TEN MILLION a month isn't "little resources" troll, maybe you should relearn business 101?

Kid, 10 million dollars is less than WoW reels in a week.

When you see how gaming operates at the AAA level, it's more like 30 million a week (FPS games it's hand over fist dollars).

This is why CCP can't just sit on those behinds, they have to get their products looking good for potential players. With more cash, they can fund the projects and THEN you'll see the results.

There's thing thing, it's called the weekend, and it's that time where a lot of our development team spend time with their families after working long hours all week.

Did at any point anyone consider sending forces to B-D or elsewhere in the pipe to stop CFC reinforcements from arriving on the besieged node? Was CFC even aware of a regional theatre of operations outside of *PING* GET ME MOAR SHIPS TO Z9PP NAOW!" ?

Maybe it's been talked about, done, and I'm beating a dead horse, but it just seems to me that everything revolves around the timers, and everyone needs to be in one spot for the fight. No one seems to think about cutting off access in surrounding systems...I really wish I could log into the main eve news websites and read about multiple engagements in fountain that had a profound effect on the battle for a particular system.

You ******* ******. How about you stop talking out of your ass and realize, yes there was actually a fleet stopping reinforcements coming from B-D. Look up the killboards yourself.

Most kills had around 10 people on them, a few from CVA were in the 50s. All told, about 5-7 megathrons died, and maybe a few dozen celestis. There were at one point over 2000 pilots piled into Z9PP, comparatively speaking, there wasn't a concerted effort to keep CFC forces from coming down the pipe.

It's not the pipe, it's the mass.

CCP can't split it in manageable bites within their system. This is why they have to be on call to work voodoo to fix a problem their setup can't handle.

So spreading the mass around in the zone itself doesn't fix the problem, when the mass can't be deferred without closing things down or capping nodes as the alternative.

Have to offload it out of region, to nodes that aren't used much. That's not possible for now. In effect CRZ for EvE.

I'm not 100% on this, but I'm thinking systems aren't saved on nodes logically, like by constellation or region. At least, that's why I think people have been complaining about TiDi in completely empty systems that are no where near fountain.

You got it, there are usually 70 done odd systems on a logical node......they are in no way geographically related in game.

Which makes perfect sense when you are trying to spread processor resources.

If CCP wanted to REALLY improve server performance they should limit the size of fleets. MOAR fleets = MOAR FCs = MOAR Primaries = MOAR ships going POOF faster which should equal an increase in the battletimes removing players faster from the area and hopefully keeping up their hardwares ability to process the information.

Fleet Cap is what 250 players or so? The fleets i sat in seemed like this, "primary x", and then everyone shoots anything but them anyway. Why shouldn't fleets be cut down to like 50 ships or so. Then you'd have 5 fleets hopefully killing 5 ships at a time instead of the 1 they are hoping to kill now.

Of course i'm just a scrub and know literally nothing about how this stuff works, just a thought that seems to make sense.

But that doesn't need to done anymore.

Tech now is virtually connecting different servers, with system independent resources, in a seamless world.

Blizzard had to find a way to virtually merge servers without physically merging them. That's possible today, and with some nice benefits (especially for MMO 2.0).

CCP uses the model of physically connected servers, which has depended system resources.

Blizzard is using a model of independent servers virtually merged with independent system resources.

There's plus and minuses of each system, but Blizzard's model allows more flexibility with offloading.

It works nothing at all like that, but please tell me more about dynamic load sharing, not like I'm a computer engineer or anything.

The same problem still exists of the mass will always follow where the action is. Which just changes the mechanics of smaller fleets, with the same amount of players in the zone.

It's a hardware issue, fixed by hardware/tech (like Blizzard is doing it with virtually merging servers).

Once it is fixed, EvE can have some good things like dynamic big fleets, and CCP Falcon can sleep at night!

What doesn't?

Blizzard hasn't come close to fixing it, hence the cap on that outdoor PvP area in lich king.

Seriously, im not realy sure how serious you are, but, maybe you should go turn your computor off, leave the blue and red pills alone, its pixels !... there is like proportions to things, and i rather see this as a game, so if the game designers screw up my game, well id go outside, read a book , wait for them to fix it ?, and if i had my land scaper destroy my "digital" garden... you know, im sure you never made a mistake ?

There's thing thing, it's called the weekend, and it's that time where a lot of our development team spend time with their families after working long hours all week.

So a limit in the zone wouldn't matter, because they physically play on their own realm, but virtually connected to other realms.

Did you really just say someone does something on the internet physically?

As they say in carpentry: measure twice, cut once.

Considering the content, yep!

Go back to WoW. I'm sure you fit right in with the fairies and trolls and goblins or wtf ever those people roleplay.
