Dear CCP
I believe the Kali release is way to early. After being on the test server and finding numerous bugs, quite a few cosmetic and some game-stopping, i believe that you are jumping the gun with the Kali release.
Sharkbait said only yesterday after the 2nd stress test that two major bugs were discovered that CCP knew nothing about, and please forgive me for saying this but i don't believe kali will be released in a hugely improved format to the dragon code.
I would rather wait two more weeks within which extensive testing is done on the new kali code and allot more bugs are found and fixed rather than Kali be released and have to go through an entire month of server-outages and constant re-boots to apply hot fixes to bugs not found.
Please re-think this release date.
Regards ________ Euphoria Released

You do know that those bugs most likely are in the TQ build as well, right? :) I dont think ccp would go ahead with this unless they knew that Kali is actually better than Dragon even with some bugs still remaining. So just relax. :)

Thats the point, good business ethics is not releasing something until those bugs are quashed.
As for Kali being better than dragon, well go on the test server and check the lag with 200 people, its not a huge improvement if any at all. ________ Euphoria Released

Even CCP has said that with any major release there are always new bugs found.
Maybe we should create a betting pool on the number of patches that will be issued in the month of December to deal with the new content.

People believe what they want to believe, i took part in that stress test and its not a huge improvement if any to be honest. Allocated nodes and the rest of it in the background.
There are still MAJOR bugs being found which in my eyes is great cause for concern and is the reason it should be set back a week or two. ________ Euphoria Released

Development -> Bugs -> Development -> Bugs etc. Its a natural part of software engineering tbh. And the game MUST evolve to stay competitive on the market, not to mention remain interesting for people to play. This means bugs as well as features. There is no way to eliminate it.
You know, even writing something as simple as Notepad means lots of bugs. Its inevitable im afraid. :)
People assume that if you just wait long enough, the bug hunters will find and eliminate all the bugs and THEN you can deploy it to TQ. If only it was that simple. Some bugs wont even be visible until they deploy it to TQ.

Oh i totally agree, but if i went to my business manager and told him the system i am updating for him may contain a major bug he would tell me to find any major bugs which may cause downtime or pack my things.
Updating the server with better software is one thing, updating it after finding two major bugs 4 days before the update is a totally different ball game. ________ Euphoria Released

I think the meaning of those bugs sound a bit exaggerated to us when sharky says "major". We interpret is as "critical" basicly... but I dont think its that serious.  --- Eve Wiki | Eve Tribune | Eve Pirate |

In the end i think its better if they release now. Regardless of what bugs remain. Once its on TQ with a full player base it will be easier for them to notice small bugs and fix them accordingly. They can only prepair it so much on SiSi, and as always the first few days of a new Patch are always bumpy... I say go for it, let the bumpy ride roll

Why do you think that you have better information about Kali code than CCP programmers? I am sure they don't want to have sleep-less week of fixing major bugs after Kali deployment, so their release date is realistic and Kali will be ready.

That is only last step of testing though (major testing is done by QA). If they thought the code needs more testing, they would do it. Why would they want to release it early? There is no special income from free expansion.

Lag issues aside (as already mentioned, the hardware sisi is running on is far inferior to TQ so lag is to be expected with 300 people in FD-MLJ) I hope the devs don't feel pressured to rush Kali out before christmas. Sure it would be nice to have all the new toys to play with sooner, but not at the expense of game breaking bugs that cause the servers to be up and down every 5 minutes and the game to be unplayable. I'd rather they spent more time ironing out bugs, testing the code further and especially spent some more time balancing things properly before a release.
In it's current state, I can't see how Kali can be ready for November 28th release.

well last thing i saw was that the autopilot was not working on sisi, so as long as they leave out the warp to 0 changes for now they should have no problem with the amount of petitions they'd get thrown at them if they did. them releasing kali early will allow more players to actually look at the new features and put the thumb screws on ccp to get them fixed

Its just a minor bug. The autopilot doesnt automatically update the route when you jump to a new system, but every time you open the map, the autopilot updates its route again and starts working perfectly. So all thats needed is that the client runs the "update code" from the map to fix it. That one will most definently get fixed - very easy to do so.

yeh, maybe it's lagging because Singularity is probably only using 10% of the dedicated hardware Tranquility is using.. SiSi always lags, no matter how much people are on it, it's because it's the TEST server... or did you really think CCP would spend millions to get SiSi up to the standards of TQ, while they are updating it 80% of the time? get real.
Seeing how they checked how patch deployment would go yesterday, it's clear that CCP wants to come prepared, and iron out a lot of bugs that happen during deployment before it actually hits TQ...
Let the developers develop.. unless you think you're a better developers than they are, in which case I suggest you to go mail your resume to ccp so they can hire you. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Xaroth Brook Brainiac of Doomcraft Member of R I S E

nice try sid, but u know whateva we post here wont change ccp¦s mind...
they have never released a nearly bugfree expansion - all have been disasters in fact. if i would play as much as i used to i would be worried maybe but meh..
after all i¦d be interested in the bugs that give me billions of isk, cuz i seem to be one of the unlucky ones who never finds those - dont hesitate to mail me if you know of some

Just like to say have you ever been to jita?, the lag with 200 people is becuase everyone sits in the same system rather than out testing other things like the auto pilot or random other stuff. Like they say in the little box when u start the game.. for better game experiance please spread out. I rest my bread. Smacktalking will only make your death slower.null |

The lag comes of the reason that they are not running on TQ hardware, but on SiSi hardware which is faaar from as advanced as TQ. They have however tested the build on TQ in its downtime periods. Internally, but still tested it.
I am sure it will be fine

Probably because Singularity has a FRACTION of the hardware that's running on Tranquility and when people are all blobbed up in one place it puts excessive load on the hardware.
Trying to guage performance in that respect to TQ is pointless.

