Yeah from what I have found they are not running the Hero Engine. Bad info Ut? ALso, didn't simutronics write the hero engine? How do you remove the ode of the creator and still have anything left?

Last couple of Betas through early release and then until the patch with the second set of raids came in. I had cleared most of the first set on non heroic as I recall.

No it isn't bad information. It's the base hero engine with layered functionalilty wrapped. A few people feeding me information working on the project in the past or currently have told me the same.
Never let the text mudders write your graphics engine. Seems pretty basic. Also I hit level 50 in SWOTOR on or about Jan 5 2012. There is an old post on Graffe's with that date... knowing me... I played less than two months after that.
Stop tempting me, bastard.
I just watched a stream of this, and it actually looks nothing like my play session before. Graphics get overhauled or something or did I have the settings screwed up?

It is absolutely a gutted version of Hero. Friend of mine is one of the ADs and we spoke with them about their experiences with it when we were considering using Hero for one of our projects. The end result was us choosing to not use it (as it seemed like it needed a lot of gutting and wasn't even close to "functional" out of the box at the time)
So... if you pre-order, you get a huge gameplay advantage over those who don't? Or do races give no benefits? Not sure which would be dumber.
That quote reminds me of the devs who first said CoD: Ghostswas on an entirely new engine, then had to backtrack to say it was on a"significantly upgraded" engine. All the old quirks remained, and it was pretty obviously PR hype. Speaking of old quirks/bugs, I seem to remember Skyrim'stotally new "Creation" enginehaving a lot of the same exact bugs as theold "Gamebryo" engine. I suppose it's semantics, but I feel there's an important distinction between a new engine and just heavily modifying/layering an existing one. I guess that Gameinformer site doesn't- at least they're consistent.
It's not surprising they want to distance themselves from the HeroEngine name, it does not have a good namebrand after the problems in SWTOR. The article you linked was posted about 3 weeks afterHeroEngine posted an announcement for ES:O. It's surprising to me thatifZenimax created their own engine from the ground up withoutanyHeroEngine code, they wouldn't name and promote it like SoE did with Forgelight to make sure there was no confusion. Maybe they thought it would be better to let engine talk die and not to Streisand-effect it.Here's some skepticismdirectly from the Hero Engine guy saying the Zenimax denial was sad, comparing it to Silicon Knights v Epic Games. Interesting that both Zenimax and BioWare licensed HeroEngine when it was just in alpha.
This is probably what I saw when I used the second dual-wield skill (flurry?). It was a multi-hit skill, but I could never tell when the animation finished. Seemed like my character would swing forever, very little damage would be done and mobs were actually hurting me. I had that hard-GCD type mentality ingrained after spending some time in FFXIV, but I got frustrated so I started just spamming the button. Mobs started falling over near instantly. Didn't even seem to use much stamina, and since I was PVE'ing there was no downtime moving mob to mob because OOC regen is so high. It was really hard to tell what exactly was going on.
Got an email from GMG earlier with 25% off. Good until Feb 3. They also had the Titanfall preorder 25% off a day or two ago.Save 20% on your pre-order.
Come on in... the water's fine... you will get at least some good quests and if you play a caster the combat is not horrible. There is nothing else coming out around then. Plus, even if you hate it, you can come here and lie and say it's great and make Ut's head explode!
They improved the textures or something. With everything turned up it looked really good last beta. Animations are still terrible.
Are you basing your comments on the weekend open beta test or the closed beta test?
ha...
If they added co-op to Skyrim, multiplayer modding, and a persistent world, I'd pay for that...
I feel like the whole gaming world is just waiting on the edge of its collective seat, anticipating the impending spectacle of this game's hysterically predictable failure.

Would be interesting to do a forum competition to guess the # of boxes sold in the first month and if it's published the # of active subs after 3 and 6 months.
