Well in all honesty, if you bring a blob, I don't see why you would expect anything short of massive lag fests.
That said, Eve does need a core rewrite to deal with all of this, the current fixes to it unfortunately only puts patches on a tumor. The core system needs a fundamental redesign.

I tried to jump into 020 an hour before downtime. Grid barely loaded but nothign worked corectly. remtoe call monitor stacked commands. I gave up. I tried to login immediatly after downtime. I started logging in when timer showed 3 seconds. I was black screened for half an hour and gave up. Closed the client. So far today I have been awake for 2 hours and spent 1 of those staring at black screens, waited half an hour during a downtime, and the other 30 i walked away from the pc.
I check the killboards and my cap is dead. Aparently it died over half an hour after I gave up tryign to log in.
FIX THE GAME. NOTHING WORKS. WE PAY YOU MONEY TO PLAY AND THIS GAME AND DOZENS OF THINGS DONT WORK !!!!!!!!!!

its funny. We had a good fight before the downtime local reaching 1800. but after the downtime nothing works, absolutely nothing. Local is only 1200 and every single command (even the corp chat) has a latency of 30 minutes, not seconds.
What happened CCP? Did you move the extra hamsters to Jita node?

Remember when fleet fights lagged at 200 in local? Might not seem like much but progress is being made.

In the immortal words of Crumplecorn:
ofc I understand. but this is complete crap that you have to "Guess-estimate" hows the node is going to do today.
Now the local is under 1000 (a medium number by our counts) and still everything is completely frozen.
And one more funny thing, you can see people warp / chat / jump in realtime (I watched my alt warp and jump), but your outgoing request are lagging for those 30 mins.

btw, this one time i had my friend build me a boat. hes pretty smart but he isnt god, so he made a boat that could only carry my weight + 20 kilos.
over the summer i got pretty hungry. i started eating lots of doughnuts and cakes, and icecream... oh man i like icecream. long story short i now weight 60 kilos + the 50 i put on. so the other day i decided to take the boat out on the lake. my friend told me that he would try his best to get the boat to carry my new found flesh, but he cant do that overnight.
im a bit of an impatient guy though so i take the boat out on the lake and the results are obvious. i started abusing him and threatening to take legal action. now he doesnt want to fix my boat =(
life is just so unfair.
also in at the same time as me.

No crying or whining here 
I was in the bad books with my Mrs because I got up early on a Sunday Morning to play a stupid game, as she calls it,(yeah,I actually have a life outside of eve, enough of a life to have a wife,kids and grandkids)
So while trying to log into 020 before DT I had time to make reparations to my wife by making her breakfast in bed, got me back in the goodbooks a little, by the time she had finished her breakfast, I had loaded grid, joined fleet and got on a couple of titan kills and an SC I think.
After DT I tried to log in, but tbh 2000 people trying to log into the same system at the same time, well thats not going to go well
So while waiting, my daughter asked for a lift to town, took her, came back, still black screen, now my Mrs is asking me to take her shopping, might as well, because
a) Still got black screen b) Will ensure I'm in her goodbooks
So I'm not whining about lag, it's helping my RL, and if I come back to find I'm in a new clone in station, well hell, beats a black screen

It took me bloody 90 minutes to recall my bombers. Local is now at 875, and I've been waiting 40 minutes to jump out. There is no shooting going on in system, there is no combat. This system has a smaller population than Jita, and we sit here for hours trying to log out so we can go to bed. But we can't just log, because people who logged over an hour ago are still ongrid waiting to die...

No. It falls into soul-crushing lag up to 40-50-60 minutes, and mostly who jusp into system will be blackscreened until DT.

The game is made to favor blob. Problem is, each time they introduce a fix to handle more people in a system the blobs become bigger and bigger to the point the system can't handle more. And you end up in a circle of death, unless the game mechanics change this **** will keep happens.

this one time my mother told me i was the brightest boy in all the world. when i got to grade 1, for some reason my results seemed avarage. i was puzzled.
my mother again told me i was the brightest boy in all the world. blindly knowing my mother would never lie to me, i assumed the tests were mistaken.
when i got into grade 6 my teacher told me i might need to repeat a grade because i was far behind. i cried and asked my mother why this was happening to the brightest boy in the world. again my mother reassured me and again i believed her.
at senior school all my teachers said i did reasonably well for my what i had to work with. though i never admitted it this hurt me greatly, but i did not consult my mother.
finaly at university i walked into a class and assumed i was among the least gifted in my group. my mother still believes me to be the brightest star.
what you believe does not always matter. what is true can be pretty damned inescapable.

