Skia Aumer Atlas Research Group 67	Posted - 2014.01.07 19:15:00 - [1] - Quote I'm not totally sure that drones are the cause for 10% tidi, but the fact is that for CCP it is not a priority to make nullsec blob fights fun and enjoyable. Look at CCP Seagull's Vision if you dont believe me. So if you desire for epic fights - you've chosen the wrong game. Nullsec dwellers are only about 10% of all EVE population, so it's not a problem for CCP if you all quit. Yes, there will be no Asakai headlines in newspapers, but whatever... they didnt want them anyway. Or did they? Also, for PL. I know you are quite dumb - down to a level to post "RUCK FUSSIA" in local - but I will help you a little. RUSRUS worst problem is the ridiculously strong spider tank of Archons, not the drones. And yeah, Goons conspiracy is real, no sh*t.

How do you know exactly that drones cause those lags btw? There are rumors that it has something to do with tons of crap in cargo. The unified inventory, when introduced, was a completely broken feature, and had huge performance issues. CCP did some quick urgent band-aid, and proceeded to creating shiny white ships. So imo these rumors look quite probable.

I like the diverse nature of damage dealing that drones provide. But it should be balanced of course.

Even if spider-tank on carriers is OP. Even in that case you can win. But Mystic Rebel is right - to actually win a fight, it should last some reasonable time, not the whole night long. I dont understand why those PL and NC dudes are against that proposal. Looks like they have nothing else to do in the night.

Cruisers can use Frigate sized weapons. Why break the chain? Sure, and Dreads can use BS guns. Now show me an idiot who does it.

Well CCP seems to disagree... They didnt say drones dont cause TIDI. Or did I read it wrong?

Skia Aumer Atlas Research Group 69	Posted - 2014.01.07 23:48:00 - [10] - Quote bp920091 wrote: TLDR: Remove sentry Assist or allow guns to be assistable Basically, you suggest to make drones similar to guns. I.e. to remove their flavor. To make the game more homogenous. And more dumb. Thus, I will not agree with you. Also, it has nothing to do with server performance and is thus offtopic.

I am sorry that you are outmatched in every aspect of this conflict other than Warm Bodies. I am sorry that 30 minutes of PVP takes 300 minutes under heavy server load. Remember you (RUS) wanted this war you (RUS) started this war and you (RUS) will now live with your decisions. Do you, personally, enjoy 30 minutes fights that last 5 hours? If no, why dont you turn to CCP and say: hey, those lags are crap, fix them. If yes... oh well.

If you try to abandon a 2nd set of drones it deletes the first set You see? It's not that hard when you turn on your brain and kick away those "grrr rusrus" thoughts. Manfred Sideous wrote: This simple change should address any concerns about the issue. However we will be back to whine threads soon enough over a new reason things aren't going someones way. Whining about lags is good, mkay? From blackscreening to TIDI, we have a progress. If we keep pushing, and CCP keep working on that - who knows, maybe some day EVE would be fun to play?
