Hopefully they keep the cyno changes as it does help prevent the Hot Drop o clock. Or at the very least now you know when it coming. 🙂

Lol? I guess you haven’t seen this guys posting? 🤔

Just to be clear: I’m answering to person whos main posting history for the last month or so was to blame nullseccers for anything bad in this game (controlling CCP included) and calling them names. Advising to gtfo and quit if they are not happy with recent changes. Saying that they don’t matter and the game is better without them.

Disappointing.

It’s really hard to maintain any goodwill or hope that things will get better when the CEO spends the summer articulating at least a vague direction direction for the game - making player effort and actions more difficult and the game more challenging for veterans - only to revert most of the progress with little notice or communicating some new path to get there, or an alternate destination.

I think all of us knew the current status quo wasn’t going to be the new normal and some compensatory changes were likely to come. But just reverting this after repeatedly telling us how great the blackout was for the game’s economy? That is depressing and sad. They have painted themselves into a corner where this action can’t be seen any other way as choosing cash (aka pandering to the farmers) over good game design.

CCP has to get their communication act together. You can’t tell us how great the blackout is for the game, and then revert it… just because? I’m not watching the stream so maybe there is more nuance being communicated that I am missing, but just going back to the game-breaking state of safe, scalable resource generation in nullsec without comment is mind-boggling to me.

Throw us a bone here CCP. Why should we play a game that you are reverting to a previous state that your CEO, Community Manager and a senior game designer told us was unsustainable? What are you going to do to fix the economic situation that you told us was so harmful for the game if not the blackout?

The actual truth is you’re a forum troll who constantly spouts negative stuff at everyone, constantly saying ‘No, go away’ or ‘Good Riddance’.

you like blackout ? for what ? for you are not see and can catch people in nullsec ?

but large majority of people stop to play with blackout then no target for you now

i know i roaming many time and i see nobody in space in many region i run

so even if you like blackout, that i can understand, blackout is not good for you and you will stop game also when you bored to not find target

Less than perfect intel makes for a much better game.

CCP should stop all in-game map intel and all stat reporting to third party tools.

Players are doing that because they think CCP will cave.

Most would come back to a much **better game** if CCP didn’t cave in.

While not supporting Blackout i need to agree with what you have said here. CCP hurt its image again.

If you are going to make significant changes (like Blackout) you don’t simply stop as soon as you see immediate reaction. You give new system a chance to stabilize before you start to fix it. Blackout needed few more months or be told to be there forever to make people really adapt and not simply wait it out.
