so they toss it in to the pile of "things to be fixed if everything else is taken care of". software development is full of those things. they get worked on as there is time, or people to do it. not as much that they dont care, they just have bigger things that need caring about than a minor graphics glitch. dont take it personally.

"Bug reports that are actually features that are working as intended will be moved."
Is what gets put in the "Working as Intended" thread.
There is a "Confirmed/Planning to Address" where it could've been put in, as it doesn't specify when it might get adressed. Perhaps even that it's confirmed at all.

And sure, it's not gamebreaking, but it's a weapon (well, transmog/skin) that was included in the Collector Edition, which means a bunch of irl money involved, so having something like that "break" and say it's a feature and working as intended, feels a little "oof" imo.

I dunno how they decide where a post will go.
But if it wasn't enough explanation so they didn't know what it was about, there's a "Insufficient Information" thread I'm sure they could've put it in instead.
"Bug reports that do not follow the report template or are lacking the required information will be moved here."

Shouldn't this go in the Bug Report section then?

I did, mentioned that in the original post.
But they then put it in the "Working as Intended" sub-bug thread.
As in, according to that thread it's a "Bug reports that are actually features that are working as intended"

You didn't provide the standard template. When I try it on, I don't see the problem, so maybe it's a lighting issue.

As a result of investigating and testing, reports determined to be bugs will be moved to the Confirmed/Planning to Address forum and those determined to be a normal feature of the game will be moved to the Working as Intended forum.

Not a lighting problem, as one can see that the position of the blade has shifted.

But you say you don't see the problem?
Could you provide a screenie perhaps?

If you look at the pictures he posted further down, you can more easily compare the two. In the second, the blade is a lot lower than how it used to be. Look at the etchings on the blade.

These are completely hidden in the original picture.

I tried it on as a female highlander Hyur, and got the hole. I pulled it out of my armoir, dropped it into Gpose, and put on max lighting.

The hole is like a giant splotch of vantablack. That's not a lighting issue, it's definitely a model issue.

But if I had to make a guess, it was a deliberate change, because they reused the model rigging for a different scythe where that shadow makes sense, without realizing it would impact this one this badly.

I had it drawn. If I sheath then I can see the problem on both sides. But using the full template and uncropped pictures that don't hide the UI might still help. They could dismiss it as an effect of gpose otherwise.

It's not that they are unwilling to treat these sort of issues as a bug because there are similar issues that are accepted for investigation.

Also it only seems to be when it's sheathed parts are misaligned.
When wielded everything seems to line up as it should.
At least I can't seem to find anything when comparing with older pictures.
