Status update on Widow's bugs? Attempt #6

[brokenstyli-1993]

Continuing the discussion from Widow Bug/Issue Megathread w/ Video Examples (updated 4 May 2018):

@brokenstyli-1993

An update would be great, any time now…

Not like I haven’t been asking for weeks… or months… for just an update.

As of April 2018, misprediction and occlusion culling are still problems that exist in the game. Can we get a status update?

Misprediction (this is not the same thing as a general no-reg, this is a hitscan-issue) Shots that should have hit, end up going higher than where you aimed, due to a mixture of latency and camera-recoil. Back in Sept 2017, a developer said they were investigating a fix to be deployed with the next major patch. https://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20759006043?page=20#post-397 We are actively investigating a fix for this, which we hope to deploy with the next major patch. As of…

This is now the third time I’ve requested an update on Widowmaker’s bugfixes.

On Reddit, I asked for an itemized list, maybe in an optional video form. A community manager just said “know they’re being worked on”, and “it’d take too long to go over each issue individually”.

A few weeks later, Doomfist got an itemized update on each of his bugs. Each individual bullet point on the megathread compilation was addressed.

So… can we get that on Widow?

@brokenstyli-1993

Blizzard, plz.

Why is it so hard to communicate about spider girl?

[brokenstyli-1993]

Still waiting, still trying.

Posted onto Reddit, got no response. No surprise there.

r/Overwatch - Six months later and Blizzard has barely touched Widowmaker for...

Have you tried making a post like this in the Bug Report section of the forums? You may hopefully get some luck there!

I’ve seen numerous posts in the past regarding Junkrat, Moira, Sombra etc and a large chunk of them do get looked into! You may stand a chance of it getting noticed faster there rather than other posts drowning this one out.

Good job for staying committed though, hopefully it works out for you

I know the bug list has already been received by Blizzard, a community manager passed it along in November. What I’m seeking is a followup response where they go through each bug/issue one-by-one, which has traditionally been requested and responded to in the General Discussion forum.

[Lee-23321]

Oh! Well it’s good that it was passed along and hopefully they’re looking into it for you!

Hopefully you get some news soon too, I for one know the grappling hook issue has been around for aaaaaaages (where it flies somewhere totally different to where you aim) and its long overdue a fix/acknowledgement its being looked into
