This older pos car was a temporary fix until I was at a spot I could afford to A)Get a new car, or B)Replace the motor in my old car.
The salesman didn't try saying how good the car was, he flat out listened to me and understood I was on a budget and simply sold me a car. A better analogy would be that you couldn't use your roadster because you had to haul 30 kids to a game, and you're complaining that the bus you had to use didn't handle like a roadster. Well, duh. CCP can optimize and optimize and optimize--in case you missed the relevant article, the game already runs on the equivalent of a supercomputer, and it's considered a technological marvel--but look at the numbers: 6VDT was a 4000-member fight between a ~13,000 member alliance (plus ~mumble~ allies) and a ~35,000 member coalition. Do you believe for a second that if the node had been able to host 6,000 people instead, that it wouldn't have been a 6,000 member fleet fight? Time Dilation allows the game to run fairly and predictably under loads that would make any other engine curl up in a fetal crouch and cry for mommy. That is a feature. for a while there, we were loading the roadster down with kids to the point where it scraped the asphalt, and even then we were leaving some of them behind. But paradox here wants our bus to preform like a roadster and he wants it NOW! Nevermind that the changes to the engine and the chassis is a huge undertaking.
When CCP advertises that bus as performing like a roadster... yes. I fully expect a company to make good on their word for services and products they sell.
That's the beauty of being a consumer, that I think a lot of fanbois are missing here; we are all consumers. We aren't the devs or programmers (or step up if you are!) or anyone that has to defend something that is not working up to par.
It's substandard, and us as paying customers should want more plain and simple.
Consumers consume.

No its not its simply changing the speed of the game. Its not lag, lag is a calls being made on the processor that the processor has to queue to process.
They are different monsters, time dilation allows an orderly wind down of the queue, lag is hit or miss, some things work, some things just don't happen, or happen in the wrong order. |

So, if you play a game that has a bullet-time mode, then that is lag under you definition as well. Better go ***** at them too |

come on, this thread is getting funnier and funnier.
here, let me tell you what happened before TiDi: node crash, stuck at login screen, first blob on the scene wins the day as they only need to setup a token force on the gate and watch the attackers trickle one by one and get shot one by one not even knowing how the **** they ended up on a new clone. and I'm not even talking about the permastuck modules and seeing your ship on fire zero hull for 1 hour until, yeah you guessed it: the node crashes.
now, things happen, altho (extremely) slowly, now at the very least you can see yourself getting properly podded. [img]http://eve-files.com/sig/grimpak[/img]

For the 30th time.
TiDi is not lag, its a change in the client update rate that in affect gives the node 10 times the amount of time to process call and queries made to it in game time.
No more no less.
Now, when we get 2700 man battles on un-reinforced nodes, or ridiculousness like 6VDT, there is certainly lag happening, even then its still a vast improvement over 2010 when around 600 local everything got completely haywire. |

Standard? When you undock and click a command... how long does it take?
Now compare that to a TiDi'd node.

I don't think you quite get it.
Lag is lag is lag. Period.
Tidi does not remove lag or decrease lag.
Time Dilation is artificially (and intentionally) creating lag. Not from an overload of commands, but by processing the queue of commands.
Time dilation helps with blackscreen disconnects, but it does so by creating that buffer to process those commands as to not crash.
It's still ******* lag. "But my favourite visual experience in Eve was a pipebombing run on a digital projector. Sure, the aliasing can never match the perfection of a 2160p image - but you can't beat a five metre space volcano on your wall." - Lord Maldoror(RnK)

you still haven't answered the question. Nice deflection though. Anyway, if you don't think you're getting enough performance for your money, then stop playing. That's one less wasted slot on the server. |

"Lag is also often used in reference to video games to describe the delay (or latency) between an action by a player and the reaction of the game"(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lag)
Say it one more time, with feeling please, how TiDi is not lag.

That's easy, Time Dilation disrupts "real time". So not even Even can process a 4,000 ship battle in "real time".
Stop trolling.

I think where the fanboys are getting obsessed is in defense of their holy matron they fixate on the term 'lag' as a somantic argument that avoids confronting the reality of gameplay suckage during large fleet battles...
So lets start again, with using more fanboy-approved terms like 'slowdowns' (and the ubiquitous 'suckage').
I have updated the blog post as well to be more fanboy (samantic-fixated-derp-meisters) more comprehension of what I am talking about as well...I am nothing if not flexible!
How as paying EvE users did we come to accept UI razzle dazzle and gimmicks instead of a true remedy to slowdowns? When did nullsec alliances give up the ghost, and like a victim of Stokholm syndrome buy into the notion that TiDi is some kind of answer to the rediculous fail of slowdown suckage on the single-shard, single-sandbox?
I don't get it.
Can someone explain this please? It wasn't so long ago people were burning Jita because of micro-transactions, yet now with increasing server suckage the response is 'meh'?

I do understand the difference, but as we are using layman terms in regards to time dilation not being lag (it's what the word actually means btw) I do not think it's a matter of you to decide.
