Good post OP. the engine IS crap. My computer can run pretty much any other recent game but it struggles to keep 15 FPS in warzones. It is very frustrating. "Upgrade your computer!" I hear. First I find it unacceptable to have to upgrade for this. The graphics aren't even good! Two, read the "horrible FPS" thread and you'll find multiple users that upgraded their graphic card and had NO improvements on FPS.

Well writen post completely agree with everything specially the part about the game engine, they had 200 MILLION DOLLARS to work with, yet they decided to pickup a free engine and slightly modify it, this is beyond understanding, hell even some F2P games decided to build their own damn engine to get the performance they need out of it, instead they burned 200 million on voice overs -.-

Bioware and EA failed to adhere to the fundamental basics of computers. In most cases you get what you pay for. Like a decent PSU fo ra computer, or a GPU, or even a CPU, you get what you pay for. Without proper research too you also may pay too much for an inferior product. Someone dropped the ball many times over. But then again, I just visited the Hero ENgine page, the main reason all this exists is answered in the selling points of the engine. Greed and laziness. Download the platform today Get the HeroEngine FREE! Build any type of online game (RPG, FPS, RTS and more). Publish your game as a stand-alone client, stream it to players or let them play it on the web. We handle & pay for all your servers, hosting, bandwidth & 3rd party technology. You get 70% of sales revenue. There is no cost to you, unless your game makes money.

People keep bumping this? Let it slip off the front page like all the other "I quit" posts. It's not well written, its not on point, unless you agree. Sadly echo chambers are what people are looking for. You can leave, thousands like you can leave, the game will roll on. I know it's hard to imagine we soldiering on without you but it will happen.

GW2 is going to hurt this game but Tera comes out May 1st and that is going to kill this game. Tera uses the Unreal 3 engine and the graphics and gameplay are amazing to see plus it runs the game smooth. Anyone curious about it go signup for the beta and look for yourself. SWTOR had potential but they dropped the ball with a horrible game engine and lack of major features missing from this game.

Estimates are that SWTOR cost any where from 200 to 300 million. They should have only voiced over the main story lines and utilized a proven engine like Unreal Engine 3 or the CryENGINE. That way they could have focused much more needed time on environments and other various features. Now consider this game.... 11 coders and the UDK... 11 months... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59RCd2rCBjE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is9nu...eature=related
