Hero Engine: why?

I love the optimism and I wish I could share it, but realistically this kind of thinking only gives BW a free pass to delay any such actions indefinitely. They have not even openly admitted there is an FPS problem when there are multiple people on screen in WZs/Illum etc.

Even their recently released guide just briefly mentioned this with a comment that low GPU usage should be expected as majority of heavy lifting in this scenarios should be done by the CPU. My understanding is that the game engine in the current form is not even able to utilize any modern day quad core or better CPUs. (so really the poor performance is still not the end user's problem and rather for Bioware to fix).

Anyway how about we take a more common sense approach and all unsub until all these things are fixed so we dont have to pay for our wait in the meantime, especially when nobody can tell how long are we to be waiting for.

this ur first mmo i guess or even one of your first pc games altogether.

DAoC used NetImmersion initially then "upgraded" to Gambryo with ToA.

War used Gamebryo

HERO's big claims to fame are:
1) it makes it easy to do collaborative development (e.g. over the internet)
2) they can host everything, including CS and billing
3) HORRIBLE FPS and performance

We don't lose Bioware and EA do by failing to deliver on yet another MMO, at least from EA's part, and showing the MMO/Gaming Community exactly what kind of design and development teams Bioware has.

What is Faxion and how well did it do for Bio to look at all the metrics and say this is the one.

This pic looks like it came from SW:ToR. Allot of the pics from the game Dominus looks like SW:ToR.

Yeah look at the HD textures. That alien species looks really cool, like some kind of guy made out of organic crystal or..like, glowing vines. Pretty neat. The graphics are similar but undeniably better in these screen shots.

You know ..they could have used a "good" engine. At least Unreal Engine dont bring up that many problems. TERA looks good doesnt it? So does Blade and Soul.

Bottom left hand pic, looks like a frozen planet that I have already seen...)

Yeah but have you got DX installed and installed all update's and done the repair, If not its your problem. Not BW YOURS.

Why? Because heroengine rocks. That's why...the more BioWare will be updating it, staking out performance issues, the smoother it will be. I have NO problem with anything in this game with performance.

Yes I know, just because I don't doesn't mean everyone doesn't. I love the heroengine and I know BW will continue to do lots of good work on it!
