    So can we talk about the screen issue here?

    There's a whole other thread to talk about cheating, but I just wanted to talk about the whole issue with things on your screen sometimes being way too small.

    More than that I also wanted to point out something else. Screen size affects a lot of game play that involves the outer edges of the arenas and even mechanics that are displayed higher up in the air.

    I have a really big monitor but I don't particularly like playing in full screen either. Is there any chance we could get all of this scaled better?

    Agree with you. The cheating is just a symptom of an underlying issue. The bosses keep getting bigger, their hitboxes are gigantic. More and more stuff is happening at the same time.
    Meanwhile, I'm having trouble fitting everything on my screen comfortably, even when fully zoomed out.

    The funny thing is…if you use an Ultra Wide monitor (21:9) you have a larger portion of the game on screen than using a 16:9.
    So…21:9 monitors are cheating tools?

    I play on an Ultrawide monitor [21:9]. It does give me an advantage over people who play on a normal aspect ratio [16:9]. I can see mechanics from the side a lot easier without needing to rotate my screen a lot. It also gives me enough space to fit everything on my screen while still being able to see the arena.

    21:9 Ultrawide vs 16:9 Widescreen video comparison.

    In other news, there is no technical debt from 1.0.
    "We don't have ... a technological issue that was carried over from 1.0, because ARR was meant to kind of discard what we had from 1.0 and rebuild it from the engine."

    What is that bottom one? 50:9?
    Would you need to wheel yourself to the other side of the room to read chat?

    Maybe....hear me out. The screen issue is part of the challenge you need to overcome?

    I mean how much farther do we need to stretch with the games intended difficulty?

    I think going after screen size is not something you can expect would be dealt with.

    Technically yes however I would find it very silly to ban people over having a wide monitor.
