Every game released these days has bugs it is just the way of the world that many new releases need to be patched on launch and continued to be patched as time goes on.

Please also note that i bought the collectors edition of this game so my view on this matter is more important than the OP's because i spent more money.

They say they have a fix for the cover abilities canceling bug in the next update, which will probably be this Tuesday.

Anyone who expects an MMO to launch without some annoying bugs is simply deluding themselves.

It's nigh impossible to do that. No company to date has accomplished and no company ever will. It's the state of the MMO. At least with MMOs they can and usually will fix the bugs they can because you're paying a monthly fee.

Can't always say the same about broken Single Player games.
Remember kids, punctuation is the only thing that separates "Let's eat, Grandma!" from "Let's eat Grandma!"

I think almost no one must remember what WoW was like when it first came out.

For the first 2 months, the game was practically -unplayable-. The game consistantly lagged for 10-15minutes at a time. Everyone must have forgotten the loot lag that plagued the game at the start. There was restarts and downtime almost every night. There was upto 4 days of consistant downtime, where the game was bought down for patching, with practically nothing coming from the devs explaining it. These are just a couple of the really major problems that WoW had.

This game isn't perfect, there's definitely bugs, but it's no where near as bad as WoW was when it was released.

Take off the rose-coloured glasses people have for other MMOs. They all have problems when they start.

and that was 2004 this is 2012 now.

Back when honda accord first came out there were no powersteering, or automatic transmission. Give it time BMW will eventually install powersteering into their cars and put automatic transmission. In the meantime, keep giving them money monthly and hope that everything will be ok.

Though I will give the OP 2/10 for comparing a trillion lines of code in binary to physics and engineering. That's the most ludicrous analogy I've heard in a long time.

Almost as ludicrous as comparing the life cycle of MMOs to WW2 AMIRITE?!?!

Very few games these days come out bug free, i dont know why people hold SW:TOR to a different standard than other games.
Secondly, the reason Bioware isnt responding (well they are, but maby just not to you and your specific problem) might have something to do with the fact that its in the middle of the busiest holiday season of the year. These guys have holidays just like we do, and yet you demand that they are to fix every bug within days of the games release in the middle of the holidays?


so far ive seen stellar work from bioware, theyve patched things in a quick procession instead of waiting with the fixes until major patches. The issues that are in the game are known to them and they are working on them, but people expect way too much from them, they cant fix every issue in a heartbeat.

and before you start about the whole "they should have fixed it before release" bull, they would never have released if that was the case, we all know that games these days are riddled with bugs on release (yes, im old enough to remember when patches were something rare and frowned upon).
