Player Features and Ideas Discussion

TiDi is the solution, not the problem.

The problem is that modern hardware cannot handle the throughput of network traffic and CPU load of thousands of users in a single battle. Multi-threading may help in some cases of the general combat sync thread, but it would only move the goalposts, which all your blobbers would then ruin again.

What needs to be fixed is power projection.

Fix drones!

Do you know what item or module creates the most lag?

I do.

It isn't drones

Lots of objects on a grid may create client side graphics lag or low fps but that isn't the same as serverload or serverlag. Things that create AOE damage create massive lag because that AOE dmg has to be calculated and applied to everything it interacts with. Furthermore things like changing fleet bonuses creates high loads of lag as tons of calculations need to happen.

If someone wanted to load the server down with soul crushing lag there are far more efficient and easier ways to do so then dropping drones.

Russians are unhappy that fights take so long in real time. This is because TIDI because when you shove 1k+ dudes into a system no matter what activity they are undertaking it will load the server and create TIDI. We can all go mining with 1k dudes and it would TIDI the system. All the lazorz hitting asteroids people turning off/on modules. Putting things into / pulling out of cans etc. However TIDI is still better than what we had before where some people just would be black screened or modules would be stuck for hours. Russians need to remember they started this war when they stated they intend to remove N3 and PL from the map. N3 might have struck first but that was only because we have spies within your command structure that tipped us off to your plans.


So I am sorry that you put yourselves into this position only to find out you don't enjoy what you asked for. I am sorry that you are outmatched in every aspect of this conflict other than Warm Bodies. I am sorry that 30 minutes of PVP takes 300 minutes under heavy server load. Remember you (RUS) wanted this war you (RUS) started this war and you (RUS) will now live with your decisions.

You presume too much.
You also derail the topic with some bullshit damage control that is of little interest as well as getting old.
All that rhetoric about 1k+ local, and carriers being used ONLY as the last-resort counter to these numbers is plain rubbish, since you and your HBC serfs steam-rolled Esoteria and the rest of the south with slowcats against 100men fleets just about a year ago.
There were no 1k+ local to oppose you then, there were no goons on standby, and no real threat to you at all.
Don't try to flip your extensive usage of caps only as the last resort to blob countering, since you used it before with no blobs at hand.

Your pathetic attempts to cling to the moral high ground are even more hypocritical in a topic that doesn't deal with politics, nor specific war but with a simple fact -
Thousands of sentry drones do lag the grid to an unplayable condition for disturbing periods of time. That's a fact. You can't argue about that, or can you? It's not an issue of what lags more nor anyone is saying that it's the only thing that causes lag.

The topic starter didn't state/request anything else but to address this issue. Do you enjoy lags? Are other ways of lagging the game relevant to this topic? Wouldn't we all want these other ways of creating lags to be addressed? Write up on each and every one of the ways creating lag in massive fights requesting attention to the issue and I'll be the first to support you in it.
You and the likes of you coming out and arguing with or diminishing this request,to deal with lags caused by drones, as if you employ this lag created by drones to your needs in some conflict or other - that what makes me raise an eyebrow. I'd expect every EvE player to consolidate behind a "fix lags" request, but then again i don't see how i can use it to my needs, maybe that's it.

Completely irrelevant to the subject at hand. Do take your comparative lag generation theory to a topic dedicated to "what causes more lag" or something.

This game is broken.... fix it plz

Fix sentry drones. I love sentry drones, sentry drones are cool. Fix sentry drones. Mass scoopdeploy and abbandon sentry drones generate TD , lags, and crushing node as a result. I want kill PL and N3 but they use lagogenerator and i cant do this.

Do you, personally, enjoy 30 minutes fights that last 5 hours?
If no, why dont you turn to CCP and say: hey, those lags are crap, fix them.
If yes... oh well.

nah the not so strange thing is that these lags were out like forever , you didnt care for any fix for it ,maybe you enjoyed its benefits , but suddenly it is used agains you , you cry louder than a whole kindergarden found out their chocomilk got spoiled

why else suddely fixing this "drone" lag got so important?

Fix drone lag
