EVE General Discussion

I think folk would do level 4 missions in lo-sec the same way null-sec folk rat when there are bad guys in their system.

Totally agree with this.

They either need to remove the incentive for us to put 4000 dudes in 1 system or create a basis were the code/servers allow such numbers without crashing the server.

.. let's spin this a different way and say imagine how many other resources CCP would have for NULL, fighting TiDi, and the rest of the game, if they simply got rid of DUST.

I mean, hey, it's not like DUST has been integrated into EVE all that much... it's sort of at the same level that INCARNA-WiS is... just an alternative to ship spinning, and not a very good one.

Caps have nothing to do with this.
Even if there where no caps people would just stuff 4000 Subcaps into the system, because higher numbers win.

However it's not just CCPs fault alone. If the nullbears would grow some balls and not blueball half the galaxy we would see a lot more smaller fights between alliances instead of those massive blobs between mega coalitions which the game just can't handle.

Doesn't matter how much you increase nodes capability, in an open world game they will be always capped till the mechanics force/push/make convenient for the players to mass in large numbers to achive goals.

You need to split the objectives in several smaller ones and scale down the numbers requirements to be part of something.

Btw is already amazing as is now: how many games do we know able to support 3-4000 players on a same node/scene/istances? Even only 100 is a problem.

EVE PvP is open world , and with the current mechancs player will always try to bring in as much as possible, not becuase they like floating in the lag, but because the game force them to do so.

The day CCP allow 4000 players to fight without lag, ppl will bring 6000+ to the fight.

It's been that way since the dawn of EVE.

You cannot activate the cloak on your Nerf Hisec thread because it is with 2000 meters of another object.

Really..

Not sure where to start so I am simply not going to bother.

CCP has put together a system that managed to not collapse with almost 4000 people in system. Have you seen another company/game come even close to that? Do you understand what it takes to handle that kind of workload?

It's getting really old seeing thread, after thread, after thread beating on CCP about lag from people who have zero understanding of the network infrastructure it takes to keep something like EVE running. You do understand that a dedicated server node was used to keep HED up right? The battle was not running on the primary servers that run the game under normal conditions.

That aside.... you're idea for "fixing" battles too large to handle.... is pushing more people into them?

I too post on the forums with ideas that have been brought up many times before by the same types of people who have no idea how servers work.

It makes me feel that my views are seen and I feel important by putting them up in public with a character hiding in a noob corp.
