No Downtime Discussion Thread

Cluess, aren’t we? Normal asteroid belts provide a tiny fraction of the mined minerals. Ore Anomalies and moons are the places where the vast majority of minerals come from, and those are not affected by DT.

Ooh… I cant wait to see the effect. Normally before downtime, I usually see npc navy ships starts to bump each other or the gate. I wonder what would happened if we let the server to run past downtime. Will it all sploded?

Yes I had this as well,

I absolutely LOVE that one! There is a gate near my 0.5 where that happens EVERY day. Same ship, same gate. Stupid Navy… I did try to bump it off of the gate a few times to be nice, then I thought “Fk this!” and din’t bother again bc they never said thanks. Not even a o7 salute :frowning:

Huh ???

I’m sure you have a point here… I just don’t know what it is.

Edit: wait wait, did you mean clueless ? which is an actual word!!

So I will raise you: illiterate

As in, you must be illiterate if you failed to read & comprehend the “an attempt to” in the bit you quoted, not a fix per se, but an attempt!

But come on back anytime, I’ll be here all week & ah, try the fish!

LOL, well I hope they test it well and acknowledge whatever issues they find. If it turns out that EO servers need to be restarted daily then that’s what they should stick with.

Excellent idea, no need to scan them down and (perhaps) harder for bots to find ?

If you read the whole bit they quoted and do not understand it, then sure, their response makes sense, otherwise, your troll is bad… which makes me sad :frowning:

But I guess it did get me to respond… so well done!

Idiot.

Cypr3ss.

i have long years of MMORPG experience, and daily downtime is one of the reasons that this game has better stability comparing to others. i suggest you don’t break it… i think a small time adjustment is more favorable (if you think it is necessary).

and please add this facts to the concerns board:

  • cosmic signatures - as i see, daily downtime makes them pop more and renews partly hacked data/relic sites
  • opportunistic travelers - sometimes we can wait dt to enter/exit null sec to avoid specific (regular) gate camps (this is a good small gap that should be)

Oh my god!
So CCP is finally implementing a feature they have promised years ago and the only thing some people do is whining?

Thank you CCP for doing this even though someone will always find a reason to complain about whatever you do. Please don‘t give up!

CCP are you being sneaky? I can see many botters being caught. they will log out and back in since their programming assumes a downtime break. CCP you watching the logs?

I dont know… Most of the EVE Playerbase are crying that there is no content.
What i see if no Cosmic Sigs respawn or Belts respawn… Is alot of content!

Miners need to Spread out, if belts are empty… move your Mining fleet to the next System / Region.
If you mined your whole Region, move to the enxt Region.

Also you need to Move your defense to the next region or risk that your Mining fleet get blapt.
If you Move your defense with the Miners, the Homeregion has a small defense and ratters or other things can be catched.

EVE dont need infinity sources. EVE need more War’s.

C&P for Relics / Datas / Combats

Rly happy with this Test :slight_smile:

In contrast to apologists like you other people like to give constructive and fact-based criticism and feedback on proposals and ideas that CCP throws out into the wild. It’s interesting that you consider that “whining”. Considering CCP’s terrific track-record with implementing things this activity is more important than ever.

Downtime sucks, and I am glad CCP is trying to implement and 24/7 Eve with no interruptions.
Keep up the good work guys!!!

CCP have been trying to phase out DT for years. Just because it happens after the purchase by PA doesn’t mean it was down to them.

4 to 5 minutes most day it think is a DT that can be lived with. if this is an experiment and you already think that for the last 24 hours there will be no Asteroid fields then what do you plan to counter this (or any other in game effect that is reset from DT)

Well, don’t spoil the show for those who pay, unless someone else pays even more.
Looks like the Atlantic Zone loses importance.
Now, CCP tries to solve that problem, in mildly rising desperation, because this will be both ugly for the customers and hard work for CCP.
Alas, ignoring the problem is even worse. This “test” is overdue.

CCP have been working on removing downtime for a fair time now.

It used to be a lot longer.

I do appreciate your response. As you may have guessed from my posting history, my comment is related to the fact that CCP tends to post only in non-controversial threads. Example this one. However as far as I can tell, no CCP response on the Hypernet issue and definitely no CCP response to the BO debacle. And I dont call reddit or the TiS interviews a response, but PR stunts…

So, as I said, happy about this no downtime and happy to see you and Explorer join in the discussion. But the truth of the matter is this will be judged on when you, Explorer and the rest of CCP start replying to comments on controversial updates. Actions speak louder than words…

With that said, @CCP_Convict and @CCP_Explorer welcome to the official EVE forums
