For those that don't know TIDI is short for Time Dialation. It is a part of the game that traps pilots in an an almost frozen like state of gameplay. As an example warping from one gate to another while TIDI is in effect can take several minutes. TIDI was introduced to EVE to combat the 'lag monster' which brought several non-memorable past battles to a standstill. It was CCP's way of saying hey we killed the lag monster. I had experienced TIDI running at 10% during the battle in FR-B1H that cost Black Legion many super capitals. Now with several expansions in EVE since TIDI was introduced nobody it seems cares about TIDI or the fact that the lag monster still exists. If the lag monster can never be killed and TIDI is to continue then please add this to the game. When TIDI is running in a system and falls below 50% or some reasonable amount then block pilots from entering the system until TIDI runs at a reasonable rate. If I was BL I would be petitioning ever super loss since they were trapped at playing the game at a speed of a tortoise while all the rabbits came flooding in from far and wide. |

No, you wouldn't. You'd be happy that the game was actually playable and that you had a chance of getting out of there as opposed to automatically losing all ships without any recourse because your client no longer had any input or effect on the battle.
GǪand even then, there would be no grounds for reimbursement GÇö lag never was; tidi even less so.

Confirming that the force which fills the system with trial alts first should win by default as nobody else can get in.
TiDi may not be the optimal gaming experience.
However what was here before TiDi was much, much worse than that.
I'd rather play the game at 10% speed than stare at the screen for hours not being able to play at all. |

I would gladly endure TiDi for the rest of my days, than deal with any of the lag that even a spontaneous 50v50 used to generate.
Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |

Oh god someone doesn't quite understand what tidi is and why its there.
Please can CCP just lock his client up for 2 hours then make him appear in a station.
The fight to stop lag is still ongoing, tidi just helps that. |

So you want regular, good old fashioned normal lag, huh? And maybe throw in some rubberbanding for good measure? That's what all the normal MMOs have, and all those other players like it that way! (Except that they don't.)
I swear, these forums are sometimes more entertaining than the actual game. (Oops - did I really just say that?)

Indeed, something needs to be done about the lag monster. Because it's monstrous.
We also need to kill Manbearpig before it can kill us.
edit: seriously though, TiDi is WAY better than getting lagged out, logging off, logging back in and fiding yourself in a station after getting killed and podded. |

I have removed some rule breaking posts and those quoting them. As always I let some edge cases stay.
Please people, keep it on topic and above all civil!
The rules:
3. Ranting is prohibited.
A rant is a post that is often filled with angry and counterproductive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and is helpful in development of the game and community. Rants are disruptive, and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise and clear manner while avoiding going off on rambling tangents.
4. Personal attacks are prohibited.
Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another forum user. Posts of this nature are not beneficial to the community spirit that CCP promote and as such they will not be tolerated.
5. Trolling is prohibited.
Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.

Fine, lets kill the lag monster once and for all...
We'll pass the hat around and get CCP the first ever Quantum Super Computer, not one of those finicky 8 bit ones, no I mean a quantum computer the size of the supercomputer/cluster they have Eve running on now.
Unless you're able to give them that kind of hardware, the lag monster is here to Stay. TiDi is the best way of reducing it's bite by letting people at least play the game instead of just having the whole thing explode in their faces.
Also, anyone with half a brain would know that any engagement with supercaps and titans will be escalated by other sides, so there will be hordes of people flocking to the fight, and TiDi will kick in. This is simply something you have to deal with as being part of doing something like this in the first place.

You really think no tidi would have saved those Supers? 
I agree with the issue, it's like CCP has said, we can't fix lag, so you'll all get it to the max. But all tidi did in that fight was make a 5 hour fight out of a 30 minute fight.
I too am excited about trading playability for more lag and shiny pictures.....:(

The truth is TiDi is good, VERY good, and it works well for what it's suppose to do. The issue is that the base hardware that nodes for EVE run on (solar systems) are outdated and CCP does not particularly like to upgrade them. If we had more powerful hardware, they could do something like a dynamic reinforcement system where heavy TiDi for more than a couple minutes could dump the whole solar system into a reinforced node. The reason that you have to request a system be reinforced ahead of time is because they only have a couple servers as powerful as the Jita node, so they can't afford to let an automated system tie up there VERY limited reinforced servers.
I've asked at EVE Vegas about upgrading their infrastructure and they quickly gave a roundabout answer that told us nothing :/ They don't seem to want to deal with that. |

I, too, am here to confirm that the OP has no idea what he is talking about.
TiDi is an optimal "quick fix" until the true combatant can be taken down, lag. Which is, and will be, a problem for some time.
TiDi is also responsible for the biggest "single arena" PvP battle, of any kind, in the history of gaming. So yea.
I would, like many others, prefer to play at 10% TiDi then deal with black screening, isk lost for no good reason, and all of the things that go with lag.
Is it annoying sometimes? Sure.
Before they put Amarr in a dedicated node, it was hellish trying to cross that system, on an every day route, in 10%.
In gargantuan fleet battles, however, it is essential at this point.
Once you realize what a joke everything is, being the comedian is the only thing that makes sense. |
