What is evident is you do not comprehend the problem we the majority of this thread do, understandably as you do not have the necessary hardware to do so.
Unless you are suggesting you use your computer via your television, in which case you also desire a larger experience.
As to your foolhardy statement it fails to bring into consideration that they can artificially limit other aspects of the game such as monster and object render distance.
The best example though is Diablo 3 which fully supports SUW and I have yet to find I have any large advantage there.
It isnāt an opinion when it is a fact. It breaks the game. Iām done arguing. Your only argument is that you want the bigger screen space, because you have it available and have complete disregard for what is actually happening in that extra screen space.
- Extra teleport range
- Extra visible monster range where they canāt see your or interact with you
- Clear pvp advantage with more space to see
These are the only arguments I need, or anyone would need.
In conclusion, ill say it with definitive proof (facts) ultrawide breaks the game currently.
So unless a fix is made to address these issues, there is no reason it should be in the game.
I will not continue to vehemently respond to this thread anymore.
Wish you all the best, and hope the issue is resolved for you without deteriorating the rest of the experience for everyone else.
Bye.
This post contains False or misleading information. Please review the other forum posts.
Specifically the one demonstrating the teleport limitations in a video.
You are incredibly dim-witted. I have already demonstrated that:
- 21:9 and 32:9 does not offer increased teleport range. Itās limited to edge of 16:9
- NPCs, players and objects could easily be made visible only in 16:9 view
As I said, this is technical issue. Blizzard is so lazy, that not only do they implement the most performance and experience damaging method to āfixā this, they failed to communicate the change between the technical alpha and open beta.
for the few that does pvp most playerās play solo in private password games has nothing to to with you or any other players that use 16:9 get that in to your head you selfish prick
This is how I intend to play, Diablo is not the type of game where PVP is meaningful content, meaningful Diablo 2 gameplay is taking a team of friends through a dungeon crawl.
Talking with you have no sense you simply cant aknowledge a current state āBreaks a gameā for ultrawide users, you also dont understand how world works and how other games operates and what are current standards, i see here a poor man with TV instead of monitor what stays in stone age and want to every other have exacly the same setup, sorry but no, its jumping in to time machine and goind back to comunism.
and since you like black bars then press G to toggle Legacy then
I also own 65" 120hz oled tv.
I still want to play the game on my 21:9 gaming monitor.
You have that extra vision even in CSGO and Apex legends, you still get beat by better players playing on 1920x1080 because they are better at the game.
You say that I can teleport faster so I can find gear faster in d2? Have you even played the game?
If you can understand maps better than me then my teleport advantage would be nothing compared to your in game knowledge, just get good and stop complaining about modern day hardware advantages.
I have plenty of friends who play fps and would probably demolish you even on 240hz monitor while still playing on 60hz, Iāve never seen good players make this an issue.
Youāre stating that it ābreaks the gameā, what does breaking a game even mean?
If weāre together on baalrun, someone teles and cleares throne, we go dia at same time, me and you, I tele star and make tp, you come in and we clear.
How does me playing on 21:9 break your game!?
Just the jealousy of not having it to yourself.
If you want the game to look wider, which I donāt see the reason you should but if you really feel like you have to, you can add new resolution to your 55" 120hz oled and probably apply it in game so you have black bars at top and bottom.
Mob aggro felt already wierd at 16:9 anyway. I can play slowly and attack mobs on 16:9 without them noticing me first, over all playing like that is slower, kill per minute is lower and I canāt see how someone would be benefitting from such gameplay that we would have to make an issue out of it.
You want a fix? Make a new topic asking for 4:3 resolution to be one and only.
Playing on 21:9 I wouldnāt care AT ALL if I had a guy in my party using 32:9.
Being a gamer on on younger side of this target audience Iām sure that I will level faster, get higher on hc ladder and manange to find more items in ~2 months into ladder than 99% of those 32:9 users. And I wouldnāt even think about them having an advantage over me for one split second.
Complaining about that hardware āadvantageā is just pathetic.
Problem is not ultrawide resolution but unlimited aspect ratio which would allow some abusers to go to total extremes with aspect ratios.
Modern day gaming monitors aspect ratios should be supported 100%
@Blizzard , Stay a while and listen to your Fan base, We Desire the option to create an Ultra wide enabled session. Give us an option do not artificially restrict us with a black screen overlay.
Why donāt you buy 32:9 with 144 ms?
Just a bunch of ignorant whiners imo. If you want your ultra wide experience, come up with a solution, that does not give disadvantages to anyone playing 16:9.
Havenāt seen one single try so far. The only people I have seen, trying to find solutions are actually 16:9 players, who try to find the most fair and satisfying solutions. (Also for other topics) and also after it was clear, that ultra wide is not in the beta.
