EVE General Discussion

Looks like I made the right call on studying for my math exam instead of logging in for this.

That also works for reps.. not like your guns were the only things not working

Gotta bring the dudes to deal with the wall of capitals you lot throw around


Biggest gripe I have here is the way the GMs are handling it. Seems half are moving people to safety because it was a CCP fuckup and half are refusing to move people to safety because they don't think it was a CCP fuckup.

if you exclusively shoot one side, you are not a third party ;)

To be fair you lot were easier to see.

The piling in wasn't exactly one sided. Each of those bumped titans had it's own group of carriers and supers piled in to rep them.

It's a bit of a shame that the first supercap and titan battle of any note for years was brought down by a bad node. The battles in fountain with double the numbers had much better performance.

I agree, but if we really really wanted to crash the node we would jumped in the extra slowcats.

I was wondering why we never saw the crystal fleet that bl are always talking about, a group of insured suicide dread could have tipped balance with out adding a huge amount of extra server load. But guess we will never know, -a- were confident about killing it and we were confident about saving it.

Am I glad that the node died, absolutely, I had been there from almost the first shot and I needed to go out and do things, but to use the bl quote I treated it as a we ride together we die together the slowcats were sacraficial if required.

They advertise one universe...single shard...thousands of players fighting in close proximity to each other. Yet they fail to put in those marketing ads, "By the way, you WILL experience all of this epicness at 10 times slower game play speeds because we cant be bothered to figure it properly. So to prevent severe lag spikes we make everyone play slower...until the node crashes."

CCP, TiDi is not the ultimate solution to lagging out and I hope in the future you can do away with the mechanic, unfortunately I suppose atm it is the only way to play such fights (even though it pretty much ruins the experience). It isn't very appealing to spend an entire evening fighting because game play is slowed down. The worst of it is when tidi fails and the nodes crash anyway.

To be honest you really need to focus more on this and less on the "gimmicks" of new expansions. I realize tidi helps, but it is still a pretty annoying mechanic. You have spoiled your players with a higher standard, why? Well, CCP has pushed the boundaries in terms of MMOs in the past 10 years. We already expect high standards...and when you fail to deliver then it's disappointing.

Fun fact, the titan would have made it out eventually ( most likely downtime ) the only thing we was denied was more carrier kills, it is however a shame the 6 hour battle never got to reach a player made conclusion. Either way a good test run and I look forward to the largest group of capital **** holders throwing them around sometime soon and then posting tears about numbers.

To the OP. when you see the server slowly snapping for 4 hours its clearly not bias and its clearly nothing like the fat finger incident .

gf

wat?

If anything, the general cowardice to commit supers from cfc helps pl/nc/n3, as the amount of scrubcaps needed to kill their supers will crash the node everytime.
