widescreen resolution removed from the game.

What the Duck is this ???
Even with the 90% loot cut, you can play the game.. But with the black bars, the game is literally UNPLAYABLE for me...
WHY ? WHY ? That makes no sense to remove 32:9 support after you had it for so long in game and the hardware getting better and better every year..

It's like you want the player to leave your game.. What the duck.. don't know what to say about your stupidity GGG..

I bought this monitor about a month before the league began. This is what it looked like before:

This is what it looks like now:


Poe was one of the reasons I bought this monitor, because of its infamous ultra ultra widescreen support. There is no competitive advantage like there is in a game like Valorant, this change is so confusing and pointless. Why???

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

know how i know you literally never checked the pvp forums?

2nd thread from the top:

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3211476

"Ultra wide screen-screen stretching let you see player spawn from your own spawn location in most tiny maps.

It is a huge advantage to players having high budget and undermine pvp being played by the others.

For my part I stopped playing any pvp since those screen became available and since full screen aoe ROA type skills did not get fixed for pvp."

november, 2021.

i'm pretty sure that was before last week or whatever.

you clearly didn't even bother glancing at the pvp forums, let alone actually reading.

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.

ah, yes. the guy who quit 3 years ago and is here for the lulz is white knighting a game he thinks is garbage.

airtight logic.

Ah yes, a thread about something nobody cares about with 2 responses parroted as evidence that "but muh cheats" has existed as an argument before the white knights started spouting off this patch.

Brilliant.

White knight NPCs gonna white knight.

Bump. Fix it, GGG.

fyi, there are numerous RECENT (~1 year, in other words... the first page or so) threads about this

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3026639 1/2021

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3084383/page/2#p24095194 - 5/2021


so it's pretty dumb to claim this is fake and made up, when it's kind of all over the first page of threads.

dumber, here it is from 2015 https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1217790/page/1#p10273809


basic search for widescreen

https://www.pathofexile.com/search/results/widescreen/search-within/threads-posts/forums/411


and that's just the pvp feedback subforum.

the pvp subforum has way more results.


and here it is from racing, so you know this is old as hell... since there haven't been races since 2016.

PoE has existed for 11 years and this argument didn't exist - EVER - until 10 days ago

*shakes head*

NPCs gonna NPC and white knights gonna white knight.

lol @ anyone thinking PVP is a thing in this game

lol @ anyone thinking removing ultrawide support for PVE because of the 4 people who play PVP is a valid idea

Bump. Fix it, GGG.

Problem: Widescreen has an advantage in PVP
Solution: Disable widescreen in PVP

Problem: 0.0000001% of players try PVP
Solution: Remove Ultrawide Support for PVE

Hey genius. This game isn't balanced around PVP. That was a stated fact from the developers.

This game is not a competitive eSports game either.

Move on with your irrelevant argument.

Thanks for bumping the thread :)

hey, genius - the argument was whether this was mentioned before ~10 days ago or not.

derp.

wow, that's some serious backpedaling.

kudos for having your entire position rekt and still arguing, as if nothing happened, anyway.

if ignorance is bliss, you should be in ecstasy. weird that you seem so angry.
