Should we raise resolution limits in TWDD/TWJD?

[Lofty]

This is the only way to do this shit, people will never learn that they are crying about nothing until they see that it really doesn't impact shit as terribly as they think it does

[veetee]

lol at this guy saying stabwound is dictator........ how can that be when majority of people voted higher res?

and he just testing it out so chill the fuck out newbie

You seriously embarassed yourself with this post, idiot.

Why would u raise it after all this time...

I vote DONT raise it why would you after all this time twd is fine the way it is and how its always been i hate getting strayed by newbs if it was raised would be even worst since i only play on a laptop with a shit reso. Now dont fuking raise KTHX

[curse]

Laugh at you.

If you were going to be a dictator about increasing the rescap, why did you even bother doing a poll about it, since the results are in favour of no (49 to 45 votes)? You just successfully wasted everyone's time on trying to voice their for and against opinions, if you just selfishly made a decision not based on the most objective solution here known as the poll (even though this sirius used his 3 nicks to vote on yes and hence gain 3 votes). It just shows that you're yet another terrible, corrupted staffer that is completely deaf. Good job, now i can stop caring about this dead game while you guys have fun laming on players that can't afford 1920 resolution /which is a majority/, because i am not joining the cause.

[kthx]

well, its been fun. Peace.

Alright, I know some people are going to hate this, but TWDD and TWJD are now 1920x1440. I don't think anyone even uses 1920x1440 but Witness insisted on that, so whatever.

If it sucks, it'll be changed back. This is really just to see what it's like, how many people actually use higher res, etc.

Pretty sure every CRT can support 1600x1200

yea, i used to have one which i bought around 2004. pooped on my few years back though :P

[Jones]

oh i have nothing against raising the cap myself. i like playing on 1680, the game was enjoyable. my biggest concern is finding enough players who can dish out atleast 1600 in a game that matters. and if twl does not raise the cap, it would be foolish to play on bigger res if you actually wanted to prac.

[Lofty]

Rofl this is retarded. CRT people should stop complaining because 1600x1200 is all you need to be able to play as well as a 1920x1200 player; beyond 1280x1024 the reaction time etc is insignificant for dodging radar bullets, and almost every monitor should support 1600x1200. So many crybabies in this thread

You're drawing a conclusion from 1 parse and no control?

[Jones]

Ok, show me the data of your "tests."

I didn't say just use 1vs1. You were being argumentative in your earlier post by asserting there are no honest people here.

But, you have to get data from 1v1 also -- just to be clear. You don't need to go all the way up to 4v4 or 5v5. 3v3 would be enough to get a sample of ranged battles.


You can write an essay, hell even a book, on how right you think your assumption is. You can throw the logic at me all day long. And, in the end, I'll agree that your logic is sound. But, without the data, you don't have proof.

Show me the proof.

There is no reason to discuss this further without the data.

here we go (date: 04-09-2009 12:49 PM):

so i randomly decided to try 1680x1050 the other day and i won elim with 4:1 ratio

points to note:

pros
-total immunity vs rushes
-5 seconds more time to dodge shots on my screen (which would have been a radar battle with 1280.)
-lag was easier to deal with
-overall more consistent slow gamestyle
-rushes were easy to pull off because of the greater visual effects

cons
-lag was still a bitch to deal with
-harder to hit (more aim needed, personal problem, not res)
-lower fps (doesnt matter)
-people ran away more often

Conclusion: As you can see, the advantage gained from higher resolution is vastly superior, the only problems with it was personal usage, meaning: inexperienced usage of higher resolution and mediocre players can't pull of rushes that would work on lower res but doesn't work on higher because they are not doing it right.

For a long time there was no res limit, so it has already been tested. I was "testing" it with 1600x1200 res along with most of my squadmates and before that I had 1024x768 res and after the limit I've been using 1280x1024. So I've already tested it for 100s of hours, more testing won't change the conclusion that higher resolution is an advantage.



Two isn't really enough since it's a 4v4 or 5v5 game. There are just too many variables (a player's skill, are they used to the resolution they are using, are they having a bad/good day, the strategy of the squads, how the player's play together, if people are actually trying) to get reliable data from the method you are proposing.
