SInce ppl think this is a made up issue.... These problems are caused by a technical issue with one of our support systems. Our system admins are on it and we'll hopefully see a solution soon. A server restart may be needed. Should I get an update on our progress, I'll get back to you in this thread.
Ok so they hotfixed something this morning and there was a problem with their support systems that they are looking into and more than likely will be fixed today and all of the data loss fixed/reversed and your preaching doom over this? I would say they were pretty efficient identifying the problem on the day it happened and working on a fix.
Most likely all data will hopefully be fixed yes. But it is STILL gamebreaking cause there are ppl at this point in time that CAN NOT play the game. There is no info up on official sites about this EXACTLY because it is a huge issue that diretly shows that there are HUGE issues with this.
I think the issue in this thread is with the way you posted this. Yeah Mythic might have a bad patch and it might be causing some big problems that make the game unplayable. I'm sure they will either roll it back or fix it in short order.
The issue is your post is like there are gamebreaking bugs in the game in general and mythic is a screw up and that game is no longer worth playing. Something like that. You should have just said something like Warning the latest hotfix introduced some major bugs. Avoid logging in till Mythic fixes the problem.
I would have to agree that the OP acted like a drama queen with the title of this thread however, I don't understand peoples actions. So many are saying "what is the big deal?" I do not think you would preaching this if your characters were deleted. In the end, the problem will most likely be fixed but at what cost? This patch just gives people more reasons not to renew their subscription.
Seriously, if small hiccups impacted games on the level that you're saying, WoW would be nonexistent today. Yea, these bugs can be disheartening, but at the same time they'll more than likely be fixed in the VERY short term. Mythic isnt stupid (as apparent by the recent updates they've made to the game). They know when changes they make could adversely affect their sub numbers and if you think they're just going to sit around and let that happen, you're nuts. And if a player quits over something that'll likely be solved in 24 hours, well to be honest i dont have much nice to say about that, so yea.
Damn I cant seem to get it.. MAybe becasue every game I have played had bugs for a little while after release..
Hell, after release. I seen bugs in games that been out for 3 to 4+ years lol. Cough Cough Wow Cough Cough. To the OP But thats why they have patchs. And WAR seems to be on top of them, if they get reported. So stop whining and report them so they can fix them.
According to the OP, World of WarCraft is a failure because pretty much all servers were having hourly down-time, on a daily basis, for the first few months of its launch (which repeated itself in the EU release 3 months later). In addition customer support was virtually non-existent. I'm sure Blizzard would check in on this thread and laugh at the OP, but to be honest I think they're a bit too busy polishing their Ferraris. Well, to be honest, according to the OP, pretty much all MMOs are failures since WAR is pretty much one of the, if not the, least troublesome in this regard. Most likely the OP is someone new to the MMO scene, likely joined World of WarCraft a year or more after release, and believes the game didn't have a horrible and buggy launch, and that MMOs ever launch in a perfect state. Or he's simply bitter that his personal favourite MMO is crap, and feels a need to project its failure onto new MMOs coming out. In essence - nerd rage.
Since I have not metnioned WOW in any post here until I reply here - it kinda makes your "facts" as a fanboy worth nothing.
NOW go post your hate posts on WOW forums and stop flaming. - Its increadiable how some ppl are allowed to talk here without beeing banned.
seriously though OP. is this your first mmo? it sounds like you have no experience with the market if you can get so up in arms about something soooo common.

