I love the pvp in this game and it is the main reason that I like to play the game right now, and that includes good chats and teamwork with corp mates and alliance mates. Still I'm looking forward to ambulation. It's going to be great to be able to do that stuff while I'm camped into a station or just waiting for a pvp op to start, whatever.
Everyone who has been in big alliances and fought battles with many hundreds of pilots involved knows how bad the lag can get and I do wish that will get better in the future. Ambulation won't make it any worse and the guys working to improve ambulation don't have a clue about stuff related to removing lag.
My impression is that CCP will buy new hardware for ambulation so that the whole ambulation will run on separate nodes from the current system. That itself should _reduce_ lag as all the people walking in stations will take the load off from the current nodes that handle everything else. Hopefully it works out that way.

Couldnt of said it better there myself.
I have been playing since 2005 on various accounts/toons and I still love eve. The new content keeps me playing easily, and at the rate its released I dont think ill ever be able to put eve down. Its currently the primary game I play, and the community is one of the best ive been a member of.
I keep trying to get my irl friends to try it out even if they arent gamers, and some do in fact like it and subscribe... others have ADD and well... they go play WoW.

You'll be able to sit down and interact with character avatars live at FanFest. This will be the first public demonstration of EVE with Walking in Stations and we expect this experience to be a huge draw.
That's taken from here, for reference. As for the tickets, I think they're due to go up for sale soon, if they aren't available currently. Alas, I'm no marketing guru, so can't say for sure Embarassed
Holy crap, I have to buy tickets. |

Technological Constraints.
Not your computer nor theirs can do all the computations necessary in milliseconds. Then there is the matter of transmitting it to all the computers and getting a reply in those same milliseconds. It's just a technological barrier we cannot meet at this time.
Traditional HPC solutions don't work well with real time systems due to the latency of the network links (hence all the talk about infiniband, which is just a low latency network).
You do not get this lag if the processing units reside within the same box, ie with multi-core, multi processor systems.
I have a couple of 10 processor quad core 8U Rack Mount chassis at work, that is 40 processing units each. There are plenty of OS's which will allow thread synchronisation between multiple processing units which simplfies the code somewhat.
Sol uses a single thread to calculate all the combat stuff, which would be limited to the speed of one of the processing units in my 40 Cpu box, ie 2.5% of what is available. Next year no doubt we will get 16 cores per processor.
tl;dr version
You make it sound like it's not possible, which is not true. It is non trivial given the existing non threaded code base (sol). But entirely possible with todays technology (both hardware and software).
The problem is even if you updated your computer, not everyone would, hence there is no feasible solution because not everyone can afford such a machine.
Even once they upgrade the main servers to infiniband there will still be lag, you cannot eliminate it with current technology, our processing speed and transmission speed is to low.

lol i wonder how long it would take for these whiners to start whining about lack of content is CCP stoped adding it.
while i'll admit this content isn't needed it does not mean that it going to be bad. to those vets saying they will quit because of this new content. go ahead and quit.....less players = less lag....so you quiting will help the rest of us. if you going to quit over something as petty then to be honest eve is better off without you.
an MMO will ALWAYS have lag issues nt matter how much they spend trying to fix it. to the OP you complain about alliancelagwars....heres an idea.....don't use 600 ships use 60....use skill instead of numbers...im not aiming this at BoB or any set alliance...but until these people stop useing 800+ ships when 80 ships can get the job done lag will always be there.
EVERY MMO out there that has PvP ends up being about the numbers its not the fault of the game its the fault of the players. and the players are the only ones that can fix this.

I for one would be happy if CCP just stopped and made the content they already added in the last 3 years work as intended. They can always keep their minions working on the other new stuff, but they should not add new unproven "features" until the core foundation is solid.
(marketing and accounting must be satisfied however)
And, if they are going to advertise during prime time US television depicting MASSIVE fleet combat, I'd kinda' expect to be able to take part in what was advertised using my 6-month old PC without experiencing a 2FPS slideshow.

