Seriously, you promote MMORPG and you charge a ridiculous fee for it, but when we actually utilize the MMORPG aspect of the game and get in a 2,000+ man battle, all I end up doing it clicking once, switching to another monitor where I'm watching ****. I manage to achieve orgasm 4, sometimes 5 times before I even have to think about looking at the other monitor where EVE is and making another click, then I go to the bathroom to clean up, go fix some hot chocolate, do some laundry, come back, and realize I forgot EVE was still playing and look at the screen to see my previous target is almost dead, so I make a couple more clicks to target the next guy and go back to doing my chores.... you get the idea.

-ú9 is not ridiculous. You should probably move to a country with fibre optic cabling and a good exchange rate.

The only lag should be what your system can handle not the servers.

YES! and a dual 580gtx wc'd with 16gb of memory on a 4.8ghz i7 ONLY running EVE and Mumble on the lowest graphics settings should NEVER lag, but last night I had several instances where the client completely locked up, greyed out, and had to be task manager killed.


It was borderline hilarious listening to the FC call out targets. He would call out targets, go get coffee, come back and call more, go put his kids to bed and come back and call more, and we would jerk around on coms while we waiting (30min per target) for everyone to die.

show me another MMO can handle 2000+ player fights without any lag

You do realize that CCP has one of the most advanced, complex, and powerful computer clusters in the entire gaming industry - right?

This should really be an axiom:

"As soon as CCP raises the concurrent player limit of a single grid to support N people, someone will try and bring in N+1, and then ***** because the server lags".

The issues you se are the result of human nature and player behavior, not any fault of CCPs. They could upgrade the entire cluster tomorrow to whatever the newest whizbang technology on the market is, and be full capable of supporting 4000 man battles, and next week someone would bring 5000 people and then ***** because it lagged.

show me another MMO can handle 2000+ player fights without any lag

I kinda have to agree to this, despite it being a rant. It would of made the live event in Luminaire more fun.

Plus who wouldn't want to see a cloud of 6000+ players in a battle?

The only lag should be what your system can handle not the servers.

If you call a gigantic blob a fight....

But then there would be complaints that the servers couldn't handle a 7000 player fight.

You do realise that 16gb of Ram is a waste yeah..

If only we could ban people of lesser IQ from posting.

Because EVE is the only thing I do on this computer.

If CCP cannot handle these battles all in one system then put a cap on these systems and force people to fight it out over many systems. MUCH better idea than TIDI *gag*

Distributed fighting over many systems > TIDI > Crashed CCP servers. (Since CCP can't buy servers to handle their loads)

haha good one. I agree, USA blows.

I take it all you guys trolling this thread LOVE tidi. Cool well this is the game for you then!

You really haven't put much thought into this have you...
If CCP put a cap on systems then there would be no reason to fight at all. The only thing you would have to do is log in as many alts in that system as possible and "battle won" without firing a shot.

I orgasmed three times while reading this thread.

The OP is a moron, but it still have a point: Huge battles are a pain.
Null Sec warfare need to be redone, to encourage lots of small groups in place of a single blob.
But we all know CCP, they just love their mindless sologanking and "epic 213907104802348 mens battle (on the same grid)".

YEAH CCP, YOU GUYS ARE SO LAZY AND AWFUL, YOU CAN TAKE YOUR UNIQUE AND REVOLUTIONARY PRODUCT AND SHOVE IT.

I think CCP was trying to save test's ass last night.

The engagement started in j5a and the node was reinforced at around 10pm - 11pm. No tidi and no lag with 1700+ in system.

When the CFC moved into b-d and test followed, it was tidi at 10% for 5 hours and test got to save j5a with no lag.

I have the same sentiments as the OP. Why couldn't CCP reinforce b-d node as well. Only thing I can think of is moral support for test, because we know the inevitable is coming and they don't want to hemorrhage too many accounts.
