I would not mind at all shooing some Benjamin's under a table to one of the custom client guys for UI scaling. If that's something they can do or not is a different story I guess.

Some people love working on the UI, but from my limited experience, most programmers don't. It's like asking them to draw a still life in art class: eyes roll and what passes for human noise is heard. They'd rather be hacking away at "real problems."
Opinions expressed in this statement are the authors alone and in no way reflect on the game development values of the actual developers.

I spoke with Ardenne's about it, he told me alot of stuff is handled server side with fixed coordinates and sizes, so it would be impossible to properly implement scaling and resizing in most cases.

Loftar is probably still using some large, old, 4:3 monitor, probably not even HD one. Devs would not have anything to test it on.

He clearly does not know what he is talking about.
We can assume that the screen is 1920*1080 pixels and then just scale everything in UI and get satiable results. Simple as that. Some small textures being rescaled to larger ones might be an issue if you have a large screen, but that has nothing to do with fixed coordinates and sizes or server.

Pay money to have strangers work on Haven? You are tripping.

no breaks, no sleep til the client rewrite is finished and i can get the full resolution laser beamed in to my eyeballs.

Then pay someone you know. Or do it yourself. Dosn't matter, just get it done.

The client is the thing your customers interact with, in case its usability turns to shit through improvements in technology... you should act. Quickly.

Look at people who post forums, all are quite old accounts. Time of games like HnH is over, and only ones playing it are people looking for nostalgia or something.
Modern gamers want fast action games likes fortnight and counter strike.
