DUST Search - Why is it that CCP needs a freaking video to acknowledge that there's someth...

You people clearly don't understand their point of view then. NO SH&T A VIDEO IS GOING TO GET A BETTER RESPONSE. You can write and write about problems all you want, at the end of the day its hard to literate a problem in the game. Especially one as complicated as HMG's not doing damage unless the reticule is red. "THATS NOT HARD TO UNDERSTAND" you say? Sure its not hard to understand what your writing, its a problem when CCP trys to REPLICATE the issue.

REPLICATE. If they cant REPLICATE it, then it becomes incredibly hard for them to fix.

Video is an outstanding way to show CCP how exactly a glitch works. It provides a step by step basis on how to replicate a bug or glitch. Once they can replicate it, they can then isolate the bug, figure out why it happens. and THEN fix the problem.

Its not a communication thing dude. Just because CCP doesn't blue tag every single god damn thread doesn't mean they don't look and read what people are writing. Why should they post on a thread that's brought up the same issue for the twelfth time? It would just be tedious and a waste of time.

My point is, yes, CCP has said time and time again that video is a good way to get things fixed. If you provide video evidence it provides a very sturdy platform for CCP to work off of. Otherwise, all you write on the forum is nothing more then opinion. The only difference is that some people's opinions sound more constructive and intelligent then others.

In the case of HMG aiming bug, they were given detailed description of what and when it's happening months before video was posted. And they surely can test and replicate something more easily than us players. I don't think that every post in the feedback/requests (or general discussions) should receive a blue tag or CCP isn't communicating with it's playerbase. But it seems that they either don't pay attention to some requests, or discard them as "not important" unless people aren't screaming about it left and right. Since heavies aren't really the most used class in this game, it's no wonder there wasn't much noise being made about the bug. Anyway, I'm suspecting they knew about the bug all along, but decided to be silent about it and hope noone notices. This probably isn't even a bug in a classic sense. More likely they decided to "borrow" the aiming mechanics from other weapons, modify it a bit to make it look like it has a spread, and just go with that. This is probably the reason why they ignored all the previous threads on the topic, until someone made a video for all to see.

I think that the 9/11 conspiracy is, although not impossible, very unlikely to be true. However, the possibility that CCP used a "shortcut" for the HMG aiming mechanics due to time/budgetary/personnel/whatever constraints doesn't exactly fall in the same category as the 9/11 conspiracy. Pulvereus ergo queritor.
