Isaac Orion Dreamscape Sparta Alliance	Posted - 2007.02.26 15:06:00 - [1] I was there. At least for the insta DD occurrence. For the record: 1)There was ONLY ONE TITAN in system. No other capitals anywhere near the area. 2)No capitals of any sort jumped before or after the DD occurred. 3)Titan was safespotted. Thus he had to lock onto the cyno to deploy the DD. Since he was safe spotted, it should have taken him more than 3 sec for the DD to happen through the cyno. The events happened like this..... Someone started to say "cyno" on TS. Before he/she finished trying to say it, the DD went boom. All reports say the time between the cyno field appearing and the DD going off was less than 3 seconds. If it is an exploit or hack, time will be the judgement. If this is a bug, CCP PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!! This puts non-titan pilots at a serious disadvantage. Titans have been in-game for how long? And this "bug" still exists? Can a DEV or GM please enlighten us as to the cause of this happening? Or at least say that you are focusing on fixing it! -------------------------------------- Recruitment Thread
Isaac Orion Dreamscape Sparta Alliance	Posted - 2007.02.26 15:12:00 - [2] One other question: Has anyone tested the time it takes for a titan to lock onto a cyno field? Either on the test server or Tranq. If so, please enlighten us as to the minimum time it takes. Thanks. -------------------------------------- Recruitment Thread
Isaac Orion Dreamscape Sparta Alliance	Posted - 2007.02.26 15:14:00 - [3] Originally by: Kittamaru How many people were in the node at the time? It is seriously starting to sound like lag... almost sounds like the cyno guy popped it open, soon as he did the Titan started locking it- possibly someone had remote sensor boosters on the titan to help? The Titan finished the lock and bewm. In the mean time, the lag of having a couple dozen ships around made the cyno take time to load up on your screen. And once it did, poof. A possibility? shrugs I unno, never even SEEN a titan or a DD< much less used one. I believe there were only about 30 pilots in system when the DD went off. In the grid where the DD went off, there were about 7-10 ships. That's it. If that few of ships cause 15 sec of lag unexpectedly, we have a problem. Again, the titan WAS in system. -------------------------------------- Recruitment Thread
Isaac Orion Dreamscape Sparta Alliance	Posted - 2007.02.26 15:17:00 - [4] Originally by: Turin Shroud The doomsday EFFECT goes off instantly however the damage isnt dealt till the end of the DD cycle, so it instantly appears at the cyno but you have to wait 15 seconds to recieve damage. You obviously don't understand how dd's work so i suggest you study up before screaming exploit! bug! deV! Please further enlighten us. Questions: 1)The DD effect goes off. Damage dealt then, or after 15 sec? 2)I have pics of the DD effect, but no damage dealt when the DD starts. 3)If I have another question, I will not hesitate to ask for answers. -------------------------------------- Recruitment Thread
Isaac Orion Dreamscape Sparta Alliance	Posted - 2007.02.26 15:19:00 - [5] Originally by: Turin Shroud YOU DONT NEED TO LOCK THE CYNO SHIP TO ACTIVATE THE DD. You right click the name in gang chat like you would a cyno to jump to and you click to activate the doomsday. The effect then goes off at the cyno and 15 seconds later the damage is dealt Well, everyone who was at the DD site, said it was less than 3 sec from the time the cyno appeared to ships going BOOM. Thus, there is a problem. It wasn't 15 sec like it should be. -------------------------------------- Recruitment Thread
Isaac Orion Dreamscape Sparta Alliance	Posted - 2007.02.26 15:28:00 - [6] Originally by: Turin Shroud My guess would be they were too busy going "wtf is that" "whats that up there" for the first 12 seconds ITS A DOOMSDAY Guys warp out! and then 3 seconds later your all dead Go ask to test it on SiSi i am sure you will see nothing is bugged your guys were probably just not on the ball/paying attention Nope. We aren't stupid. With a Titan in system, we knew the instant we saw a cyno, we had to warp out. Well, that instant came and went and less than 3 sec after on everyone's screen, ships went BOOM. Like I said, we aren't dumb. We knew what we were up against. -------------------------------------- Recruitment Thread
Isaac Orion Dreamscape Sparta Alliance	Posted - 2007.02.26 15:35:00 - [7] As a side note, I believe the original thread post mentioned a previous DD activation earlier in the day. It happened in the same system, but the titan was on the grid when he activated the DD. Nothing out of ordinary there. We only lost 1 BS and 1 frig in that DD. The problem occurred with the DD through the cyno, where we lost multiple ships. Coincidence? -------------------------------------- Recruitment Thread
Isaac Orion Dreamscape Sparta Alliance	Posted - 2007.02.26 15:39:00 - [8] Edited by: Isaac Orion on 26/02/2007 15:39:57 Originally by: EMTsNightmare doesn't a doomsday device have a cool down of an hour or so? Regardless of all other acts he talks about, if in fact it was the same titan (pilot could have swapped titans?) then it seems like the time line makes the DD's firing much quicker than an hour apart. No, the second DD activation occurred over an hour later than the first. The DD had plenty of time to cool down. edit: If you look at the BoB killboard, the killmails show the same titan pilot, same titan ship, same system, over an hour apart between DD activations. -------------------------------------- Recruitment Thread
Isaac Orion Dreamscape Sparta Alliance	Posted - 2007.02.26 15:48:00 - [9] Originally by: Greenwing Maybe just a lag spike ? If the cyno activation command was send and received by the server but only 10secs later it was send to all players you would only have a few secs to warp out. But the only way to really know if something wrong happened is to petition it and ask the devs if they can find anything. Like I said, that could be the case, but that is a serious lag time for such few players in system and on the grid. We are in the process of petitioning it and will be awaiting to see what the DEVs/GMs conclude. -------------------------------------- Recruitment Thread
