If we must keep this redline mechanic, then can we pleaaaassseeee get the redline timer fixed?
Its infuriating watching my dropship exlode half a meter from the end of the redline...with 7 seconds left on the clock....
All im asking for is an accurate representation of the time left in the redline, so I can respond accordingly.

Hmm, maybe the cost of snipers should get bumped up a couple hundred thousand isk since we're wasting more assets trying to get those cowards killed |

Not sure what you're getting at
Im an AV incubus. I chase redline tankers when I know I have the time remaining to kill them as they flee into their safety bubble.
My issue is timers saying 18 seconds when they really mean 11

Don't tell atiim, exploding with 5 secs on the clock serves me right for going into the redline (despite the fact maps are smaller and the redline is larger these days)

I dont believe in tanks being invulnerable thanks to some arbitrary line drawn in the sand, so unfortunately I cant share your same acceptance.
If I have 11 seconds, tell me I have 11. If I have 3, tell me I have 3. I despise the redline mechanic, but at the very least I wish it wasnt such a damn liar.

The timer starts the moment you cross the line. Except, if you go in with your ADS full throttle with the afterburners on and everything, you are going to rocket right past the line, and by the time the game draws the countdown clock, you've actually already spent x amount of time in, which doesn't show on the clock.
Sometimes I go red line hunting too, so Ive seen the timer behave like this. But I mean, anytime I go into a redline, Im 90% expecting that I could lose what I went in with, especially if i push the point of no return. |

I was going to make a comment about not hoing into the redline, then I saw "tankers". Carry on.

Agreed. The broken timer is a glitch, it should be fixed.
Expanding the redline on many maps forces dropships to go in an out of the redline, even if just performong evansive manuevers. I would much rather have the redine pushed back far enough where siting on it, or the edge is too far for redline players affect an part of the fight. That would be roughly 300+ meters from either the closest objective, or the main objective.
But thats just a dream. Fixing the glicth though, that would be very useful.

This is actually the best explanation ive heard, though it does still seem inconsistent, because sometimes I get down to the last few milliseconds and survive, and other times its the 5 to 8 seconds. If all goes well ill be able to record again sometime this week, and ill make sure to scour my footage for any instances of this, to better analyze whats up.
Like I said though, your explanation makes the most sense so far, other than it being straight up glitched. I always assume ill lose my ship the moment I hear thst idiot rdv coming down with my ISK. I too expect to lose my ship in the redline, it just never fails to frustrate when that timer lies.

The timer is accurate if you're not scanned and the enemies don't hack anything 
The timer, visually, is client side while the server still dictates how long until you die. If something uses the same mechanic to render text in the same spot as the redline counter, I assume it "fights" for ticks and a such gets out of sync with the server.

This happens to me often as I like going in and killing the redline snipers.
I have no trouble reproducing the glitch as I go in and out of the redline.
First time in the counter is right but after coming out and going back in is when it seems to glitch.
Never had problems on first entry but not saying it can't happen. |

Beaten by the redline bug
Edit btw its a client side bug as you can time it to the video that I explode after spending 20 seconds in the redline, but the timer on screen is still showing I've got 5 secs left

It's a lag issue I'm guessing. If you're sitting on the server the odds of being affected are nil.
This only happens to me when the framerate problems start spiking and the rubber banding begins. But it happens. I've been killed by the redline at 5 seconds. I've also gotten out three seconds after tge time clock runs out.
Everything I have seen points to lag and a position desync beybetween client and server.

the only time it has happened to me, i hacked a turret close to the red line
and turned around to sprint the ten meters back.
died one meter from coming out of the red line with seven seconds left.
first time in the red line that game. but i got my 11th hack and my five keys so i really didnt mind.

So... Is this likely to get fixed?
Because given the introduction of the small maps and redrawn battlegrounds I find myself having to use the redline more and more.
I would like a review of the whole redline mechanic (for example by adding different tier zones kind of like the changes to passive scan range)

I agree it's caused by repeatedly crossing into redline zone ..sometimes the timer even stays up after your out if the redline and kills you ...it starts flickering

I'm now convinced CCP can't test this game properly. This is a constant problem caused by server side lag which I guess never affects you guys.

That is an awesome presentation.
True, death happens on 20 seconds into the redline.
Funnily enough, the timer starts reasonably on time with entering - so the timer isn't either showing actual seconds or takes steps back.
Ahh the inertial dampeners are back to normal! ^ ^
Thank you.

Nah, the redline is deep enough.
the timer makes it so that your own home redline is progressively safer the further in you are,
and progressively more dangerous the closer you are to the edge.
The safety is not on/off which is a good thing.
Ahh the inertial dampeners are back to normal! ^ ^
Thank you.
