If so, I'm curious as to what their opinions are of the game's performance during fleet battles. I have to assume that at least one of them has crashed out and been forced to wait 10 minutes to log back in, or watched for 5 minutes for their mods to activate only to have the client wake up and they're in their pod.
Does anyone else wonder about this? Given that the future state of EVE seems to be more and more geared towards alliance-warfare and putting fleets closer and closer to each other, is there a plan in place for making the game playable on that scale?
Discuss.

TBH!
CCP should deny all their staff to be member of any alliance.
Ive been here since 2003 and imo ccp show more wub for alliances than normal corporations or lone wolfs.

Well I agree, this is obvious.
Ever since they implemented alliance-controlled sentry guns, it has been impossible to effectively attack an alliance's space without a giant blob.
With the new sovereignty system, it can take months to destroy an alliance's claim to a single system, much longer than the old 5 days, making it impossible for a small force to even make a dent.
And with the new changes to logging off: you blow up instantly when logging off in an enemy alliance's space. How is that fair?
Wait a minute...

This thread (my thread) has nothing to do with BoB. It has to do with server performance.

I don't care what alliance you're in or what ship you fly or if you really play a chick in-game. I just want to know if CCP thinks fleet battle performance is acceptable at the moment.

Edited by: SGXiphias on 28/06/2006 17:40:47 they dont lag, Every GM and BoB member has an oc-48 connection that pipes all there data directly to the server room. All courtesy of the GM's
On a more real note, im sure the GM's have had laggy fleet battles. But theres nothing you can really do at the moment. I think that the redesign of the clients will help that overall fleet lag by finding someway to balance whats clientside and serverside and such.

You make it sound like it's a fixed problem where we can sit back and say, "yup, this is solved". If we increase the performance, someone will usually come along with a bigger fleet(tm). Performance is always something we look at, and there's more improvements scheduled for Kali.

I'm more curious as to what the long-term point of arrival is for you guys and where you see yourself on that timeline at the moment. Do you feel like the hardware should be able to support 200ish players in a system? Do you think the client should be able to handle that many players on screen today? Is there any analysis being done in the fleet events reported every day on the Corp Discussion forums?
I think some of us are just looking for something a little more concrete than "whenever Kali gets here" because we were told the same thing about the massive hardware upgrade. What is the data showing? Inquiring minds wanna know =P

Does anyone else just love the name "Redundancy"? makes me lol every time :P
There's no question that the devs or GM's who play will most likely be completely aware of how every so often server performance takes a head dive, doesn't really need a thread tbh

Obviously you do care what alliance they are in, otherwise you wouldn't have titled the thread "Are there CCP employees in big alliances?"
If you didn't care you'd have asked, "Is CCP aware of fleet battle performance issues?" and the answer would have been "Of course they are." -- Lil Miner Newbie Skills Roadmap | Visual Building Guide (Both work in game too!) |

They've admitted that there are Devs and GM's in alliances.
They deny that this could cause any bias.

Gee I wonder why I said that? Maybe because the performance threads never get any responses while the alliances threads get plenty of responses. Unless you are in a 200-man fleet fight you aren't seeing the kind of lag I'm talking about, so thanks for checking in.

Your argument is silly, because the devs are screwed either way there.
Lets say a dev mines. "OMG CCP FAVORS THE MINERS."
Lets say a dev is a carebear in empire. "OMG CCP FAVORS EMPIRE CAREBEARS!"
And so on. No matter what a dev does, they will be accused of being biased towards that. They're stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Please stay on topic in this post. It is not about BOB, it is about fleet battle lag. If I am correct, BOB is not the biggest alliance and other big player may also suffer from fleet lag.
