OK come on now you guys. I realize it may sound like hyperbole what the OP indicates he has experienced, and may in part be due to frustration over these issues, but I don't think there can be any question that they DO come up.

No quest bugs? Man, you have been lucky. Just read the past patch notes, they have fixed literally dozens of them. Never got stuck waiting for Telingar (spelling) to progress the quest in Reaper's March? I sure did.

The issue with abilities stopping working in the middle of combat for one, has happened to MANY people, myself included, and with almost unacceptable frequency. One need only do a quick search here to see how many threads have been created on this issue over the past 4 months.

The issue with enemy telegraphs not appearing and taking huge chunks of "magical mystery damage" also happens way too often, and I myself have experienced this so many times today fighting humanoid bandit mobs in the 2nd zone of DC that I finally just logged out in disgust.

So too have I experienced the problem with staff, where light attack fireballs simply do not appear, and the thing you attacked only takes the damage after a 1-3 second delay. Also, the problem with ability lag, where staff abilities specifically will get "stuck" making your character do some overly exaggerated full heavy attack animation with no spell effect at the end, preventing any other abilities from firing, has been happening to me for the past three days since I started leveling light armor and staff on my NB.

In fact, my level of frustration with the lag and bugs in staff combat has me so frustrated I haven't been able to bring myself to log back in today. I've been watching old episodes of Stargate SG1 all morning trying to decide if I want to bother even continuing to level staff at all, since it was really only in response to the under-performance of stamina based builds (DW/Bow) which seemed to have dashed any hopes my lowly v3 NB had of ever being included in a respectable trial group.

Do these issues happen as frequently as the OP indicates? Who can say? Do they happen far too frequently for a AAA MMO title? Absolutely. That is why I say I can understand his frustration and agree they really can't delay in getting these things patched.

Ironically, I experienced NONE of these lag and telegraph/graphical glitches playing with daggers and bow. The only issue I experienced with that (my preferred) build was the problem when using dual wield abilities where my character would be stuck unable to attack at all until I hit Esc twice.

That particular issue has been reported since release and there has still been no fix or even an acknowledgement as far as I can see.

Don't get me wrong, I love the game. Which is why having things break down like this becomes all the more frustrating.

In my case at least, it isn't lacking system specs and it isn't my net connection. I have a 5mb cable connection with 8-12ms pings to the server. Something definitely gets squirrely with specifically humanoid mobs, and is particularly effecting staff attacks.
