EVE General Discussion

Right there with you!!!

1/10 for a monotonous retread on repeatedly locked threads...so...IBTL.

Real talk time.

Your FCs know exactly how to mitigate Time Dilation. They know that cyno'ing 1500 people into system spikes Time Dilation. They know that cyno'ing 1500 people onto a grid with 1500 people spikes the hell out of Time Dilation. They know that doing that while the system is already under duress is a recipe for disaster, because this is not the first time this has happened. They have proven tactics to prevent this sort of thing from happening. They also have a pretty good idea, after battles like 6-VDT, what the approximate cap of people the system can handle is.

They knew all that, and they still ordered a cyno onto grid of an immense fleet into an immense fleet, flattening the server under two huge, sudden demand for resources under a sustained load of over 3800 people in combat.

TiDi does not "fix lag." TiDi gives the server more time--up to 10x more time--to catch up to demand in order to prevent lag. If you push the server even beyond that boundary, then the lag monster comes back. So, you don't do that.

If you get into an argument with hardware, you will lose 100% of the time.

I wasn't even really aware that CCP was reimbursing ANYTHING until an issue like this happened. I just assumed that EvE Online was too hardcore for little piddly things like reimbursment. And I play as a Carebear.

CCP is pretty inconsistent with their own rules. They recently reimbursed a supercarrier that bugged while attempting to jump out.

But that was the plan: for them to jump a huge group of people into another huge group of people. When it has happened before the game has actually crashed, yet this time it did not. I, for one, am glad that their fighting didn't effect the game as much as it has in the past.

Now go out and make more ships to throw away by mass jumping into another huge group of people. Can't wait for the forum threads on the next fight

I demand cake

Not empty quoting.

OP, if you expect someone to negotiate, it's usually best not to threaten them. In your first thread, you threatened to destroy Amarr and Jita, mass unsubs and as much negative press as you could possibly generate. Luckily, you're no longer threatening your fellow players, but if you think your final paragraph about 'educational' videos meant to tarnish CCP's reputation and dissuade new players from trying EVE is going to get you anywhere, you're a hopeless cause.

I wasn't kidding about happily taking some of your stuff off of you and your friends' quitting hands. I've never asked for anyone's stuff before and judging solely from the level of discontent, this seemed like a great time to start. Now, I can't get any stuff if you don't ragequit, so I'm not going to be able to keep giving you sage advice unfortunately. So after this, I'm either going to ignore you (most likely) or troll you along with everyone else (not impossible.) Just stop writing these comments on the forum. They aren't doing you any favors. Writing in GD is not how you contact CCP. It's how you troll/harass/amuse other players.

Properly-formatted, intelligent idea proposals are submitted in F&I.

CCP has issued it's statement on HED-GP and I wouldn't expect them to reverse their decision. (If incessant whining got you somewhere, omg, it would never end.) You may disagree with their non-intervention policy, and when you're on the losing end of that stick, it may seem horribly unfair. But it's the most fair position they can adopt. No one wants CCP replacing some ships some days and not replacing them on others. Having a hands-off attitude is the best policy they can adopt.

You fell off your horse. It happens. Get back on it and start plotting a way to get revenge on your enemies in game and stop threatening the guys who had nothing to do with what happened to you.

YK

Urrgs...
That one was lost due to an actual bug, not because some stupid carebears deliberately lagged a node.
