplay.

I hope your ISP fucks up so you can experience the joy others are currently having playing with 7 lives instead of 10 in league.

I still can't believe they implemented that dumb idea... oh wait, P_L is running leagues, I guess I can.

True. But problem is solved with 2 nicks with different resolution settings.

Did anyone even read what I wrote or do we have to start poking Priitk with a stick until he comes on here and repeats it for us?

Yes I remember that excuse for a res cap, but I never did hear a concrete reason why gameplay would be corrupted at 1600 res.

[ogron]

since alot of (unfortunate) souls are still limited to 1024, which gives them a disadvantage vs. people on 1280 and limits their tactical options. Personally I now play on an 18inch LCD sony at 1280 and I wouldn't play this game at 1024 (well, except basing). Having people stuck with 1024 vs. 1600 is just too big of a discreptancy, especially in LD and DD.

I think that upping the res cap in certain arena's would be interesting, like let's say events, TWLB, TWBD, 1 pure pub and 1 regular pub, and a few other things, but for elim, belim, twld/jd/dd/jd, wbduel, etc... no way, its just a horrible idea.

I thought that the res limit in TW used to be 1024 like 4-5 years back (maybe im wrong) and they upped it to 1280, which was an excellent move, because in a 1-shot kill game there wasn't enough room between the edge of the screen and your ship in 5v5's or elim to really dodge multiple bullets or anticipate rushing enemies (especially when your opponent(s) lag), too many offscreen strays, and just overall too hectic.

At 1280 you have enough room to handle radar shots, incoming lagrushers, multiple enemies/bullets, etc.. It's a little distant, but it's perfect for Trench Wars.

I'm getting a bigger monitor soon capable of 1600, so I'd love the advantage, but I really think that 1280 is perfect, and currently it has a nice side effect of balancing fairness to those with 1024. If 1600 made for a better game, I'd support it. Insofar, I see no arguments for it.

[ogron]

Against it, I'd say that it would further reduce the skill used in matches because you can stay at a distance where bullets/bombs are simply too slow to hit you, you have too much time to react and avoid it, checking your radar becomes far less important, and games will be more drawn out and boring because you have to close in on alot more ground to get into a killzone of someone using 1600 res.

Then on top of that you have people still maxed out at 1024 and 1280 playing people at 1600 who no longer want to stay on your screen and backpeddle and take 5 or 6 shots at you before you can even reach them for a shot. Playing 1024 sucks vs. 1280, imagine how much worse it will be when it's 1600.

The game is perfect at 1280.

Firstly, the +1 lag death rule is gay.
Secondly, Remove the resolution restriction, although, I have no idea why Demonic would care about this rule. She/He is an awful dueler
You can guarantee she only gets on squads because of her modship, which she did terrible things for. Isnt that right kInKy_gIrL <ZH>

demonic is a he, he used fake pictures on TW Galleries and pretended to be a girl, because he's probably a homosexual or something.

And Demonic is actually an awesome player... although his ideas for TW fall short (imo).

BTW Demonic, Phantom* reset, let me know if you want the name back.
