So they are capping everyones FPS to 60 to ensure fairness also?

I really donāt understand anyoneās argument against adding proper support for 21:9 resolution. First, log into the game and just stand thereā¦ press the āgā button to toggle into the original graphics view and make note of what you can see on the screen. Now toggle back to the updated resurrected graphics view. Notice how you can see more around your character with the updated graphics? This is what going from 4:3 to 16:9 doesā¦ do you think this broke the game?? What do you think is going to happen when someone is playing in original mode and the other person is in the new graphics mode? How would you like it if they forced the old 4:3 aspect ratio on you instead of 16:9 so its fair to those who will play in og graphics mode?
Everyone on here does not want 21:9 to have an advantage over those playing in 16:9ā¦ Even those with ultrawide monitors donāt want the advantage. All thatās being asked is that we are allowed to play utilizing the full screen capabilities of the monitors we own. If that takes some extra coding from blizz to make it fair and that the game mechanics work correctly, then great, blizz should do that.
The only response anyone should have is āYou know what, they absolutely should add 21:9 support back as long as they design and code it to not give an advantage to those using that aspect ratio and that it does not break any of the game mechanicsā. Be part of the solution and provide suggestions on how they can add 21:9 support and make it fairā¦
coming on here and making comments against adding 21:9 support just makes you look extremely pettyā¦

Can Blizzard go one day without being a huge disappointment?!

As hard as it was for me to make this decision, i refunded my copy. If the problem with the black bars is only temporary, which I really hope it is, i will gladly buy the game again.
If i feel like having black bars i still can play d2 classic.

PoE handles this easily. You just canāt target things that are in the extended ultrawide areas. For instance, if you move your cursor to the outer edges of the screen (beyond 16:9) and try to use a skill nothing happens. They could do that here as well if it is actually due to pvp. If not then maybe it was just removed from beta like others are saying. In any event, it looks bad on ultrawide in beta.
Why??? I payd for the whole monitorā¦

Called technological progress, happend before. You also see more with your 16:9 screen than a player with a 4:3 screen.
Feels like talking to a flateartherā¦

When i set the right settings to the classic Diablo 2, it would use more Monitor size then D2R. This could not be true or?
Bad solution. A player can enter a game, hostile the entire party, and then everyone has black bars. Fun way to grief people.
This isnāt a pvp game at itās coreā¦if people want to play a pvp game go play a pvp game
It is the best arpg out there for PvP though, so I think this argument is a little silly.
Even for PvM, something had to be done about aggro range.

Please see my earlier response for how PoE handles this for PvM. So what if this is the ābestā pvp for an arpg, this game was still not created around pvp and thatās an objective truth. To gimp peopleās resolution on such an extremely small subset of players is still silly.
To. Not. Break. The. Game.

The game was also not created around ultrawide resolution.
To gimp other peoples gameplay experience for such a small subset of players is silly 
Iām on the same boat. Ultra wide monitor here. Just buy thinking I can finally see D2 on modern monitorsā¦ Guess what? Nope, some dumb mentality still on Blizzard. Weak up Devs! This isnāt Wow, or some type of esports. By the way, let D2 out this BS esports cancer! We can pvp on D2 and donāt care on cry babies winning about fair pvp.
We play just for fun and D2 is a PVE core game about item hunting.

I was very excited about d2:R but this black bar anti-ultrawide nonsense made me lose all hype. A very vocal minority complaining about a so called unfair advantage in the very small pvp niche gets their way and we canāt enjoy our immersive widescreen gameplay?
I just refunded my purchase. If blizzard decides to āfixā this and give proper UW support back Iāll gladly repurchase the game.

waiting for refund.
As many players here I just wanted to play classic D2 in modern hardware, but devs cripples modern hardware into classic and selling it as modernā¦
I dont care about PvP, i dont care about ābreaking game issuesā or āadvantage in PvM/PvPāā¦ I just paid a serius money for HW, for game and that game is crippled.
If that is only one problem, Ill wait until full release but it isnt. Just randomly:
- overheating my RTX
- servers are gone as usually (expectable and nothing done about it)
- game lobby is horrible
and mamy minor issues as usualy in beta isā¦
If dev adds proper UW support and fix RTX issues I gladly repruchase it again

Lolā¦ break the game? It worked in the Alpha Test and no one leave the game because it was broke.
