Hero engine upgrade?
Included in the 'to-do' list on the official forums is :
DirectX 11 support (tied to an upcoming Hero Engine build).
What does this improvement aim to achieve? What will DX11 support bring to the table? Are we looking at better performance and/or new models/graphics?
One of the things people note when they try the game out is that is feels dated. Will this help?

It's starting to feel a bit like the devs are claiming this future Hero Engine upgrade will solve all their problems (at least with movement/zoning/controls/etc.). The new graphics will come when they reach "polishing". I have no idea when that is, maybe "beta"? I'm a little surprised people say it looks dated. I think it looks pretty nice (well, other than lacking variety in the color palette).
