Resolution Cap only for TWDD after Final Reset - Poll

[Fusionbomb]

...the biggest issue is that having the ability to play at such high resolutions is an unfair advantage for the 10% of players that can use them, and an obvious disadvantage to other 90%.

That's how I feel about lag. Just because everyone can't afford cable/dsl, maybe we should set lag cap too. Lag is a much greater issue in dd's than res, imo.

Edit: I know it's capped, but it needs to be stricter, apparently.

[Gripe]

Why is this even an arguement? Not everyone who plays this game is a headset wearing gamer geek with a 42" monitor.

Hecklar was exclusively an elim player before the res limit was raised, now he's straying his way to MVP in TWLD while his team plays 3vs4.

Curse couldn't go even in warbird before the res limit was raised, now he thinks he's good because he accidentally kills 12 people per game from halfway across the arena.

wiibimbo is an example of how new players are entering the zone and starting with the highest reso their monitors will allow and learning to play like pussies from the start and never actually learning how to fly the ship.

All that aside, the biggest issue is that having the ability to play at such high resolutions is an unfair advantage for the 10% of players that can use them, and an obvious disadvantage to other 90%. A player playing at 1280 and a player playing at 1920 aren't even playing the same game.

You saw what happened in Egypt.

I'm not sure how capping dd will affect my activity [if it goes into effect], not that any of you care. ^.^

Every point-of-view and opinion expressed on this issue is good, we need more people like you who play on the higher-resos to contribute to discussion.

Obviously we're all going to biased by the reso we play but we need to work out if people will stop playing if this limit is introduced to twd.

[Fusionbomb]

I'm very sad to see that the higher res will be going. I know I definitely started playing more once it was introduced. In fact, I was actually hoping twl would become higher res. I recognize most of the names in this thread; while I know you are all much better/older wbs than myself, I felt compelled to vote in my favor of keeping high res... after all, this is the first thread/poll I've even heard about the res issue. I'm not sure how capping dd will affect my activity [if it goes into effect], not that any of you care. ^.^

Edit: If you're gonna nerf everyone's ability to play in high res, you may as well nerf everyone's internet speeds so everyone lags the same, too. =D

2nd Edit: 1280x1024 is just too small... should at least keep 1600x1200.

[Mobey]

I fail to notice the no-res limit bought in any new players just because they can use 2000 pixels to perfectly predict which enemy to vulch?

Obviously, LaSenza is one. I asked him when/if he was ever going to TWD and he finally did when he realised he could use his immense reso in league.

I know for a fact I'll be more active in TWD knowing no one has an advantage over me.

[Ganon-Knight]

What, exactly, is the point of having a poll in TW over this? Anyone that actually plays in and gives a crap about TWD already has a forum account and they're all pretty actively contributing their opinion. But hey, that's cool, if you'd rather value the opinion of Sir Pubber Knight, who has 5 hours of play time and only goes around killing people in a weasel while spamming ridiculous macros in pub about how badly everyone sucks instead of the people who actually, you know, play this league, then I would honestly suspect that the final outcome of the situation is that the already shrinking size of the league will just deteriorate faster. But maybe that's your endgame after all. To kill the zone so we can all move to World of Warcraft and get ganked by the Pallies guild. I see what you're doing here, sirs, and I am against it.

I could see where all you guys are coming from trying to expand the game and all with big reso, but it's not effective unless it's consistent. If people agree to make TWL, TWDTDTDTDTDTDTDTD, and TWD ALL have no reso, then hell, i'm fine with it. What I don't agree with is the lack of consistency, it defeats the purpose of practice. This monitor can go up to 2100x1400 or some crap like that, but I choose to play with 1280x1020.

My stance on reso in general: cap it. Everywhere that an advantage is given, primarily warbird. There's a CLEAR advantage in having big reso, hey, i'm a warbird, i've tried both, and i'm telling you it's a LOT easier to dodge, and long-range aim (in case annoying faggots like paul come in, yeah, more dodge, but that's one hell of an advantage).

In conclusion: just cap it. I don't care TOO much about it, more about TWDT and TWL, but hey, the people have (and will) clearly show what they want. Just listen to them for once to preserve what's left of people's general respect towards Trench Wars Staff.

Thanks. Now tell Cres 2 leave me alone.

[Crescent Seal]

I seriously will quit if this doesn't get changed.