Whine somewhere else. The dev team has proven to care about the Fairness in D2R. Rather try to find a better solution with them, than being a bunch of cry babies.
no thx i prefer the solution right now , you having the black bars 
Youāre the one crying about people having advantages. You should start a big big topic where you want to cap fps on all competitive games, ban 144, 240hz monitors globally because some students canāt afford them, right?
I recommend you to start with apex, csgo, and albion online with widescreen problem that surely needs to be fixed in those games.
I think you will gain a lot popularity with the way you see things.
Imagine calling people ignorant whiners when they have PAID for their hardware, have no problem with it in any other game and now d2r gives them problems
now 16:9 has an unfair advantage due to forcing ultra wide in to window mode if they cant fix it for uw then focre 4:3 for all then you will start crying wonāt you
Nope, i have only created one thread about this, and it is one, in which I mostly try to argue in favor of you ultra wide whiners, to find a solution, which is not unfair to most players and at the same time could satisfy you:
I have mostly tried to explain to people like you, most of which donāt even know what namelocking is, why the D2 mechanics break, if you have such an advantage. In many other games, especially modern games, this is not the case.
The devs tried out ultra wide support and really no one wants to steal your nice ultra wide experience from you. I 100% agree, that ultra wide is beautiful and I will most likely get myself a 21:9 monitor in the future. But D2 doesnāt work as intended with that ratio.
Not nearly as gamebreaking as in D2, for reasons you apparently donāt know, because you seem to have no clue about D2. Please go ahead and prove me wrong.
Yes, ignorant, because no one of you, I have Seen, so far addresses the issues, but states, they were not existent lol.
And you can still enjoy your hardware, in every game, that supports it. People also buy controllers, that are not supported by some games. Itās the devsā job to restrict the hardware to the point, at which the game is not breaking.
I donāt see any threads about people complaining over 100s of pages about their VR and noname controllers not being supported. That makes you the whiners here.
And still, you respond, without trying to come up with a solution. Try it. It brings you closer to your goal, than fighting me. I recommend a read in the thread I linked, where some proposals for solutions are discussed.
And I feel you, in the way that I know how disappointing that is. I know that, from e.g. the many times, D3 devs dissapointed me and made the game I loved to the game, that bores me to death.
But all of that does not change the fact, that ultra wide screens break the fairness in D2 way more than in other (modern) games. The devs tried and came to the conclusion, that D2 is simply not made for 21:9 and 16:9 being used simultaneously.
You think I have no experience in d2? I was recruiting people and giving them hardcore ladder uber trist leveling service back when I was 11-12 years old.
I could probably find baal faster playing on 4:3 than you would on 32:9
You addressing people bringing up ultrawide problems āpeople like youā is awful.
Youāre actually daring to say that 21:9 vs 16:9 namelocking problem is NOT NEARLY as gamebreaking as very clear advantages on actual esport genres is just showing your arrogance and lack of knowledge about gaming overall, not just about d2.
Let me remind you, youāre protecting the same d2 pvp scene where meta is ābetter hacker winsā. In order to find legit players for pvp you have to search them on forums and you still never know.
Or that attitude where those same pvp grinders are defending kolbot usage because āthey donāt have time to play and only want to pvpā?
Donāt be surprised I hold a grudge against that fake picture that has been painted in this forum about āpeople that stayed playing d2ā and who want ultrawide to be fixed.
Iām not trying to find a solution because Iām confident in my gameplay to not give a ratās butt about someone playing on higher aspect ratio than me.
I donāt mind people having an hardware advantage over me, makes me just want to play better.
Your āBREAKING THE GAMEā attitude is awful and stone age when it comes to ultrawide.
Stop comparing your sad setup with better ones and searching for excuses how they will have advantages, focus on playing better yourself.
No it donāt one its 16.5% more screen on each side thatās only one tellaport
They can up the monsters argo
And put a limit on skill range
That would fix it for everyone
There is a simple answer why most of us dont know what the namelock is - because none of us ever touched D2 PvP in our lifes! Its only you and 9 of your friends who knows what is this and using it 
Basically you want to punish us for having advantage (unfair, I forgot of that word Iāve hear like 200 times in last 3 days, unfair) in something that noone of us doing - some āmythicalā D2 PvP 
Only you trying to find solution to this (non existing as we dont do PvP) problem? Well I give you one. Hard 16:9 limit in PvP. You pressing some button, Iām pressing mine, Iām limited to 16:9 from now on. Simple. Teleport is already limited to 16:9 so this problem is solved. Now you and your 9 friends can peacefully go doing PvP. Have fun!
