Is it true 21:9 brings a big advantage in pvp?

[Azueres]

21:9 aspect ratio gives you more field view. If you have a normal monitor, enable 21:9 mode with in game settings and look at just how much more you see

[Serratic]

You can force 21:9 on any monitor so it’s not really a big deal. You just get black bars are the top and bottom of your screen

[Succ]

FoV was increased in KR by (I think I heard) 10%, but having played on KR myself it does feel larger than that. 21:9 is still a definite advantage but the change did help a bit to bridge the gap.

[catherina]

yeah but how is it an issue? you can literally see the same thing with a crappy monitor. if you want to. but this guy saying “big advantage in pvp” and all of that. this is the first time i see someone complain about this.

[CompressedGiant]

I am still supporting the idea of limiting FOV, Aspect Ratio and all that good stuff in PVP, for equal chances for everyone…

But outside in PVE zones, I would like to use my 3840x1080 without black bars left and right…

should be fairly simple to implement

[Azueres]

You must be new if this is the first time you’ve seen someone complain about this lol. But your point is correct, you can force it with 21:9 mode it just looks worse if it’s not native for you

[Zeus]

Yes you can force it but you get black bars so what’s the point?

I don’t have a ‘crappy’ monitor by any means. I have a 2K(1440p) 170hz monitor…

everybody has an equal chance unless they’re stubborn. the tradeoff is the black lines.

how many months ago was this discussed? i don’t pay attention to silly threads specially when the solution is either go to the options or get a better monitor if you can afford it. but i don’t see why people should be limited because someone can’t afford / don’t wanna go to the option / don’t like how it looks by going into the options.

[Zeus]

Then you should be able to force 21:9 without black bars, like you can in so many different resolutions in so many games

Also most games dont support 21:9. Buying a screen just for that is crazy

[catherina]

i found the thread about the same subject here. but there was no reply from CM’s or anything about the subject. so if you can’t / don’t want to get a new monitor etc. your only option is to deal with the black bars as they’ve never mentioned anything about it. not everyone finds it as a big problem either. so that might be the case i guess.

21:9 Aspect Ratio for PvP feels dumb

It just isn’t fun nor pleasing to have black bars on my screen. I get we need to be fair with the ultra-wide people, but i feel like they’re in the minority and having two huge black bars on screen is a big downer for people like me, even if i got used to it I’d prefer other solutions. I also understand PvP is thought with this in mind, but I think the Arena PoV being tilted would work anyway on some different FoVs. There’s a few I think are viable: Add a minimap so you can know where people…

[Zeus]

Apparently I can just change the resolution from the monitor in the nvidia control pannel. I guess I could try that

[catherina]

hope that helps you out with it! ^^

Edit: do you have the RU version? maybe try it in there and see if that makes it better?

[sknilegap]

I would like them to do this. Emulated 21:9 would be better. I hate ultra-wide and I hate black bars. That being said, if the time comes and I have to deal with black bars, I guess black bars it is. It also depends on how much of an advantage I see it is for myself. Obviously people will have their own opinions but I wanna experience it for myself. Wish I woulda tried it in beta.

Dude 21:9 complaint is old news. We’re on the 32:9 complaint now.

Support for 32:9 5120x1440 Resolution?

I was really disappointed to launch lost ark for the first time and not be able to play at 32:9 5120x1440. I’ve seen some posts on reddit and elsewhere where there were a good bit of people requesting support for 32:9. 21:9 is already supported, so it isn’t a matter of not wanting players using ultrawide aspect ratio. Please lost ark, support 32:9!!! Thank you!

[Max1]

As many others he missunderstand what changes KR did. He think that those changes are 21:9 or somethong like that lol.

–

They add 10% extra view for each side but that change is the same for everyone. So if you have 21:9 you will notice the change as same who have 16:9 or 32:10.

[Arzi]

Not going to lie, didn’t plan my 21:9 for Lost Ark, but I am quite pleased with my purchase.

@Zeus

For a game that has competitive and equalized PvP Im very surprised that they would let such a big issue happen…

1. It’s a big advantage, being able to see more of the playing field is really important.

2. KR changed the field of view on all types by 10%. So its a buff to all ratio viewing space.

3. You can force 21:9, you’ll just have black bars on the top and bottom on most monitors. I’ll be playing this way…its a necessary sacrifice to me.

[Megaa]

It’s basically like this:

So yeah it’s literally night and day. That’s why ppl use forced 21:9 or a 21:9 monitor for PVP

[Kabu]

Its ridiculous the advantage it gives to the 1% of players that plays 21:9.