By the way I normally hate the bloody emotes, and stuff. Still, way to shut someone up. I think Ambulation will add to the enjoyment of the game.

walking in stations = i want it
what you gonna do about that? i'm going to enjoy walking around the station and email the devs to say "this is great, thank for implementing it". and then i'll walk around the station even more.
how's that make you feel? - -

Ever since we've heard & seen this, i have spoken to alot of players concerning this waste of manhours gone into this huge waste of effort.
Every player i've spoken to, wants a stable EVE before we even think about being able to walk inside stations. Yet, CCP continues to ignore our request/need for stability and keeps adding new content which is currently not needed.
This last year i've seen almost all veteran players i know of, leave EVE because its boring. No one wants to fight these alliance laggwars. And eventhou Oveur, hilmar and CCP keeps praising about their 'new hardware' and 'super computers', we never get to fully enjoy the capacity that EVE could have.
I've played EVE since beta and i can honestly say that EVE is boring the crap out of me atm, and im not the only one. If it weren't for the community and all the crazy players i know, i would not play this game anymore. The only thing EVE offers at this time, is 3 things.
Alliancelaggwars. occasional Gank. Make isk.
There simple is not many players left in EVE that enjoys a good fight. Most alliances are about making isk and sitting in their safe & secured cynojammed systems counting their assets, living happely ever after.
EVE for me, is about warfare and pvp. I'm not happy if i don't get to shoot an enemy for some time. I can't stand making isk, its boring. Other players are the other way around. They can't stand pvp and all they wanna do is make isk *cough* ebay *cough*.
And then we have CCP, the makers and the destroyers of this world.
They brought us the dreads, the carriers, the moms and the titans. But what they didn't bring us, was the stability to effectivly use them, and they also failed to imagine how we would use them.
No alliance will ever use a fullout capitalship assult without the backup of a fleet. Much less field a titan without massive support. But we all know what happens when 2 alliances meet up for a fistfight.
Hell.. a few days ago when i was jumping in an alliance operation, we were sitting at gates for 30 minutes waiting for a system to load.
Where has EVE gone when it can't even handle 1 alliance moving around?
Keep that in mind, and then try to imagine how it would be like when jumping into a fight, or even trying to fight in a system with 400 players.
It wasn't long ago when i was involved in a fight where we were not even 300 players in the system in total, and most of us could not even load.
Yet, CCP still insists on non needed game developement.
I haven't spoken to one person that is positive about this station ambulation and you still insist on developing it instead of taking all that manhours & funds and spend it on giving us some stability.
My last petition about the serverstability ended with the response that in short said 'dont hold your breath'.
TL;DR
Also, from Max Damage, to Max Whineage.

to fix ALL lag - buy your own T3 cable direct to the CCP offices. Sure, your up for a couple of Billion DOLLARS, but hell, at least YPOU can have a Lag free game!.... except when there are a couple hundred people in one sector. So you'll need to buy Big Blue a cpouple times over - one for each regions and let CCP install them as EVE servers..
or you can put up with the lag that you do have... Try playing with 300+msec lag times and then come whining... Some of us have to put up with that and simply live with it cause this is such a hugley Fantastic game!

Ya, at least SL has p0rn. But you should see the kind of lag in any area where there is more than 20 people. It makes Jita look damn near instantaneous.
But seriously, if it makes you so mad that they're going to do Ambulation I think you should just stop playing, and give me all your stuff. I'm willing to bet neither will happen and you'll still be paying CCP long after you've whined about this, and every other improvement they make to the game.

They cant fix the lag.
in all honesty i think ambulation will fix lag.
you have 300 alts in jita changing prices by .01 isk. they are on the regular node... in ambulation, they will be on another node doing the same thing, in the same system, lagging out the station node :)

Maybe it's time for a second server and a blank slate (on said server). I would play on this like there's no tomorrow. They could even change up some formulae to mix things up a bit.

Well, at first I thought...

Originally by: eliminator2 sorry for not been an ultra nerd and having learning difficulties but every1's point of view counts on such things ccp do i am just sayin not to get rid of the idea but to put it a side and to fix the current lag wether the new idea causes more lag wich it might or might not but id say fix the problems we have now instead of making that first and proberbly sayin DT EXTENDED 1 HOUR FOR THE NEW RELEASE few mins later DT DELAYED 1 HOUR MORE THAN WAS EXPECTED 2 hours later DT WILL BE UP IN 3 DAYS
Gongrats for a complete lack of starting a NEW sentence. I don't understand this at all.
As for Ambutation. I'm looking forward to it. I NEED this aspect to eve. Oh man I can't even dream of what the trailer or teasers are going to look like. And that dev on page 2 affirmed that it will be exposed a bit at fanfest.
That, and I think BoB should go die. They just like being the center of attention - and will crash nodes to get it. Those "other players" that are thinking about quitting are all within his allaince I'm sure. _____________________________ CEO of Rising Federation [RWNX] |

Totally agree. Next time BoB tries to crash a system, CCP should terminate all the BoB accounts involved in that utter selfish, childish, cry for attention act!
So the real solution to fix lag is rather a lot more simple:
Terminate BoB accounts = lag fixed!
------------------ Oh and I cannot wait for Ambulation either. Especially since I saw that video from early this year on TTH site!
