Enabling time dilation in middle of a fleet battle doesn't sound like a good thing to tinker with. But who knows, CCP Veritas knows better.


Given the state of the Branch campaign that was probably a perfect time/place to test it. Giant battle with effectively zero strategic consequence (not like they were going to suddenly run us out of Branch based on that one battle).

I don't understand. I was present when it was tested on Singularity and we had not crashed then, we had some issue with shield/cap (that was fixed) but no catastrophic failures. I mean... it was tested and re-tested many times and CCP did an awesome job.

I think that it's a pretty unlucky edge case... anyway, excellent that there's a fix already.

Well, there is a difference between testing on a test server and testing on a live server...

Well, now they know what caused it, at least. It's like a new steam engine popping rivets on the first run up to full pressure, or stalling on your driving test.

No plan ever survives contact with the enemy. The same applies to programming.

Main point is, at least there is a fix for it. I'm sure that the CCP code monkeys and QA minions will continue to labour into the night to continue to bring balance back to the nodes (no, not the CCP Tallest balance, the CCP Veritas balance).


I see what you did there.

Looking forward to seeing TiDi in action.

Actually, we got to see CCP Veritas again this morning when we formed a 600 man fleet. He turned on TiDi and we got to see it all the way down to 10%.

Watching bubbles pop at 10% speed and people coming out of warp was pretty cool, not gonna lie. Even better, hostile cyno alts that previously were able to get out of crossjumps due to crazy lag died to our fleet one after the other.

I can't wait to see it in a fight where our enemies don't actually run away.
