widescreen resolution removed from the game.

I really hope that the change was made on a pure technical basis and not a balancing one. At that point we'd also have to cap FPS or even bandwidth. We are in 2022 and should look forward, not backwards.

It would be nice if a staff member could take a stance on this and make it clear if this change is temporarily or here to stay.

I've supported this game for years, I do enjoy that we are going back to the old POE gameplay and I am fine having leagues not standing out as much as others once in a while to accomplish long-term balancing:

But I won't spend a dime on a game that drops support for next-gen tech from one patch to another, without previous communication.

protip: stop being an NPC white knight

protip: GGG, stop being dumb and fix your game

...did you really not comprehend that i picked the deadest forum of all to use for that example? i mean, i LITERALLY spelled that out.

the least used forum of all had numerous examples of it.

derp.

OBVIOUSLY the other forums had more examples, hence why i even explicitly stated this, already. ffs, man. keep up.


there's a reason why you're incapable of backing up your position with evidence. you can't.

It really does make me wonder the type of individual who wants to argue about a compatibility change in a game they claim they stopped playing years ago.

Then again, he jumped into the thread by claiming that because he thinks someone has benefitted from ultrawides, other people have to prove to him that no one ever benefited from them. So you know, no point in engaging.

no, others claimed that no one benefited from it and i asked for evidence/proof of their assertion. notice, there was/is none.

Why does the microscopic fraction of players who dive into PvP determine the resolution for all the rest of the players? Why not set 21:9 dynamicly as soon as PvP game modes are active?

This is such a bad design decision in 2022, a perfect example for a company out of touch with their customer's needs.

the reason isn't pvp. it's due to idle mobs/projectiles going invisible beyond a set distance.

which, ironically, is only a pvp problem... (because players aren't idle mobs)

ggg is in a pick your poison scenario due to their own bad coding and inability to fix the invisible proj bug (which they've known about for at least 7 years). so either mobs remain idle and ultra wide players can see where they are with impunity or the aggro range increases, which is going to kill off tons of players due to the aforementioned invisible projectiles. (there's some karma here... in that a long known bug that's plagued pvp for ages that ggg never bothered to fix is now taking collateral damage from ultra widescreen users, lolz)

if only "trolling" (seriously, if you think you're trolled by facts/evidence, then maybe you should assess your belief structure) wasn't more fun than the game.

did you even read that? there are numerous people mentioning the inherent advantages that the resolution brings.

poe 2022.

This forced me to be zoomed in slightly more than before, I dislike it and it has caused slightly increased GPU load too since im closer to some elements now.

Other than that I'm over the whole widescreen change despite being very against it initially.

Bump. Fix it, GGG. No excuse for this nonsense in 2022.


White knights are lol

Fix it!

Revert - this needs fixed
