That's nothing else but a proper advice to fix the problem.
The player is unhappy with the black bars and the problem ain't gonna fix itself if they are going to stick with their workspace monitor. They made the choice to buy a wrong product for the wrong use. Buying a proper gaming monitor is simply the solution to get rid of the problem. :)

it's pretty much the same story with all the upset players who made wrong choices with their entire rig or refuse to go with the time and get upset if they hit one or another game with higher system requirements to run properly without lags or crashes.


Same energy as the people who cry about Windows 7 not being supported anymore. :D

Are you proud of being supported by censorship?:) I was explaining how those black bars never really achieve their declared function of fair play, in addition to being poor choice of limitation form (compared to fog of war or simple actor fade out at radius). Since details are "highly discouraged", won't repeat it.


You need to brush up on what censorship actually entails. Casual use of such terms diminishes situations where it actually occurs.

Just stay classy and nothing bad can come your way! :)

The rest of your posts I agree with......but this is straight up wrong. Ultra-wide monitors were designed to BE gaming monitors, offering a more immersive gaming experience than less-wide monitors. It IS a proper gaming monitor and before this change, it WAS supported (more or less) by the game. One of the main uses was for an expanded workdesk, but that certainly wasn't the ONLY use for a widescreen monitor.


Manufacturers also design huge cars with lots of cargo space that I am sure is quite handy, but that doesn't mean everyone has to build roads where they fit.

The other part I agree with; GGG made a decision and we have to deal with it.

Apologies....not the point I was trying to make. I was actually making a similar point to your car analogy. The previously quoted said the computer was the complete "wrong" purchase, which simply isn't true. Huge cars with lots of cargo space are regularly marketed for that exact purpose, so buying it for that usage isn't a "wrong" purchase.

Your windows 7 example is way better....it is an essentially defunct technology that is very much a "wrong" purchase.

I agreed that GGG doesn't have to support the widescreen...but that doesn't mean that widescreen is NOT a gaming screen

There was absolutely nothing wrong with 32:9 except your cursor would not respond for attacks/skills in the regions where they put the black bars now.

Thank you to all the black bar crew for your fallacious arguments, non-sequitors, and ad hominem that helps keep this important matter at the top of the forum.

Mindlessly regurgitating a GGG statement (that happens to be illogical, indefensible, and objectively wrong with the regard to defending the inclusion of black bars in particular) is not an argument.

There is zero rational argument or defense for the inclusion of black bars in this game, and I think the black bar crew knows it since they aren't even attempting to make any coherent arguments.

32:9 worked fine for 10 years. For any potential problems with 32:9 in this noncompetitive PvE game, black bars are neither a defensible, reasonable, or acceptable solution. Acceptable alternatives should be implemented if needed.

1 year, 278 days. Black bars need to go. Fix it, GGG.

It seems even you consider it competitive.
Biggest compliments for my crafted items - "bs, they must have been RMT'ed"

Two years completely ignoring reality...

Also, unless I'm very much mistaken 32:9 did not even EXIST 10 years ago, much less become a "supported" resolution.

Black bar crew....I've never seen black bars in my game. And if I did and it bothered me so much that I would make 600+ posts about it, I would have either moved on or gotten a different monitor, maybe, 500 posts ago at the most?

Zero rational argument....there ISN'T an argument. This isn't a debate. This is GGG's product and they decided it had to go. The only irrational side is this thread. GGG could CLOSE the game servers tomorrow and you know how much "rational argument" you could lobby against it? None.

You seem to be under the false impression that we have to convince you of not wanting UW support.

The only reason this thread stays on page one and distracts from actually more important topics is because you make the same demand in perpetuity. It won't matter if you make that demand for 1 day or 1000 days, GGGs stance is clear and nothing more needs to be said

According to Tom's Hardware the first ever 21:9 PC monitor was released end of 2012.

The monitor clocked in at 600€ retail price. You'd pay around 800-1000€ for a good 5120x1440 capable one these days. It is safe to say that these are a luxury item and only a subset of people who use them also play games, and then even fewer of those who play games on an ultrawide monitor play PoE.

So it turns out that one person is tackle.

Yes I saw that, and likely it was a rare product for at least a year after the first one came out. But that was 21:9.....He was talking 32:9 which was way later than that. Granted, they are basically the same effect but specifics matter!
