Here's the reality - no one on these forums (at least not in this thread), regardless of any of your past programming experience, has ANY experience working with this Engine in any capacity. The point I'm making here is that everyone needs to just shut up about things they don't know anything about and stop spreading their ignorant theories around as any sort of authority on the matter. This thread is how rumors get started, and is doing nothing but spreading disinformation that ANYONE who doesn't know any better, will listen to. My advice - stop worrying about it. Bioware's got this. Let them do their job. This!
Asani - Sorcerer / Kishira - Mercenary / Liexa - Sniper Dead Server Refugee - Empire - Jedi Covenant (EST/PVE) Love, like or hate the game try to remember that Opinion != Fact.

A colleague of mine's company used HSL for a bit before changing to Unity due various concerns, not limited to just the clunkiness of HeroBlade. So i have worked with it a bit, mostly just tire kicking and shoulder-surfing, but I think I can have a meaningful conversation about it. I would not overestimate the ability to modify Hero though, I cant imagine the "version" that Bioware is working with is terribly different than what is available to anyone else. Was there something you needed to discuss about it specifically?

Trion is winning awards right and left for their two engines they made them selves. Bioware made some very serious fundemental mistakes. Its disturbing how good the game is whith a crappy engine. It is gonna kill their retention in the long term mmo players demand more these days not a instanced static world with good story and medicore gameplay

Yea I can't believe they went for this engine either. I mean most of the problems people have with the game stems from the engine

Help me, Bio-Ware Support; you're my only hope.
