if you enjoy killing 1 ship per 20 minutes then 6VDT is for you
Tidi is ******* ****
I log off, log back on after an hour of waiting at the login screen, only to warp 1au off station, loki lands next to me, I sit there trying to warp for 5 minutes straight then get pointed.

Watch that stream!

It's a cool service nothing to say about that, but its as annoying as being on the battlefield, 5min to target whatever, 5other minutes for weapons to get active etc.

How can someone find this amazing, interesting or fun to watch a screen with red/orange dots, no clue on what's happening or be on the field and do nothing but fight with your screen and binds for whatever action for minutes or hours?

If only TiDi could be kept at under 50% ok, things would get interesting but 10%? dudes you have no clue what it looks like to fight under those conditions, its pure masochism and stupid.

Without TiDI the cluster would have crashed and we would all be trying to rage login.

This is better.

Some people prefer the crash I guess.

What people ought to realize is that Eve is really a turn-based game where the turns usually occur very quickly.

You know what, I'm kind-of not surprised you need TiDi. Even if you could make the back-end fast enough, you've still got to broadcast all that data to thousands of clients, and you don't have the budget of the NSA to do it with.

Inferno Rage Torpedo, meat Sovereignty Structure.

I've seen write ups on how to get a single quad core FreeBSD web server handing 200k connections and 100k requests/sec while pushing 10Gb/s.

Not an easy problem, but still possible with current hardware.

You are aware that EvE's backend code is single core?

And hopefully you are aware that the physics engine running the simulation is slightly more complex than a web server.

It's the lesser of two evils... try not to confuse that with "better".

I was chattin' with some buddies earlier and I've mentioned this once before, but this game would be better if CCP could come up with some way to force or encourage fights to happen in multiple systems simultaneously, making FC's split their forces, thereby reducing strain on individual nodes. It would make EvE look alot better to potential players by having fast paced action being covered in multiple systems, rather than having people look at the stream of a single overloaded system and after 10 minutes of seeing the same colored squares sitting in the same location closing the link and writing the game off as a boring POS.

You mean instancing? GTFO. Now.

No, I mean coming up with a mechanic to force fights to happen in more than one system simultaneously.

yea f **** the sandbox, fast pace action is a priority. If you want fast paced action this game isn't for you. I recommend call of duty.

All of CCPs setup is based off of military mainframes from the early 90s.

It's not like they haven't changed sov mechanics before in an attempt to make it less boring. I'm just pointing out an inevitable truth, staring at immobile colored blocks for hours is not the kind of impression you want to make to potential players when touting your sandbox.

Physics? EvE has that.. :)

I agree with you. I believe it would be more fun for all parties involved, to see a multitudes of smaller fights happening in various regions and on a more frequent basis instead of having "occasional" large fights like we had yesterday. Sure the size of the fight was epic and it is fun to say "I was there" but...the "experience" of the fight in such slow motion... it was just horrible. This being said I am certain CCP will never change anything in that regards so I guess we need to learn to live with it, play in an other area of the game where smaller fights are more common or simply....play another game.

Congrats to CFC for their win. They deserve it!

Watch those streams!

thanks. alliance tournament was a lot more interesting

As long as you have to grind through multiple millions of hitpoints of iHubs and stations we are stuck with this.

You can drive by but everyone knows when the next timer is going to be. Everyone has been screaming about the SOV system since Dominion.

Pretty much this.

Someone who has no clue about Eve what could he possibly think about the game after looking at that stream for 15mins?

How would someone get interested for a game when the only thing or bit of experience he can get from whatever stream is immobile red/orange dots and money/isk begging ??

Link me a screen of whatever game with immobile stuff and a guy blahblah how awesome it is and I'll make sure I'll never subscribe or receive any offer from those RL scammers.

It can be done, but the setup may highly specialized and not be very flexible.

The other side of the problem is getting a group of people who can not only program, but design servers and understand the entire network stack while architecting the software and hardware at the same time.

Not an easy problem, but still possible with current hardware.

Ani couldn't zoom in because his computer would have caught on fire.

Only a brownnoser would think this was better......
People watching it said it looked liked a powerpoint presentation. No one would want to be in a battle like that unless they had too.

If only there was a free trial or cool ads for this game so people didn't have to rely on twitch to get all of their info on this game.

The stream that isn't offline is really great.

I especially like the kitten with the headphones on the bottom left - was too scared to look at the rest due to fear of a cerebral haemorrhage.

The servers aren't single cores, only their code is. Coding serial code seemed fine back in 2000, but is bad for the new many-core era. They need to re-work that.

Why can't they just do massive de-buffs when a system population reaches a certain level, similiar to Incursions, to discourage mass blobbing? Fights would be much shorter with a -80% to shield/armor/hull.

Dray

stop zerging and go with 2 fleets of 100 each and there will be no tidi and everyone will be happy, may the best fleet win.

Quantity has a quality of its own, and thus raw numbers can make a fleet "best".

Because it wouldn't discourage it, since the effect presumably applies equally to either side. It would also be highly gameable, with T2/T3 comps finding a counter of blobbed T1 comps that don't rely on resists as much as they do raw HP.

As to the central point, I agree CCP should make it so capturing multiple systems at the same time is advantageous, because in such a system the larger force has a much more pronounced advantage and we'd have ran over fountain in a week.

No wait, that's a ****** idea.

My 10 man corp is going to fight the CFC, it's ok! We have a 100 stack of tenactiy!!!!!!

Actually, by my calculations, Harry Forever should be able to solo all of EvE in a stock ibis.

so.... August 1st. Did CFC flip that system or not?

Station is now named FA shot last

TEST alliance, best alliance......and all that.
