btw the slow mo look at the macharial at the end was f*cking HOT... though the slow mo titan explosion makes u wonder wtf things are exploding in mid space instead of internally to the titan

Also the cyno seems to fly off to a spot in space and disappear when its gone but its so fast in non TiDi that you dont see it normally? :( Hope they change that to make it more visible ... as that **** is HOT

looks awesome, and no moar QUADRUPPLE KLICK MODS TO FIRE!

also new cyno efect looks hawt like a modern version of the old one.

Pretty sure that it'd take a few hundred people all with ungrouped mods to even affect the dilation of that node at all, probably closer to nothing, and if there's 300+ people in the system attacking a logofski super I don't think you'll need 30 minutes in the first place.

You'd have to forcibly disconnect and reconnect the clients to pull that off, which is...pretty impossible.

Hey, just a few comments from my side:

Using TiDi to pause to system to make it easier to remap it: This was already discussed internally and sounds like a good plan, BUT a lot of other stuff has to happen first. One step for better remaps will be probably done in one of the next mass-tests, where we'll test a fix to make the remapping system more stable.

Abusing TiDi to prolong aggression timers: As far as I can tell this *might* be possible, but if you already have the numbers to be able to lag out the system as much, then you should also have the numbers to kill the super-capital without having to extend the timer. I know that this is not always the case, but this is another discussion...

TiDi affects all system on one node (at least in the current implementation). Neighboring systems have a higher chance of being on the same node, but there is no guarantee.

O.O/ Low sec/ High- sec/ WH systems are only cross populated in very rare cases A CCP Dev will chime in here in a minute and say Company policy is that the four differant zones are never mixed when deligating which node runs which systems

You/Your alliance is willing to keep 200 pilots in a system shooting at asteroids just to slow down a system for the duration of the shooting? =/

Andreus Ixiris: It is very seldom, that high-sec and 0.0 systems are on the same node (but it can happen), as Salpun already wrote. On the other hand it happens quite often, that high-sec and low-sec systems are on the same node.



I think it would be bad to turn off dilation for high-sec - it is also better for high-sec to be dilated than to be totally lagged out.

It is totally clear, that some alliances will try to (ab-)use Time Dilation for their purposes and sure - in some cases they will succeed to do so. BUT: most cases are also somehow possible with the current system by lagging out a system, just not as predictable.

We will for sure keep a very close eye on this and react to any problems. If anybody has any other ideas on how alliances might try to abuse it, but doesn't want to write it into this thread: feel free to send me mails about it (to this character either on TQ or Sisi).


Reinforcement timers are NOT being affected by time dilation.

I dont like it... im sure ill figure out some abuse for this in a few hours will get back to this....





Sorry i only focused on 0.0

For highsec

1. ) increase in suicide ganking

Little explanation biggest problem you have with scanning somebody is the time to move you mouse. people will be able to aquier targets easily (not 100 % acure needs to be tested)

2.) increase in cost to transport cause freighter currently needs 4 min to leave jita or something like that with the assumes 0.5/1 second change it will take him 8 minutes..... More freighters cause of lucrative market... easier to cause lag.

3. Dont even wanna theorize on bonus time for deployment of interceptors to decloak person on gate..... currently only reason you cant do that is cause you have 5 seconds to decloak a hauler.... with 10 seconds you can do something...


All in all i have a fealing "slower in perception on time to react to stuff" people are getting a boost witch is ok.....

But seriously.... cant you just invest time in adding nodes?



Im also worried about less interesting things.... like mission running and mining.... money making that is directly keyed to REAL time.

Workable theory here:
Theory 1.)
I mine. Mining yeald/circle time X 3600 = my profit of mining /hour..... if you slow down time... i acttualy make less money. No problem im in highsec my differences is about 1 mill /hour.

Theory 2.)
Im mining in an ops in 0.0 OOPS..... instead of making 60-70 mill per hour im now down to 30 if system slows down cause 10 of us are using mining drones and all and we have 30 more people dooing stuff and in the procces fleat starts to form for a cta or something...


Time dilation if abused effects everything in game.... mining, missionruning, transport, Killing each other.....


"the system" had 10 years to evolve and all the ship changes, align times travel speed, ability to run form other people.... its all messured in seconds. You are ading a new number to math thats been evolving for 10 years.


P.S. Dont make me count the number of drakes in that video .... on rough glanc it looks like 70 or so to me.... realy not that complicated to organize people....

P.P.S: i support the idea it will make the game less lagi, smoother, nicer, less a pain, less DCs in fights.... but the outside factors are worrying me.....
