Should we raise resolution limits in TWDD/TWJD?

[Burnt]

Stab, I agree with you. I think these days a lot of people have bigger monitors.

A lot do, but the majority still don't.

So, it's pointless to still use the same old small res when other zones allow you to use bigger res.

Why should this zone try to be more like other zones which aren't nearly as popular?

Another neat thing about adding bigger resolution, in my opinion, it will add more interest to the game. Maybe some new players will actually start playing better and stick around more due to that fact..

I think the opposite will happen, if people lose simply because their opponents have bigger resolutions, or even if they are winning because of this, it cheapens the competitive aspect of the game and people who play this game because they enjoy the competition will lose interest. I mean if it's only TWD and not TWL it doesn't matter so much, but if you're not doing it in TWL then what's the point of doing it in TWD? I don't see new players flocking to other zones without a resolution limit, so I find it extremely doubtful it's going to have that effect here.

I'm all for it, have been for years.

...TWDD and TWJD are now 1920x1440. I don't think anyone even uses 1920x1440 but Witness insisted on that, so whatever. ...

Now this 1440 got me confused for a couple of days. But I think I solved it: now you can play pixel perfect 1440x1080 in 4:3 portrait mode.



Good thinking Witness!


[edit]I think I really got it now: there are some old crt's that can display 1920x1440, like the Iiyama Vision Master Pro 511.[/edit]

my res goes up to 1600x1200 for perfect gaming so i don't really know what to vote here :// something in between thank you

Voted yes a while back, this game is boring with the same players and same strategies so maybe a res change will spice things up.

I checked the players who have played the most TWDD games on the TWD site, out of the top 60, 42 were playing on 1280/1440 or under since the res limit was lifted, 8 are playing on higher than 1280/1440 since the res limit was lifted, and 10 hadn't played since it was lifted. So that's 8 out of 50 or 16%. I don't think 16% of people using high resolution is going to really effect game strategies other than giving these few people a competitive advantage over everyone else.

I just like being able 2 play on any res at all... diversity ftw newbies.

Love the new res limits. Keep up the good work!

Anybody arguing that res limits doesn't help wbing should shut the fuck up and not post again

I am very against changing resolutions. I have a widescreen computer and I play full screen: NO STRETCHING. The reason it's stretching is because of your own display settings.

Not only that, but everyone who is arguing higher res limits will add to this game let's be 100% honest. Having a 1900 res vs. a 1280 res is not going to DRAW more ppl to this game. If anything, it's gonna piss of the ppl who feel disadvantaged to QUIT. Nobody is going to come play this game b/c the res is higher now but ppl WILL leave if you make the res limits higher.

I don't get the 'this game was designed for ... resolution'-argument. The warbird settings in TW are similar or equal to the original VIE settings. And the VIE settings didn't have a resolution limit, as far as I know.

I remember playing Amateur League in 1600x1200 (on a 40kg/90pounds 21" iiyama crt, around 1997). Amateur League was a 4vs4 wb competition, much like TWDD/TWLD.

TW introduced resolution limits, I think. Dunno why exactly, but I would be happy to see them gone, or at least to be up-to-date.

[kthx]

This thread kinda died, no new news about how the resolution change has magically increased the number of players playing TW by 25% or anything, just sorta wanted to hear from Stabwound now that the poll continually sides with no even after the change was made with some of the votes being cast after the fact.

[kthx]

60-47.

Both your time and your ability to randomly change aspects of this zone because you have a wild hair in your ass are waning.

[Ganon-Knight]

I voted Yes on the poll and have been pretty much fully in support of this.


I'd like to now say fuck higher resolutions.



That is all.



-SS

[kthx]

And two days after this retarded decision, there is an ever widening gap of no's to yes's 59-48.

How about you fucking change it back d-bag.
