huge lag
server nearly locked up
most people who tried to log in couldn't
test was a VERY limited number of people only, even if it was announced it's going to be "all you can come, come"
lagged even more for those present
then it eventually ended
nothing special, nothing unusual
just a lot of angry people who say they won't even bother trying to volunteer for a test again

Well that is pretty dumb.
I guess people just want stuff to be broken so they can whine all the time.. otherwise they would be happy to test and help solve the problem.

All depends on how you look at it.

Hi, I am a customer. I exist as a concept wherein I trade monetary units for goods and services.
Or to be simpler: I don't pay CCP to test their own game for them. If I help with that it's purely a voluntary use of my time because I enjoy their product.

If they wanted people to log in to test server load, I think they succeeded quite well, lol.

I'm glad that CCP gave an opportunity for all EVE subscribers to experience, even for a little bit, the great fun that is the large fleet battle.
EVE's dealing with large fights is criminally bad. It's a crime against nature. Like the Matrix, you can only understand how abominably, horrible, disgustingly awful it is once you've seen it.
If CCP ever manages to get their **** together, they'd make dealing with lag their number one priority instead of wasting man hours on garbage like heat and station avatars and god knows what else absolutely useless features no one in the playerbase wants but that they're devoting their time and resources to because the devs are acting like a LAN party gone bad and just want to implement what they think is "cool" rather than actually make their game playable. |

I'm in the playerbase and I want "station avatars", so this paragraph contains at least one error. I think it contains others.

If you couldn't fly a capital ship you wern't very useful which is why you might have been turned away
second it was a pos assult not an outpost like it sounded like in the annoucement. and it was an Uber Minnie contol tower which we only managed to get to about 30% shield in about 30 of shooting. and of course there was the horrible lag which made reloading very fun for us non laser users
lets just sum it all up by saying that the CCP person running it got dissconceted a few times

What is the best test :
- 100 people from CCP testing server load and stopping all other work they do ? I don't even know if there is that many people there. (therefore, it doesn't take into account the
- asking other people for a real test ? which takes into account every single problem that might happen for real afterwards in game ?
Let me see the difference for a server load test.
- them testing : all people from CCP stop to work to test a problem. I don't think I have to explain how that is a problem,
- the computers in a computer firm have 2 main characteristics : they are use by professionals (opposed to randomly clueless or pro people for a real test), and there usually there is a given number of different computer configuration to test in a computer firm (opposed to thousands or more possible configurations for a real people test),
- the server load takes into consideration the number of people involved, and guess what, there is less people in CCP than in the outside world,
- if only people from CCP test, other lag causes will be overlooked. Like, lag caused by playing in a country 14000 km away from CCP servers,
- if you don't want to help people doing what they clearly cannot test (server load), you don't have to.
Next time, think a little tiny bit before posting.

CCP, this game isnt a dam beta version, you want people to test your software for you for free then you should at least offer a form of payment, maybe reduced monthly charge or some fanboy merchandise junk sent to them, if i wanted to be some developers pawn then i'd go apply to one of the many beta versions of various games that are out there on the internet.

if you feel like that, stay out of test events like the sunday's event. some people are quite happy with helping the dev's

Hello!
Ships have crews, most pod controlled frigates do not, above that they have crews of varying sizes. Hope that helps.

Well from what I saw during the test the lag was terrible to say the very least, and if that is what it is like when there are 100 - 200 or so ships firing at the one thing then I would hate to see what it would be like if there were 200 on each side all moving around firing at different targets that also have armour reps, shild reps etc etc going.   
I think what one of the other posters said is right though CCP should work on making the game playable for people in BIG fleet battles before they go adding avtars in stations etc. because I think the big fleet battles will draw more new players than being able to walk around in a station for $14.95US a month. (there are plenty of free games that allow people to do those sorts of things if that what people want)
I have found EVE to be a good game with a hell of a lot of potential and I think that if CCP moves to make big fleet battles playable fo the majority then the player base will grow a lot more than it currently is and that in the end can only be a good thing if CCP also continue to upgrade the servers etc to handle the new loads...

we have been over all this before each time they do a big patch it takes a month or two to fix large scale bugs wwe get sisi large tests each time ( last time it resulted in wtz. Buddy lists being changed and a hoast of other changes) helped it for a while until they added more stuff and now it needs tweaking agian)
