So a corpmate and I went out to a local moon to test how the skills are affecting missle damage. Right out of the gate, their is a problem; I can not lock his wolf.
2005.07.11 21:07:59notifyYour attempt to target Wolf failed.
This is beyond logic on any scale. I attempted several times only to receive the same message. WTF. By the warped logic of EVE, a battleship should take longer to lock, but it should lock. I couldn't even do that at any range...
Then there is the missile skills that I have at lvl 3 each, a cruise was lucky to get 10 points of damage, where without the skills I was getting at least 20.
The Wolf was sitting dead in space, so let us not go there.
I put on a tech II signal booster and was able to lock in 30+ seconds, which reduces my ability to tank.
As it stands now - an assualt frig - a Taranis for example, can pwn a Raven with that 3rd midslot to lock it down and a set of tech II blasters...
WTF

(..)

Could it be getting a lock now fails if it'd take say, over a minute or something...

I have seen this ONCE on an NPC rat in a level 4 mission...my second attempt to lock worked no problem. Haven't had the problem since.

Seeing all the problems that CCP is having with simply running their internet homepage, This might be an issue with the server. But it is very disconcerting to note that you may get your ship whack because the server would not let you defend yourself.
can't even get my picture to work
Oh and yes - The Raven is a total waste of time now

I would be actually interested to learn if this is intentional or some sort of burp in the system...

Yes, I posted something on that behavior in another thread.
EVE is a MUD, or Multi User Dungeon. The kind that fantasy players used in the late 1980's to play D&D on the internet. Granted, EVE has a very slick interface and all, but underneath it all, this is a MUD.
I have noticed some serious and very embarassing problems with CCP in the last couple of day. Right out of the gate, the website is not working properly. Then there is the problems with player protraits not loading. Then there is problems with attributes not being accessed in combat.
The Data base server is under a lot of strain with the 12,000 + players online at the moment, and attributes are not loading properly or at all, I should say. The equations that rely on player attributes are not getting all the variables and as such are relying on default numbers. So The system is broken.
CCP is also rather small, their EVE store manager when on vacation and will not be processing orders for a couple of weeks??? If they don't have someone to cover for the manager, what makes you think there are enough people to fix the problems they are having now?
I say wait till the number of people online is lower, and try again. It will be amusing to see what happens

I can't agree that this is lag. If so, why is there a message specifically for this?
What kind of code simply returns fail to lock when the lock timer should still be counting. Plus if you have ever locked a frozen corpse you know that the time can run for a LONG time and still lock.
unless of course this is another swipe of the 'old nerf paddle.

I gotta agree with you. This was one of those 'hidden' nerfs. The Raven is effectively junk now

I've noticed that lock time for me on interceptors has gone up from 20 seconds to 30 seconds in my Raven. I, too, am wondering if they included a stealth nerf without putting it in patch notes.

Now I'm so happy that I could sell my raven fitted for lvl4 agents for 175mil

Whow this post again. Ok, lets start with welcomming you to the 21th century.
Hi, there and welcome to the 21th century.
Now then lets explain a single thing. If databases would be so bad that certain numbers would go missing in equations do you think that lets say.... THE WHOLE WORLD would rely on them to do their banking?
I am not sure what your problem is with CCP but you seem to feel the need to convince everyone that the game they created is no good because they use a database and do not have enough people to changes the 1's into 0's in the computers memory or something along those lines.
Now this is not a flame it just a request to stop making these totaly ussless claims that have no basis of truth to them. Constructive critizisem is good just making unfounded claims about technology that you do not seem to not know very much about is not helpful to anyone.

Well I'm sorry, but if I open my hangar with 400 items (with cleared cache) and I get icons displayed that do not correspond to the item (Hydra F.O.F. missile with an icon of a Merlin BP) or that some items do get funny icons like chequered icons, there is something wrong. I don't say it's the database, but it's something from (db, proxy, internet, client).
Also opening People & Places folder with 70 characters takes 10 seconds, which is twice the time before patch.
In last week, I got disconnected many times, before patch I don't remeber to happen this to me.
So even CCP claims in the latest announcement that the server can sustain heavy load, I'm a bit pesimistic.
But on the other hand I take all these issues as bugs that will be fixed

Try clearing your cache and try again, I had some weird problems like unably to buy or sell minerals, the buy/sell screen just wouldn't load. After clearing the cache it worked without problems.
Remember when you clear your cache DON'T delete the .\settings\ folder, this way all your bookmarks and settings don't get changed.
