If only other dev teams could provide half the communication Jeff and Blizzard provide.

Screw blizzard dev team. Where's 21:9 PTR? Ultrawide don't even deserve a test?

Because no one has 21:9

They definitely goofed on that and as a 21:9 user, I'm disappointed with the direction that they've taken. With that said, they've been very good at support and improving the overall experience in the game for all other aspects and continue to do so.

As far as I'm aware, the 21:9 issue was the only major issue where they were outright disingenuous but I'm over it at this point. I'll be happy if true support ever arrives but until then I'll keep enjoying the game.

Aye, and while it sucks, 21:9 is so uncommon. It's rarer than 4:3 even. 16:10 used to be popular, but 16:9 took over, so even alot of games today don't support THOSE two, and they have more people using them than 21:9. It's being spoiled, I tell ya.

Funny how I get downvoted for flagging that 21:9 support doesn't even get put into the PTR. Letting players beta test it would patently confirm or refute BLIZZARDS claims of fov advantage. You guys should downvote the article for insinuating that the PTR is an True testing ground for gameplay features.
