Efraya DEEP-SPACE CO-OP LTD Narwhals Ate My Duck 30	Posted - 2011.11.09 15:09:00 - [31] - Quote DT is about 10 mins atm, which is one hell of a technical achievement. Excellent work CCP, keep it up! WSpace; Best space.

Tiberious Thessalonia True Slave Foundations Shaktipat Revelators 22	Posted - 2011.11.09 15:27:00 - [33] - Quote So in England and chunks of Europe it goes down duing business hours. Excellent! In the EST time zone where I am, it goes down at roughly 6am. Also Excellent! I am pretty ok with this, tbqh Also its only a half hour, and seems even shorter lately. Not a lot to complain about.

Will definitely take that into consideration and magically organise people to not log off for an hour with DT coming up. Great Idea. :)
Grukni Shimai of New Eden N E X O 18	Posted - 2011.11.13 11:13:00 - [35] - Quote DT is now less than 10 min long. While it's a big improvement, I hope hear from CCP that DT will be killed soon(tm).

Why don't people get the problem with DT? With DT you can't organise any fleet operation or fleet has to dispand with DT coming up. For people in the DT hitting peak play times this is a major problem. Its not the length of DT its the fact DT happens EVERY night. DT could be 5 min for all I care. Its the fact you have to stop everything your doing and start again. DT need not be more than a minor inconvenience. Your voice comms don't stop working, after all. If your fleets take more than 5 minutes or so to reform after being interrupted by DT, then you need to get better at organising people.

I expect them to do better. Let's see if the awesome winter expansion brings us more improvements on this.

With all the big changes going on, perhaps downtime is being looked at ? CCP HAS stated. CCP is A corporation, singular. The staff of CCP HAS...singular. The people of CCP HAVE...plural. Brought to you as a public service by People Against Subject/Verb Agreement Abuse. All rights reserved. When referring to a collective noun in this case, 'have' is actually correct, as the speaker is talking about a group rather than an individual. Incorrect: 'The police has stated...'. Correct: 'The police have stated...' Correct: "CCP [a group] have stated...' Also: 'CCP [a company] has stated...' This message brought to you by the Committee to Promote the Correct Use of English. Oh, dear. Back to the 'Correct Use of English' school you go. Police is a bad example, as it can be both singular and plural and the media don't always get it correct. The key thing to check is whether Police has a capital P or not. If capital, it's singular, if lower case it's plural. A policemen = singular The police = plural The Police Force = singular body that contains the police The Police = abbreviation of Police Force, so singular The police have stated... The Police Force has stated... The Police has stated... The Metropolitan police have stated... The Metropolitan Police Force has stated... The Metropolitan Police has stated... The Association of Chief Police Officers has stated.... Chief Police Officers have stated... CCP has stated... CCP employees have stated... TL/DR How many unique sources of the statement are there? If it's one, it is 'has', if there are multiple, it is 'have'.

They are about 4-5 five minutes away from 5 minute DTs and yet you expect them to do better? Seriously, the technical challenges on doing a single instance world and keeping it stable and working probably take a lot of effort and continuous updating to keep doing so. Being a QQ-bear about 8-9 minute DTs and complaining about them promising something from the dev blog? How much have they not promised in the dev blogs that haven't been implemented (no offense though, I quite like CCP and EVE), but complaining about something as minor as taking a **** break is just childish.

Things are bound to be different, get over it. Actually it's not but I can tell by your attitude there's no point discussing it. Cool can you tell us the name of the other MMO's that aren't sharded ? and have such a large online player base (as in in game at the same time) Just curious Tal I'm curious as well. Quote: There's actually a video blog about that in the works. Smile Excellent and unexpected news. I'll be looking forward to it. To kill the enemy and break their toys!

How do you organise people who don't want to stuff around and come back with DT coming up, especially when there will not be any targets for a couple of hours after DT. Further, I don't get why people who are not negatively affected by DT don't like when people who are negatively affected DT want the problem fixed. If DT doesn't affect your game play thats awesome, whats it to you if people don't want any more DT. ESPECIALLY when CCP have already said they are planing on getting rid of DT FFS!!!!! Its not like we're asking something that is impossible, CCP have said that is there plan.
Ammzi Imperial Guardians Blazing Angels Alliance 111	Posted - 2011.11.13 21:56:00 - [45] - Quote Downtime is only 8 min. long these days. Wtf are you guys whining about? quote CCP Spitfire "Hello Im Blue,"
Ranger 1 Ranger Corp 278	Posted - 2011.11.13 21:57:00 - [46] - Quote I'd be ticked pink if down time was able to be eliminated, and it doesn't affect me at all. Just as long as it doesn't affect game stability adversely for everyone. To kill the enemy and break their toys! It's not so much a mission statement,-áit's more like a family motto.

If you read the comments in the thread you would understand why people are excited that CCP is looking at implementing a feature they have already said they are working on.
