Should we raise resolution limits in TWDD/TWJD?

[curse]

k so lets make 2 types of leagues then. ones for pussies who want to be in dinosaur age and ones for real competitive people that like bigger better stronger faster shit. if u have a shitty comp (5-10 years old or more) then don't fucking expect much from anything other then to surf the fucking web stupid newbies. sure this game maybe be old but the people who play them certainly aren't. we need to advance and change and take fucking chances.

I say ATLEAST try the res thing out for awhile and see wtf happens since game is DYING

and we need more competitive people to play regardless of screen size computer power or wtf ever.

p.p.s who needs to invest to play this game? even with a increased res limit. if your computer is 15 years old, hell even 10 years old, its an antique. I doubt anyone here has a 15 year old computer anymore, and pretty much anything purchased within the last 5 or so years will have a widescreen LCD.

bought this 17" non-widescreen monitor 4½ years ago

don't have the desk space for a widescreen

don't have money or room for a bigger desk

obviously if i ever want to play this stupid game again i will need to move into a bigger apartment so i can buy a bigger desk and put a bigger monitor on it

what the fuck happened to simplicity?

i thought just reshaping the playing field so that it looks normal for aspie widescreeners like you was a simple enough solution that wouldn't give you a huge advantage over people who are still playing on 4½-year-old antiques but in hindsight offering an inch was a mistake because now you cocksucking malcontents want a mile and you won't rest until you can play on whatever resolution you want and thereby reduce a once-fun game to merely another battle of wallets

you make me sick and i hope i'm struck dead on the spot if i ever return to this cesspool

goodnight :groovy:

just learn to play windowed like me. i've been playing windowed since "ancient times" (lol) and done fairly well, plus that way you can multitask easier and not focus 100% on this game. :wub:

twjd resolution limit should be increased, either way.

kthx, please create a system wherein physical distance from the server is not a factor, then whine about lag.

alternatively, lets lower the laglimits to under 10ms and move the server back to Helsinki .

Also, whats this majority of ppl voting are basers/javs bs? a handful of people post in this thread, yet there have been over 80 votes cast, hardly any of them have posted.

Seems counter-intuitive to me that "new" tech is not allowed, basically alienating people with a widescreen who just want the game to look "normal" and not stretched to oblivion.

if you look who voted yes/no the majority of yes voters are javs/basers with a few wbs thrown in and the majority of those that voted no are wbs....so if you put this into place you should keep dd res as it is and increase the other leagues.

Yes, lag is a major problem still. It is kind of hard to be a competitive warbird, spider, or any ship anymore without lagging. Only thing non-laggers have is straying, but lag effects radar movements also. I can understand having a high ping from being overseas.. but there should be a set limit for twd and twl that is much lower then all other arenas. Also, staff should spec players more for spiking... I get "It's okay he always lags like that, hes from Europe." a lot when I report someone lagging to an extreme. This should not be the case, if someone is seen to be lagging they should be asked to re-enter or be subbed. I know some people still do this. When you enter an arena and * the player while alt+tabbed, that doesn't show you everything. Watch the player for a few minutes. Sorry about the rambling 6 am and I need some sleep!

[kthx]

the lag issue is more important than the res issue.

maybe its about time to upgrade all 10 - 15 year old comps rofl

clearly spending money to stay competitive in a game whose only real appeal to this point has been the fact that it's free is the answer

clearly

[curse]

sick of all this bullshit. this game is about dead and theres still people that want shit to be the same. thats how u die quicker fyi.

[curse]

It will just encourage players to rush in twdd. It will be easier to dodge snipes and mid-range, it will just ruin the league, forcing players to rush in order to get kills.

I voted to increase the res limits if for nothing else than to add something fresh to an old stale game. I think it's important to plan on having another one of these polls in a month or something like that (provided that its voted to change the res and you do so) so that we can revert the changes if enough people don't like them.

Also, I use an old 21" (maybe 22, I forget) CRT because I have a huge desk and I got the CRT used for like $40.

Edit: I looked at the people that voted for the resolution increase.... I know in game lofty is sirius and I think he also has the name pro but are all three also the same person on the forums? If so he voted 3 times

even if u minus the 2 extra higher res still wins gg.

[curse]

ps: stabwound, fuck spending that kind of money in an effort to remain competitive in a game that's 15 years old, giving the widescreen users a playing field that's similar in size but proportioned differently is the answer here, don't give them a bigger playing field just because monitors are cheap now (relatively speaking, not everyone has $200 to drop on a monitor), that's stupid

maybe its about time to upgrade all 10 - 15 year old comps rofl

lol@thinking there are no advantages with greater resolution in javelins

theres really not.... maybe u get a lucky angle shot in from far away but thats about it.

Also lets not forget by raising these limits constantly higher you are basically destroying an entire group of players warbirding style IE rushing. It is going to turn every game into a stray fest, it is going to be boring, extremely long games, and is going to nerf a warbirding style that lots of people have been using since they started twdding for the last 6-7 years. It would be like making the resolution limit 800x600 and then telling all the strayers to fuck off. You really need to think about the consequences of decisions and ideas like this before you do them, be a big picture thinker instead of listening to a rowdy minority who haven't played that game long enough to understand what true balance is.

y dont u stick with one topic kthx. LOL PUN

Here is a comparison of view distance between 1440x1024 and 1920x1080, and yes this is going to break the tables. First of all, this doesn't show the difference in vertical view distance, which is negligible, and the distance shown is obviously in one direction meaning you get that on the other side as well.

Also, it's not shown here, but it should probably be noted that at 1920 resolution you can almost, but not quite, see the entire radar left-to-right (not up-to-down, though).

1920 is a BIG difference if you compare it with 1280. You'll see most of the wbs are currently using 1280 and not 1440. I really don't see all the wbs right now having widescreen monitors that can go up to 1920, thus there will be many at a disadvantage. Yes you can buy a monitor, but like I said many play on laptops or older desktops as money is an issue for them. No reason to kill competitive play when the zone is already dying. And yes, I can go up to 1920, but I'd rather have everyone on the same/close playing field to keep the wb competition intact.
