There should be some forum rule against posting the same comment every day to keep a thread locked on page 1 of the forums indefinitely. You're not adding anything new to the discussion, and the fact that you and occasionally 1 or 2 other guys post in favor shows there is very little interest in this feature.

Rather, I'd like new ideas be discussed more prominently for which there should be room. There's this thread and then 3 or 4 other threads all pushed by the same guy, every single day pushing new threads down.

Don't Fix it

Ad hominem and misquoting me just make my point - there are defensible arguments for the inclusion of black bars

Even if the devs do restore UW by doing whatever, it'll likely only be after they finish PoE2. In the present moment, this thread is just in a useless perpetual hissy fit state.

I appreciate you guys helping to keep this important problem at the top of the forum and your help repeatedly proving my point that there is no reasonable defense or excuse for putting black bars in this game.

GGG, you're not a small indie dev, you can spare the dev time.

Fix it

Ah, yes, the "important" thread being kept up by one dude for a full year. The "important" thread. The thread that is "important". Hmmhm.

It was alredy fixed.

If you all want the thread to go away stop bumping it.

Personally, I think they should do something more creative with the bar space, or just revert the change.

Stuff like this is important to fix or address, especially since they said they have been working on it and went communications silent for like a year or three.

They still haven't said if poe2 is wiiiiide or not, right?

Haven't you noticed the last *checks notes*... 96 pages, it's one dude bumping? And you bumping just now? And me pointing out the irony?

Is it though? They get nothing from it except at best 1% of the total gen pop maybe buying supporter packs and at worst none cares because they took too long.

no message today ?
missing ultra wide screen, too...

Guy is on probation, he is guilty of disagreeing with GGG :kap:

Fantastic to see how this is what it has been all along, a non-issue, when it isn't quite literally one person pushing and clinging onto something that should have been fixed many years ago.

Well done GGG.

I don't see a difference between this thread and countless other threads asking GGG to fix QoL. Poe was fine for a decade without any bars, with not a single white knight complaining about aspect ratio. And GGG worrying about T-posing mobs and/or extra server load - is their own problem, not players problem, which GGG shouldn't "fix" in such crude way.

From the top of my head, other archaic QoL on the same level as black bars include:
- No vacuum loot pickup (not even manual AoE pickup hotkey with filters).

- Way too much clicks in inventory management. GGG did add currency bulk shift to trade window recently, guess they did their good deed quota for this year.

- Map rolling clicks. Problem intensified with T17 introduction to a point chaos orbs grew in price for a time, lol. Rolling away BS mods like reflect or no regen or half T17 mod pool or specific build-disabling mods is pure tedium and 0 entertainment. Make me pay 10 chaos per map for a fixed mod pool via map crafting UI, I would even pay 20 per map to save time and clicks.

- Mass item identification. Why not place hideout object revealing whole inventory on click? You could sell MTX for it too.

- Inability to remove buff vfx from passive/ascendancy nodes even with paid MTX. Aegis bubbles, elusive, onslaught, etc. For a game marketed via cosmetics this is facepalm.

- (Standard-only) map/scarab conversion. No clarification needed here.

- Way too much clicks on crafting. Admittedly this is tough to improve, whole system hangs on current controls nature. But such tedium still has no place in the future of videogames.

- Tedious trading, this is a topic in itself. Not going into auction house, but even within the current system, why do I have to break gameplay rhythm and sift through my stash looking for requested item? Make a small window showing the item and the approve/decline buttons. Approve opens standard trade window.

- vendoring 3 to 1 and premium tabs like oil upgrades. Once again, a ton of clicks for a simple operation.

Do you guys think all those requests were also "one person pushing nonsense"?

EDIT: forgot stacked decks opening, lol. The only reason I was selling all decks I found was because of how nightmarish was the idea of opening them :)
