When was the last time a publisher claimed their game will be a buggy mess at launch?

I'm not sure how reassuring this interview is supposed to be, but the only way to know about the state of the game with certainty is to play the MMO when it comes out.
 
Famous last words...

Exhibit 1. Skyrim at launch...

Exhibit 2. Diablo 3 at launch...

When making super complex games that have multiple possible failures such as servers, account authentication, DRMs, etc. Saying there will be no bugs is like tempting fate...

Fate is a bitch

its almost impossible to make game on launch without bags, even with beta testing

Without beta testing its hard to catch all bugs, because you just lack number of peoples who would try almost all possible ways to bug something, but on beta testing, devs tend to slack there own testing and trusting gamers will find bugs, but problem is that many beta testers just cba reporting bugs, they sometime bitch why something doesn't work, but tend to not report that problem and almost always thing " someone else already have reported it" + during beta testing many tend to report some minor bull crap and flood devs with reports and make them rought time to get to serious bugs.

-Sorry about my english 🙁
 
Well the alternative is saying that their game will be bugged in some way or another. It's not as if they could say otherwise :L
At least Bethesda isn't heavily involved in the whole process. If they were, this statement would have been the biggest joke in history. Fallout 3, Fallout NV, Oblivion, Skyrim; all were buggy beyond belief.
 
Beta testing will keep The Elder Scrolls Online from being quite so buggy as Skyrim and Fallout 3.

??? every game that is on the market is beta tested and still have bugs even console games just look at game of thrones rpg for ps3.
They also go through QA testing just look at diablo 3 it had a long beta test that does not guarantee that there will be no bugs.
I hope that this game will be skill based there are just too many level based games and i get sick of cookie cutter classes that have all same skills.

You would think console games would have no bugs but game of thrones rpg ps3 i got stuck in doors, saves crashed the ps3, sound stutters and cuts out, you have trouble picking up some loot ect.

No, no no nonono. No friends. You want to play with friends, go to the park and do reenactments or whatever. Computer gaming is all about not needing other people to have fun.

Ea basically does with their day 1 patches 😛
 
TES just doesn't work as an MMO. The things we love and hold dear about the series just simply don't translate to multiplayer. In past games, one could go from broke and naked to well-armored and rich by sneaking through a few wealthy neighborhoods and stealing everything within reach. One could trade with vendors, or kill them and steal their wares. If one wanted a house, they need only pick one and kill its inhabitants. I'm pretty sure that none of this will be possible in a MMO. Instead of a game designed to allow you to become the most powerful being in the universe, you're going to be stuck in a world where the devs are constantly nerfing your potential for fear of imbalance with other players. There will be gear and items to which you will never have access, regardless of circumstance. The rich storylines of previous games that pattern you as a single hero fulfilling a storied legacy while simultaneously becoming the leader of the guilds will no longer be valid. In short, making a MMO out of TES is the very definition of selling out, and I am disgusted with the prospects - buggy or not.

What is the point of an MMO if you don't play with other players? I can play Skyrim for that.

You forget their worst bug ridden game. Daggerfall.

There shouldn't be an Elder Scrolls Online in the first place. People who loved Skyrim, Oblivion and Morrowind (and Daggerfall and Arena) aren't likely to be huge MMO fans and vice versa. Even if a whole different studio is doing Elder Scrolls Online, there's no need to dilute the franchise with cookie-cutter MMOs.
 
maybe its just me , but honestly i never saw even a quarter of the bugs , that every one claimed , were prevailent in oblivion, fallout 3, FONV ,and skyrim. In fact i can't recount any bug issue with any of those games. maybe it's just my good luck , but i have seen plenty of other games that were lauded highly that were bug ridden worse than these.

CHEERS to this !

i think they should ditch any plans or a fallout mmo and ditch the ES mmo , this is sheerly a market grab attemptby zenimax to get in on MMO's. the servers will wind up chalked full of total noobs that never played a single ES game before , and don't even RP because they don't even know what those two letters together stand for really. No thanks.

While you could have a valid point about the validity of an MMO made from that world, but the same could have been said about World of Warcraft. However, if they are going to make an MMO, it still has to be a Massive Multi-player Online game.
 
I also hear it is pure energy and will power your computer and runs flawlessly on a Voodoo3 graphics card. Come on it wouldn't be a Bugthesda game if it ran well at launch,I can say I won't buy it but I'm just gonna start referring to myself as backwards compensated beta tester #2294.
 
It couldn't be as bad as Diablo 3's launch though[citation][nom]teslarifle[/nom]I'd rather see a Fallout MMO[/citation]
Fallout 4 with co-op. Same world as single player but with a couple of friends would be, IMO, a lot better than an MMO
 
cant wait for this. in wow, they cater to pve/pvp players, but not so much role players, and i feel this game will be what role players are looking for. not gonna be perfect but better than most i would think
