Time dialation : leave it to ccp to make server lag a new added feature
"Fixing Lag" is about the one area where CCP have genuinely delivered. Right now, you can get fights of up to 500 on an unreinforced node before lag even starts to kick in. Reinforced nodes can handle over 1000. I don't know of any other MMO that delivers big fight performance like that, and the dev team that have been managing this, Team Gridlock, are continuing to make slow but steady improvement.
Time Dilation is about mitigating the gameplay distortions of lag when it does occur. TiDi isn't a cure for lag, it's a symptomatic palliative. Like taking a couple of paracetomols when you have the flu - you're not cured but you do feel a hell of a lot better. It's not something that CCP are doing instead of fixing lag, it's something they're doing as well as.
You guys. This is MMORPG forum at its best isn't? Cynical hyenas raging over some bone.
Let's give them a chance. Let's see if they are true to their word and to what extent. This is a first step to the right direction and I bet this won't be the last.
Thank you CSM, thank you unsubscribers for this moment. You have well carried our point. Now that's done and CCP seems to be reasonnable again, let's not kill the game we love.
If you've played EVE only a few months, then maybe you don't know EVE that well enough to be posting on balancing ships and null sec. Maybe you shouldn't be posting on lag either as you prolly have never experienced it in a large fight. What? You are saying ou went to Rens or Jita on a Sunday afternoon and it was a bit laggy? C'mon.
At the moment CCP is not SOE and EVE is not SWG.
If ever they turn into Darh Vader, THEN we can copy and paste every post ever written on the SWG forums, change a detail or two and go at it all over again. But until then, let's drop the cynical approach a notch and let's be hopeful, patient and realistic.
1 small tip for eve newcomers : if you ever lose something by bug don't tell CCP that was by bug , tell them you have lost your connection with TQ otherwise you will get bot autorespond or/if after few days weeks .
player: hello i've found bug - *description*
CCP : eve has no bugs you are mistaken it obviously related to your crappy PC

My 2 cents.
Unfortunatly, some of the people raging in this thread quit over gameplay issues and not the current drama, but they're using the current drama to justify their own failure to "get" eve online. There are people that are truely upset with CCP itself and their recent behavior, but I find most of the raging haters of eve are just free trial flunkies. Eve seems to breed jealous one night stands that take pleasure in all and any of her misteps. ex-boyfriends
Well, EvE dudes do Hilmar Veigar Pétursson words read like a PR exercise again. Fact EvE make somehwere between 45 to 55 millions of USD from you every year, Hilmar is the rare species of Icelandic millionaire, and he will squeeze every buck he can get away with. The cash shop is still there, they are just going to spin it a bit to make it more palatable to the EvE player base.
CCP's true colors are once again shining through. They release yet again a partial expansion(Incarna). It'll stay broke and neglected for x number of months and years like the rest. I give up on the game.
Cancelled my accounts today. EVE is by far one of the worst managed games on the Internet.
If it was those 4 ships, I'd agree. Just poop out some drones and the dessies are dead meat right away. And then it's just 2 frigs, and I'd hope a ship (I don't recognize it) of that size could regen as fast as they could DPS, at least long enough for the drones to kill the frigs.
Exactly.
So I was wrong in my orignal post how?
All I want to be in a sci-fi space-based MMORPG is a small freighter pilot / combat ship but unfortunatley a game does not exist that knows a thing about balance.
They dangle just as many carrots to make sure everyone wants to keep paying to play to "upgrade" to the next linear progression step.
3 assault frigates or interceptors will easily kill a single battleship without taking a hit.
Web the drones and closely orbit the battleship with an AB instead of MWD. Take down the webbed drones with a few volleys and then grind away on the helpless battleship that can't hit you with it's big guns.
Anyways, all the announced changes, balancing and features aon't do anything to make the whole 0.0-thingy better. They need to adress sovereignity, moonminerals, true-sec, jumpfreighters and jumpbridges aswell to make it impossible for a very few large alliances to control all of the available space. And make outposts destructible... there's way too many of them these days.
The large alliances own the CSM and have CCP by the balls. It's their game and no one else is invited unless they join the borg collective.

CCP never changes
' balancing " = nerf
they don't care about RMTers, isk must flow
Balancing does require nerfing, don't you agree athcore?
