Local Comms Blackout - Discussion Thread - Part Deux!

When you push the krabs too hard and they stop giving you money… Now give us some gifts like 1-2 mil SP to get us to return TY

Now, if only they had attempted to do a decent job and maybe hire a competent Game Design Dev, and/or take on board some of the various ideas players put forward…

Suggestion (maybe been said before, then sorry):

Blackout for 2 months each years at random dates.

Like you know in thoses sc fictions movies where there is a crazy storm coming and everyone hides, thats the type of feeling i mean.

Why would the attackers need to be within 25-50km of the target with anything other than tackle?

Bombers? 100+km range.
Dreads? Lolrange.

If anything, the attackers would be the ones using the cyno suppressor, to keep defenders from defending. Just bring multiple ships for the initial tackle, and have the cyno hang back.

Yeah, shocking, isn’t it? When all of the ‘this will bring back more people than will unsub’ predictions failed, CCP decided to try to cut their losses. Next up: Watching them increase rewards to try to entice people back instead of, once again, dealing with the actual root causes of the problems. Kick that can down the road some more, CCP!

Covetor. As in, one who covets. Only 1 ‘r’.

And yet, clearly this is not the case.

Thats like telling someone they look mad because they don’t want to a parasite on society.

So no I am not mad, I just don’t want to be a null sec whiner baby.

Then they shouldnt be in null. NS wasnt meant to be safe spaces to farm “in peace” it goes clear against the risk and reward approach of the game. And by that statement alone you showed that with local its easier to farm away with less worry, which caused the botting issue in the first place.

a lie, a lie, and again a lie. Well, I don’t believe in such an explanation - we collected data … looked at the bots …
Online fell by half and immediately canceled. Everything is banal rests on money that rule the world, both real and gaming, and this is sad.

P.S. is my subjective opinion. no need to answer, look for answers and engage in controversy I will not :frowning:

It took me years top finally get that there really are no safe spaces. Hi/Lo/Null/WH all have varying levels of danger. IMHO HiSec is the most dangerous as you your enemies are neither marked nor consistent.

EvE is a player driven dynamic environment for those whom can evolve. Adapt or die. Veterans have a huge evolutionary advantage over those with relatively little experience because the persevered through many defeats and learned.

So if your looking for safe space, the SiSi server has nearly 7800 empty star systems to choose from. Go test out new tactics and or new stuff as it appears in SiSi. In the immortal words of Aperture Science’s Cave Johnson, ‘Let’s make some science, test!’

Hello,

i like the wormhole local chat system in nullsec. If you can see the local, you are in nullsec much more safe as in the empire.
In my opion ccp could implement this feature for all time. But ccp has to change the disappear of ships in 0.0 . Because you can then enter a enemy system, logoff and come back everytime with your clocked ship and nobody knows it. Therefore a ship should stay inside a game, if you are in 0.0

Regards

Arh, shame, bring back the blackout!!

“Over the course of the blackout we’ve seen some substantial changes in player behavior and a massive impact on those we believe to be suspected of botting. The duration of the blackout wasn’t specified in order to allow us to gather information without a hard deadline for concluding it.”

so I just this crap and the only reason ccp is ending black out there 9000 people stopped logging so if there is only 28k on at one time and 9k of those people are supposable bots ccp need get finger out and fix this, really in all if 9k people leave, there not all botters. eve a game you need to know wot going happen 6 months down the line if you want plan skills and get trained for mods and ships you plan eve for long run and ccp maybe just lost 9k or more subs due to fact that cares more about the new player than their all player. but ccp knew this there told so many times by people from csm that this blow up in your face but everytime ccp brings a retarded idea like this they never seem to listen, ccp why have csm if you don’t use the the tool that is there you say you listen to player base but time after time you don’t. I found myself I didn’t like the new changes some people will call me a whiner I could care less. I not going pay for a game that is bring and dull. ccp need to add more content to keep people playing they game because subs are important because if you not subed and your alpha you really not going buy plex that boosts ccp money because you limited on a lot of ships so buy plex would be dumb, I glad ccp seem sense but atm with all the stupid idea that ccp put in past few month I going stay unsubbed and see how things play out. since I havnt been that bother to play eve I feel a lot of people are same boat as myself if you don’t log into eve you lose the need to log in and then I think a lot people leave the game, and no you cant have my stuff incase anyone asks.

No idea what that means but gl in your new job!

Could I just, erm, borrow your stuff then? I’ll repay with interest - say, double your money? :grinning:

But, yes, I think you might be right - some who logged off during BO will use it as the excuse to finally win Eve - they’ll be back in a year it it is still online though

I’m quite disapointed to see the return of nullsec local but CCPs decision is understandable and reasonable - at least some good has come of it, namely results on botting.

I feel as though a not-insignificant number of players may have left due to the influence of some grievant leaders.
3rd party community sites could have perhaps been moderated better.

CCP - Nullsec Blackout Concludes!
“The blackout has given us an incredible amount of insight in terms of player ability to adapt to rapid short notice changes”

Sounds like criteria of diagnosis.

CCP could always change it so instead of people automatically showing up in local in null they instead automatically show up in constellation chat. This helps solve the botting issue and yet still gives some security to the null bears. Well, that is if ccp actually fixed the issues with the logger showing information to the client that it shouldnt. But who am I kidding when you have people scrapping data which shows cynos, who jumped in with those cynos, and what they jumped in with.

I am happy to see the end of this bad idee. it was like driving blindfolded.
sorry but the game can not be summed up by clicking continuously on the scanner.
Thx to think about player who are not bot and are not blue card addicts.

Sad little individual that doesn’t know how to spell “Idea” is just sad.

Blackout is amazing, it got rid of the weak in nullsec and presented us with a challenge, eve was once based on a challenged gameplay but ever since whiny new players joined it’s about what can you carebears be given next…

Ok so carebears flagging my post now, and yet again more flagging because I’d rather see the game have a challenge instead of just giving in…

I agree.

CCP keeps making changes to Eve that no one wants, anywhere. Adding content is nice, but taking content or taking content as an excuse to push players to new content no one wants is really stupid.

Null sec is safer than high sec with local chat giving instant intel. Live in low sec doing pvp and you will quickly not care about null bears. I do however agree with you that the blue doughnut has always been a problem and bots are a problem.

Blackout helped solve the bot problem in null but moved them to high sec. What do you suggest to fix the bot problem in null other than blackout.
