Subject: 90% master race

So I've been keeping this secret to myself for quite a while now. But, after all this time, I feel as if you, The Community, now deserve to know the secret that I have kept private for many months. And that secret is the joy of browsing Bungie.net on 90% zoom. It really is monumentally better than 100% zoom. You'd think that a measly 10% zoom couldn't really affect the way you view and navigate the site all that much, if at all, but it does. Very much so.

Whenever I venture back into the Stone Ages of 100% zoom, all of the lettering is blocky and child-like. It's as if the entirety of the site is spelled out like a ransom note or as if it's made of a toddler's alphabet blocks. When you see things in a 90% zoom perspective, posts are easier to read, less room on the page is taken up so you can see more things at one time, you get to see more of the sexy map of Puerto Princesa, and your coolness goes up at the very least by 50 points. Why anyone would view the site in the barbaric and monotonous "view" (if it can even be called that) of 100% is incomprehensible to me.

In summary: 90% zoom is really the only way to get the most out of Bungie.net. And now you know.

Hell naw. I'm on a 27 inch monitor with 2560x1440 resolution. If it were any smaller I'd be using a magnifying glass to read posts.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I feel like I need glasses on 90 percent.

I'll try it out a bit longer.

That's probably simillar to why my eyes hurt when I turn on the lights when I wake up. The reasonable conclusion is to never turn my lights on again and adapt my life around perpetual darkness.

You're all delusional. It's probably the 100%-zoom-lifestyle you're living that's clouding your mind.

I find it hard to read at 90%, but my screen might just be really small compared to yours.

When I zoom in too far on my phone the format gets kinda funky, I may use your 90%.

Zoom out?
As if Bungie.net doesn't have enough empty space on a widescreen monitor anyway.
Zooming in seems like a better option.

Warning: You may find that my, or someone else's opinion does not comply with yours. Side effects of disagreement may include (but are not limited to): flaming, irrational behavior, broken keyboards, and/or nervous sweats. If you experience any of these symptoms refrain from communicating with others until the symptoms have subsided.

Although much of this issue resides with the individual, it really depends on screen size and format; I've been on a monitor that made the text seem large and childlike, but this monitor is perfectly fine with 100%.

The hunt is more difficult at night, Hyleblas. Quickly, fetch the women and have them ready the knives and pots for stew. I? I share go out and see what nature's bounty has to offer. Be sure to carve my exploits into the stone walls when I return.

Zooming out isn't exactly possible on an iPad, and 100% works just fine on my laptop.

No, thank you.

OT: While I agree that the 90% takes some getting used to, it is definitely superior. Plus, you get some free brail courtesy of Acky above the tabs at the top of the page! Score!

You imply a level of control over Halo: Reach matchmaking that we no longer have. Or, in your vernacular, it isn't our shiznit anymore.

This. My resolution is so large that zooming out would make the text harder to read.

Being notable for something bad or annoying isn't a good thing. Just like how being known as the kid that picks his butt and sniffs it is not popular either. Just saying, since I'm a helpful person.

Well it's a 10% difference only. I only know that on my screen 90% makes it way too difficult to read the text.

"I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle- victorious"

I might actually consider this suggestion. But now that I think about it, I don't see the point. 99% of my Bnet time is spent on my iPad/iPhone. That minute 1% is taken up by my laptop. If I changed it on my laptop, I wouldn't notice the difference.
