"Working as intended"?

Mm.. I've had that thought as well.
Shame if it would be that case tho, as it really messed up the Death Scythe's sheathed visuals.
Which it will often be.

I looked through my folder and don't really have any with a clear shot where the hud isn't invisible.
Not like I thought anything like this could occur anyways.

I guess I could try later with a full template.
But seeing how in the information page they say "Reports that do not follow the template will be moved to the Insufficient Information category." yet still it was put in the "Working as Intended" feels like it's already decided.
And there are posts not following the template that are in the "Confirmed/Planning to Address" regardless.

It's not the devs. It's the community team who moved the thread.

When you are dealing with people who "have different skills" to normal support staff, you need to make the ticket incredibly simple so they understand.

Sure, it isnt gamebreaking but come on.... they dont even have the balls to say that this is too small of an issue for them to be bothered with and that they need their resources spend elsewhere (hah!).

A drop in quality is expected nowadays. Not surprised to see this as "working as intended".

As I was looking to get a comparison screenshot from a cutscene I noticed it's not just the shifting of the blade.

I know this might've not been the best, seeing how everything has a brown tint.
But this was sorta the only one I knew where the cutscene was from.
But opening the pictures on a new tab makes it clearer.

That's rich given their justification for Viera hairstyles.

But honestly I think "Working as Intended" is like... "Yeah, we know it's clipping, and that's a sacrifice we're willing to make. It looks bad, it's probably not natural, but c'est la vie, we got better crap to worry about than a couple polygons".

I feel like the people tasked with reviewing bug reports might not be really versed in "how the game should work". It seems like a lot of things get rejected unless you're really clear about what it should be doing versus what it is actually doing, unless it's really jarring.

Then that isn't the job for those people to have.

I did as others had stated and made a new report using the propper template and more information and that one's in the "Accepted Bugs" now.
I guess that I thought a simple comparison picture and pointing out the errors would've been enough.
So it was my wrong to think so.
Anyway, now it's just a waiting game to see what'll happen next.

There is a language barrier and it might be challenging for the developers to look at it directly without it going through the English teams, who might just check it meets these basic requirements for graphics glitches or that it is clear to them how the bug is reproduced.
