I see you have no idea that EVE runs on a supercomputer...

Time Dilation Sux

Does your training time slow down from TiDi?

Just wondering if that is why the OP is so dense.

Ok, so i know there is a massive fleet fight going on with NC. and the Goons, but please how is this a feature.
the basic game play is effected 30 jumps away, sent Petitions got told to post on the forums

Flame suite On

Or for example when you try to say I am using strawman fallacy and that does not work you can then simply use character assassination fallacy and pretend like "you won the arguement".

Its quite the internet rage.

I am not misrepresenting his position whatsoever. If the server was not lagging pre Apocryoha, then this time dilation cannot possible be "the most amazing god damn thing ever." If the server was lagging then, then everyone who said it wasn't is full of ****.

Two conditions in an argument can be true, but not 2 opposite conditions.

Complaining about an interim solution because it is not yet the final solution is pointless.

Essentially I was complaining that if they hadn't invested so much in 'gambling' on new products this interim solution would be a final complete and fully workable solution already.

Also not entirely sure the assertion, we would still need Tidi is entirely true but I don't think anyone but the devs really have the data to asses that problem in it's entirety.

Other projects are not a factor in this equation...

Oh you say a massive rewrite of the fundamental code would be required , how massive is that , probably less than writing 2 new games from scratch I'd imagine.

By your logic it makes sense to put all expansions on hold for a few years so that EVE can be rewritten from the ground up.
.

as well as expanding their portfolio to remain financially solvent.

You seem to have followed my logic incorrectly, IMO it makes no sense to heavily invest in other projects that might never make $1 in favour of your 'cash cow' , feel free to continue to be obtuse and try and put words in my mouth though

Also



Recent staff cutbacks seem to indicate that this is whats threatening there solvency, but thats an entirely diffrent disscusion

/edit you also seem to misenterperate my position in your last paragraph as well, this specific case is an example of a more general problem IMO, not that this specific case is the entire problem

Everyone else playing who is inconvienced... Tough, suck it up or quit...you game time isn't valued by many in the EVE community...[/b]

They can TiDi with us or we can go back to the old days where they'd crash with us.

Maybe in future we need gank squads to go to systems that are TiDied and kill people there.

It's a matter of geometry.

Scales increase, therefore we need TiDi. You don't necessarily have to believe it, just try to understand that if you make a box twice as big, it can still be filled. If you make it twice as big again, it can still be filled, and so on.

In this analogy, the box is the maximum threshold at which the server stops receiving all the module queues and they start to accrue. The substance filling the box is the modules queuing. What TiDi does is stretch the box's dimensions on the fly. That's the genius of it: They are monitoring the node and balancing it.

Interesting analogy, surely you are shrinking the substance in the box not stretching the box, to be able to strectch the box on the fly you need dynamic nodes, which is what I am advocanting. Also how big these 'boxes' CAN be is something I dont think we know.

Also to whoever says it's not needed it's just time dilation, IMO giving the nodal system an overhaul is the possible first step of more possible improvemnets to EVE that include balancing player loads, I can think of a few .

/edit Darth to your final dramatic statement I would say you are correct but as ever my point is that expanding resources rather than throtteling input would have been a better solution
