In the beta we had the ability to take High Definition screenshots. These screenshots came in a much larger resolution than you were actually using. But it was removed on launch because there were some problems with it.

Over 4 years later, could it finally be possible to get it back? As someone who often creates GW2 artwork, it would do wonders for me and I’m sure others would like it back as well. I understand this isn’t exactly a high priority feature and I don’t expect much to come of this request, but still I had to try and ask.

(BTW, I’m aware of the ability to make .bmp screenshots by adding -bmp to the shortcut command line, but that just isn’t the same)

A bit off-topic, but…what was/is ‘Show the Kennel Dialog’? The Pet Options screen?

OT: Yes, more options would be nice.

Stereoscopic is for 3d view.

What op is referring to is an option during beta that let us take screenshot of 4 time our screen resolution.

There was a bug with it and water (attached image) and I think it was the reason they abandoned it.

I know there’s a program named GeDoSaTo that is very useful for Downsampling because it force any resolution you want while keeping the client to your current screen resolution. I used it a few time with Skyrim, but I don’t know if it works or is allowed to be used with GW2.