maybe everyone is looking at this all wrong, maybe the game just isn't supposed to be about blobbing as many people as you possibly can into a single node. It sure as **** isn't any fun for the players involved so why the hell do people do it?
I still don't understand why alliances don't try to use their numbers to their advantage rather than just break the game in a single point.
I'm talking about going back to some tactics... I know its hard for a lot of people to rethink and rework it, however if done correctly you can eliminate lag issues and if done effectively you may even accomplish your objectives much faster.
An example, you have 800 people at your disposal as just a figure plucked from thin air so scale accordingly.
Rather than just blobbing the 800 people into 1 system you break your forces into smaller groups and open up multiple fronts. something like;
1x 200 capital fleet 6x 100 man fleet
You send in the 6 sup-cap fleets to 6 different target systems. Have the capitals stage in a system which can hit all 6 systems being assaulted by the sub-caps.
The standard defence would be a form up in 1 key system and setup within it.
the 100 man attacking fleet that heads to that system will have the job of keeping the enemy busy and scouting the main defence fleets movements. They are not going to engage 100 Vs 800 for example so safe up and keep moving around system, they are not achieving their objective of taking that 1 system but the other 5 sub-cap fleets are, lag free.
The capitals can be jumped to reinforce the efforts from system to system. If the enemy fleet starts to move you counter by reinforcing an alternative location.
The only possible way to counter would be for the defenders to divide their forces and try to cover all the systems. Unprepared it will take time, randoms will have to step up and FC it will be a **** show. Most alliances will just resort to covering that 1 system for the duration.
Throw Titans into the mix with the correct leadership and you can combine the 100 man fleets in key locations, if an enemy fleet starts to move you can cut them off mid-transit and catch them straggled out over a few jumps, 1 cyno could potentially have you full force jump-able onto their weak spot. allocate 3x 100 man gang +capitals to fight the enemy off guard for example meanwhile your still taking over 3 systems.
Above all, it removed the blob, which would ultimately remove lag... but then I guess its just easier to blob and most will TLDR my post :P

I hate threads like this. CCP have constantly improved the game server, dedicated an entire team to identifying and reducing lag, and have improved the game a long way from the January -> September 2010 dominion lag-fest. The server is good enough that I've consistently been in 700 in local fights with over 500 people on the field and only had minor 2 second module lag, if this was march 2010 the node would have died. CCP have improved eve a lot in the past 8 months, and posts like this just shove it all in their faces.
Maybe the problem is that you're just self-entitled dimwits. We're all paying customers, not just the 3000 of you trying to mass login to the same system at once. I'm sorry that you aren't able to play the game you want to be able too, but raging at CCP when they have probably improved the game on the server side the most they ever have recently just makes you seem like an ungrateful ***got. ---

MOAHAHAHHAA I get a boner from NC whining about lag.
Dont bring more then 200 or let 1 alliance deal with and see how smooth the game floats. Stop beeing a mindless bot and whine. But I guess most NC are scared to even try go outnumberd or in even numbers. I remember when I was in Atlas, we came with 240-250, NC dident even dare to come if they dident have atleast 500 and then whined the **** about lag...

Originally by: EOH Minigin Irrelevant stuff
You are really good at copy-pasting anecdotal stories form the internet that have almost no relevance to the topic at hand.
The topic being: Why do "blob" coalitions complain about lag when they jump 1000+ players into a system.
The answer to me seems self-evident. People enjoy very large fleet fights, something that should be possible in a sandbox game where player made empires are battling for space. The problem is, CCP doesn't have the technology and software capabilities to handle it. So who is at fault, the players playing a sandbox game on their own terms, or CCP for facilitating game play outside of their technological capability?
As far as the people saying, "The NC can only do anything with 1000 people". That very well may be, but this is a sandbox game, there is no wrong way to do something. As far as I'm concerned, it's a classic haters gonna hate situation, given the success of NC and friends.

Once again, you're missing the point, as shocking as it may sound, people WANT to fight, so when situations like a 2000 man 020 fight occur it's very frustrating for the parties involved.
I personally don't understand why you can't take into account the jubilations of victory and the frustrations of defeat when assessing the complaints. I think it's safe to say human nature is at play here, but that doesn't give the NC, or anyone else for that matter, less of a right to complain about lag.

Isent 200 large enough for you? Or wait, or wait, you must have the magical 2-1 ratio, so you always have atleast like 500 and then the lag starts to kick in, stop with the 2-1 ratio and fight 1-1 ratio and enyoj nice fleetbattles.

Originally by: Vardec Crom The answer to me seems self-evident. People enjoy very large fleet fights, something that should be possible in a sandbox game where player made empires are battling for space. The problem is, CCP doesn't have the technology and software capabilities to handle it. So who is at fault, the players playing a sandbox game on their own terms, or CCP for facilitating game play outside of their technological capability?
As far as the people saying, "The NC can only do anything with 1000 people". That very well may be, but this is a sandbox game, there is no wrong way to do something. As far as I'm concerned, it's a classic haters gonna hate situation, given the success of NC and friends.
No other game that I have heard of comes close to handling as many single players within one system all shooting one of 2 targets. Simple fact is, if CCP can't handle it, no-one can.
People enjoy winning, the only way you can win in this game if you happen to be very bad is to blob your enemy. Unfortunately what you've missed is that there is literally nothing CCP can actually do to "fix" it. Hypothetically if CCP were to halve lag, then the very next large fight NC can and will turn up with 2000+ instead of 1000. There is nothing CCP can ever do to control this. So the only option is to accept that every now and then you will lag yourselves out with your own fleet to comical effect.
Whining about what you've done and expecting CCP to come up with some magical fix is hillarious though, so kindly ignore me and carry on.

