I was not saying that you were selfish because you want major issues fixed first and I was going more at the other people as well with that post seeing that they are really just saying if you have cant pay for a new tv or you have a plasma tv you are not as important so I should of made that more obvious. you would buy a new tv insantly and not want the developers to change something that would be very simple. after you spent damn near 2.000$ or more on a tv and just want them to do what any other game company does to stop or delay burns and the fact to that like before I said that even my lcd has been burned and it is new enough to the point where that should not happen and I'm sure the other people who had this problem with lcds had a new enough tv to the point where it should'nt happen we all paid the same money all I'm asking is people dont act so rude towards people who have a this issue with their game and are treated poorly because it's a small group and most have a plasma tv.
Perhaps the title of this thread should read "would you like to see this in a future update" as opposed to the "next update"? Admittedly this issue is something that's not going to affect everyone, and I understand if it's not a top priority, but all we're asking for is that something be done about at some point in the future.
I wouldn't have done the same, admittingly. I would have gotten a new TV that can play games with no issues.
Really? So if you just dropped 2 grand on a brand new TV, and it's been great for everything you've used it for (movies, games, streaming content, whatever)...and suddenly you encounter an issue with a $20 game, and you're going to turn around and ditch it and drop another 2 grand on a brand new TV? Maybe that's your reality, but I think for most people, that's just not a realistic option.
Just because one doesn't have a plasma doesn't necessarily mean they're safe. I know people with LCDs who've experienced burn-in as well (it happened to me with my previous TV, actually). I think this problem potentially affects a lot more people than some here may realize.
I do have a new TV, it isn't a plasma, & plus it's a good make/model too. I have still encountered the problem, as have lots of other people on here. This is a specific topic created for people with this very same problem.
I have hardly encountered any bugs/glitches, but you will not find me in the bug section (pinned near the top) trying to prioritise my problems over others. You're welcome to your opinion, I just don't feel anyone asked for it, nor was it related to the OP's topic.
I think it's pretty clear that Forsythia was asking for it in his/her last post, and considering the topic is about a poll with "yes" and "no" as choices I'd say it was related. Or are only those in favor allowed to say what's on their mind? Must of missed that part in the OP.
Anyways, I hope all you players that are affected can find or get a solution eventually. Good luck.

Yes, I would, seeing as there would probably be more games in the future that would cause burning as well. And why is everyone talking about 2 grand tvs? You can get a cheap HDTV for a few hundred bucks. I'd say that's a realistic option for the average gamer, no?
Anyways, I've given my input in this topic. Cheers.
Although, for the people that it has happened to, it would be nice to have this option.
Maybe as well being able to change the color? id love to have a blue hud. Better then the blinding white.
Seriously, when i play in the dark it burns my eyes.
If you dont want people to click no, don't put it on the poll. DUH!!!!
My thoughts exactly.
Take away the no option if you feel like running a dictatorship in this topic, but don't tell us our opinion isn't related when it's on the damn poll lol.

You all do know you can change the display settings on both MCX360 and your tv's to reduce picture brightness and intensity getting rid of the image burning problem all together right? Guess not... I voted no.
To be fair having static images shift or animate slightly would solve this issue. There is no benefit for a developer to cause such issue on the community even if it affects a minority. While the SDTV split-screen issue is unfortunate it is a more technical issue than simply avoiding a static image.
I had a led tv, and dont have the problem but !!! the user´s manual of the tv, says if is posible to burn in some cases, like a static photo or something.. the bar from minecraft ? i dont know, but im a little scared about this, i buy the tv a month´s ago

No s#!t, pal. And no, that doesn't eliminate the problem. Go click some more "no's."
My dad played Risk on XBL for a very long time, the colors were so bright the same thing happened to one of our tv's. Eventually, it will go away. For us it did, in everyone else's situation Im not sure, but I thought I should add my story. Maybe the brightness option would help? But then again you would have to play on a darker screen. And about the t.v. type, ours was a LCD tv, not plasma.
I think it's pretty clear that those questions were rhetorical. Your first post was that they shouldn't add a feature that is clearly needed. You obviously think you're above everyone else to say what does & does not need fixing, depending on how it affects you of course.
If the problem doesn't affect you, then just click 'no' & keep your mouth shut.
Do you see any of us going on the bug topic & posting about bugs/glitches that don't affect us, & that it shouldn't be fixed (even though it'd improve some people's experience of the game)?
Have fun contradicting yourself, I'm tired of reading it.
The OP wanted everyone's input, so I gave mine. If he only wanted to hear from those in favor and/or those that have experienced it, there wouldn't be a "no" option. Just because I haven't experienced it doesn't mean I can't give my two cents. I also don't recall contradicting myself. I must have either made a mistake somewhere or you're twisting my words. I think it should be fixed, but don't think it should be made a priority and/or fixed before the games many other issues are. Don't remember ever stating otherwise. And if you're tired of reading it, why continue to respond? It's obvious you're not changing my stance on the subject. =/
And speaking of thinking I'm above everyone else, what gives you the right to say people who aren't affected should keep their mouth shut, oh internet god? I see mention of this nowhere in the OP, and as far as I know you did not make this topic.
First of all, while this does affect a small number of users, I think this issue takes priority. While some issues might break the game, this particular issue could permanently damage something a person owns in the real world. I think that's pretty important.
Second, the "buy a new TV, plasma isn't for gaming" argument is silly. I haven't seen screen burn this bad on any other game for two reasons. 1) Most games change screens pretty often which refreshes the pixels. 2) Minecraft is a game where you can go into a cave for something quick and come out two hours later...that means it's a game which just begs for multi-hour gaming marathons. If you're on this forum, you know what I mean.
The suggestions for how to prevent the issue are useful to an extent, but personally, I use the screen wipe option on my Samsung 58" Plasma for at least 5 minutes every hour, I run with the brightness at 30/100 and the cell light at 5/20. This makes caves and night time EXTREMELY dark, and yet the image retention from the HUD is still a serious issue. I played a little too long and I have a very serious burn in my TV right now. I know it will fade over time, either days or months, (I had left Gears 3 paused for a couple hours when I first got the TV and the HUD burned in, it eventually went away.), but I don't want to wait days or months.
It's a little odd to me how polarized and fired up people are on the OTHER side of this issue. Yes, there are other bugs in the game that need to be addressed, but I can't imagine it is *that* difficult to put in an opacity slider for the HUD. Lots of games have them these days for this very reason. As other posters have mentioned, plasmas are not the only TVs that can have this problem. LCDs can burn, and for people that are still using CRTs, so can those. It's easy to scoff and say, "OMG GET A GAMING TV", but most people I know don't have that kind of money just lying around. I saved and researched for 6 months before landing on my purchase, and this wasn't even the first TV I bought, I returned the first one. (Dynex LCD. It was cheaper but the video latency was AWFUL.)
I really like this game, I've had a TON of fun in the few days I've had it, and even had six friends on one world yesterday and we were all there for hours, it was awesome! I don't want to stop playing because I'm concerned about my TV. I think that's all anyone else is worried about too. Does this topic really need this much venom?

Stay classy interwebs.

yup X3 i do that, every hour i change the music folder XD i dont know if burn can happen on my tv, but .. i prefer prevent that X3 ..
Geez, someone seems bitter.
Just an annoyed response to a retarded suggestion.
