sitting at the gate and giving yourself RSI isn't a reason why a bad system shouldn't be improved upon.
i don't really get why people are so upset when people want to improve areas of the game but if you guys want to carry on playing the game in it's current state; go ahead and actually play the game instead of reading such horrific suggestions like making things suck less!
You can't tell if undocking is going to end badly for you or not, either. Let's nerf that. Idc how.
Also, you don't want to improve the game. You want to buff your playstyle, at the expense of someone else's. At least that's what the OP wants, anyway.

There's nothing wrong with what's going on. It's much the same as crying about TiDi. If there were a better solution, it would be there by now. That one, single system already uses 1/4th of their system reinforcement, do you expect more? All this trying to justify not going elsewhere, truly baffling the lengths to which some will go to be lazy. i'm well aware that this "solution" is the best we're going to get. i have no issue with the fact that it's closed. i have an issue with the fact that there's no way to determine if you're going to land on the gate and jump, or land on the gate with your thumb up your ass. if you could tell which was going to happen, the terrible solution we're stuck with would be more tolerable. just because it's the only solution we have doesn't mean we have to put up with it being implemented in a god awful way. You can get a pretty good idea of whether you will or not with some fairly basic tools. If you want more than that, get devhacks. The fact of the matter is, that if you choose Jita, that's a risk you get to deal with. And it certainly is not enough of a problem that we have to make autopiloting halfwits completely invincible because they can't be assed to click the gate button more than once. autopiloting has nothing to do with this -.- you shouldn't even have to click the gate button more than once, giving yourself RSI shouldn't be a requirement of entering jita. this is my entire point, the way the solution has been implemented could be vastly improved. sure it's not worth the time or effort to actually fix it, but that doesn't change that it's **** and open to improvement.
It's Not Broken.
The gate is doing exactly what it is supposed to do. The people jumping in and out of Jita are the problem not the ******* gate.
This thread was started nearly a month ago. There have been countless others before this one. There is NO developer solution aside from taking everyone's **** out of Jita IV-4 and jettisoning it out in random parts of space in one of the neighboring systems. If people can't be bothered to take their **** somewhere else, they deserve to be ganked or otherwise fondled on the gate.
No one has to sell or buy anything in Jita - there are 3 other trade hubs and for crying out loud you can sell your **** and buy **** in any system in the entire universe. There is no law preventing anyone from selling outside of the highest trafficked system in the universe.
No one has to freighter their **** in to or out of Jita - They can contract it to another person or organization, with a collateral payment, and make some other poor sod sit on the gate.
If people just stopped jumping into and out of Jita, there would be no problem. But good luck trying to get anyone to stop doing it, They will, like you, demand changes and wonder why they can't get in. Then, in all their intellectual glory, they'll come here and pound their impotent fists on the table because it's got to be CCP's fault.

yes you can tell if it's going to end badly; undock and dock up before the invulnerability timer runs out.... that was a bad example on your part.
wanting gates to actually work isn't a buff or nerf to anyone's play style.
i have been calling a spade a spade; the system to get in to jita is ******* horrible and could easily be improved. |

clicked jump on the jita gate. didn't jump me in to jita.

sure i understand why. that doesn't change the fact that when i click jump, i don't jump. just like i know if i take the engine out of my car, it won't work. knowing why it's not working doesn't change the fact that it's not working. |

Really genius?
Here is your suggestion of an improvement.
Have a pop up telling you Jita is full. Did I get that right?
So how often do you want the servers to query the database on the population in Jita as it relates to the population cap to know whether to display your beloved pop up or not? Let's just throw some infrastructure resources at that so Dave Stark can feel good about Jita.
Should we have this for every system or just Jita? We might as well have separate queries per tick for every system just so some poor dipshit freighter pilot doesn't get ganked on a gate outside a heavily trafficked system, right?
OR---
Stop going to ******* Jita. "Grr Kimmi-á Nerf Chans!" ~Jenn aSide

Your first post was you claiming that you should be able to find out with certainty whether or not you would be able to jump, before you got on the same grid as the gate.
Which is, again, not an improvement. It's just asinine to suggest that you should get such absolute knowledge without having to do anything for it.
Other than that, all you've done is white knight for the OP, who is undoubtedly a troll. Agreeing with him is, again, not an improvement to the game. It's suggesting a buff to the OP's playstyle at the expense of others. Not posting on my main, and loving it.-á Because free speech.-á |

if the game could actually cope with all the players, we wouldn't need it at all because we know it'd work 100% of the time. the game not coping with the amount of players isn't a reason for something to be bad. |

i haven't claimed once that the system isn't working as intended. i have however claimed that how they are working could be greatly improved upon. however apparently screaming at me "THEY'RE WORKING DUMMY!" is the answer to "hey guys, we could make this system suck a bit less." |

So, you're suggesting that, before anyone, anywhere, warps to any gate, that the client pings the server to see if the gate is locked or not? And that this information be available on demand, yes?
If so, why not just put the entire game into 10% TiDi and call it a day, because that would triple the server load instantly. You are literally asking CCP to DDOS themselves.
This is why people with "suggestions" need to shut the **** up. Because they can't see past their own nose, see past their cute little problem into how the game really works, and why. Not posting on my main, and loving it.-á Because free speech.-á |

Do you have any idea how much additional processing on single cores a query like that would take?
You're asking CCP to move mountains with a spoon.
And the reason you're asking them to do so is because you CBA to go somewhere else.
I've never seen anything so ill conceived and dumb.

no, i've just suggested that you should be able to tell if the gate you're trying to go through is closed or not. i haven't made a single comment on how that should take place.

Dying because of lag in any form is annoying though - even if you should know better.
I wouldn't advocate a protection zone around Jita, but it could be modified to encourage the use of adjacent systems.
Weekends are a joke atm, and given the % of players online and shopping at the weekend, it's only hurting the wider game that they experience this level of frustration getting in/out.
Maybe it's worth putting the constellation into a wider supernode and encouraging tertiary hubs around it to distribute the load? The adjacent systems could be moved into new regions, or treated as identical to Jita now. It'd widen the market and allow competition, and it wouldn't hurt pvpers to be able to fight across various systems and wider choke points.
At the moment Jita seems to be the server testing area, but it's clealy broken to the frustration of a lot of people. What's wrong with considering new ways to fix it as opposed to hardware upgrades? - |

You've specifically said that you want this information before you get on the same grid as the gate.
Or are you just suggesting they wave their magic wands and make it so that isn't a massive drag on the server? I mean, if your suggestion has merit and you aren't just stomping your foot with your lower lip sticking out, then you have a concrete idea, right?

the jump button not working. and jita not letting you in because it's full and that's an intended effect are two different things. so no, i didn't say that at all. |

EVE Online is not a twitch based game. It's slower, more thoughtful and requires players to plan ahead. You need knowledge based intelligence to survive and prosper in this game. This means scouting via the starmap, checking intel channels and knowing what your choke points are when hauling.
Why is "Knowing that Jita is a heavily travelled, reinforced node with problems during US peak times over the 4 day weekend period" any different to using the starmap, checking intel channels and generally knowing what is going on in the game? |

This mechanic already exists. If you warp to the Jita gate in Perimeter and the Jita system is full, you get a popup that says, "Jump Prohibited" because the system is full.
Working as intended. I'm so glad we got that sorted.
