There is lot of people complaining about HG, I found it original and fun. The Characters arent the usuall warrior(tank), DD, wizard etc... the background is great, the fun killing, nothing about this point and click boring issue, really nice get surrounded by lot of demonds and fight them in First Person. Also, Im playing with an evoker, perhaps, a bit "weak" at the beggining but is getting funny very quickly, original kind of "wizard" that uses weapons like "demon hands" to focus his magic, this gloves can shoot magical energy and got eyes, or mouth on them depending on customization/upgrade... yes, is really nice...
All this is great for a game with a multiplayer that dont needs a fee, for a game that got new things and makes you feel like you are in a FPS/RPG, for a game with lot of stuff, "easy" to get and customize... yes, for people bored from the "classic" games is great but...
This game isnt finished!!! yes! I love it, great Idea, lot of new things and all what I said, but, it got lot of problemas that I already detected in beta, Great background, great history, great characters but... I got stucked lot of times! jumping here? damn Im stucked and... no /stuck??! wtf! seems like they need 1 or 2 month to fix lot of things, to improve classes, to invest some time in visual effects, in the world, the team system, the chat system (the worst I ever seen). So... perhaps it can be a GREAT game, one of the most originals and funny right now, BUT, seriously. Dont you think it need SOME patches?

For the most part, I like the game the way it is. Not as buggy as some would make it out to be, all though I agree with the OP on the part about the chat box...worst I've ever seen.
The rest of it is pretty smooth though.

Well,releasing unfinished unpolished games is the new industry standar(specifically regarding online gaming and mmorpg).
In the last 3 years no single mmorpg has been released in a state that could properly fit the definition of non-beta product(some closer to alpha than beta like Dark & Light and some closer to release version than beta like Dungeon & Dragons Online).
You know why? Because we buy this unfinished games.Because we dont get angry anymore about this.Because we,mmo players,want the "most-hyped" games NOW(not the next month nor the next one...)
You can blame the industry(they are not saints) but you better blame yourself,and me and every single gamer out there....
Regarding HG:L im having a LOT of fun playing it(not sub) and none of the bugs ive exprimented are game-breaker bugs(not me at least).Seeing how the market is at the moment I would say that its quality could be defined as : Industry standar = bugged.
I didn't see any bugs at all until i reached around level 12 but since then I've seen something every time I log in. Luckily nothing completelely game breaking so far. I get a network error message every time I launch the mulutiplayer game now but clicking "ok" bypasses it, It took me 4 attempts to do the Millennium Battle quest as the game crashed the first three times and yes I've been stuck several times.
I can confirm that /stuck worked for me yesterday. I didn't know whether the command existed in this game but tried it as a last resort when unlike the previous times, there were no helpful enemies around to kill me. /stuck didn't work instantly. There was a pause of some seconds before I suddenly respawned at the start of the map. Maybe the OP didn't wait long enough before assuming the command didn't work?
Overall, I'm happy that I bought the game. Yes, the maps are repetitive but I still find it very addictive. The EU server seems to have been closing for maintenance every day this week so hopefully the bugs are gradually being patched out.
Yes there is a cast-sequence for /stuck, takes about 4/5 seconds.
Do you know where the stuck was implemented? cause I wait... long enough after the /stuck (cant do other thing I was stucked
)
In the other way, I think is interesting the post that talks about the industry and the realeases.
Is ok that you release a game and found some bugs, some things that are polite, ok, I can have fun with this game and this bugs, there is no problem about this, they are EVERYWHERE. When I was on Gw, for ex, after the first year there still been there bugs, in a game that competition was so important (yes Im talking in past for me) this is... "hot thing". But, this can be undetected bugs, or new things, can be, strange or casual things, in HG, I found the same problems in beta that now, the game tooks lots of memory, seems that is not optimized as it must, when I want to rejoin I must go out of the game, not of the map, not changing the toon, cause when I hit "multiplayer" it cant connect until the process of HG was previously killed...
This problems where in beta, and if I remember they were reported. Also, found lot of people that says the game have some other optimization problems (and some peep that have the same problems that me) so is a fact that the game needs "something" to work FINE, but, would they do something about this if they didnt do already? I mean, if this problems already where in beta, and where something they know, why they still ?
As I said, I love the game, I enjoy it cause is something "new" for a rpg, but all this thinks make people to loose faith on this, and with it, less population and less multiplaying, more people getting tired of this and... usually, this bring good games to the death.
I got stuck again and again...
/stuck
and wait...
and wait
still waiting...
Good day today, perhaps...
Perhaps I must restart the game?
Or perhaps I ... must wait a bit..?
Mates, still not working for me: I went to the cat and put /stuck and ... (as I said) I wait... but nothing!!! also, I appear in the ignore/ban list of a friend and he cant talk with me, put out of it... anny suggestion about? also, there is no good to get a game with this problems
There wasnt a /stuck command in beta. They added it shortly after release.
And lets see the game has been out for 10 days and has had 3 updates. Most of the big bugs were squashed. Most games MMO or not have bugs even ones that have been out for years.
Hellgate london is a single player and multiplayer game and has relatively few game breaking bugs compared to some games that have been out alot longer.
But Im still getting stucked and the command dont works for me. Also, I hve some problems in multiplayer, sometimes my teammates sees me but I cant see them, and, same in the other way... The game got bugs, is a fact... but as you said "Most games MMO or not have bugs even ones that have been out for years."
