CCP pleace return the Nullsec Local Blackout. its time now!
Hell no!!!
Absolutely hell yes. It should be brought back in some form, perhaps in the form of a blackout deployable. @Brisc_Rubal said he would bring it up. Question isā¦ did he?
I brought it up in the context of the roaming weather feature.
IĀ“m positive the guy who brought this up was fired a year ago, and for a good reason. Stop hitting the carcass with a branch. Its dead.
Eve is a social game. Without local it is less social.
THATāS NOT WHAT I MEANT YOU RED-DOTTED FOOL
The only way youāre going to get any kind of blackout is by shoe horning it into something that already exists. I donāt think theyāll do a deployable. A storm with blackout as a feature is way more likely.
Local is almost never used for social purposes, itās purely an intel tool for knowing if/when a threat or target is in the system.
And again, as has been said over many threads, if CCP is that dumb and they want EVE dead within weeks of them re-releasing a blackoutā¦Please stop promoting such non-sense and instead have them provide details about the servers and how far along they are with Hadean, which should be their focus and priority
They just provided two updates on the servers and server performance. As for Hadeon, Iāve asked, but thatās a long, long term technology change, not something we will see any time soon. You might as well go over there and ask those guys how theyāre doing. They arenāt part of CCP - theyāre separate company. It would be like asking EA how far along Unity is.

May I have the distinguished privilege and pleasure of being your first friend?
Hardly a day goes by when I donāt recognize a streamer or someone I used to play with and strike up a conversationā¦sometimes even reconnect. Other times itās very useful for information about getting diplo, or just trading gibes, or offers of recruitment. Unless one is in those rareā¦āno talking in localā authoritarian outfits, local is one of the most useful ingame social tools in the game.
not by you, but hey are you even playing eve?
Can we get blackout back? To many people complaining about cloaky camping, which would be a non tactic if local didnāt exist.
Please, for god sake, stop with this BO non sense.
As far as the cloaky issue, it has always been a problem, and what CCP needs to do is to give a counter play for it.
Why ? are you having a hard time killing pve ships in a PvP ship?
There are already many counter plays to AFK cloaking. The fact that āsolo farm AFK 23/7 with zero riskā is not one of them is not a game design problem.
counter play is something active you can do to force the cloaky to move
and there is no active way to counter a cloaky
No, that is just one narrow subset of possible counters that you have decided to focus on to the exclusion of all else. Iām sure itās no coincidence that itās the one most desired by RMT botters.
