They showed they don't want to change resolution

I mean seriously... Patch comes out in 2016 and you don't add bigger resolution???
Well yes that's one of the problems that sigma suffers as well.
Increase the resolution and:
- There will be black zones on the maps. People who have used multires know what I mean.
- Skill balance will change drastically. For example, skills that you target anywhere on the screen (flamestrike, teleport, etc) have more reach and thus become stronger
- Bigger resolution doesn't affect monsters! So you have to modify all AIs in the game code so that they can detect you from further away.
Even with all these problems, we are pushing the resolution to 1024x768 (it's a big deal, trust me), and adressing these issues as best as we can, with the limited tools we have. On the other hand, blizzard with the source code and being able to solve these issues much more easily, they don't. That's just the true reflection of
their interests (profit from kids) and
our interests (keeping the game alive). qq
