the argument's been made for many, many, many years - starting from pvp/racers.

And yet there isn't a single race that was won by someone because of this. How curious that this is such an advantage and yet no one benefited from it.

THIS. No racer won anything because of 32:9, and PVP is not a thing in path of exile.

But I suppose white knight NPCs gonna white knight.

Fix this idiocy GGG

Yet 32:9 wasn't even removed for this, neither an argument that GGG used to justify it.
As said previously, it doesn't give any advantage on a real 32:9 display, the added elements on screen are on the edges of your FOV, it's jsut a immersion feature. Abusing it on a windowed client with smaller screens is another issue, and can be adressed by much smarter ways than a braindead "just kill it". At this point, the feature was there for a decade, one more year with it in it's current state wouldn't have been a huge issue. Just touch it when the complete fix is ready to go.

If it really is an issue for races and PVP, there are ways to juste disable it on thoses specific content too... and let 99.9% of the 32:9 playerbase enjoy a more immersive game.

Otherwise, thanks for the thread bump :)

...k, but the person i quoted claimed this was never an argument in poe's existence until now.

it has been. it's pretty much ALWAYS been an argument.

lolz @ immediately jumping on an assertion you can't back up.

after moving goalposts from "didn't exist - EVER" to some other falsehood.

yes, and this is one of the reasons why. it's an absurd advantage over other aspect ratios.

Hi robmafia, What killed it for you? I know you were not a fan of power creep.

races being completely abandoned

pvp being... perhaps worse than abandoned and in a godawful state of unplayable (ironically, this resolution removal would have helped that. now it seems years too late)

monumentally excessive power creep... and constantly worsening

game easier/more casual than ever (path of netfix) - early betrayal was actually halfway challenging and finally made poe fun again... of course, that was then nerfed something like 18 times. everyone just complained so much about having to actually have defenses or not just stand in damage/slams with glass cannons... anyway, that was the last i really played. checked the next 2 leagues, hated it, didn't bother checking since.


in the end, it was just 'game too easy/too much power' and without pvp to give me something to do, seemed to be no point.

i heard about the fallout from the recent posts of chris and checked the forum for the lulz.



edit: honestly, surprised you're even posting on here. ggg gives zero fucks about this forum (only cares about reddit, seemingly).

I sincerely miss the races, My first premium tab was from points earned in a race, I also got a Weta pet after that.

I had hoped so much for PVP to return even recently posting some league concepts that at the very least would allow players to fight eachother (player versus players dungeon) and even that i think is a stretch to hope for.

The days of getting wiped out in sarn were most of my pvp experience and while i was never any good back then i did manage to pull off a few troll beartrap builds to get back at the 1%'ers in sarn arena.

The actual PVP queue system however while this game is NOT balanced at all for pvp i had a ton of fun occasionally getting matched with an opponent that did not get 1 shot by me and did not 1 shot me either allowing frantic and exciting pvp to occur, I would really hate to see it disappear literally forever.

Betrayal i think was one of my favorite leagues, Power creep is just a hard one it almost feels like we can't avoid it happening but do have to reign it in every now and then, I don't have the mental capacity to approach that one atm lol.

He literally posted in the feedback forum, I stopped dead in my tracks shocked.

You know for so many years i was right there on that train, After some of the changes they made to the atlas tree and other things its really made me feel like they've been listening to some of our feedback here. I could be dead wrong /shrug

GGGs communication: "We added new features for Ultrawide."

Reality: Added black bars.

Nope. Everyone making up nonsense fake arguments with awful invalid logic is a white knight.

No. It hasn't. If you would like to claim otherwise please link the relevant reddit posts or forum threads from before August 19th, 2022. I'll wait. I've been around the subreddit and this forum for 10 years, I've never seen any instance of that argument. Which means it's either never been made, or it's been made by someone and received zero support from the community (because it's obviously nonsensical and everyone before this patch immediately recognized it as such)

Please also explain why you believe this "but muh cheats" logic applies to 32:9, but not to 21:9 or high refresh rate displays.

Do all that, and I'm happy to simply admit we agree to disagree. Until then, enjoy your white knight NPC status.


Also, bump. GGG, Fix this nonsense.
