Windowed or Full Screen? - crazybel - 2008-07-03

I haven't gotten around to trying windowed mode. Keep forgetting to, heh.

This is a reminder to myself to try it out.

I don't really use chatting programs while mapling so I might stick with the full screen mode. Maybe if I need to check the internet a lot, then I might start using windowed mode.

I'm big on multitasking, so, windowed :U

Almost always windowed... So I can do things like post this while talking to people on maple story.

Almost always full screen. My laptop fans are all clogged with dust so my graphic card heats up real quickly. Putting Maple in windowed mode just increases the strain on the card and my computer crashes more often.

Besides, I can Alt-Tab pretty quickly if I really need to chat while Maple is on. I'm sure when I get a better computer I'll use windowed mode more often.

Is Zakking with windowed mode laggy? Haven't zak'd since the patch.

I like full screen I just used windowed mode a day ago and it looked pretty nasty.I guess windowed mode is good if you are on msn ,etc

Some people claim it to be laggy, for me it's actually less laggy.

full screen and 2 comps to chat ftw... windowed mode aint all that good

Windows mode is laggier for me, and even if it wasn't laggy I don't think I could use it regularly, my eyesight isn't great so whenever I switch to full screen I end up spacing out.

Windowed mode is sooooo much easier for me. I don't feel like I'm closed in on MapleStory and I like multitasking while I play. Plus I've got a pretty good laptop to handle windowed mode.

Windowed for playing, fullscreen for AFKing. Windowed allways shows over the desktop which can be annoying when I'm trying to work on other things. So for that, I switch back to fullscreen so I can minimize it without it getting in my way.

Windowed mode gives me more FPS at Horntail at Zak, and in general is more pretty looking and more how the game should look like lol. Full screen ftl Rolleyes

Windowed or Full Screen? - ToastyGhost - 2008-07-05

half and half. Fullscreen if I'm training or zakking or doing anything where my full attention is on MS. Windowed if I'm sitting around waiting for my friends to come on IM and just want to bonk sentinels with a noob character. I like having the option to do it both ways.

Definitely faster for me there. Sums up my thoughts completely above.

I prefer full screen. It keeps my attention XP

Feeling claustrophobic? Biggrin

I use them equally. Windowed mode solved my problem of MSNing, which I love. If I'm bossing or training though I usually use full screen. Window mode can be quite straining for me after a while, it makes me wish they would resize to 1024x768.

I use windowed since I use msn at the same time. Its only annoying since I get the random 'Hacking Attempt Detected' thing when I sometimes switch to windowed mode.
