Every time you make a useless argument here you are bumping our thread.

We appreciate that.

holy crap, it went from the 2nd most recent to the most recent! THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!

'every fact-based argument that BTFOs my claim is useless'

lolz @ thinking ggg cares about how recent this thread is or how many posts are in it or that this forum even exists

Why are people feeding the troll?

Also, bump.

come on. it's one thing to want to play in 32:9 and it's another to pretend it brings no advantage.

I don't have a widescreen monitor, but my most active friend does, and I doubt he'll be playing again.

I do wonder why you think 21:9 is fair if 32:9 isn't though, but I guess you're mostly just trolling.

It gave me an advantage, A pretty big one, I didn't really exploit it too much since i do a lot of minions but if i were on a bow farming build, ggez bro's.

I didn't like the change either, I'm over it though and im surprised it took GGG this long to put their foot down.

Wouldn't say no to some kind of fix or compromise i did lose a bit of immersion.

To the top!

Fix it, GGG.

Pretending 32:9 is an advantage that should be prevented, but 21:9 and 240Hz displays are OK is the silliest nonsense I've ever heard in my life.

I love how people think POE is a top tier competitive eSports game with wallstreet investors.

"bUt tHe AdVaNtAgE!" "OmG lEaGuE sTaRtS aRe So CoMpEtItIvE"

These people should have bigger things to worry about than someone with a 32:9 monitor having an advantage over you. Try 6 man parties who will literally shit on you without even trying. They make exponentially more currency than you will ever make as a solo player. Even two man parties, can get the exponential jump on a solo player. Literally has nothing to do with computer hardware. You can have a six man group running 1024x768 resolution on a vintage CRT. They will always be at the top tier of the economy with the real advantage.

There isn't one real argument in this thread for the removal of 32:9, and I can't believe GGG is acting this foolish and out of touch with reality.

It seems not possible to just discuss with people that think it's a good change, as giving arguments and feeling of real playing is basicly refuted by a brainded "u see moar tings". No point to give more explainations of what it really is like, i'll just bump the thread once in a while.

so, BUMP, GGG revert this please, we just want to enjoy the game as it was possible for almost 10 years.

The reason there's no point discussing with people is because they are not making good faith arguments. They are parroting irrational nonsense in order to white knight for GGG.

This forum has always had people like that. GGG could announce tomorrow "in the interest of fair competition, our game is now hard capped to 1080p resolution and 30fps - also, mouse and keyboard is disabled and everyone must use a controller", and this forum would have plenty of people defending that as a good idea.

arguing that useful information not only is not helpful - but is a liability. get real.

Let's say you are driving a car at a German highway at about 320km/h suddenly in the bottom right corner of your windshield pops up a notification about low price of gas somwhere nearby, at the same time someone driving 180 kmph moves to the lane you're currently at. See the analogy?

Even useful information can be harmful if it draws your attention away from more important things.

Ultrawide monitors like g9 are over 1 meter wide. you can't pay attention to the sides and center at the same time (though you have more immersive playing experience).
People like me care more about immersion than not dying as much in game so we choose such panels.

Next thing - seeing loot - icons on minimap are visible independently of resolution, you can set up your filter the way that everything worth backtracking for would have its minimap icon

...i guess that's correct, there are at least 3. you should probably work on getting in touch with reality, i guess.
