Sorry to say so, but you don't know what you are talking about. This is not about giving people their advantage back. The current state of widescreen handling is inacceptable and will in the long run prevent people from playing POE, if not changed. GGG can go any direction with this, but black borders covering 2/5 of the screenspace is the worst solution they could have come up with.

Oh and just so you don't get a wrong idea: Even if people owning an ultra widescreen setup, are not the biggest share of the playerbase right now, they are willing to spend 1-3 grand on monitors alone. Think about what those players would invest in POE.


Till these players don't have a larger field of view on the sides than regular players it will be ok, else be sure someone will point it out.
Maybe formulated like this you will be able to undertand what I am talking about.

Yepp, i totally get where u are comming from. The game has got to be fair for everyone.

Which is why imo the cursor beeing able to pass thru the black space is totally going in the wrong direction.
Bump. Revert this change.
Bump. Fix it.
POE is not a responsive game anymore.

And as if that alone wouldn't be sad enough in 2022, it even punishes players with passable black bars, which can get you killed, if you don't find your cursor in time.

This is not acceptable.

When will this problem be addressed, GGG? Please, communicate!
Bump.
Get this sh!t done.
Bump. Stop ignoring and start communicating please.
Bump.

Removing features that have been in the game for 10 years for trivial borderline fake reasons is not OK, GGG.

Fix this.
