EVE General Discussion

Well, WoW did it along with a 64bit client. Engine is as old as EvE's.

Let it sink to page 2 and so on where it will be forgotten forever.

Op success.

Grown ups crying in epic proportions, a advise goons !

Yes, because expecting accountability from those we pay for a service, and to not simply be ignored and dismissed out of hand in a bait-and-switch bit of pablum to brush concerns about CCP's IT failings, these things are 'crying'.

Tell me, do you feel the same way when your mechanic screws up your car? Do you just shrug and keep paying the computer technician who loses all your data? The landscaper who manages to destroy your yard?

It's crying when it only concerns pet interests.

There's other issues on the plate (like things making players physically sick), and CCP is on vacation.

It's about priorities. A fight in null isn't a top 1 priority to the game. You understood the risks anyway, in a game you also know can't handle large fleet ops...which you guys continually do despite the system can't run it properly (CCP doesn't have CRZ or phasing to offload the spikes, it has to hard cap with a wall that is every bit like instancing but worse, as folks can't use the same space or capped from entering a zone).

Don't want it to happen again? DON'T BLOB. EvE can't handle it, it was never designed for 400+ fleet battles and the tech can't handle it (and won't until CCP updates hardware [$$$$$$$$] and programs for it [$$$$$$$$]). It was designed for raid size battles of the old days of 40man sizes (as the concept of 400+ battles in 2000 was unheard of...that's how old EvE is and the design it was built on, 2000 tech).

This is exactly why mouth breathers are but cannon fodder. They don't understand anything but to pewpewpew, and can't find 2 brain cells to rub together.

Sit down and find another brain cell, as class is in session:

MMOs on average take 4 years to build.

EvE was released in 2003.

Now do the math.

Class dismissed!

Hey guys.

We've been pretty busy talking about stuff internally, which is why there's been no communication in this thread.

I'll gather up some of the questions from here, and see if I can pin some answers to them in the next few days.

Were you even born in 2000 to realize the tech back then?

That's when EvE was being built. That's the type of engine that this world operates on. Just like in WoW (but Blizzard at least goes back and update it for 64bit and multithreading...it used to only operate on one CPU).

Little resources = things don't get fixed. Little resources = you get gated.

Want fixes, got to have the cash. It doesn't grow on trees.

Business 101.

Now whine like a kid, the reality is the fix isn't coming any time soon. Get used to it, EvE is a sandbox game along with the sandbox funding problems. You're pushing the game to what it wasn't designed to handle, and still can't 10 years later.

Which is what things MMO 2.0 is about to fix and improve upon.

Forgot this gem...



Blizzard didn't even update it's hardware until 2011 (after being hounded for 500ms latency and worse -- my realm was in Timbuktu with double the ping times of EQII, despite being on the west coast. I went to town on it on the forums because EQII updated their hardware in 2008, including 64bit databases). The IT techs said it was pretty archaic hardware when they did (Blizzard put it up for auction).

They don't update that stuff as often as folks will think. Don't know what CCP is operating on, but there's a good chance it's much the same. It takes tech advances and development changes to justify the cost (Blizzard brought CRZ with the new hardware, and by the looks of it, going one world).

TEN MILLION a month isn't "little resources" troll, maybe you should relearn business 101?

BTW this is 2013 incase your head is to far up there to notice. With a new "expansion" every 6 months they couldn't update something? NOPE still running the EXCAT SAME thing as 2003 right?? RIGHT??

To CCP:
Stop with the "pretty patches", put away the Barbie dress-up clothes in a spaceship game, and fix the problems.
If you advertise "epic fights with thousands of players" then be able to deliver, or stop making claims you can't back-up.

Kid, 10 million dollars is less than WoW reels in a week.

When you see how gaming operates at the AAA level, it's more like 30 million a week (FPS games it's hand over fist dollars).

This is why CCP can't just sit on those behinds, they have to get their products looking good for potential players. With more cash, they can fund the projects and THEN you'll see the results.