Well a few things Sisi hardware is nothing like TQ hardware - so the lag being worse is to be expected - what you need to do is check what Sisi operated like under current code and then see what it is like under current code.
I have been on sis for the POS | gate stress tests a small whiole back when we crashed nodes and the lag was mental.. the current tests [I missed last nights ones] where better - this means to me that the new system is better.
When say fix the current problems - that really menas no new development at all - becuase you have to keep everybody on the old code base, Since the code has changed significanly. you have to move evey one to the new system then you can dovet all teh team to bug fixing on that version.

Niccolado, you are indeed correct SISI has less nodes (Older Equipment too), it hasn't got Ramsans on the DB's boxes, altogether SISI is underpowered for what can be thrown at it. Hence the limits on people access SISI during testing.
Performance testing is an art that has to be quantified into 2 different areas, both Functional (Does it work if I click this button) and Non-Functional (Will it support x amount of users). In regards to the performance of SISI and TQ calculations have to be performed on the results you garner from testing and then extrapolate for the increased TQ hardware and architecture. This is no easy process, and performing a full blended test of vUsers (Virtual Users) in this case a peak load of 31k users would be pointless on SISI without it being exactly the same kit and architecture as TQ.
So to just come to the forums adn cry 'The Sky is falling, it doesn't perform as well' is pointless and Scaremongering.

Well, the tests do tell them whether it will boot up with an appropriate database accessible. Just making the sisi database has also tested the conversion of the dragon DB to a revelations one. Sure, there's still a gap there for strange issues to sneak through with the TQ DB hardware, but it's a significantly smaller gap than if they hadn't done those tests.

The systems like FD-MLJ are all on dedicated nodes, go to a different system with 100 people and test the lag, one where a Dev/GM doesn't know about.
Others have already pointed out the hardware differences, but I would also add the differences in the monitoring software being run.
Sisi is going to be logged much more heavily than TQ. In the recent stress tests Sharkbait has talked about the server being monitored by 2 Devs in runtime, which suggests some pretty load-heavy monitoring tools.
The stress tests aren't really there to see how many people it takes to make things lag anyway - there's too much different about the operating environments of TQ and sisi to do that effectively. What they are for is to see what the server does when it gets to a high load - i.e. where are the cycles going, what's hogging all the memory etc. That isn't going to be at all obvious to the players, but will be very evident to the devs viewing the monitors. ------- There is no magic Wand of Fixing, and it is not powered by forum whines. |

Originally by: Sirial Soulfly If it would be up to the playerbase to decide when to release patches, nothing would be done.
And everyones ships would have an I-WIN button
Kali is alot better than the current TQ build, those of you asking for Kali to be delayed and TQ to be bug fixed before releasing Kali are just very short sighted. I guess you would be the sort of people that would love to have a car that is a total write off fixed before going out to buy your replacement car, purley because things must be fixed before they are improved.
Bug will always be present, so far with last nights stress test and my playing experience I have found no show stopping bugs, I have also not found any really annoying bugs either but I have seen some lag related bugs that dont appear when you get to another system, autopilot bug, map bug etc (I get the autopilot bug on TQ currently where it does not continue to gate).
I look forward to Wednesday and playing Revelations for real. It changes alot of things in eve that needed changing, changes things that didn't need changing and generally makes for a totally new game with some new rules. Shame the scammers are going to have a harder time scamming contracts rather than escrow. ----
God gave us a brain, he also gave us a voice.
Shame some people have yet to connect them.

Originally by: Gradinger they ¦ve tested it without the tq-database - so i think actually it wont prove much - but better than nothing...
Well, the tests do tell them whether it will boot up with an appropriate database accessible. Just making the sisi database has also tested the conversion of the dragon DB to a revelations one. Sure, there's still a gap there for strange issues to sneak through with the TQ DB hardware, but it's a significantly smaller gap than if they hadn't done those tests.
yea sure.. as said, better than nothing - and surely a step in the right direction
but they gotta convert the old db to the new structure, so they gotta fill it with quite some default values and also the tq db is sooo big i dont wanna know.
and i do agree with most ppl here, it¦s practically impossible to make the patch bug-free. millions of code-lines, ten-thousands of players, different hard and software - oh mammah :)
so there will be bugs and ppl with insane amounts of time will find some and make billions of it and i wont be one of em. but i guess thats just life. and its rather pure envy than a sense of fairness - so im quite relaxed ;)

In a nutshell 
A positive view on Revelation is possible too. like...
Marketing: We've got to get it out before Christmas! All the people out there who are off work and school, and who wants to play their favorite game: EVE!
Devs: Umm ye. We cant dissapoint those people, and Revelation is quite good, even if it still got some minor bugs... So lets do it!
Player Base: Oh bugger! Now I have to skip the traditional christmas family dinner again! Its sooo good I cant leave the game long enough to take a pee!!

I'm really liking your positive attitude Nicco. I'm in the same boat as a lot of other happy campers, yes it's coming, yes there will be a few bugs, but hey I get to play ti on TQ for real  ------------- EVE-CCG Order EVE-Ink Tattoo Project |
