I can understand that when the node has to grind through 850 warp commands or whatever, some guy is going to get the sticky end of the stick and his warp will be executed last; what I've never really understood is why the server keeps picking on the same guys to get said sticky end. Like once it's "chosen" Player A to get the lag shaft, he gets lagged the whole fight, whilst Player B continues to receive favourable treatment.
Levelling out this inequity is one of the biggest attractions of Time Dilation, btw. It wouldn't just reduce the frustration caused by unfairness - a fleet is often constrained to act at the speed of its slowest members. Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.

Sounds like Session Changes is due for a major upgrade next, ala Carbon IO? |

Will TiDi allow it to not fall on its face? Also as long as someone brought up TiDi...
Do we get to test it this week? Are solar all the solar systems being run by one node grouped together on the map, or will be get odd things like Tar having TiDi because of a big battle in Null?

Vincent Athena wrote:Will TiDi allow it to not fall on its face? It should help, though I'm not certain quite how much, since I'm not certain what the exact problem we're dealing with here is. Depending on how aggressively we tune TiDi to kick in once load is laid on, it might not respond fast enough. The downside of making it aggressive enough to kick in before such things can go down is that it might kick in when it really shouldn't. It's a balancing act we'll need to play with once we have real life datapoints to track.

Yes, they're almost always grouped by constellation and region. There's also a hard boundary between null, empire and wormhole nodes, so bleeding through type of space is extremely unlikely. CCP Veritas - Senior Programmer - EVE Software |

Please make it a priority. Everything regarding FIS comes down to fair ability of pilots to conduct their actions in any possible fleet setting.
I do have to agree with the OP: Things have been improving, a fight of 200-400 is no longer a lag grind over 700 in local though and things are still pretty gnarly... |

Are we talking undocumented code that hasn't been touched in 5 years gnarly or undocumented, obfuscated, spaghetti code that was written by a drunken monkey gnarly?
