my point was that there is a limit to what you as a player can replicate.

and CCP ruitinly asks things of players that they cannot do, like int he example of OP where they ask him to replicate things using tools the QA team NOT the players have access too...

isolating things isnt something a player can do for the most part on a live server with payer interfearance, its soething that is done in a controlled environment where you can carefully eliminate variables without other players wandering around muching up the tests or introducing more variables as your trying to narrow them down.

while my title may of been a little harsh the point is that CCP is asking things of the players that the players cant reasonably acomplish as a replacement for adaquate Q/A

Hahahahaha all the people defending Ccp with "Hey op, ccp is too dumb and poor to fix dust, don't pick on them!"

how about bugs that have exsisted for a year :P

like the way the railgun randomly overheats without shooting

or the way railguns slugs phase through objects

or the way railguns shoot and you get heat but no projectile or damage is produced.


those bugs are all over a year old now and CCPs stance is "if you dont have video it doesnt exsist"

ive made more threads reguarding these issues alone that i just cant be bothered to go through the same song and dance where its not real if you dont have video.

basically TLDR:

if we as players dont know how to replicate it CCP cant replicate it and it will never get fixed.

proof?: year old railgun bugs that we cant replicate and therefore are still in the game since open beta

if WE the players cant replicate something then it wont get fixed....

aka WE are CCPs QA, they simply take what WE can replicate it, verify it, then fix it, but issues that we are unable to replicate on command dont seem to even get investigated CCP side of things.

CCP needs specialised peopel that are dedicated to replicating persistant year long bugs rather then forcing players to do the work for free if they ever want to see it fixed.

its been a damn year, persistant through EVERY build of the game outside of the originals on the other game engine.

as much information as possable has been handed over multiple times from multiple sources but since we the players dont have replication instructions for 100% on command replication of the bug/s it wont ever be fixed.

do you not see a problem with that?

yah except those testers have tools WE dont have.

like sterile test environments where they can eliminate variables
logs
access to the games code

if WE cannot replicate it that means that it basically REQUIRES those tools in order to find out its origin.

so the bug will go on forever untill they actually use those tools.


the problem is they arnt even bothering

please refer to the points where i say "logs" and "access to the games code" for the solution to that problem

im sure as well that they have many other tools at their desposal that we dont.

if one of their tools fail that doesnt mean all of them do.
