Seriously CCP... What the ****? How about you stop trying to fix lag, with the employees you got you're bound to make it worse 9 times out of 10. Lag is better then your crap.

Thanks for ruining something epic.

In spite of all the idiots sperging on this thread, I have one honest question: Why weren't the tackled capital ships still there when we logged back in?

They were in warp disruption bubbles with agro timers. According to everything I know about logoff mechanics, they should not have moved anywhere, regardless of server crashes, characters log offs, or any amount of tinfoil.

I'm willing to accept that it was a simple mistake and there was no foul play, but only if you can give us a solid explanation for why the carriers disappeared from the field, in contradiction to well-established logoff mechanics.


Please explain CCP.


While I am not an engineer or server administrator I can give a brief overview: a live remap disconnects all players in the system and removes all ships from space similar to a downtime.

The command to remap everything other than Z9PP-H from the current server node was mis-entered. Instead of moving everything else than Z9PP-H, the command was given to move everything else than Q9PP-H. Therefore Z9PP-H (and everything else on the current node) was remapped with the fatal consequences we see now.

Every live remap of a system, and this remap is no exception, works in such a way that all players in the system are disconnected and all ships are removed from space. The usual player logoff mechanics with all associated timers are just not relevant during downtime or live remaps.

Please also note that further information is currently being compiled to give you a more detailed overview.

I really wish you guys would get it together. It truly WAS epic and you ruined it.
We are painfully aware of this and believe me: it hurts to see such epic battles, which are not found anywhere else in the whole gaming industry, being cut off like this.

We want to give you the servers, tools and environment to create and enjoy such epic moments to its fullest extend, that is what our dream and passion is about - destroying such battles just to influence the course of the in-game actions, however, is not what we do.



so why were the capitals removed while they were aggressed and bubbled?



Because node crashes have always removed aggression, just as they did for when the CFC got a dread fleet tackled. You're dumb.

It's okay, you need to focus your anger into something productive. Just hug yourself and think of something you can be angry at. Concentrate, and you will find your inner self, your true self. It is okay. You don't have to hate yourself, we here at TEST are here for you, for we love you.

No worries test pilots, your ships will be reimbursed very soon... oh wait.

Maybe they can get the previous losses reimbursed somehow if the deaths can be blamed on the node not being remapped earlier?

Server is fixed now, no nasty ships in space shooting each other.

Problem solved, op success.

Given your developer's history in this game, that is quite a bold statement.

Given that this is not the first time this has happened I think that a serious investigation is mandatory.

Similar situations happening at peculiarly strategic times for Test (in both cases saving large amounts of supers that under normal circumstances would have been killed) inspires little trust in apologies that CCP has been so quick to publish.

As paying customers we deserve answers.


we need a super duper investigation lolz go cry a river so i can harvest your tears :P
