Yeah pretty much

but right now More numbers > less numbers, which is why everyone has banded together.

Everyone tells that it is CCPs fault. How? Actually it is mostly players fault, risk aversion and bad choices.
When CFC blue up 3/4 of the null and attack the last few standing, ofc you will have a whole thingy piled up in one system. Add to it that you lag the hell out of a system by putting 2k subcaps in it before jumping in heavy things, the result you get are the lost capitals.

I am aware also that there can be some improvements. But nothing drastical can happen before the next gen technology appears or CCP put lots of time and resources into developing something that can crush this lag. But don't expect that because lot more powerful companies are for sure trying to solve this dilemma without a great success.

6VDT handled more than 4k. This should have survived this fight. Fights get bigger, CCP markets on that, so they should make it actually possible to do.

Is this a joke? Their servers run on single threads. While it's a single universe, it works no differently to interlinked servers. Essentially when you swap systems, you swap server. IRC pretty much does what EVE does and that ancient. 10 years ago, a game doing thsi was pretty spectacular, now, not so much. They need to bring their code up to standard and multithread it so it's less of a joke.

you (Null people) keep being sheep.

I could say you have absolutely no idea what a "thread" is, but instead I'll ask you where you get your information from.

Oh i wasn't aware the node crashed the other day. That sucks. Oh the node didn't crash?? You just jumped 700 Dreads into a grid loaded by some 2700+ other dudes...then you got upset because your dreads got pushed to the back of the line behind thousands of people, drones and possibly missiles or other ****.

Node survived the entire fight...its not CCP's fault that CFC Capital FC's are ******* retards...

Next time drop on the SBU and then warp into the engagement....worst case scenario you get forced into a DPS race and jump out.

This isn't a hard game. I mean **** you jump one fleet of a hundred dudes in any system and it causes **** to **** up...you did this onto a loaded grid, in a loaded node, with 700 dudes...come on man.



(Also comparing to 6vDT is cool...TEST and N3 cynoed in off of the station grid...where 7 Baltec fleets were waiting for them on the station....why would they jump in off grid....so they could load the system and still had hour long jump ins in some cases.)

I would have thought one goal for CCP would be to separate certain actions happening in a system onto a multitude of various servers rather than everything going onto a single server as I believe is happening right now. That way you could have one server operating for a number of low traffic systems, and then use multiple servers to split the work load for a system like HED or Jita.

The only way to improve this situation without changing the coding which I am sure would be a massive job, would be to either get even faster servers, or to change the sov mechanics so that it doesn't encourage blobbing.

Large fleet warfare is dead for me, and I have no desire to partake in it along with many others I am sure until CCP does something to resolve it.

Was HED by any chance on the same node as jita? we had a truck load of TiDi going off there. If so add another 2000 chars and some local spam.

By the way, too much swearing. No mad pls bro.

Is that you, Scott?

I am no Scott.

Ok, you just sound and look like someone I know.

Is his name Scott?

I may only be little, but..

What autonomy do the High Sec Empires give you by comparison?

The autonomy to think with your head? :D

Yes, I as a developer have no idea what a thread is.

I'm pretty sure it's common knowledge by now, but they posted about it like ages ago. Basically the servers run on single threaded stackless python or something along those lines, and due to that they have to work with single monster CPUs rather than distributed load.

How did you know...?

And this is exactly why I chose to be quasi-diplomatic instead. My apologies, but these past few days have been filled with people misunderstanding the concept of multithreading, giving multithreading the status of a silver bullet and overall just showing plain ignorance on the topic (I'm a developer here myself).

I was unsure if the multithreading issue was common knowledge or just people running around yelling about it like they've seen the server-side code. Google was less than helpful in this matter.

On the hardware side we have been somewhat hampered by the fact that the EVE server is largely a single threaded application and thus limited performance-wise by the clockrate of the CPU. In the past we-¦ve been lucky in that we have been able to rely on clockrates increasing year over year. Sadly that party is mostly over for now and the emphasis is on horizontal scaling with multiple cores. Bad news for fleet fights and olGÇÖ single threaded EVE.

I think the FC that said abandon drones and release new once just so the nod would crash should be banned.
They are not here to play the game, they are just here to ruin it with their ingame DoS attacks.
It is against the rules to drop so many cans so you create lag so dropping drones so you create lag should follow same rule.
