There is only one 'game breaking' bug I'm aware of, and its the raid guild GM's losing their genesis key bug. I've never heard of or encountered another literal game breaking bug in W* before. For reference in SWTOR, there were bugs that literally prevented progression for the first few months (e.g. mandatory class quests that were impossible to complete). Am I missing some massive bugs I haven't heard of?

Well to be honest and fair... Carbine were quoted in several articles and videos saying they were "doing WoW right this time". :D (Making a comparison to how it could be like WoW... kind of like how when people are competing at something, and someone says, "watch how it's done" while doing the same exact move/action.)

{| style="width: 100%;" On the topic of bugs, I still think one of the most iconic bugs... like the "omen" I suppose one could say... was day 1 of head-start launch, gold-spammers already showing up in droves... and the use of "report spam" closing the player straight to desktop, while nothing at all happened, no report, nothing... relaunch game, try again, dropped to desktop again while nothing again happens. Could almost say it was the prequel of what to expect... sort of "setting the tide". :lol:

Even though the (flawed) logic of those dishing out the "leave" line is hilarious at best... up until that line, the rest of the logic could also be white-knight logic FOR the game... I mean, sometimes the defense of the game seems almost more like insurance/timeshare/used-car salesperson gimmick-lines or sales pitches. Taking the cons and making them sound like pros, so in the end, there's actually no cons whatsoever and the game is flawlessly perfect (like that's even possible for any title). ^_^

I know right? Hey, kind of exactly what happened come to think of it. :D  But yeah, they're not realizing that their horrible logic they're giving everybody is dwindling the overall bottom-line of revenue, which then lends back to LESS newer content, updates, staff-salaries (to allow them more time on to fix bugs/issues), and keeping NCSoft at bay from pulling the plug. :D

Couldn't agree more. Still blows my mind that an actual response from CS/devs is, "oh well, start over and pray it doesn't happen again" (seriously!?  Play the entire game, invest everything throughout the game... gold/platinum, skill points, amp points, gear, progression, etc... just to hear, "now just go do it again"... what is this, BOOT CAMP/BASIC TRAINING!?) -- even seen some saying that CS offers to give them experience boosts that will tie into guild-rep boosts, etc. I mean seriously... what message is that giving to the gamers? "We build the game, we write the code, we supposedly fix the issues, we have full control over the game... but uhhh, we can't seem to revert your genesis key, or be able to flip the little variable flag that says it's "OK", our bad"... yet, they can fully turn off one major step of attunement because of a glitch on their end. I kind of have to feel bad for any actual stock-investors in the company that might actually play the game... might not be sending them the best overall message to stay invested. :huh: As for the transforming-to-white gear... that one is so odd. I've had it happen both ways... transform to white and just stay white altogether... sold off a couple this happened to, to vendor, just to junk it. Then there's one piece I keep in my bag... pair of pistols I bought that had lifesteal and some other cool mods on them (posted about it in another thread a bit back on the topic of item stat-resets)... that one's hilarious, think it's one of the "bug-fixes" constantly at work... sometimes I log in, I check, it's white, other times I log in, check, it's back to blue, then back to white, then back to blue... thing can't make up its mind.

What the hell are you talking about? I LITERALLY pointed to that specific bug as the only game breaking one I was aware of ... because... *gasp* IT IS GAME BREAKING. Seriously how do you get:

from this:

I guess reading is a lost art? And since it is apparently lost... I was NOT using SWTOR as a 'defense'. I was using an example of a literal game breaking bug from SWTOR... because AFAIK there is only one literal game breaking bug in W* (the GM key bug). Please, feel free to point out another literal game breaking bug (I'm not in the least bit suggesting I know every bug in the game) in W*, It could very well be that I just am not aware of some other literal game breaking bugs... But for the love of sanity don't ignore what I post and pretend I said the opposite.

I guarantee you the EQ Next forums will look just like these a month or two after launch, so better get it done while you can. ;)
