Local Comms Blackout - Discussion Thread - Part Deux!

Some freighters did die during the event

‘Some’ freighters. Heh. ok.

And freighters die literally every day in highsec. So do mining ships all over HS. I highlighted the freighters in BJ simply because it’s an easy reference for people to understand.

@Mark_Marconi

After all of the talk I was expecting, the dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together , mass hysteria!

Egon?

@Anna_TLA

The doom and gloom is a slow rolling thing, many of us who will quit soon, have time left on our accounts.

@Ikki_Phoenix

absolutely correct. personally I have already cancelled my renewal and indicated it was due to the blackout.

kthxbye!

[Ikki_Phoenix]

LOL, not exactly and not yet. I have a 3 month subscription and that is why I am saying that current subscription numbers dont matter. And I am in agreement with Anna that everything will happen over a period of time.

[Arrendis]

Yes, we know. You’ve mentioned your three month subscription more times than I care to count. We’re all well aware that you have a three month sub that you cancelled because of the blackout. Kinda my point. Repeating it ad nauseum just makes us care even less and wish you’d hurry up and go away already.

I mean, I’m not trying to be a dick about it. That’s just a happy side-effect. But if you’re trying to be persuasive, the more you harp on how you’re quitting, the less people will give a damn.

[Ikki_Phoenix]

No worries, all good

The die because:

• kill rights
• wardec
• paper-thin covetors and retrievers without support or orca to hide in
• flagging traps
• transporting outrageously valuable cargo in one go
  In other words things that could’ve been easily avoided altogether.
  Indeed anything can be killed everywhere given enough ships. But encountering overwhelming force that would kill an orca or procurer just for the sake of killing it is extremely unlikely.

I personally used to move stuff up to 20 billions in cost to jita on autopilot. Never died once.

[Lugburz]

maybe fight if in gang with logi but microgang and solo no; that would be silly.

[Lugburz]

@Litsea_Reticulata

all the people there sit on the undock with Tornado’s, or just camp the few entrance/exit systems with interdictors

LOLWUT??

[Lugburz]

Yep, addmitedly i dun goofed but still…

Malediction | Lugburz | Killmail

Capsule | Lugburz | Killmail

hunting ratters is not only ■■■■, its quite pointless; like trying to kill ventures in facwar plexes…

@Litsea_Reticulata

Projectile or Missile fit? I guess torpedo and cruise is too big, rapid light too small, so rapid heavy?

Normal typhoon and projectile? Of course it is rapid heavies, preferably precision [most of the rats are fast moving frigs so application bonus from typhoon is great here]. Precision cruises with painter in addition to webs could work but torps are out of the question.

@Litsea_Reticulata

In the first week of the Rorqual changes, a rorqual was dying within 15 jumps of me seemingly every 12 minutes. Thought I’d wait out the madness. Then the first rorqual nerf hit.

15 jumps O.o

I don’t know about you but it seems like you got scared - 15 jumps is a LOT of space. Also, you could have used rorq with T2 or augmented mining drones - still better than hulk.

[Valentine_King]

Tell us where you are and we can change that - make things more exciting for you

[Ramona_McCandless]

I flew for three hours before running it into a EvEUni gate camp.

Also that was days ago, way to go response fleet!

[darkestkhan_Eriker]

@Ikki_Phoenix

I would go for a decrease. But subscriptions is not the only item to look at it in my opinion. With many of us buying packages (3 month, 6 month and such), it is really the plex sales, logins and how many renew after their subscription expires… For example, i have 3 month subscription, but just cancelled my renewal and I specifically wrote on feedback that it was because of blackout

Sadly I can’t write reason for subscriptions - for one I don’t get that option, for two I don’t use subs - I just find it easier to manage omega through use of plex.

[Ikki_Phoenix]

Simply dont buy plex

[darkestkhan_Eriker]

Well, if I don’t buy plex then I have to sub. Managing multiple subscriptions is not nice so I plex instead.
Also the more you cry the more I feel like getting more accounts

[Ikki_Phoenix]

LOL

@Ikki_Phoenix

And if they are dumb enough to make it permanent, say good bye to EVE because EVE wont last longer than 1-2 years

You have little to no proof of this, and current existing that we have access to say the reverse.

[Sana_Yamada]

Will be interesting to see what happens concerning locals future with the introduction of new structures.

CCP Blackout Interview - Talking in Stations

Hmm. Trigger warning.

[Anna_TLA]

Actually you are wrong, Ia ma bout to leave since this change makes it terribly annoying to try and be a PVE, part time PVP player.

The game is annoying on the best of days, and this just makes it so I do not want to log in.
