TWD update - Resolution caps have been removed in TWDD/DD2 !

[up in ya !!]

Resolution caps have been removed in TWDD and TWDD2 for the next 14 days.
DD3 / DD4 are running at 2560x1600
Please post your serious comments and tell me what you think.

[kthx]

Been discussed before by smarter people, has been shown to decrease competition by giving unfair advantages to lobbers with huge res monitors, been voted down several times.

Is this seriously the best the zone can do, rehash the same fucking stupid things once every three years by some idiot who thinks hes doing the zone a favor or coming up with some kind of original idea or plan to make x thing more active or better?

Is this whats important in trenchwars right now, changing fucking resolution limits in twdd and twdd2, the zone is all but fucking dead and we get this instead of any fucking action on donation money and public arena changes.

What a fucking joke, this game honestly deserves to die with leadership like this.

PS: this is a my serious post. copy/pasted.

PSS: I don't give a fuck if it is a trial, its a stupid fucking trial thats already happened 10 times over the course of the last 7 years by random fucking mods thinking they are doing something of actual importance.

Support: I feel like I'm always annoying everyone when I request twdd3.

I would suggest keeping twdd and twdd2 without resolution caps, but make twdd3+ WITH resolution caps.
That way the default settings are much more appealing to new players trying their hand at league play. Retention.

If older players feel resolution caps are necessary they will join twdd3+ instead.

terrible idea.. it was fine to let ppl use cheat res in twdd3 cuz at least i had the option to never have to play them. now u guys are forcing it on me when im supposed to be trying to prepare for twld finals which has a res limit? not only is the idea horrible itself but the timing couldnt possibly be worse.

[but...why...per...]

No. Enabling higher resolutions just means those with higher spec computers gain a distinct advantage, something I strongly object too. Having a more powerful computer/graphics card/monitor should not influence the game.

Anyone who plays warbird knows it is generally easier to hit a target on your screen than a warbird that is not, therefore those that have access to higher resolutions will be able to see players on their screen when the other person may not.

Also those with a greater field of vision will be able to find teammates easier, be able to dodge long shots easier (as they will see 'off-screen' shots sooner) and prevent people rushing them as easily.

So no, I refuse to pay out for a high spec computer just so that I can play competitively in a free-to-play game.

Well u can still prepare for ld finals... tell ur teammates to keep resolution below 1400 (games could be harder now). Just think the squad ur vsing in ld finals is in the same boat as ur squad so its not as if they have an advantage over u.

I think if you want a true picture regarding players thoughts about this change, we need to gather around 50 opinions from regular + newish twdd players and post all their comments so people can see if the majority of players favoured it or not.

are u guys done complaining about res cap? If you have higher specs thats great! Dont cry over ur small screen upgrade its 2014.

whats the excuse for when someones aspect ratio forces them to play with W or H lower than the limit you are playing at

And what if I want to turn my screen by 90 degrees?

Good job staff. Making good choices. This could possibly bring players from other zones. I know players from chaos won't play trenchwars due to the res cap. Also we need to look into the future. The current res limit is suited to the old generation of computers. Get with the times

Whilst I personally dislike not having a res cap in dd due to how it gives some players an advantage/can change how people play it is still probably a necessity going forward - so many people now on modern PCs struggle to play this game or find a res that makes this game playable on a res cap. If we want to prolong the life of ss for years to come we have to move with the times and allow for this.

My heart says no but my head says yes.

i also agree that it will screw with gameplay in a negative manner... but its something that had to eventually happen. just rip the bandaid off and allow it in everything.

the question is more do you care about fair games?
I do so in my opinion this was a bad move,
before if everyone would want to play with no limit res then just go to twdd3
now there's no choice and people will blame each other for having advantages which caused the win

Keep dd2 open with resolution caps on. see where people will play the most and which players are playing. (new and/or/vs old)
