I have not encountered any bugs, that have caused the game to be unplayable, annoying bug or two yes, and the stablilty of the game is awesome, I have been through many mmo launches, some really bad ones like AOC, some pretty smooth like lotro and rift, but all of them had bugs at launch, no mmo ever launched has been bug free and perfect, and I doubt there ever will be one..
Do not dwell in the past, do not not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Game is not broken at all, but is lacking features that a modern MMO is suppose to ship with. TERA delayed their game so they could put in LFG and other rings and bells in. I heard a lot about their political system too. Might be interesting. SWTOR on the other hand hasn't done anything revolutionary. Just another generic mmo with the brand Star Wars on it and added voice overs. Voice overs alone is not gonna make this game win in the long run.

I think some people are underexaggerating when it comes to bugs and fps issues.
absolutly true

like i said there is lag but it is just not so much as to make it unplayable, sometimes my knockbacks dont fire on time is the biggest problems and it is really hard to run the ball or pass in huttball because as soon as I get the ball my fps takes a huge dive

I know people with better comps than mine who have worse issues thats why I said it seem every case is unique when it comes to the fps and performance issues

now if we are talking illum in a big battle then yes it is barely playable but you do learn to work around it and just dont let it get to you if you die because of lag

the way I see it [through my rose cloored glasses as so many like to put it, which is a stupid dated saying]

is this a problem? yes, is bioware working on it? yes, has here been improvements? yes [that I have seen on my computer]

is the game broken? no. are they ignoring the issues? no. are the working with the comunity? yes. are they addressing missing features? Yes

My philosophy on this can best be represented by George Carlin, "If you believe there is a solution, then you are probably part of the problem."

Not being able to move (stuck with no way to move or do anything)? Got that
Not being able to log in or stay connected? Got that


So what would you consider a major bug?
*this is just my opinon and the base for me agreeing that people over exaggerate the problems that are in game. and with everything there are alot of issues that are unique and situational that do not fit in to this opinon

not being able to move = not being able to play = major bug
not being able to log in or stay connected = not being able to play = major bug

not reciving credit for daily = minor
not being able to finish side quest = minor
not being able to click on random object = minor [as long as it doesnt hinder your advancing your story or character]

happens everytime with no work around = major
happens somtimes with workaround = minor
not being able to play or advance your character/story = major

there are major bugs in the game, I am not trying to say there is not. but most of what people complain about are a minor inconveinence but the try to make it sound like the game is broken. that is what I thought this thread was about and what I responded too

Ok, maybe not "unplayable" by definition... how about "broken". Sounds like issues that cause you to die, but you can just rez and re-die again and again. So technically I guess that's "playing".

Isn't it missing more graphical configuration then it has? sure.

But guys come on...can't we all just accept what we're given without complaint?

Wont sticking our heads in the sand be far better then trying to get problems addressed?

This one, in my opinion, is major, no exaggerating. Winning a warzone, not getting credit, and then having to spend another hour of my time trying to do what I already did... that's major.

Just a heads up: your reply is tecnically much more immature than the person you quoted.

yeah thats how I play pvp what of it

no seriously though someone [oh it was you sorry] doesnt believe that with my computer I dont get lag so I was just clearifying my situation in warzones. but no I dont consider it broken at all, needs improvement yes but not broken in anyway. I love pvp and love the warzones its one of my favorite parts about the game and is extreamly fun to play even with some of the performance problems.
