Hey guy- when you bring Aeons as your logistics and Titans as your drone trigger, you might be contributing to the length of an engagement.

Just sayin'

Love you buddy


Titans actually being used in combat instead of expensive POS ornaments. How terrible.

Protect me from knowing what I don't need to know. Protect me from even knowing that there are things to know that I don't know. Protect me from knowing that I decided not to know about the things that I decided not to know about. Amen.

Yep. In b4 'omg i keep getting too far from my dronez' and 'omg bombz'. Even if the fight didn't have any tidi there's no justifyable reason for this many drones. If you check km's from a few months ago there never used to be this many...maybe even 1/5 as much.


Must be from Redditz


GRRRR Dronez.

I'm wondering what is CCPs long term plan to fix the node crashingQuestion

Long term plan is the same as the short term plan - diagnose the problem when it happens and fix it. Ideally twice; fixing the root cause and also hardening the system against similar faults.

The causes for the previous three node deaths have been patched on TQ, for example.

It's worth noting that in all recent events it hasn't been the high load that directly causes the node death, but rather errors in the programming that only express at high load or in the kind of highly complex scenarios that large fights contain.

Lies! Obviously CCP is having node crashes on purpose and intend to keep them in the game. There's a conspiracy to have node crashes! You can't trust the system!

Are the causes for the last 3 node deaths publishable?

But seriously you're talking about 2000 entities fighting 2000 entities resulting in a total of 4000 running scripts (plus adding the neutrals like the system celestial and what not ) and some million or so user command inputs every second. Frankly there are few (commercial) machines at the moment that can handle that and not turn into molten silica.
The only viable solution is for CCP to either multi-thread the code and split the input over different processing channels or to acquire one industrial super-computer that would be used only for cases like Asakai.


Then EVE's server cluster gains sentience, and takes over the world. Do you see what you've done now?

Make the node asplosions more spectacular with better grafix ! ! !!

The long term plan is to have TiDi go down to 1% instead of 10%. No more node crashing.

Looking forward to waiting almost 7 minutes between drone volleys, almost 17 minutes to turn off a MWD, 1 hour 40 minutes waiting out aggression on a gate, 8 hours and 20 minutes for siege cycle, almost 17 hours between doomsdays, etc.

Forget node crashes, at that point downtime will be the interrupting factor.


Maybe that day you'll understand it's a kind way of CCP to tell you to stop blobbing like mad?

Except that's exactly the opposite of what CCP wants.

I tried explaining large battles and node crashes to my roommate (whose current MMO is Path of Exile).

His response? "Maybe they need better servers."

I wanted to smack him.

Every single timer goes until downtime.

Let's roll, I'm sure here, too, progodlegend will defeat the blobbers

He just said there was some errors in the programming that they have fixed. Why would they publish the server code anyways??

This is where I point out that you can publish details of what the cause was, without publishing code.

I did not say "publish code", I said "causes".

Ahhh. Like if there was errors in the code when N3PL use sentries? Blink

Or if there's errors in the code when Boat says in his combined domi/dread fleet (with 1/1/1 gardes/curators/wardens) to log in and out again repeatedly while he's at the airport.

It's as if it's impossible to just be curious.

lol I'm just teasing you guys. I would welcome a Veritas dev blog about it all.
