Beta plagued with bugs?

So if anyone else has the beta you may have noticed one or more of the following: glitchy character creation screen, servers crashing, PvP suffereing from extreme lag, most quests simply being to talk to people, being able to reach maximum beta level cap without killing anything and combat controls which fail you when you need them most. These are a few of the issues that have arisen from the Beta. Granted it's just a beta and *hopefully* these things will be fixed for final release... games like Guild Wars 2 and Dota 2 never showed this amount of flaws in their early beta. What do you think this spells out for the final game?
 
I'm usually pretty forgiving of the bugs that we see in beta because there are betas and you usually get a lot of bugs and glitches that hopefully won't be in the base game. It's not necessarily a sign that the game will be a disaster like we're currently seeing with Battlefield 4, but I'd be pretty cautious with the final release.
 
You have to understand that the majority of all bug and glitch fixes come from betas. So you likely will see none or very few of the same bugs in the retail game when it launches.

True, though it is also true that TESO has displayed more problems than most games. Hopefully they'll be able to fix them before the final release!
 
I'd like to know that. I'm guessing we'll just find out during gameplay and how major those bugs that are left will be.
 
I think the majority of bugs will be cleared out for release. When it comes to MMORPGs, all of that has to be cleared up.

indeed, there are many games out there which left the bugs in after release and it didn't end up so good for them... *cough* BF4 *cough*
 
Hopefully beta will catch all the major ones. Some will skirt by, but they will be quick to respond to those. Since it's an MMORPG, you need to immediate with handling bugs. You can't sit and wait on it for a few days/a week like with offline games.

That's so EA.

...what a year they've had. I hope they get things right out of the gate for 2014 and carry that momentum. People are willing to forgive and overlook bugs if you're quick about jumping on them and if your company had done nothing else to irritate anyone. So do over for 2014, I guess.