+1

tired of this nonsense

[Scoop]

I seriously will quit if this doesn't get changed.

[Summa]

I, personally, have always been in favor of expanding resolutions (as was the case in TWDT (which caught me a lot of shit)). It has nothing to do with discriminating based upon superior hardware, it has everything to do with being more welcoming to all potential players. I think I have talked this view over 100 times, so I won't bore you with it again.

[kthx]

(Demonic)>obviously 1 i can tell you was systole cap who voted in
favour of res cap, but can only say that due to being my squad.
emonic: well doesn't that fall into the realm of.. a biased decision
emonic: since you play on a high res and are a member of his squad?
emonic: and are a part of making the decision.
(Demonic)>not really, since i am 1 player, not the team
emonic: still.
emonic: you play for him
(Demonic)>ok another play i got permission from was curse: who voted in
favour, in fact would quit if we decreased
emonic: and.. what if me, mythril, riverside will quit?
emonic: and cres and drow?
(Demonic)>well thats 4 players which is unfortunate, but, as i said,
damned if you do, damned if you dont
(Demonic)>and myth wont quit
emonic: this is ridiculous
(Demonic)>and btw, no-one else has spoke to me about res limits being
reduced except for you, which is a shame if they so against it :/
emonic: you talked to curse.. about something that changes things in
warbird
(Demonic)>i spoke to who was online at the time
emonic: and value that over the opinion over people who have
warbirded forever
emonic: right, well ill be posting this conversation I had with you
(Demonic)>um i have also warbirded forever
emonic: which I am in the process of doing right now.
emonic: so afk a few
(Demonic)>lol thats fine, i have no issues with that
emonic: you should, it shows obvious bias.
(Demonic)>not really i have been completely honest :P nothing on
there i would need to hide from
emonic: if you didn't have anything to hide you would post the
conversation you had with upper staff, and give out the list of people
you talked to
emonic: because if its people like Curse then it is retarded
(Demonic)>lol why is curse's opinion not valid he plays wb too
emonic: it is less valid than people who are actual warbirds

This is the person, and the kind of thinking that is going into retarded decisions like this, just letting you know.

[Crescent Seal]

This is getting ridiculous. After 3 threads and 2 voting polls which clearly show that the majority want twdt/twd/twl reso capped, staff still wants to ignore us. Like really why are you guys trying this hard to go against the majority? You have squad captains and vets telling you that resolution is a huge factor yet you are ignoring our concerns. I was told that this poll was the final decider and now after there is a clear winner...you want to make everyone vote again????????? Done with this shit.

[kthx]

(PredatoR_FNM>lets come to an conclusion, make a poll to forums about TWDD resolution limitation, becouse im not touching javs or base now. Lets see how many opposes and how many is against, fair deal?
(PredatoR_FNM>but lets not make it biased in eny way
:PredatoR_FNM: will we both agree to live by the poll results after a week?
:PredatoR_FNM: and do what they say?
:PredatoR_FNM: i will stop bringing it up if people vote to not have a res cap
:PredatoR_FNM: and you will change it if they do want a res cap in twdd
:PredatoR_FNM: and neither of us will go around telling people to vote for yes or no
:PredatoR_FNM: just that the poll is up
:PredatoR_FNM: deal?
(PredatoR_FNM>I agree what players of twd wants to do, im not here to supress the activity, hell im here just for you guys, if you guys wont think im doing good for twd I will leave my position.
:PredatoR_FNM: it isn't that, I just don't think that you really understand the advantage it gives certain players, especially in warbird.
:PredatoR_FNM: and getting your information from Demonic who plays warbird on a high res seems biased.
:PredatoR_FNM: but ill make the poll and I will only tell people to go vote, I won't try to convince them at all
(PredatoR_FNM>alright thanks!

[kthx]

Well apparently this poll might be moved to TW as a bot poll, even though Predator and I had already agreed (which I have logged and posted on the forums) that we would abide by the results of this forum poll.

First off fuck no, people are tired of voting for this shit 30 times, people want a cap its abundantly obvious by this point.

Secondly, if you are going to make us deal with this fucking farce by making poll after poll because apparently its "really hard to sign up for the forums" it better be an open fucking poll where everyone who votes gets logged so there isn't any stupid shit from in game staff.

[Scoop]

Did some digging, demonic uses 1920x1440 rez. I wonder if that has anything to do with his stance? Just saying.
