Why compare it to no lag at all? That was never an option. Taking TiDi away doesn't take lag away.

But you have to remember, if TiDi wasn't kicking in you would likely not have loaded system. You would have black screened upon jump, and you'd be sitting in your chair wondering if you had crashed or not. You would likely not have been able to log back in, sometimes for hours.

But I'm sure that dozens of people have tried explaining this to you but you seem incapable of understandign that things could be worse than taking three minutes to warp from gate to gate.

There is not much different if TiDi slows down time or if I go blank for 5 minutes. You will simply not get much done during that time.

This is what a warning system does. Something happens and you get a warning.

An artificially created lag. The responses of your client become slower and slower as TiDi increases.

That's not lag.

The difference this makes in terms of success and achievement within the game is hardly different. You can do things during a black screen, too. You can switch to a browser and post on the forum.

TiDi = slow motion

I want to see slow motion of my ship undocking. Gets a bit boring to watch my ship still in hangar after 7+ minutes.

Not caused by TiDi.

Lag is when your request gets lost.

How is it creating an artificial lag on the client side? Are you pressing any buttons and it isn't reacting?

So how I can undock now if TiDi isn't causing this? Do I have to change setting or what?



High latency doesn't cause lag?

TiDi is not high latency.

No, you said that lag is when server fails to respond when it doesn't know what client requested.

Lag would be if you send in the jump request and that request never gets processed.

GǪand TiDi doesn't do that. Also, if the warning comes afterwards, it's not early.

Hey Whitehound! Why aren't you posting as Whitehound? Did you get muzzled due to your compulsive and incessant trolling again?

You as the player create requests and by interacting with the client, which sends them to the server. Lag means that you cannot send requests at a normal speed, but they are being slowed down. Either because they are being lost on the way and need to be resend, or they get queued up and their processing delayed. In the end does it slow you down.

With TiDi do you have no real lag, but you are still being slowed down. It creates the illusion of the universe slowing down, while it really only does so for the affected systems and not all of EVE. It does not slow down the node. The node itself simply cannot process requests faster (or slower) than before.

This illusion is what I call an artificial lag. It has a very similar effect to real lag. It only manages and warns players in a graceful way about the fact that the numbers of players connected to a node is increasing and the system is reaching is capacity.

You really, really don't understand what TiDi does, do you?

It warns from a growing lag.

The node responds more slowly. The client lets you rotate your camera only slowly, etc. Not "quite the opposite", or do you see your spaceship having an increased rate of fire? This would be quite the opposite.

This only means that it is not your success. And you are wrong to believe that TiDi lets you win a fight more often.

I got a 2 week ban for making jokes on gingers. Happens...

Why I'm still on station? 20+ minutes and waiting.

Oh, really? That's funny, the longest I've had to wait in a 10% dilated system was less than a minute. Granted, that was nullsec, but I doubt the code for moving your brain from one node to another is any different depending on security status.
