We wanted to keep things fairly low at this point as we had found a few bugs in how Crime Watch worked under Time Dilation.

Can we get some details on this bug? Specifically, Friday morning (EVE time) I was hanging out in Jita killing GCC folks, and somehow got concorded without receiving a warning popup before shooting. The person I got concorded for supposedly killing (sec status drops for both aggression and killing) doesn't show up on my kill log. I petitioned it but haven't yet received a reply.

Any chance this is related?

Unilateral declaration of war on a player faction by an NPC faction has been a source of...lets say "drama"...in the past.

It'd be fun, I'm just sayin'. Blink

Oh? Only in the game for a year or so, and my history of past events is a bit... spotty. Something like this has happened before?

Edit: It's not like they'd even need out of game info. CCP Diagoras' statistics there very clearly show GSF and Test at the heart of this unprovoked terrorist attack at the heart of Caldari space. <.<

It's very much a back in the day thing but quite awhile ago the Serpentis declared war on the then-dominant Band of Brothers. The Serpentis armada was wiped out and just happened to drop plenty of juicy X-Type and officer loot for the victorious BoB. As you might imagine, there were plenty of accusations of favoritism.

Precisely. I find consequences to be so much more interesting than immunity ;)

With this sort of thing, I'd almost expect some sort of larger-scaled response by the Caldari Navy. I would find it an fascinating in-game event if the Caldari declared war on the GSF in retaliation. Almost immersion-breaking to see no response from them. Great kick-off to Inferno, maybe? :D

Because enforcing the law between capsuleers is purely the job of Concord? That is what Concord was created for, lore-wise.

nice going CCP, you've almost brought eve online to the point you used to advertise it a few years ago!

Keep going! polish polish our game!

-New crazy fancy UI, like in the trailers Cool

shows new players how transversal works, shows off eve combat.
-new item window! let us finally find our stuff.
-new ship models and paint jobs!
-Missiles! <3 no more 1st impressions of eve being "so the missiles just pop out of the middle of your ship?"
-shots missing and shots hitting shields/armor/hull in different spots! having shields stop the attacks from hitting your hull.
-Warp speed mechanics overhauled
-Dust 514 integration / make sov warfare in 0.0 "fun"
-Multiple characters in Captains quarters / a general area for avatars to meet?
-fix lag! which you seem to be achieving!
-Shiplines finally, an eve where every ship has a role!

Once all of these changes finally come through, eve will finally be the awesome game it was meant to be imo. This dev blog is just another step in that direction. Can't wait to see eve finally Mature! Eve 2.0 is coming!

Oh, and then please, as long as you keep a balance team running, go back and do more jesus features. Just please, don't get distracted! Your so close! We're so close!

I look forward to the day eve is the largest mmo ever!

Based on this player comment from the devblog, I'd like to point towards one of my threads concerning overview filtering.

Quote:

Among the Jita Burners complaints are few and praise is plentiful, but we all agree that without TiDi none of this would have been possible. In fact, after asking all of our allies what they thought I only received one complaint! The only real problems that I was asked to mention was blackscreening on undock and not being able to make a war target only overview.

Seems like it'd be easy to avoid this sort of pitfall in future events. Though I guess it'd be difficult to avoid bringing up distasteful old reminders for longer-term players.

Edit: Still, just the simple response of the Caldari faction setting GSF/CFC as a semi-permanent -10 (as opposed to relying on the relatively broken sec status mechanic) would be an interesting development, even if they aren't tossing easily-smashed fleets into nullsec.

But I'm not CCP Soundwave, so what do I know?

Just a few questions if you don't mind.

So we obviously had the population cap on the system as mentioned in the blog this as I doubt a whole lot of market trade was happening that day was it still needed due to crimewatch not really scaling well in highsec ?

Given the server needed a population cap if high sec players had filled the system with warm bodies then Burn Jita wouldn't have happened at all?

If that's the case will the reworking of Crimewatch that is occuring improve it's performance enough to rid highsec of population caps?

The majority of the ambient load in Jita on a normal day is due to player movements - jumping in/out, docking/undocking and switching ships (voluntarily or otherwise). These are fairly expensive actions, and since they were still happening in large number during the event, I'm fairly safe assuming that they were a bulk of the ambient load in this event as well. We have a project in the pipe for solving this load.

The refactoring of Crimewatch should help the spikes come down a fair bit as well, so I suspect that a similar event done in, say, a year from now should have a very different performance characteristic.

Thanks for the reply and interesting, I look forward to the changes and I'm sure blogs Big smile

CCP smugness in the devblog and in these posts is very well deserved.

The dilemma: is CFC happy that CCP finally delivered an environment where Burn Jita is not only possible, but actually enjoyable; or is CCP happy that CFC gave them the chance to showoff their best server-fu?

In the end, everyone is happy that the sandbox works as intended, both technically and as player-driven content.

Quite possible. Petitioning is the right route, the GMs are aware of what was going on. I'm sure their queue is mildly impressive after all this Ugh

We know this wasn't possible even a year ago. This was actually attempted once before, the concord spawn crashed the node.

Nerfing boomeranging was a slight damper as that was the original basis of the thrasher fleet, but it didn't change our ability for carnage in general.

Everyone won with this event. Except of course the guys flying 15B isk freighters that got popped.

Keep it up.
