Local Comms Blackout - Discussion Thread

That’s a really bad idea.

People who want WH local can live in WH. There is a reason why there’s only a few pilots who live in WH.

Also good luck finding people in null in anything smaller than a carrier with a cyno in places like Delve. Everywhere else will be even more empty.

You guys will loose plenty of customers, that’s really bad. I want CCP to have customers that can pay the bills for CCP.

Well done CCP! Good step to screw over your player base even more. Good step towards deviding the community even more. I am looking for a job as someone who has experience with ppl. Might need a few new community managers some time soon. :slight_smile:

phase one: sell the game to another company
phase two: implement forced content to the null sec region with the drifters attacking player owned structures
phase three: remove local communications in these areas
phase four: watch the game die so we can all retire with fat wallets (darn those dedicated players who have stuck around for 16 years this will sure get them to quit now)

Please hire some developers that don’t live on a volcanic fart and have a proper day/night cycle.

I was already almost not playing due to luck of a massive wars with capital fights (capitals is why I started play this game at first place) and after drifters and this change I’ll probably stop even spinning my VNI. I’m really sorry for new players who will try to play this game and will be ganked 24\7 by vet players (rarely including me).

I suppose at least this will stop people from complaining about cloaky campers.

If i wanted to go live in a WH with no social life in local I would just move there but i guess if you CCP are forcing me into this, i guess i can go club some seals in HiSec and see if they like it

we need more Salt CCP, this is great advertisement for your game!

Null sec is safer than HS, that’s basically a fact.
Fites haven’t been happening much lately too.
Lowsec is pretty much ded because why would you need it?

About damn time null local is nuked. This is literally the best thing to ever happen to EVE

Hey CCP would you guess do me a favour and check up on who ever got this bad idea to make sure they have not suffered a stroke or are having an insane blood alcohol level.

someone had bad mushrooms or some poop.

also making local go bye bye is a bad idea, having a slow local with a delay of a few minutes would be fine but this ■■■■■■■■ is causing to much of an issue. the biggest groups will suffer the least from this and small groups just lost the abillity to use most of their stuff as they will have no idea how many cloaked enemies are in range

In my opinion it is the worst idea you ever had. It is not fun, its harming fun, it is just turning nullsec in “dscan online”, that’s not giving any reward for the increased risk, and is just plain painful for little alliances who can’t have scouts at the gates.

Wait…you’ve got a shortage of “fluid router” stuff for the comms networks but haven’t run out of the stuff you use to make extractors/injectors? This blackout, if not permanent, is lame. Just make it permanent but ffs remove injectors from the game.

Changing the dynamics of the game will create serious problems. While you are aware of this, you do not hesitate to make such changes by taking this risk. You also ignore the number of players you lose. Direfiters is an activity that cannot go further than just damaging players without any return. Is he throwing blueprint for a new technology? Or do you have a profit for the players to destroy them? No … So why is there a ridiculous activity that does not offer players anything, causing serious harm to them? wormholes like a jump gate in and out? Then you can also remove jump gates and replace them with gates that open at certain times, such as wormholes. Then you can argue that what you are trying to do is a logic.
The day I started EVE that I opened and didn’t play 7 months ago, I met drifter in the astroild belt. The next day I met again and again … Nevertheless, I can be given a chance to EvE’e saying omega, but today I wish I had never said. If your goal is to remove players from the game and new players immediately bored and shut down EvE ‘servers continue in this way. We have made it in the form of sanctions before applying the players’ opinion strongly recommend that you get.
