So in other words, I didn't say that. Especially not word for word. Rather, I said that TiDi is a way to remove the lag that comes from the server not processing everything correctly.

No. Server TiDi is synchronised with client TiDi, which is a slowdown of the world simulation.

Yes I have.

The answer to what? I am not saying I know more than CCP, I just recognize the fact that time dilation is lag created by the server to make sure the # of disconnects are reduced.

You are the one/s trying to troll a response because of the lack of understanding, not me =)

And you say people responded differently to these events? Hard to imagineGǪ
Meanwhile, TiDi is a true remedy to lag. The problem you're having is that you're confusing GÇ£slowGÇ¥ with GÇ£laggyGÇ¥.

No you didn't.

What is the idea solution for running over the bandwidth of the I/O AND in concurrently driving your processing resources well beyond what they are capable of.

What is the "standard" that you used to call CCPs middleware substandard. To be substandard there was to be an accepted standard first.



......our lack of understanding when you can't use basic terms relating to computer operation.

Lag is lag, so yes, you did.

And the game does not create client TiDi

my mouse and keystrokes

Yes I have.

Tippia, are you aware of what lag means? I don't think you do.

......our lack of understanding when you can't use basic terms relating to computer operation.

When I can't? Of course I can.

The whole point when you educate someone, is to use their terms in a manner they can understand.

Such as time dilation being lag.

Not sure why you think that affected packet latency is as a term has anything to do with time dilation not being lag.

When I can't? Of course I can.

Such as time dilation being lag.

Oh Hell no. I want to hear you explain what lag actually is. Because I'm certain that Tippia does, and I'm also certain that you haven't a clue.



It does its just no longer aligned to real time


Now that definition, please.

Also, time dilation is in direct conflict of "real time" btw.

I think where the fanboys are getting obsessed is in defense of their holy matron they fixate on the term 'lag' as a somantic argument that avoids confronting the reality of gameplay suckage during large fleet battles...

So lets start again, with using more fanboy-approved terms like 'slowdowns' (and the ubiquitous 'suckage').

I have updated the blog post as well to be more fanboy (samantic-fixated-derp-meisters) friendly to what I am talking about as well...I am nothing if not flexible!

How as paying EvE users did we come to accept UI razzle dazzle and gimmicks instead of a true remedy to slowdowns? When did nullsec alliances give up the ghost, and like a victim of Stokholm syndrome buy into the notion that TiDi is some kind of answer to the rediculous fail of slowdown suckage on the single-shard, single-sandbox?

I don't get it.

Can someone explain this please? It wasn't so long ago people were burning Jita because of micro-transactions, yet now with increasing server suckage the response is 'meh'?

Again, no but thanks for playing.

Latency is latency, its the time required for packet transmission.

You are still way off on lag.

You are still way off on lag.

Oh, the standard is once I click a command or a module, I should be able to see that result in a timely manner.

Prove it. (You do know that latency is a rate measured in milliseconds which is what "time" is right? I don't think you caught on to that part).

And is there a game that does that with 4000+ players in the same area? No? Then the performance by Eve in TiDI -is- the standard.

I'm happy with the itterations that have happened in the recent updates. Would I like lag to be fixed? Yes. however it is not something that will happen overnight. Even then, the fight against lag will never end as long as eve continues to grow.

I already posted exactly what lag is, I'm waiting on you. You are still flailing.

Eh? So your solution is to simply double talk the fact that time dilation is lag created by ccp simply because there is no other way of doing it?

Just you saying "no" doesn't dispute the fact.

You asked for it, and got it. The burden has been met.

.

So far as that goes, I'm not sure the technology exists.

....and even if it does, I highly doubt that it is compatible with python.

Like I said, enterprise level hardware is my thing. Its what I do for a living.

Its finally sinking in.

Its not hardware, you aren't getting anything better, the Eve cluster architecture is a super computer.

So that leaves software/middleware optimization, and like I said real time dynamic loadsharing isn't a trivial undertaking, and anything done to the engine itself is a monumental undertaking.

But that is not in any sort of direct conflict with time dilation being lag. So again, I'm trying to figure out if you're agreeing with me or arguing, because we are on the same page.

Lag is the ability for a client-server, or server-client ability to keep up with a command from one source to the other.

For instance, If I'm hosting a game that you joined and I can see your actions faster than you can see mine, there is going to be lag.

Now, you mentioned latency, which I found funny, because latency is the RATE of which that lag happens, recorded in milliseconds (can vary actually).

That time dilation, which increases latency, is in fact, creating stability at the cost of "lag".

So I see we are back to any form of performance change is lag.

Latency is not lag.
TiDi is not lag.

Lag is what happens when the the interrupt queue exceeds the client update rate.

[
which is of course countered in eve by slowing the client update rate as not to overload the server. Thus, you have TiDi.
