Think they should remove anoms and cosmic signatures along with local chat giving the ratters and miners at least a viable chance to react to a threat, current features offers them up on a silver plater, Shove an apple in the gob to gag em, Roast for 1hr 20 mins

Just becuase EFT and ingame fitting tool sais you do X amount of damage, doesnât mean all that damage gets applied to your ship Pvp is very different to Pve, go look at an old alliance tournament video and look at the amount of damage being applied compared to how much damage their ships are capable of its usually only between 20-50%.
You only do 100% when the target is scram double webbed down.
As the previous person stated I do not believe that this will solve the botting menace in this game. It will just shift it to new ways of botting. If this was all to curb botting this was a stupid change.

In other words you can write there, but nobody will give a â â â â , just usually.
If this is a permanent thing, and nothing will come to counter the effects of it, then I will end playing EVE. I felt that way already when CCP got sold, but said âNah, give them a chance, they payed much money for it, they will not â â â â itâ.
But this is â â â â â â â â . Not 'cause I will not able to rat in a super. I didnât do too much time it even when there was a not delayed local. Not only capitals will be killed. Capitals you maybe can save (especially rorquals) with a response fleet. But how you will save a subcapital. It will be dead in the minute when the incoming fleet landed. Or somebody will watch the gate visually without a single blink 23/7.
Something like this could be a nice thing, ~7-8 years ago. But CCP let people farm like hell for years, and now they take away the options from newer guys, but the gathered isk stay. So basicly everybody else already should start to move from null, cause everybody knows a war ends when one side run out of isk.

pvp has the same application formulas as pve, and you need to know your target rat stats to be able to tell if you have enough application mods, which you are clearly ignorant to.
And exactly because of the resists and application issues, we use ehp calculations, which are able to tell you exactly how much damage will be applied. An average battleship tank would be around 50k ehp. pve ships usually have less, so itâs possible they die on first alpha strike. Bombers would have painters to ensure full application, and on most battleships itâs not even needed (would be needed on a mach).
So youâre not only stupid and ignorant, but donât even know the very basics of damage calculation theorycrafting?
So Its time to support the Nul sec blocks and destroy the entire HS economy, corporations, alliances and their way of life in HS and letâs see jita becoming a system with 300ppl in mid day. Try to move anything in these market regions⌠you will be dead. Go Go Null blocks.

It will cripple the âbotting menaceâ in the sense that botting is easy to spot and hilariously easy to trap when it canât use local. Even nowadays people just find a bot then log out where it was ratting then log back in after a couple minutes. Now you donât even hafta log out. Just cloak.
Go cry elsewhere, obviously if a fleet goes and fits specifically for you then its going to be gg for you no â â â â sherlock but if they are fit for hunting caps its not the same, which bomber is going to fit a target painter when they go cap huntingâŚ
https://zkillboard.com/kill/77296968/ this is from cap kill earlier of one of the dudes fits.
But all this arguing is in vain as anoms will be worthless compared to everything else in null so w.e.
Bots are crippled much less than everyone else because they would have intel bots in a flash. They will get data on you entering and jump ansiblex to another system until you leave.
Why are some people blaming high sec? We had nothing to do with CCPâs decision. I actually wouldnât mind if they got rid of local here too.
Jita is already a dump. I havenât bought anything there for years. Burn it as much as you want lol.
This shouldâve been done years ago, letâs see how it turns out.
Still wonât be any different. Unless fit full brick tank, there is no pve-capable battleship in the game that can take 80k damage, even with imperfect application, and live.
ED: Itâs almost like youâre saying fleet has deserved to kill me because they took a herculean effort to form up.
Thatâs why I say that risk-reward of ganktards needs to be fixed before any sort of game breaking.
I donât understand your argument. Anoms will still be the same worth. Itâs just nobody will be able to farm any because of how stupidly easy it is to become a free target, which is something I wonât pay CCP for.
been back 5 weeks after a 4 year break from last time ccp screwed everyone over. im guessing this will see player participation drop again. way to go ccp

Well yeah, that is what I was getting at, I have a few that throw for 80km without killing DPS to muchâŚgenerally bomb gank fleets are distributed EWAR over the entire fleet, at 120km your DPS is what? 300-400? To much time on grid you have to kill â â â â and GTFO.
Really excited to see how this plays out, good job CCP. I see additional accounts in my future. I have also been contacted by friends who never played eve before but have heard of the stir caused by the drifters and local changes, wanting to know how they can get involved.

CCP should present how much ACCS were de-subbed in past month and how much re-subbed

I donât mean it like that, I just mean if they form up to counter your fit perfectly then there is very little 1 person can do against that, its an inevitable death waiting to happen.
you should tell then NEVER try and play EvE coz EvE lost itself thatnks to Fozzy and other âtalentedâ peoples in CCP
