Roberthree Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Alright, heres the deal. If you play in high detail mode and stretch the window to cover half of your screen, you can nearly triple your range of sight. [hide=Example!][/hide] Normally I would only be able to see a tiny bit of that. This is useful in many situations, I'll name a few of my favorites here: Slayer- Being able to click monsters that would normally be off screen is enormously useful. Normally on a waterfiends task I'd only see one or two of them at a time. Now I see nearly half of them, and I can monitor the dragons easily! Fishing- At shilo village, I can see all the spots near the furnace. I also do not need to run or move my camera to see the spot past the bridge, I can check it while crossing. It saves alot of hassle when you want to raise your fishing. Godwars- I can check the levels of aviansie, attack aviansie, and pick up drops all in one swift movement instead of running around like a madman. I havn't had the need to go boss hunting yet But I can imagine this being wildy useful at Saradomin's God Wars. Castle Wars/Stealing Creation/Fight Pits/Ect.- You can see players/recourses from farther away, not only is this less clicking but running around trying to see stuff can get you killed. I used to not play in HD because I feared lag. I've been playing in HD for weeks and it doesn't lag that much more often than Low Detail did, and any lag is made up for by being able to one click way more stuff. If You have the requirements, give high detail a try!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@Dan3HitU Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 People play in low detail because: They prefer it. Their pc isn't compatible with the HD version. They want too, showing things people already know isn't going to make them change their mind.

Musky44 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Most people play on low detail because their computer doesn't have the requirements for high detail. And when I play and high detail, I play on High Detail (Small) for the reason I like to see what I'm doing, and not having super small items.

jessy87 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 theirs different kinds of lag, connection lag and system lag. for example, i can play on HD but, it causes jerky animations. So i choose no to, plus i rather play on low detail it feels less dirty ro something. Quality isnt my main concern anyway. the lag you speak of is probably not system lag tho. I may be wrong, but i might not be. Whatever, I just dont see why a thread to hype up HD is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randox Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Sometimes I hook up my laptop to my PC monitor and dul screen it. It look sa little odd in the middel, and there is angular distortion when your resolution is about 2400x800. Views are done from a point, not a large window, so using my setup I things look tilted at the edges. The problem is my laptop was not intended for that sort of thing, so I have to turn the AA off or suffer 5 frames/sec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master_Smither Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I play in low detail because I prefer it over high detail because I am used to it. I can run HD I do it when at GWD as you said for the wider screen. But since I do most of my clicking off the minimap I have no use for the wider screen and maybe a tiny bit of extra lag which is annoying in GWD and CW when your trying to stop someone or score. I think mainly because I find no need to run HD other than a few places I use low detail with absolutely NO lag which is just the best if your doing something important. Also the texture is a bit too much for my liking.

Smavey Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 High detail also rocks if you're doing other things online. I won't show a picture but say i'm doing somehting like making potions, in high detail and by adjusting how the screen is I can play rs with a small square strip about as wide as 1/8th of my computer screen (where in this square all i can see is the bank and my inventory and a bit of the chat box. So i can do other stuff while on the comp :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InkofDeath Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 That picture reminded me the days without dual monitors. :( The resizeable screen though should become available for low detail mode though, its so user-friendly to multi-tasking while playing runescape.

aznmidget448 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Like many others have already mentioned, most people who are in low detail want to go HD, but cannot because their computers cannot handle it. My old computer could barely run low detail let alone HD, but my new one is better. I can go HD, yet I notice frame by frame lag, so I just normally use low detail. But if I do update my computer sometime soon, I'll remember to go HD and avoid clicking and using the arrow keys like a madman, haahaa. I'd expect that to help while rcing, wcing, fishing, a cooking, as well as a multitude of other tasks. Thanks for the tip :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warren211 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I have quite a bit of lag in HD so I play low detail. I'm nonstop pking, so being lag-free is crucial. Fullscreen might be useful for a pker so I can see lots of things with ease, so I might consider doing it sometime. [hide=]tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you. Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers.

XxTearGodxX Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Yes, I for one love high detail myself. The extra view is excellent and the graphics look 10x better on a bigger screen. You should check out this extension if you like the extra space while you play in firefox. Compact Menu 2 - What it does is takes File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help & throws it all into one drop down menu. You can also remove some buttons and extra space to maximize even more storage space while playing. The only thing I view in my firefox is the navigation bar (where you type your websites) I remove the menu bar and the status bar down at the bottom. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4550 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
