Funny you know, I really hate to debunk one of your theories once again but.
Was talking to a friend last night in comms - He has been running a ratting carrier in lowsec since BO started, prior to BO he was saving for a super (his first) and estimated he had about 6 months to go before he could get what he wanted.
After 1 month ratting in lowsec, with the same carrier he used every day in NUL, he now has enough to buy a titan (which was his next goal) and his much coveted super.
Is it time for CCP to kill of local in lowsec so players canāt make exorbitant isk?
Lowsec yields Far more isk P/H than the average guy can make in nul, using the same ship type.
Personally I donāt think it was a fail at all.
To their credit, for the first time in a long time CCP tried something that was outside the box - Sure it may not have got the results they were hoping for but at least they tried.
Lets hope the next thing they try has better success and is targeted toward some of the real issues with current Sov.
seems to me the whining cowards were the ones happy to kill defenseless miners and run when actual pvp ships showed up Go ahead, take another break from the game until CCP makes it easy for you again.
You never actually āreadā my posts before replying to them do you.
PS; If English isnāt your first language so translations are hard, then Iām sorry but if that is the case PLEASE find someone who can read and understand simple English BEFORE you reply so badly
IF you ever actually read any of my posts, you would know I am primarily an indy guy who PVPās for funā¦ BO was bad for me.,.
It seems like half of them say I like the blackout because it suits my playing style. The other half says he makes my playing style impossible and has to leave.
Please finally learn that there is more than just your playing style, think outside the box and learn that one playing style canāt exist without the other.
As a participant of the G-Fleet (EVE Berlin) I can tell you that the developers want and have to do justice to every playing style.
From conversations with two Devās I can tell you that there will be more changes in the future.
A local with some time delay as a compromise between the different styles exists as an idea. However, with the current code itās always such a thing.
The bottom line is clear, changes in the local will come, there are several ideas, but what will come is not clear yet.
This isnāt going to magically start a major war in null. The Blackout wasnāt stopping any major wars. Whatās stopping really major wars remains supercapitals, and how little any group can afford to lose them. The perception that CCP will make significant changes in a very short period of time also dampens anyoneās appetite for a major war, and this announcement: āhey, yeah, Blackoutās over in 2 days, and thereās no news article or devblog on itā doesnāt help dispel that.
It all depends on your definition of fail. This debacle could have been avoided if instead of them being dumb, they would have first released the intel towers. But now that they screwed so bad, next time they even dream about something as dumb, I would strongly suggest for @CCP_Falcon, @CCP_Lebowski, @CCP_Fozzie, @CCP_karkur, @CCP_Masterplan, @CCP_Antiquarian, @CCP_Hellmar to explain in painful detail every reason, every stat and each thinking behind their supposed genius ideaā¦
Yea, changes are always to be expected, but this BO is probably the dumbest idea the numbnuts over at CCP could have come up. And CCP better have a god damn good explanation for any future changes because thanks to their stupidity and how dumb they have acted on this BO (including the bs interviews over at TiS), I would argue they have lost any equity they had with the majority of the pilots
Since the BO began, when I heard that statement of making it hard for group A and easy to group B, I took it exactly as what developed into.
āThisā is BS.
To me what matters and why I speak about war is that the whole deal has divided players when it was totally unnecessary.
That this chaos could be so good, but in order to do it the right way, would and has proven to be a difficult task.
I donāt think there will be more actions from CCP cloaked by the āchaosā. So far, I have not seen but one. The rest is just devs doing what theyāve always done.
But having this division was wrong. Maybe not a war but when people are divided, something happens.
Perhaps it will not be THE MAJOR WARā¦ but just some increase in PVP at the borders . The small entities most affected by BO can very well call it war, it wonāt make it to the news but everything is relative.
well it was an experiment. ccp is a company. they look at data. they have to implement controls in order to get accurate dataā¦ cant just blackout for 3 days and expect accurate data on the blackout. Gotta get past all the crying and peel the layers back in order to see what remained.
That being saidā¦ regular local sucks. need to delay local
According to @Arrendis, CCP (or at least Falcon) is too busy getting drunk and wasted to even care about posting an official announcement and make it an exciting announcement, similar to their BO announcementā¦
I honestly donāt give a F if som1 gets drunk. It should have been Falcon himself with Hilmar giving the news. Their backpedal started with the wrong foot but I can accept that it was as rushed as dire the situation is.
Itās called accountability. I donāt expect anything but the right thing, the right attitude from CCP.
If they are too full of themselves, wellā¦ adios amigo.
