Spamming the warp button has never been a 100% guarantee escape and it was definitely not designed to be so. In fact, spamming any button can cause client side lag. It may help you get the perfect timing right, it is just as likely to drown the client or your connection and make things worse. Well, one thing that is definitely true since Crucible is that the lag caused by "spamming" (I hit the warp button twice a second tops for pod escape, worked very well in the past) is that the client lags a lot more on quite a few situations. This is difficult to bug report, as it's not a single bug you can easily reproduce, but it feels a lot more laggy. And that would indicate a software problem that should be fixed, regardless of whether the "pod escape" is an intended feature or not. That, unfortunately, is something I cannot really go into as I simply lack the skills (not a programmer or QA person) to delve into this. I realize that bug reporting this isn't easy, but it is still the best way to get programmers to notice. What I can promise you is that I will keep an eye out for this (both as a game master and as a player) and will pass anything I find up the chain. okay, after pondering for a few moments on your view i have come to the following conclusion. Lag due to spamming may infact be possible but looking at the logs it was between 5 and 9 seconds after lossing the ship and being in a pod and being unable to warp the whole time, and again looking at the logs it states the reason as being already in warp. im sure a pod can align and warp in less than 5 seconds even with lag. This indicated a programming/software issue to me. state change problems? another thing, i had no clientside lag at the time of the incident, you only have my word for this though as i wasnt recording the fight due to 2 scorps decloaking and me thinking it was pointless :D on a side note: i had had the issue with session change simply not expireing before since cruicible, ive been sat on a gate for 3 minutes not being able to jump because my session change didn't expire, maybe another state change problem in the client? only relogging fixed the problem.

Yes I agree. The advantages that implants give in this game are high enough that ccp should explain how these mechanics work.
If they are just going to claim nothing has changed in this regard then I would like to see the numbers of pod kills/ship kills in low sec that support that claim. I know for sure that something changed for me and everyone I have talked to agrees. Was this due to my and everyone I talked to having and issue with their internet provider or local computer? Or did something happen to the client?

How do you do it?
It used to be that if you aligned and then spammed the warp out button before your ship blew up you would get out. That is no longer the case though. Make faction war occupancy pvp instead of pve https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=53815&#post53815

Sentient is right.
A car may be able to reach a speed of 200 mph on the autobahn, but if the roadway is congested and traffic controlled it may only be able to average speed of 20 mph. Since a packet is the minimal, easiest to transport element in the system, it's average transport time (velocity of information) is the very practical and useful representative speed of the system. While the control and data signals may propagate at "c", the system is stepped by digital clocks operating at a time base that is much, much slower than that. Your theoretical infrastructure speed of "c" is meaningless. Also - even the "c" number is wrong - there are many different materials in the system that propagate electrons slower than "c".

It is really explained by the word "spamming", which is never a good thing. Btw, this is true for almost all software. Even a simple text program will fall behind or filter out some commands when you mash your buttons fast enough, let alone a complex program like EVE.
My only advise is: do not fly what you cannot afford to lose. If your ship gets caught, your pod is in dire straights as well. It may get out, but it may go squish all the same if your attackers are paying attention.
In short - CCP never has bad programming. If CCP has bad programming it is working as intended.

Totally agree - definitely laggy at gates now. I'm also seeing 6/10 fail to jumps or dock because "you are cloaked". Funny how those advanced spaceship computers have problems flipping things on and off in time for a session change.

Kick the lawnmower if it doesn't start. It doesn't help, but what else can you do? Perhaps CCP can feed the hamsters so that they respond to command the first time.
Since the cursor partially covers the icon, making it hard to see if it changed state, maybe a sound feedback on the "click" would be reassuring that the client actually registered the action on the server side.

Confirming this is actually the problem... The session change between your ship blowing up, and you being in a pod... able to warp takes long enough (some of the time) for fast locking ships to point you |

So you are thinking that you can't warp out during the session change?
I think its clear that something changed in how this works because of the substantial increase in pod kills. But with no devs willing to talk about it I am not sure what exactly happened.
I'm not expecting ccp to admit the game is bugged or anything, but can we at least get some assurance that someone at ccp is looking into this? Make faction war occupancy pvp instead of pve https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=53815&#post53815

Yup, there is certainly some sort of issue there. It is only intermittent but then that's almost worse. The inconsistency is really annoying and has pretty much stopped me using decent pods in pvp because i'm just not sure how it's supposed to be behaving. It's kind of like having a random 1 % chance of your guns just not working. |

Upgrade your pipes. It makes other internet servers and routers immediately faster and increases their bandwidth as well.
But really - The bug is when your ship is destroyed and you're transfered into your pod. A lot of the time theres caching issues and i find now and then my harddrive thrashes for 5-10 seconds when my ship explodes.
The best way to fix it is to leave your ship in station and have it load the Pod mode/graphics etc right before you enter battle. If you've been flying around for hours, chances are the pod model/graphics have been dropped from memory |

RFC 2925 ( Request For Comment )
Ping and traceroute are two very useful functions for managing networks. Ping is typically used to determine if a path exists between two hosts while traceroute shows an actual path. Ping is usually implemented using the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) "ECHO" facility. It is also possible to implement a ping capability using alternate methods, some of which are:
o Using the UDP echo port (7), if supported.
This is defined by RFC 862 [2].
o Timing an SNMP query.
o Timing a TCP connect attempt.
In general, almost any request/response flow can be used to generate a round-trip time. Often many of the non-ICMP ECHO facility methods stand a better chance of yielding a good response (not timing out for example) since some routers don't honor Echo Requests (timeout situation) or they are handled at lower priority, hence possibly giving false indications of round trip times.
It must be noted that almost any of the various methods used for generating a round-trip time can be considered a form of system attack when used excessively. Sending a system requests too often can negatively effect its performance. Attempting to connect to what is supposed to be an unused port can be very unpredictable. There are tools that attempt to connect to a range of TCP ports to test that any receiving server can handle erroneous connection attempts. |

What do you mean upgrade your pipes? I don't think this is a lag issue. I very rarely have lag of more than .1 second. I have a ssd hard drive but I do have an older graphics card but I play on the low settings and it used to work fine until incarna.
So what changed?
Do you think the pod graphics are better and therefore taking longer to load?

It is not only pods which have been behaving irrationally after incarna.
It is ALL STUFF TRYING TO ENTER WARP. You randomly get stuck at warp phase accelerating forever. And no I am not talking about this old bug which has been bothering us for at least 5 years when you turn off mwd after pressing warp your ship is stuck in alignment process.
Sometimes you can be tackled sometimes not when initiatin warp. It's feels totally random. There's no logic and this randomness is way too much to be an accident.
I have been experiencing different kind of problems with this warp drive initiation thing after incarna and they are definetly nothing like old ones.
Case A: You are aligned and you press warp button your ship is flying over 75% but nothing seems to happen for some time until suddenly warp
Case B: You're tackled after hitting warp button, way before your ship hits 75% speed, but your ship still suddenly warps.
Fix thank you. Or explain how it works so we can predict when our ship randomly enters warp or does it get tackled or not. |
