Resolution Limits (2015 Edition)

[Rab]

i'm actually curious what an ld with 10 people at 2500x1600 would look like

[Rab]

Steam actually answers this question for us btw...

Keep the current resolution limits (1440x900 / 1280x1024) -> excludes over half of Steam users (so is completely fkin stupid option)
Increase the resolution limit (1920x1440) -> excludes ~2% of Steam users
Unlimited -> excludes nobody

we'd be idiots not to remove the res limits if it actually does make it to steam. at least we'd be idiots not to remove it in all areas outside of twld.

Keep res limits. The game needs to stay balanced. It is VERY in the start up skin to click the res setting. No big deal and any person with basic computer skills will be able to do that. The game needs to stay balanced and we all need to play with in a certain res. That is what makes it fair and how it was meant to be played. This is probably the 20th time I've said this and like the 5th time I voted on it but I will never waiver. Make EVERYONE play within the same specs for fairness.

Edit isn't working...

I meant to say . It is very EASY to set res limits in the startup skin.

We weren't meant to have subspace on steam but here we are.

1. Keep resolution limits for twd/twdt only.

2. have unrestricted resolutions for anything not included in leagues.

What in the world makes you guys and gals think that when new people come in and are sniped off screen and off radar they will hang around?
Second question
Why are you playin windowed? 1920X1080 works just fine. I honestly do not get the res arguments untill you add in the people using their res as an advantage over other players.
What is the end goal with all of these res arguments?
Honestly I think more people would be turned off quicker by all the of the sht talkin which hell I do it too at times
IMO What makes this game great is the skill it takes to play to make a kill.
When you take away the level playin field ie. no res limits.
Again IMO it kills alot of.. Well whats the point then. If your shooting someone who cant see you.. wheres the skill/fun in that? At this point i'm ramblin so i'll shut up said my peace.

Going off that information that Rab linked (as of 6/1/2015), Rab is right. Doing the math, only 47.13% of Steam users play at 1440x900 or lower. That leaves 52.87% of Steam users who play at resolutions higher than 1440x900. If we want to play at a standard, then why not set the standard to 1920x1080? 1080p 60 fps is what most, if not all, game developers are aiming for now as the standard. If we increased the resolution to 1920x1080 then we would be catering to 96.5% of all Steam users, and not just the 47.13%.

Using the same statistics that are currently up on Steam:, if you guys want to cry foul on players having an unfair advantage with larger resolutions. The 5.25% of players who play at 1440x900 will have an advantage over the 41.88% of players who play at lower resolutions. How is that fair to the 41.88%? So lets drop the whole fairness/level-playing-field act crap.

Edit: And if you guys really want to carry on the whole fairness/level-playing-field act, then we should be LOWERING the limit to something that EVERYONE can play at. Going off the statistics on Steam, that limit should be set at 640 x 480. That would be fair to everyone and that would level the playing field, especially for that .01% who actually plays at that resolution.

Edit #2: If you guys don't trust my math, do and check it yourself. The stats are still up there on Steam. http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey

I am in favor of increasing the limit to 1920x1080. Also, I'm not sure anyone plays at 1920x1440. Looking at the Steam statistics, no one does.

[Rab]

I play at 1920x1200 and I consider that to be very modest... I've been considering going to 2560x1440 for a while.

Correct 1080p res should be standard 1920x1080

[Fork]

Why have resolution limits when some old players can bypass them anyway...

Perhaps an idea could be for twdd mode that if you play 50 or more games you unlock a higher resolution... Play 100 games and you unlock no limit resolution.

Tbh... The challenge is getting new players from pub to twd asap... Then twl would be the next chall for them.

100% of the top-level players use 1280x1024

edit: thanks for bringing it up. you said that people who use a higher resolution than others have an advantage. the same reasoning why top-level warbirds don't want no-res limits to make it more fair.

But as it currently is now, it already isn't fair to those who don't play at 1440x900. I'd rather see one resolution limit and not two. If we truly are to make it a level-playing-field then we should go with 1280x1024 in this case as every monitor should be able to play at that resolution. Otherwise, if we're going to have 1440x900 then we might as well increase it to 1920x1080. Not every monitor is capable of 1440x900, and not every monitor is going to be capable of 1920x1080, but if I were to have my choice it would be 1920x1080.

slow your role jabroni. 0 point making changes to twld res cap based on the new player influx we don't have yet. twdd already has 2 or 3 arenas without any res cap so if steam newbies do make it beyond pub then they should be good to go.
