You CCP jerks act like goons are heroes... cheering them, and quoting them in a dev blog?? I really have no respect for you anymore, but we all know, you don't give a damn about what a high sec player thinks of you.

If your so hell bent on EVE being a game of pirates and griefers, why do you even have concord and high sec??

Yeah, yeah, now the low/null dorks are all going to flame me, go ahead, I don't care.

Well done CCP. Both on the technical side of course, but more on the game side. You created rules (or a lack thereof) that allows this to happen. And it did.

I have almost no time right now for Eve due to RL but I did log on with an alt that was in Jita itself, just so I could float outside of 4-4 and watch. Awesome.

This is what makes an awesome game!

Concord exists to punish, not protect, there's a very important distinction there.

Also, good work keeping the server from catching fire along with the solar system CCP :) IRC even went down to have a little (unplanned) intervention, it was fun seeing ourselves on player run live streams.

I'm playing since 2006 when it was crazy to jump into Jita with more than 300 pilots and when we had at least 3 unexpected downtimes each week. At that time the database was mysql. OMG that must had been terrible . I was part of huge fleets in 0.0 and saw the blackscreen many times and couldn't stop a gun. Nevertheless this game was always best in his class.

But in the last 12months eve became awesome as it should be. Thx for all the nights devs you didn't wanted anyway.

Any chance we could also get the list of dead ships in Jita from Friday - Sunday?

I realise this is your stance (as it should be) but that is not how your blog reads. "Led by Goonswarm...jaw-dropping...stood in awe..." etc. etc."

Just sayin'

TIDI makes the Blackscreening issue much worse.

Congratulations on a successfull weekend...

..but..."and not being able to make a war target only overview."
CCP broke this over a year ago (petitioned and acknowledged as defect) and seriously, why isn't this getting fixed ? It's just insanely inconvenient for doing anything war-related thing in highsec.

P.S. Same bug prevents a blue-only overview

Wardecs not being able to be fired upon. This results when a wardec is in place in only one direction. From what I understand, this is a quite old bug. Perhaps it can be fixed with the wardec revamp.

And we thank CCP for creating an environment where almost anything is possible, giving enough time and effort. When things started getting wonky on Friday you all could have simply said "screw it, it's the weekend!" and went home. Instead there were fixes to Crimewatch, reinforcing of nodes, and a perfect execution of TiDi.

It is great to know that after nine years this game still receives so much support from the the developers.

Yes. It was an issue the entire weekend. Very similar to the old 0.0 issues where you never load grid and are dead before you do.

If you want to smug it up in this thread you go right ahead ok?

Just a few questions if you don't mind.

So we obviously had the population cap on the system as mentioned in the blog this as I doubt a whole lot of market trade was happening that day was it still needed due to crimewatch not really scaling well in highsec ?

Given the server needed a population cap if high sec players had filled the system with warm bodies then Burn Jita wouldn't have happened at all?

If that's the case will the reworking of Crimewatch that is occuring improve it's performance enough to rid highsec of population caps?

I'll ask around and see if CCP Diagoras can provide details.

Can we get some details on this bug? Specifically, Friday morning (EVE time) I was hanging out in Jita killing GCC folks, and somehow got concorded without receiving a warning popup before shooting. The person I got concorded for supposedly killing (sec status drops for both aggression and killing) doesn't show up on my kill log. I petitioned it but haven't yet received a reply.

Any chance this is related?

Incredible amount of carnage.

As for requests, how about:

GÇó Freighters lost, by type
GÇó Alliance who lost the most industrial ships
GÇó People that lost the most ships
GÇó People that lost the most capsules

Thanks!

CCP smugness in the devblog and in these posts is very well deserved.

The dilemma: is CFC happy that CCP finally delivered an environment where Burn Jita is not only possible, but actually enjoyable; or is CCP happy that CFC gave them the chance to showoff their best server-fu?

In the end, everyone is happy that the sandbox works as intended, both technically and as player-driven content.

Can't it be both? I mean CCP did ask for more extensive tests of TiDi at fanfest...

Been in Eve a fair time now and the fact that the Jita node supported this type of activity and numbers shows how far CCP have come in addressing the lag monster with both hardware and software solutions. Very well done to all those invovled over the years in this process.

What happens now? What was the fix?

I could see:

Inform all clients of the correct time GCC time when someone jumps into system;
Make the 15 minute timer not subject to TiDi;
Something else...?

What was the fix?

Graph pron. Excellent dev blog!

This dev blog owns. Burn jita was fun as hell and (almost)everything worked!

Also i was quoted woot

A big thank you to CCP for making this possible and all the players who attended this event. This is why we love Eve.

lots of tin foil hat wearing players in this thread

One of the best blogs ever!

What about a case where person coming back to system still has some GCC time left, but less than what is cached in other clients?

"Jita, Amarr, Rens and more..."

hmph. No love for Dodixie, Oursulaert or Stacmon - they are relegated to "more"..

Gallente get no respect no mo

I was able to get in and out of jita pretty easy. I grabbed a few wrecks then got to OOO and AHHH


TBH: I thought it was gonna be worse, but impressive none the less. after looking at the stats thou I wonder what was kills isk totals vs isk lost.

great job ccp for making this run smooth and awesome DEVBLOG

You can just feel the pride coming out in the dev blog, and CCP should damn well be proud of this event. I experienced the blackscreening on Friday night, but after the hotfix, I never had that problem again.

Well done to all the staff at CCP that put in the time and effort on a weekend for this!

Thanks for all the hard work you've been putting into the game CCP! I've never played any game for more than a few months and I've been logging in almost daily for well over two years now, and the game just keeps getting better and better (especially since Crucible).

Ok. And what about the broken crimewatch mechanics?
I'd like to see a BIG blog about that too. What was broken and why?

For example:
1: why were people killed by concord while shooting at agressors?
2: Why were people left with 3h aggro timer (!?) see here: http://i.imgur.com/g53mW.jpg - 3 HOURS of aggro left!?!
3: Also: how many goons were banned while burning Jita?
Don't tell me there were NONE!? // TINFOIL HAT!

Congrats to CCP for building a game that allows game play such as this. Player driven. Congrats to the null-sec'rs. They backed their words with ships and ammo (I have called them whiners in the past, but no whining here, just explosions).

I must admit, mostly being a small time trader, I avoided Jita for a few days, but these kinds of occurances are great for eve and its players. Keeps things fun and interesting.

And awesome to see the game performance was acceptable to great.
