Benefits of the Hero engine

Wow you caught them. They purposely didn't put this in so you and other like would agonize and complain about not having it. There can be no other logical reason at all for them not implementing everything you think should be in the game. I'm sure at Bio Ware they all need to take hourly breaks to laugh evilly at the thought.

That's the case almost every single time. Because they don't want/need no one else must.

Did I say that?

My point was they can't do something very tiny much less something really big like streaming live content.

/roll was just the example of something very tiny. I never said I wanted it or needed it did I?

Oh yes now my eyes have been opened, I've been far too harsh on this game. I mean how dare I expect a /roll command, or some decent looking end-game armor, or end-game armor with stats that make sense, or a legacy system, or not want useless orbital station runs, or mounts that give more than 10% increase of speed for 300k, or .....well if you don't get the point by now then there's no reaching you. I'm happy for you that you're satisfied but some of us expect more.

Bioware is not using the HeroEngine.

Bioware copied a pre-alpha version of the HeroEngine ages ago and then created their own Bioware version of a game engine.

Whatever it is, it is NOT the HeroEngine they are using.

SWEET. Please post the three lines of HeroEngine code it would take, I love learning new coding techniques.

Oh wow you challenged our ability to code it! That totally changes the fact that it's a small task!

Complaining bitterly, making whacky assumptions that they are not capable of very little things much less a big thing, because I have demanded it, and they have not implemented it immediately at my request.

FIFY.

Okay here are some things that are not assumptions.

At this time:
They cannot make decent looking end-game tier gear.
They cannot make a hood up/down option.
They cannot let you choose your WZ.
They cannot make the end-game tier armor stats make sense.

At this time:
You happen to not like the aesthetic of the end-game tier gear, altho others haven't decided, as you have, that it requires losing hair and/or sleep over...and some of us...*gasp*...think some of it is rather cool.
They haven't implemented a hood up-down option as you've self-righteously demanded as though it is the most important thing in the world.
They made a design decision you don't like regarding WZ queueing and it relates to making sure that people actually get in and do WZs even if the other faction isn't queueing.
You can't make sense of the end-game tier armor stats, which are owned by a full fraction of a percentage of the players and can easilyl be tweaked if it actually proves necessary, as opposed to just the rantings of amateur theorycrafters who mostly don't even own the stuff yet.
And I'll add one: they've prioriized far more important things according to all the information available to them, but not to you, but those priorities don't align with yours so you have an angry.

FIFY.

BTW, here's a hint: "Cannot" is where all of these whines fail...epically...