I never claimed there was a "fix" to it, I stated that CCP is facilitating gameplay outside of it's technological capabilities, which is an issue. It could be something as simple as putting a hardcap on the number of players a system can handle, (ungraceful and heavy handed, but it's just an example) or incentivize smaller scale fighting, getting rid of the RF mechanic, etc. but it certainly is not the players fault for playing on their own terms.
The only way to effect change is to complain, and as far as I'm concerned, PL should be supporting the NC blobbers in their whine threads, it could turn out good for you guys.

Originally by: Suitonia I hate threads like this. CCP have constantly improved the game server, dedicated an entire team to identifying and reducing lag, and have improved the game a long way from the January -> September 2010 dominion lag-fest. The server is good enough that I've consistently been in 700 in local fights with over 500 people on the field and only had minor 2 second module lag, if this was march 2010 the node would have died. CCP have improved eve a lot in the past 8 months, and posts like this just shove it all in their faces.
Maybe the problem is that you're just self-entitled dimwits. We're all paying customers, not just the 3000 of you trying to mass login to the same system at once. I'm sorry that you aren't able to play the game you want to be able too, but raging at CCP when they have probably improved the game on the server side the most they ever have recently just makes you seem like an ungrateful ***got.
erm.. i remember a certain "whine" thread when IT dropped on PL titans not too long ago and this sort of thing happened to them. Oh the irony!
This thread was created coz simply 900 people in a system and you simply can't do anything. CCP may have actually come a long way, but the game at this time is broken. Supers not logging out or just staying on grid for 18hours+, jumping out yet and not disappearing once they have logged.
Oh btw hows holding IT space going for you?

You are right, that's quite a long way off with current progress.
But yeah you should try a fight or 2 with 500 in local. It's pretty fun, and the servers can handle it.

With all that success why do they act like whiny babies when something doesn't go their way.
Just a couple of days ago there was a situation where DRF titans were blackscreened, and NC were more than happy to shoot them. I don't see a thread from the NC asking CCP to fix the game that day.
+1 I have to agree that when the large force's know how many numbers they have and try to brake the system with said numbers to hold the high ground they don't have a leg to stand on when they complain about there own doing. Its no ones fault but your own. Sorry.
There was another leader of a major force in this game that used to do the same thing. His name was Sirmolle. Just food for thought. . . . I heard you the last time. |

No, you're dumb. This has been a "known issue" since 2003. To put it bluntly, no matter what the limit is, you will always bring enough people to find it. Then for mysterious reasons, known only to you, you have the audacity to spit your dummy out complain and make demands that CCP do something about it.
Virtually every other entity in Eve has moved away from massive coalitions since Dominion except yourselves. Which is why we're all laughing at you as you try to figure out what is happening to you and why.
edit: your "idea" (if it can even be called that) is stupid. A hardcap just means a rush to fill the system after downtime in order to prevent the enemy from even being allowed to enter the system - hardly the recipe for fun.
tl;dr You have to figure out the solution yourselves, but I will give you a clue - it doesn't involve 1000 drakes.

HERP DERP
What NC haters seem to not realise is that they were outblobbed by DRF.
DRF outblobbed NC on titans, supers and subcaps.
There is no E-Honor and having your two best warriors decide the outcome of a battle hasn't applied since the times of Achilles. Blob or be blobbed, or go back to hisec, terrible posters.
CCP designed the sov warefare system to do this - they just forgot to back it up with good code and gear before they marketed releases like Dominion.

Originally by: Horizonist if you bring a blob, I don't see why you would expect anything short of massive lag fests.
This is one reason I decided to go into worm holes: no lag.
It is very hard to get 1,000+ ships into one wh before it would collapse into a swirling Schwarzschild radius. (But that might be pritty cool to look at)

Blaming alliances for blobbing is just being an obvious troll.
The game Sov mechanics force blobs to fight on the same grid, in 1 system.
If you don't go to attack/defend that 1 grid/system, then the Sov is changed sides.
CCP designers from the start should have forseen this, WE should have forseen this, why is this all of a sudden a big surprise? Just because there's a recent fight, I don't get why people come to forums and post about it. Nobody cares. We ALL chose to play this game, we realised the downfall after we learned MMORPG actually meant laggy online play. It is a technical hard limit which cannot be resolved. This means CCP must fix their game, either technically or with a code rewrite.
As for those laggy fights, I chose to keep away from them.
Blame technology and CCP for this 
We all are accountable for chosing to go into that system, but the game makes us do just this!

Hey everyone. Just wanted to drop in and tell you about my idea for fixing lag over in the assembly hall. Have a read and thumbs up if it sounds good to you, maybe with enough votes CCP will look at an alternative. Thanks!
