Grrrrr.....it went like this....

---

Me (ninjaing in hisec): "Did that Navy Raven just take a potshot at me before I looted?? Naw, he is not red and no one is that dumb..."

(continue burning towards wrecks for approx 8 seconds....)

Navy Raven finally turns red in overview...

Me: "WHAT!??? He did shoot, must..burn....into...range...."

CONCORD: Pop

Me: "F#$()Iing overview UI lag!"

---

in summary, if the damned overview and 'red' status indicators updated in a more timely fashion I could have burned back into target range and fired a volley to get that Navy Raven kill. A faction-fit orgy of carebear decadance to boot.

Can someone explain to me why those UI elements (which are kinda important no?) don't instant update???!!!!!

Grrrr......

Would you like to know more?

I get overview lag as well and have to admit it is very annoying. Sometimes a blue wreck will leave a yellow can after salvaging and I will be forced to steal this could prove interesting after the new expansion roles out as I will get flagged for stealling. Lol

UI lag strikes again..>F#$)(*@#$

- Me: Steals a carebears mission item, and jet can's it with the requisite name 'I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE'
- Bear: Approaches can and promptly takes back mission item, begins to align to warp out. Does NOT go red to me...
- Me: Mashes warp-scrambler, receiving a 'Concord' warning. WTF, he took the can, I saw it dissappear!
- Bear: [2 seconds later] warps away
- Me: F#)$(*#$()ing UI Lag!
- Bear: [5 minutes later] goes criminal/red in local

Guys, fix this ****. Seriously.

Oh, and the above happens CONSTANTLY between the time someone aggresses and I actually see them go red and can point/attack them in return without a CONCORD warning....

- Me: Steals something from someone
- Bear: Opens fire at me.
- Me: Mashes warp scrambler. Gets a CONCORD illegal act warning. WTF!!! He shot at me
- Me: dismisses CONCORD warning popup, waits 2 seconds...
- Me: Mashes warp scrambler button again as target finally goes red in overview, target scrammed.

Seriously CCP, FIX THE DAMN UI LAG between actions and UI updates posted down to the other clients on grid. Critical info elements like this MUST be pushed REAL TIME, not put in a sloppy delayed queue blah blah blah for delivery....

That is all.

What are you crying at?

Want to shoot easy stuff just go set your own graveyard camping in low sec or just shoot everything in null.

Ho wait, they may actually fight back with pvp fits Lol

Nice high pubbie tears best tears.

Instead of the moral lecturing of a 6 month old newb with no combat record and who no doubt humps asteroids all day, I was hoping for feedback from CCP or others who have actually pulled a trigger and experienced this UI issue.... Oh well.

Keep in mind that Eve's network updates only once every second.

I doubt we'll see massive improvements of the relatively sluggish (IMO it got a LOT better lately) client response until the day they change Eve's 1 Hz server ticks. Just think how long it takes to propagate your actions to the other players involved and then their response back to you.

I'm sorry that you experienced some lag that cost you a kill-mail, but I can assure you it's not indicative of any problem with the EVE client or infrastructure.

However, regardless of where the blame is, we don't allow ranting threads on these forums so I've been forced to lock this.
