Are you gone full retard? Look at killboards and figure out that I don’t generally hunt in nullsec. Its boring when you take interceptors out, get 4 jumps in and get capblobbed. With interfuckingceptors.

And I’d say it has more to do with having a pair. Cause you’re so damned obviously terrified of losing your precious local.

Can I have your stuff?

Quoting for posterity.

Also why did you have slaves in a shield slepnir lol.

Also if you hunt and live in WH’s, why do you care so much about nullsec?

I’m not happy about it, but at least this change follows a story line unlike 99% of the nerfs that happen. Again, CCP, I’m not a fan but I’ll get over it and keep on playing. For those of you who are disembarking, I hope you all fly safe.

Great change. Getting rid of some of the Null AFK player base and making Null a hunting zone again is fine. Make it permanent. CCP, your on the right track. Keep it up. :slight_smile:

Im not an afk miner or boter, but it will kill my game play as i often play or mine solo and even with local struggle to beat local due to hi pings, but thats apart of the game, i Live where i live and if caught im pretty much dead to the roamers, but this change gives me zero chance and will increase activity, and while the increased activity isn’t a bad thing , it is when it forces me to stop playing the game because I have no chance of survival.

And tbo I probably wont pay for a game that forces me to wait till my corp mates are on and we can group together as thats a once or twice a week thing due to TZ…

RIP eve

You should get a mining permit.

But who will know you are there? D Scan is there to help even a solo player evade. To catch you, they now have to hunt you down. To hunt you, they now have to know you are about. Evading for a solo player has just improved hasn’t it??

The new Intel bots are amazing! They sit a cloaked ship near the gates (because cloaking isn’t broken) and as soon as you have to decloak, the bot scrapes your name, ship type and corporation… Honestly the Intel is way better, contains ship types and is instant!

Way more reliable than player Intel, so yes! Thanks CCP!

Don’t forget the new agency intel bots, that will report new signatures popping up in systems that were empty.

Are we still pretending this has anything to do with ā€˜Free Intel’?

Best change in ages.
Pls CCP make it permanent.

If all things in eve where equal yes you are correct, but unfortunately they arent, theres the dual dick value ie players that play both sides and theres plenty around and log on thier blue chars and find where ppl are and then log on thier neut alts knowing exactly where to be… it happens alot )) but oh well

I’m starting a non-profit organization that makes carebears feel better about themselves after they get killed by mean old pvp’ers.

If you donate your stuff to me, I’ll use it for good. And I’ll lobby CCP that PvP is bad.

Thank you for your generosity.

Here’s a protip.
Quit drinking the koolaid that retards are feeding you.
Try playing while pressing V every once in a while and find you’ll live better than most.
I played overseas with a damned satellite. Little give a ā– ā– ā– ā–  given about ping times. it sucks yeah but its not a deal breaker nor does local have one damned bit to do with it :smiley:

As one who solo-roamed null and WH for 3 years and never got caught, this is pretty much the core argument. Yes you ā€œdon’t know who is thereā€. But neither do the people who will drop a fleet of supers in the system 1 minute after you enter it.

If CCP is going black out all locals with a delay, such a delay will not work in High Sec due to the heavy traffic through the numerous systems.

Black Out for High Sec should be based population values of how often Capsuleers frequent a system. If a system sees very little activity then it should remain on a Black Out list. But for systems such as Jita or the favorite ganking pipelines those local channels must remain open at all times in order to see who is in local.

Blacking Out local channels in High Sec will definitely give the upper hand to Gankers and War Dec’s along with Faction War runners.

High Sec is driven by keeping the High Sec systems open and free and is not Null Sec and should therefore never be governed by the mannerisms used in Null Sec.
