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

[Jones]

enough is enough about this discussion. it is easier to stay alive on larger res. it is easier to defend, it is easier to attack it is easier to stay alive on larger res because you see stuff much earlier than people on smaller res. it is not up for discussion, it is backed up by every statistic, every logical arguement you can find. if you do not see this, you are biased. nothing else.

IF you have a 1920 res or whatever over a 1280 dude you are going to win, no matter what level of skill you are using, and that is exactly why the res-cap has been voted for this entire time. wbs are designed in a way that they need a res-cap. doesnt matter if it is at 1920 or 1280 it still needs to be capped to level the playing field.

with the res-resizer program, i can use 2500+ res if i want to on a laptop that can go to 1680 max. do you think you have any chance to beat me on some peasant 1920 res? NO, i will lob you to death as long as i have the patience to do it. you can't come near me. you can't stray me. you don't have a chance. keeping/forcing people to use the same res is what prevents these things of happening. otherwise EVERY TOP PLAYER NEED A HUGE RES and that is exactly why a res-cap is happening.

This is 100 percent right on the mark. If you can't comprehend this then you are a fukin idiot.

Fairer play will ensue as a result of this!!! GJ

Thank you!! God.. I dunno how any rational person can make an argument saying unrestricted resolutions do not give advantages to those who use it. If you see more on your screen you get more information to react to which in turn gives players advantages. Aiming on radar is a learned guessing game, aiming at a ship you can see has no guessing involved. hence you get an advantage. Having the ability to see a ship suddenly change direction on screen when others see a blue dot which often gives false readings is another example of a clear advantage having huge resolutions. Being able to see which players ship is shooting while others only see a bullets whiz by not knowing who shot it is another distinct advantage when it comes to targeting. All these advantages are so clear to me (and to so many other players as well) . I find the argument for unrestricted resolutions so weak it is laughable. We have voted on this in the past as Jones pointed out. It was done when twd still had a serious population and passed with flying colors. Learn to play on these res's again you high resolutioners... Make it an even playing field for all and leave no doubt about the end result of matches as a result of this.

When I started this game, 800 x 600 was the only resolution I could use on my Pent 1. Many others used that res too. It was proven time and time again no matter how great you got on that res that the higher res 1280 x 1024 gave players a distinct advantage. When I finally got a new computer with 1280 res it took me a few weeks to adjust to the pace of it and figure it out but I quickly noticed the awareness on the playing field was magnified significantly. It was obviously an advantage and players who wanted to compete in twd had to use it. The same truths are involved with this unrestricted res that has been going on. The difference is that this res increase is totally unneeded. The resolutions we had set were well balanced and worked fine. They are fair and time proven. This is about fairness people. Accept it happily in the name of proper competition.

i made some real errors while writing that post but english is my 3rd language and im drunk so..

but the point is still there

agreed jessup on that 800x600. i was using a 1024x768 and i got decimated. i hunted for a monitor capable of 1280x1024 and it made all the difference! (seriously) also crt monitors works alot better than widescreens for this game

Im sure in another six months well have to hear the same shit

I'd like to think this is the end of it; this resolution cap is in place for a clear reason, the only people complaining are those who have used resolutions that give them an advantage so they do not want to lose that. It's an unfair and unnecessary advantage that means some levels of skill are being replaced by the fact one person can simply see far more of what's coming in terms of shots or rushes or they can forward plan their moves more.

People unhappy about this are like body builders who have had their steroids taken away from them for legal reasons.

Retarded, remove all limits, it's 2014 we have good screens.

[rothe]

So there is no time limit no resolution limits and no ping limits for competitive play now is that right?
If your looking for longer matches of people shooting one another at a distance this might make sense, but add in people playing with ping thresholds does that not kill competitive play?
Is the idea geared to make the league play more inclusive or more exclusive?

[Ricko]

it's not about having good screens, it's about keeping wb dueling how it is meant to be - letting people see half the map on their screen means they will sit back and lob and run a lot, which will drive us towards the most boring style of play and people will lose interest - unless you're welt or lasenza. The game was designed to have the res limits to ensure the style of game play intended is used.

[Pressure]

If I remember correctly, there were a few seasons with no resolution limit and people considered these players on un-level playing fields. The players with massive screens and high resolutions dominated, without contest. Just ask Strike (he explained the necessity of a resolution cap to me when he logged in about a year ago).

No Rab, not everyone plays on a huge screen because not everyone is a nerdy gamer who already has one for other games. For example, I personally chose to have a bigger screen TV rather than investing in a bigger screen computer. In fact, it's 2014, most people use MacBooks or laptops anyway. Only people glued to their computer 24/7 for multiple video games own high-end monitors.

So yeah, if you want to keep the game fair, keep resolution caps in play. If you want there to be specific people (who are already decent) who then become unbeatable because they can see things others can't, take the limits away.

If we're trying to have a fair, unbiased league.. how can you read the words "some players will see things that others can't" and still motion to remove the resolution caps? I don't even play this league much and I know how stupid of a move it would be.

I have several large screen LG televisions for monitors; but I wouldn't say it's nerdy. I watch TV on them, use them for computer purposes, watching movies, using Photoshop, etc.
