User Experience

Average FPS during the fight at the gate in X-BV98, zoomed out (brackets / no brackets): 12-20/13-20 - brackets did not seem to make a massive difference
Average FPS - Zoomed in (brackets / no brackets): 6-10, max drops down to 2-3/6-10, similar drops to with brackets, but not massive difference
Memory usage of the client (if checked): Initially running just over 1Gb before jumping, peaked at 2.5GB during
Was client performance better or worse compared to your TQ experience with the same settings and fleet size? (1=way worse, 5=same, 10=OMG this is awesome) 3
Did you experience any disconnects or crashes? No - Corpmate appeared to be have a desync issue (we killed him, and podded, he didnt know anything about it he thought he was still in armor)
Describe your experience, make comments, suggestions, etc.: We flew with people from our corp that had never experienced this level of client side lag before (during the fight) I would suggest warn people that there will be cases of extreme lag.

Average FPS during the fight at the gate in X-BV98, zoomed out (brackets / no brackets): 3~4/~2
Average FPS - Zoomed in/out (brackets / no brackets): ~2 ; even zoomed out the fps was bad 2~5
Memory usage of the client (if checked): it climbed up to ~1.5GB
Was client performance better or worse compared to your TQ experience with the same settings and fleet size? (1=way worse, 5=same, 10=OMG this is awesome) Not on TQ, but I remember the other masstests to have been better on the FPS, and it improved with the brackets off and zoomed out. Or maybe it was just all those Titans..
Did you experience any disconnects or crashes? No crashes whatsoever.
Describe your experience, make comments, suggestions, etc.:

Definite hit on FPS, I watched the Monitor screen and Performance tab, my Thread cpu was flying near 100% and my Fps trudging at ~2FPS. I was also surprised seeing the Memory tab, to have my total memory near 1.5GB, because I always thought that the client just ate up ~1GB. The slowdown has even affected my Overview window and Fleet broadcast history window, where there was click-stutter.

There was a bug I found while I was zoomed out. While fighting at X-BV98, there was this animation like the warping animation starting from the center, but it was golden colored i.e. like Amarr gold with varying streaks of the same hue. I don't know if it was due to some ship warping out of the fight.. but I am sure it is like the warping animation. It only happens for some seconds, maybe 5~8 seconds. All the while, I was targeting ships, firing, and moving towards them, I was not in any warping mode myself.

Overall the general jerky-slowdown brought down the gaming experience, compared to the other masstests.

Was client performance better or worse compared to your TQ experience with the same settings and fleet size? (1=way worse, 5=same, 10=OMG this is awesome) no experience to judge by
Did you experience any disconnects or crashes? client froze and had to terminate
Describe your experience, make comments, suggestions, etc.: At some point during the last point everything suddenly disappeared and when I tried to rotate my camera I just saw the same image of space. Although I could still see the two ships I had locked on my screen, and their weaponry firing, it was as if the camera man died and his camera was left floating standstill in space. Eventually I tried to turn my camera with right click which crashed my client.
