Custom Resolutions?

I Hope Diablo 3 supports custom Resolutions for different aspect ratios.

Please?

We're supporting all the normal and widescreen (16:9/16:10) resolutions. Switching from a normal aspect to widescreen you will see more playable space, but within each aspect ratio you're not going to get more game space info. That's how I understand it works right now anyway.

So, personally, I think a widescreen monitor would be a good investment. For a lot of reasons/games really. But for Diablo III a 30" 16:10 isn't going to let you see more of the environment versus, say, a 19" 16:10. You'd just have the visual quality improvements that generally come with a higher resolution.

Q u o t e:
If not, just request a visual illustration if you think that would help more.


I'm requesting a visual illustration for my amusement.

Sorry Frisky, I'll illustrate it with you in mind. <3

Here it is, bash. I hope you understand it just as well as I do.

I hope these are all being saved somewhere.

Yeah I knew what you meant though. So I checked into it and right now it's sort of all over the place because spell distances haven't been nailed down to a consistent number and there's been no final design decision on how it will be handled.

My personal hope is that we'll cater to widescreen looking toward the future, but I think the majority of people are still on 4:3 monitors.
