Very cool CCP dont let some idiots brigading your post change your mind, the game needs more explosions and less safety in nullsec :+1:

Meanwhile the NS carebears are terrified of delayed local.

my 6 rorq pilots in training are unsubing as soon as this gets posted. (paid not plexed)
They’ll come back if this goes away, no you can’t have their stuff, they’re slaves anyway. But their autopay is now turned off.

My PvP/Fax, Carrier, and Dread pilots will stay because I expect TONS of content and they’re all blops trained with covert cynos :smiley:

Highsec is the elite content zone.

Always enjoyed being cloaky in a worm hole. Sure makes solo ganking more fun.

you don’t see them either when you enter a system
Also learn to use scouts

Oh yay we get to kill more stuff without them knowing we are there… Oh wait now theres less stuff to shoot cause they all unsubbed :frowning:

this is not going to get that. what is needed is to change/nerf citadel timers. that would, i should think, bring back more content

Yeah right goon linemember #13846

Stop trying to metagame

Most are missing the point here. Local chat provides the players interaction with others and is not merely an intelligence resource. Eve is fundamentally a social game and depriving the community of this interaction will make New Eden a lonelier place. We had a taste of this earlier when the chat system failed. Removing local won’t provide the added content people crave it will do the opposite.

I wonder if tuzy tells you to undock in a goon ping will you actually undock?

CCp … you are killing the game … slow, but exactly. You want more real money from players pockets … but maybe you will not have players soon …

uh huh. says the guy from the alliance that couldn’t even undock to contest their keepstar timers. that is part of what is killing the game… people that don’t put effort in because they’re too busy being ~elite~

feel free to chat, helps enemies though to know you are there.
may i recommend private/coalition channels?

All games work on reward being proportional to risk. Either LS and WHs need better rewards or NS needs more risk. I personally don’t care which.

It’s amazing that Eve has flaunted this basic game design rule for so long, particularly since it was designed primarily as a PvP game.

And let’s face it, you don’t even need to be paying much attention. One person or bot can be monitoring local on behalf of several players.

People feel free to chat when everyone knows they are there. Many pilots hook up even fleet up after local interaction. That goes away.

This is disappointing to say the least. I feel like ive wasted the last 11 years investing in this game to get somewhere only for this game to be taken into an entirely different direction. These features are not my EVE and they are not what wish to pay for. Today I unsubbed 10 accounts and I cant say id return even if these changes are reversed. CCP has had a vocal minority yelling in their ear for too long and for the sake of this game CCP, I hope you find some ear plugs. Otherwise the changes you make now will see to it that a year from now the sub 5K player base you have left will be even more unhappy because theres no one left for them to shoot.
