QQ more. problem solved. go back to mining.
Bye! Cant say we’ll miss people like you.
I can’t really understand what kind of reply (to ticket) was.
“Local chat isn’t an intelligence tool”.
WHAT?
So, hisec is now null?
I’ve lost a hulk with expensive modules, due to gankers, while chat "have problems.
And the reply to ticket is that???
Idk, but imho, it’s a really strange that:
_chat not working
_massive gankers appear
_police not comings
_no reimbursement (with one of the most demential reply I’ve read).
What stupid ticket answer from CCP. The chat system is part of the game. Doesn’t matter if they like it or not. CCP is screwing it up and then denial it.
< sarcasm >CCP knows how to keep a playerbase and show responsability < / sarcasm >
@CCP_Paragon Is this 3rd party issue the same issue that is causing the chat channels not to log the removal of individuals from the chat? I just started the clients, and the one that came up first has more participants in “Rookie Help” than the other two, ten more in just a couple of moments, and the number rises equally between the three clients (and never goes back down from what I see).
Just to let you know that Local may be more stable than before, but it failed to update the member list for an entire hour… Just now.
If that “third party” is the underlying cause, change to another one (because its exactly what you’ll end up doing anyway) or switch to an in-house environment. The hassle you guys get due to reasons outside of your control for such a simple system isn’t worth whatever you’re paying for that “third party”, what was it called again…
… oh yeah, “service”…
@CCP_Paragon We were without a venue for a week, the null-sec pilots did not enjoy their weekend because their game was broken, the chats did not work and they tell us through a ticket that only 5% of the server sent claims to request that we be compensated for the wasted days?, let me explain something, for nullsec it is valuable to have a local chat in sight, so you know who enters your system to ■■■■ your balls, without local there is no content in all nullsec, I lost 7 days of farming, I could not enjoy of the fleets of my alliance because the fleet chat didn’t even work, I couldn’t communicate with my corp colleagues who were out of the discord and among other things, how do you want us to sell escalations? I don’t think there is active telepathy in the game when we put on our headphones.
You could try hitting the d-scan button. That’s a neat trick.

Given you’re a member of the CSM and their objective is to “bring focused and structured feedback from the community to CCP and represent their views and interests”, sarcastic advise about using dscan doesn’t seem terribly helpful despite being frequently parroted by wormholers throughout this thread.
Dscan might help with local being unavailable, perhaps you could explain how it assists with fleets, alliance/corp chat, rookie help, trading, and all of the other things that the chat system is used for, without the need for people to supply their own external alternatives?
Since eve is a massively multiplayer game it isn’t an unreasonable expection for the players to be able to communicate in a reliable manner.

Though I have been promoting the open thought of alternative playing situations, I still agree with the majority that a buggy chat is not a good thing. Yes, you can still play (thus no refund, sorry, everyone), though a buggy chat is quite annoying and, as recently stated, makes certain play styles impossible. Big one, fleet communications! Solo PvP is OK; small group gangs, maybe, as long as the small group has external comms. Bloc-level attacks are OK, for they usually use different comms anyway. It is in between that is terrible. Carebare work is essential for the economy; thus, discouraging their activities for over a week is also wrong. I like the idea of bringing chat back in-house, though still a different system from the game itself. You (CCP) need to make it reliable!

- Does your reply improve the conversation? No.
Great way to antagonise people who have issues with broken features that make their gameplay unplayable in certain situations. Its great for hunters in null pvping… not so great for pve! Chat windows are one of the main aspects of this game. Personally i’m not logging in as much until its fixed and I believe we should all be compensated in game time for the timeframe from when this was broken. I have recently come back after 10 years and this is a shambles it does nothing but harm to the player base.

Wormholers going to wormhole
I mean imagine if it could be possible to control a null system by shutting down any connection to it at any time. It is almost as if wormhole life is designed for the anti social.
The fact that Mark is representing the CSM is irrelevant, the scorpion will always sting the frog no matter what. It is just their nature.
Absolutely clownish response.
At least when I referred to D-Scan earlier, I was more in line with what was being stated.
Well… So no refunds, what was lost won’t be returned, happy gankers.
All resolved with an insane answer… Climbing on mirrors 
Simply put, if it happens again in the future, we’ll kick it in the …
Do you realize that WE PAY to play? Congratulations, really great support. 
I wish we can still shoot NPC stations and blow them up…
I wanted to go with some ironic weapons for Paragon and the GMs but ironically, the Image Server is broken at the moment. GGeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee CCP.

Hi Mark.
Could you please explain how D-Scan would help me with the lack of fleet chat? I feel like there is a feature here I haven’t discovered in 15 years.
Looking forward to your feedback.

You do know Squizz is busy working on Zkill right? Right?
This isn’t a Squiz issue this is a CCP issue. I’d file a bug report to let them know, but they broke their bug reporting site a couple of months ago and haven’t borthered to fix it so I sent a support ticket instead xD
