Hi

I’ve got the problem, that if I want to play the game in 4k resolution, I need a magnifiying glass to even read the text when the interface is set on “larger”.

Would it not be possible to make a bigger interface? I’d appreciate that a lot and think others will too.

The devs have enough work to do than cater to the <1% with this issue.

And as Behellagh said; you’re one of the very few who play Gw2 @4k. High end systems don’t have an easy time keeping acceptable FPS at 1440 or 1080p during large events/wvw.

Don’t expect a “Larger large” option any time soon..it could happen,but dont hold your breath.

Its been reported a few times now, I think its because when the game was developed, 4k wasn’t even a thing for gaming, I agree that they should look into this, given that a lot of people play other games that might well support 4k, id be amazed if they didn’t have something to cover 4k after HoT is released.

It has definitely been reported multiple times. I play 3840 × 2160 right now, and while it’s playable, it’s can be really hard to read boon stack numbers and chatlog entries.

It’s hilarious to me that so many people dismiss this issue because “Only 1%’ers play like that, you elitist snob!” These claims are false. Nvidia Dynamic Super Resolution allows gamers to enjoy 4k resolution with non-4k monitors, meaning lots of people are playing or trying 4k.

Another counter-argument: WoW is 10 years old, and they’ve had proper UI scaling since the get-go. They didn’t have to prepare for “4k elitists”, they simple took care of the problem with smart coding. GW2’s UI, however, is the least customizable (but very pretty) UI in the MMO market. Unfortunately, pretty does not trump quality of life.

Check your privilege, pal.

These aren’t replies from envious people with “aluminium cans”.

For one; Behellagh.1468 has been a constant presence in the Techsupport section(and others) for years. He has a pretty good idea what he’s talking about. Not to mention he has a pretty great rig,iirc.

Two; The reply he gave you is more straightforward than anything id expect from anet. Unless,of course, they have a 4k UI ready to go in a week or two. Then you’d get a useful reply.

If they don’t have a 4K UI very close to being launched,the best reply you can hope for from them is "Ready when it’s ready " or "Soon™ ".

You realize how many threads are posted, and how little replies from Anet there are? That is because they can’t reply to each thread to answer questions. If they want to release one, they will. They don’t need to respond to you person with a yes, no, or maybe. They don’t have the man power to focus on forum replies.

Can someone explain the Aluminum Can reference because I’m thinking it’s a generation gap thing.

He’s saying our PCs are no better than soda cans because we dont/cant run 4k

I think its a language barrier thing. These days,in most corners of the web, it’s called having a Potato for a PC.

Okay, I thought it might have been a Mac Pro reference. But they look more like park litter bins than soda cans to me.

I dont think the OP is out of line with this. There should be UI Scaling for higher resolutions. As another mentioned though, I would suspect that there will be one with HoT release(whenever that happens!).