I haven't really found any "game breaking" bugs in the game. Some are more annoying than others. What I find really bothersome though is some of the things they state in patch notes that they have fixed are actually not fixed at all.
The chat box still resets after you log out, even if you lock it in place. Not game breaking but really annoying, they also stated this was fixed.
Mobs are still warping all over the place, especially when they flee for their lives. This was supposedly fixed and is not, and now I'm getting the "Your target is not in rage" message in pvp when I'm standing right next to someone, only to see them 2 seconds later warp 30 feet from me. This needs to be corrected soon.
The hide cloak and show heraldy functions do not work as intended. If I hide my cloak it reappears the minute I enter a scenario or zone. You then have to recheck the display function and uncheck it again to take the cloak off. Not game breaking but I've reported this for several weeks.
Overrall I think the evidence would indicate that Mythic is actually working on these issues and is trying to make corrections. I'm much more likely to stick it out while they work on them because they are actually doing the work. Unlike other gaming companies who say they are aware of the issue and a fix is intended only to see it be 6 months and nothing is corrected. I'm trying to stay patient. lol
For a new release, WAR has been very tame. I've only crashed once in the entire time I've played it. I can't really complain. I haven't found any bugs that were as serious as the OP claims. Sorry to those who have lost their characters, but I'm sure it's temporary. The guild issue sounds like one I've come across in VG and the solution was to relog.
Back in EvE. Started with BatMUD. Main MMOs have been EvE and DAoC.

No, I think it's more of the type of reaction you can expect when you word a topic with a severe lack of perspective for the overall situation as it relates to the genre of MMO gaming throughout its entire history. Having a patch/update cause bugs of this nature is nothing/zip/zilch/nada new to games like these and that fact has been so for a very long time. Now, your idea of a very long time may be 6 months or less but I'm talking about in the very least with an MMO called Ultima Online. I'll leave it to you to navigate to the games list on this site to see what year that game launched and how many years have passed since then. Then maybe you can see why (perspective) these cries of "GAMEBREAKING" have been met as they have.
There will be times to cry wolf but this instance certainly isn't one of them. Now if Mythic doesn't attempt to fix them, then it would be appropriate to unleash the hounds.
"Many nights, my friend... Many nights I've put a blade to your throat while you were sleeping. Glad I never killed you, Steve. You're alright..."
im on the azazel server and this same thing happens to us its annoying when 70percent of this game is RVR ......i love this game and all but if you cant fix that then damn
The thing that may kill this game is the fact that order can't control T4 zones even when they control all BO and keeps yet desto can come in take a few BO and flip the zone in 30 min. If they don't fix it before the majority of players hit T4 it could cause alot of problems for the game in the long run.
Few huge issues now happening with game. - WHole guilds "dissapear". Players are no longer in the guilds.
- Players that travel with the flight service ends out in nowhere and have to "Ctrl-del" out of the game.
- Some characters ingame have dissapeared from Mythic databases. Meaning yes... they no longer existing...
- Players can not join scenarios. Great job Mythic.
Gamebreaking? Is this guy for real? You gotta learn what gamebreaking means man. These are small issues that will get fixed. There constantly working on this game, so get over it.
Bugs I have seen myself at most that could be groundbreaking are mobs running away and getting full health. But that was fixed like other bugs will be, like these.

We all know that your country is taking an economical nose dive and we feel sorry for it. You don't have to take your distress and panic here to these forums.
Althought your countrys currency "disappeared" and banks went bankruptcy we feel for you and understand.
WAR however is doing fine. You might want to take a good dip in geysir for the pain to go away...
All games have bugs ive seen a few...i had a lvl 8 char disapear but that was towards the end of the closed beta so no big deal...had about 5 or 6 disconnects from server when i have to alt-tab out and kill the task then wait ten mins to log back in but tbh thats not bad for a game lauch so id say it was a lot less buggy than vg on release...

I agree you should be banned. Your a spaz.

im on the azazel server and this same thing happens to us its annoying when 70percent of this game is RVR ......i love this game and all but if you cant fix that then damn
why must you QQ so much ...
Gamebreaking? Funny cause I can still run it.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. drama queen.
Great job OP.
The thing that may kill this game is the fact that order can't control T4 zones even when they control all BO and keeps yet desto can come in take a few BO and flip the zone in 30 min. If they don't fix it before the majority of players hit T4 it could cause alot of problems for the game in the long run.

There are game breaking bugs. But the OP failed to list the right ones.
