Should we raise the max resolution?

[Burzum]

Hell, give them the option for WS, but make them start with 7 lives in twd. That should discipline them soon enough.

[Brighter]

Idc

Either way is fine with me. I window on my 19'' and surf the web on my 22''. It'd be fun to play TW in 1680x1050x32, just speccing people is fun. :P

But surely its been unfair for the last 5 years for people who couldnt get 1280x1024 i dont see why allowing widescreen would be anydifferent.

yeah ! down with the resolution !

in all seriousness i convinced my gf to buy 19" widescreen monitor, so i guess i change my vote to IT'S STILL NOT FAIR EVEN THOUGH I CAN NOW BE ONE OF THE ONES WHO BENFITS

edit: as long as i can play distension in 1440x900 i'll be sitting the fence and smiling

[Doc Flabby]

and hopefully it will stay that way

the only viable option to change resolutions will be when standard shit monitors you get from any 5 year old computer can handle larger resolutions than 1280x1024

thats at least another 5 years from now, considering almost all standard monitors can only go up to 1280x1024

And many times over the argument of this has been rebuked.

If you are a good player and realize that although it's OVERALL less pixels on wide-screen the advantage you gain in side to side fighting IF you are SMART enough to use this to your advantage it does create an unfair situation, even if it's less than 5% that's an impact in a game such as a TWLJBD Final.

I have a wide-screen as well, try to be unselfish and realize what I'm saying.

I've posted multiple times and even gone in-depth to the point where people stop reading as to why wide-screen is an advantage in a competitive environment if you care to read more; http://forums.trenchwars.org/showthr...t=33137&page=2 http://forums.trenchwars.org/showthread.php?t=33355 http://forums.trenchwars.org/showthread.php?t=33341

Give up already, it's not changing unless one of the advocates gets in TW Office. Thankfully the people in charge are smart enough to realize at this time it would be unhealthy.

I don't know, it may just be me, but don't the poll results speak on their own?

no it dosnt becouse the question is "Should we raise the max resolution?"

people vote that we should keep the resolution as it is, but im sure most of them agree we can add widescreen support, currently there are no allowed default resolutions thata are 16:10 scale (which is standard for many, if not most widescreen monitors)

as people previously said, 1440x900 is smaller in total area than 1240x1024

slightly better horisontal view for widescreen and slightly better vertical in normal!

Personally, I don't play on a widescreen. but I think the 1400x900 should be implemented. The image is distorted on a widescreen without that, and the pixels are actually less than current max resolution. So 1400x900 shouldn't be unreasonable. It's basically our max resolution for widescreen users so they don't get crappy pictures on their superior monitor.

Agreed.

Widescreens should be implemented. And Left_Eye, the poll doesn't take into account widescreen. Try to get another poll going and you'll see it's definitely in demand.

widescreen support + raise the max res.

raise it to 1600x1200 and 1680x1050.

if nothing else, ATLEAST implement 1440x900, playing stretched out on an LCD is über gay.

also, to those that cant play above 1280x1024, what century is your computer from? my desktop is just over 5 years old and i can do 1680x1050 on LCD or 1920x1200 on my 5 year old CRT.

On my laptop i can go upto 1680x1050 and it only has a 16inch screen.

[Basti]

this important

widescreen support please!!

I agree with Sakke

[Sakke]

this important

widescreen support please!!

[Soul Survivor]

PL can we do something about this issue now. It's not a landslide either way for yay or nay so why can we at least try it out in Pub's or Elim. Then revote in a month and see how it's affect the "Total Population".


Thanks

When I play on a widescreen monitor I always getting pwned from underneath, or something up top. Dunno any real solutions though, I voted yes
