Umm CFC lost a titan the other day and TiDi worked against them, slowing their logging, forming and reacting so, no, not really.

And the failed titan gank was more to do with the fact it was in a staging system, allowing quick response time for the rescuers.

Stop talking about last nights failed titan gank please
my original post was an example of how Tidi works against smaller forces

Aparrantly a lot of people fail at reading.

Back before TiDi, everything I heard about nullsec made me think that many alliances had a standard operating procedure of: "If the node is running fine, we didn't bring enough ships". Every time CCP did something to improve performance, it worked for a short while. Then fleet numbers increased until problems happened again.

I spent my time in faction warfare. Lowsec had, and still has, a reputation for running on the worst hardware CCP has. Even worse, without reinforcement timers, there was no way to predict which system a large battle would happen in. Battles with less than 100 pilots in them would cause problems regularly. The winner in a fleet engagement was usually determined by who got hit worst by the node failing.

My first taste of FCing happened when the experienced FC realized that his overview was full of enemies that were no longer present. He decided that a completely inexperienced FC (me) was a better choice because, while I had no clue what I was doing, I still knew which enemies were still there to shoot at.

Sure, TiDi has its problems. But it is much better than the only alternative: The server tries to run at full speed and fails.

No, because EVE doesn't use parallel processing, you can't have multiple servers running the same thing. During 6VDT, the Jita node was not doing anything but running 6VDT, and that's the best hardware they have.

It seems a bit odd that CCP only has one Jita quality node.

Tidi works against the larger side too.

- Their titan gets tackled
- Pings go out
- They all start undocking from the same station causing 10% tidi in their system but not in the system where the titan is being killed
- Titan is killed before anyone is able to load grid after undocking, much less join fleet and travel to where it is and save it.

I'll keep it pretty short:

Time dilation is gamebreaking for the smaller side, simply because it gives the bigger side 10x the time to ping and get people online.

Example:
-Fleet of 250 bumps titan out of POS
-Begins killing Titan, gets it to half armour before 100 of the enemy undock and warp to them
-System gets tidi'd to ****
-Before the fleet of 250 can finish killing the titan (Enemy fleet has no serious RR), Tidi goes to insane amounts
-Before the enemy titan or enemy fleet can even be further dented because of how slow it is, enemy sends a ping out and gets hundreds more people online
-More Tidi allows more people to get online
-The people who are much smaller, but would've gotten a monumental victory then lose because Tidi gave their opponents much more time to get online, get organized and get into the fight

Solution:
Kill Titan with 45 dudes - no TiDi

Put it this way, until they rewrite every line of code in something other than python, there's going to be lag.

pls.

Because it's disgusting that CCP should have any lag in the largest MMO battle to ever occur in the history of time. Amirite?!

It is literally the most powerful single server networking room in the games industry. And they want it to be better. Snap snap.

It's like saying, the fastest man in the world is too slow. How dare he gets so long times on his 100m sprint. He should be doing it in half that time! Derf.

It doesn't matter what language it's written in. You could write the whole thing in assembly, it'll still lag.

How is off grid boosting an advantage to the little guys when the big fleets can also use it ?

What you're complaining about isn't TiDi but server overloading (colloquially known as "lag")

TiDi is a way of managing and mitgating the effects of that overloading. It gives no particular advantage to larger or smaller sides. Complaining that TiDi causes the problems you refer to is like complaining that it always seems to be raining when you stand under an umbrella.

me personally would not get online to rescue some stupid titan. Would you?

monumental victory = having spy (who allowed enemies into the POS shield), having stupid titan pilot (who didn't logoff of jump in time), having lazy and/or stupid enemies (who cannot defend their titan)?

I thought "monumental victory" has slightly different meaning Shocked

Uhm... No. Due to python they can only run one system on a CPU if you can run one system on _All_ CPUs it would have plenty of power.

Yeah, because BoB wasn't totally defeated by an upstart coalition with more guts than them, and almost no other advantage... (despite the wide rumor that BoB had devhaxx)

I guess CCP favours jung kiddies with daddies creditcards than older mature more loyal players. Cant really blame them $$$-wise.
