If you give people a source to verify your claims, it makes it a lot easier for people to believe you.

There used to be hundreds of threads complaining about sharding, and I always had three articles I would link detailing how sharding was a temporary measure. No like standing in line waiting to play SWTOR at SDCC the devs were everywhere. All anyone has to do is Google the development of SWTOR there is a lot of information on how SWTOR is built on a highly modified version of the Hero Engine.

Maybe its the engine, or maybe its just a design choice they chose to rectify? We cant really tell until bioware tells us. If you have: 1. The permission/rights to do so (just because you use an engine doesn't mean you can modify it). 2. The Developers (engine developers not MMO developers) to do so. 3. The money to pay for the Developers to do so. You need all three to do what you suggest, it's unlikely that SWTOR has all three.

The ability lag and the performance problems alone are a nightmare. Bioware has its own Lycium Engine that they use for all their games other than Mass Effect series, I dunno how hard it wouldve been to modify it to work with MMOs but I guess too hard as they went with Hero Engine instead.

Ability delay does not affect me, nor fps loss that others are having (running on max settings myself). I would much rather bioware spent the money on plot and character development / content etc.. than on building a new engine from scratch. cant really think of anything missing from it that needs to be there, someone enlighten me? Then you have not played WoW or DAOC or Age of Conan, all of which have significantly better game engines. In fact., couple this content, with the engine from Age of Conan and you have a real winner. Of course, that's too obvious to ever be done...
