Which still isn't good enough for what they try to do with it basically

The very fact the fight happened at all is evidence that it does indeed work. TiDi is a technical marval and I for one love that CCP has returned to pushing gaming technology forwards.

Yes infecting 100's of other people with lag so you can have your lulz, very selfish defention of the way forward IMO

Please point out these hundreds and which systems they were in.

I think the hundreds were busy "having their lulz" -- it was a fight of, what, 1400 people?

I think favoring the 1400 over a few random people scattered around the various nodes is preferable here....

OH I don't know divide number online/number of nodes most likely =100's if not 1000's

You have no idea about how TiDi or nodes work or even what they are do you...

I don't know how many actual nodes are run no, but if there are 1400 people in a fight I would reckon it's fair to assume at least 10% of that (non involved parties) could be affected if they share the node (or nodes ?) with combatents

Or as I say CCP could have improved there infastructure, or you know even come up with a solution that DOESN'T impact other players.

But NO being the 'lets try this and hope for the best' kinda outfit they are they didn't.

Also would be interested to know your source for your node assignemt assertion

As for better stuff, do you have any idea how expensive a supercomputer is to buy and run?

Feels like a troll infiltrated this thread.

Yes looks like you slipped in just after me and Baltec where disscusing our diffrent viewpoints of the matter

Because the best solution to everything is just throwing more money at it right ?

As it seems, it does work...

But has detremantal effects to other players, so not really an ideal solution

Compromises have to be made sometimes, it's not like there is over 1000 ships battles all the time everywhere.

u so stooopiiiiiiid

Thanks for bringing something interesting to the disscusion

I didn't say there wasn't a problem before, or that this hasn't improved.

Or you know they could have addressed the fundamentals and made sure that large fleet fights aren't detremantal in any way to other players and done it properly IMO.

Curious how you would address the problem of increasing scale.

Let's say your answer is more nodes to achieve less systems per node:

Without TiDi the nodes crash anyway under the same load, making TiDi a necessary component of this method of fix.

Let's say your answer is 64 bit server codebase:

OK we bring 6.8k people to a future fight and without TiDi the node crashes anyway.

Let's say your answer is to disincentivize the formation of coalitions:

OK now more fleet fights happen more often, making TiDi a necessity as it becomes probable that there will be saturation on multiple nodes instead of just one (or in extreme cases two).

So I'm still wondering how TiDi is not a component of any valid fix you may come up with.

I am, along with computer scientists everywhere, on pins and needles awaiting your response to the dilemmas created by increasing scale.
