EVE General Discussion

Everyone tells that it is CCPs fault. How? Actually it is mostly players fault, risk aversion and bad choices.
When CFC blue up 3/4 of the null and attack the last few standing, ofc you will have a whole thingy piled up in one system. Add to it that you lag the hell out of a system by putting 2k subcaps in it before jumping in heavy things, the result you get are the lost capitals.

I remember when i was in null a couple of years ago, local of 500-600 people made it impossible to do anything. After the TIDI was introduced it lets you manage a battle of 3k+ people. There was a fight in lowsec in Hysera system where the local was around 1200 and the fight was quite enjoyable (PS. Tnx Mangala).

I am aware also that there can be some improvements. But nothing drastical can happen before the next gen technology appears or CCP put lots of time and resources into developing something that can crush this lag. But don't expect that because lot more powerful companies are for sure trying to solve this dilemma without a great success.

In mean time is up to us players. Be less risk averse and enjoy the game. Is not all about winning. Dissolve this blue donut and you will have a great game to spend your time in. Russians should start pushing from west and N3 from east. In no time the blue donut will disappear and Null will have few more coalitions.

And whenever a new blue donut is on the horizon. They should be stomped before even contemplating the idea about it. Nullsec atm is all about people being sheep. Think with your heads, rise up and shoot each other and you will have tremendous amount of fun.

Frenemies is the best possible thing for this game and it is a fact in lowsec. Everyone shoot everyone but when a blob is around we form up together and put it down. Than again back to shoot each other.

It is not that thousands people are deciding, only a dozen have a word in it. But why they should change the status quo when they have RL interests?

EVE universe can be our Utopia and have a perfect place to escape from this unfortunate world. We are allowed to shape it how we like it but Instead we are making the same damn mistake as in RL by being sheep.

It is not true. Less numbers can win and they do so often, don't be misled. It is about the personal gain of few people that are shepard to 99% of the null. If you had leaders that care about their members and are devoted to make their gameplay experience much more fun we would talk now about a whole another game.

I also agree that sov mechanics sucks.

Simple game mechanics for holding a system, dropping an object on a system, waiting for a timer. They can do better.

Something like this:

would be far better that what is in place, because then people would have to actually use the system to hold it.

Even faction warfare got more attention than NULL.

I could say you have absolutely no idea what a "thread" is, but instead I'll ask you where you get your information from.

I can only imagine PL comms.

"Oh **** guys they are cynoing their dreads in!"

"Wait, are those Domi's still on the field?'

"Yea, they're still there."

Long pause....

"Hahahahaha! Target the dreads coming in."

At least that's how it went down in my head.

Was HED by any chance on the same node as jita? we had a truck load of TiDi going off there. If so add another 2000 chars and some local spam.

Yes, I as a developer have no idea what a thread is.

I'm pretty sure it's common knowledge by now, but they posted about it like ages ago. Basically the servers run on single threaded stackless python or something along those lines, and due to that they have to work with single monster CPUs rather than distributed load.

Dude... 700 people have been dumped into fights many many times. On the Jita superserver, nobody could reasonably expect 3600 people to mean mass blackscreens and disconnects. It's super easy to look back with hindsight and say "oh that broke the sever, shouldn't have done that", but at the time it was way under what numbers we've put a standard reinforced node though in the past.

At the end of the day, it was supposed to be set up for a capital fight, and it wasn't.

By the way, too much swearing. No mad pls bro.

Is that you, Scott?

Ok, you just sound and look like someone I know.
