Local Comms Blackout - Discussion Thread

[captain_leigh]

got to love these posts but people are missing the point lol.
all these pvp toons on here saying how great this is that no-one can see them coming anymore only chase after pve pilots.
there will be no pve pilots for you to chase anymore because no-one will want to blindly undock their ships.

[Root_er]

It’s alsmot like there’s an overabundance of the building blocks of the T1 ships or something.
Oh wait, there is, and it’s caused by Rorquals.

ISK is getting cheaper, and so are basic minerals.

[Deadmans_Shoes]

I agree. Drifters already made me less likely to undock. Now i’m just gonna quit eve. they broke the game.

@Emperor_Pohjola

@CCP_Falcon 17 accounts unsubscribed between my wife and I. Good job with this stuff killing your own game. Just watching the online count since this has started drop, and these are your paying players you won’t be getting back.

Guess this is fine with Hilmar cashing out from PA, if he runs it into the ground he won’t have to come into work anymore.

You must not have been playing for very long, everybody from null to highsec has been asking for delayed local in null for LITERALLY YEARS. CSM after CSM have begged CCP to do this and now they finally are doing it. HTFU or GTFO.

[Randolph_Jackson]

yeah so now that wont be a problem with triggering intel channels, fit your ratting paladin with a scram and have fun.

[Atin_Adestur]

If they wait until the target leaves then a wormholer or someone logging off in system would break the bot too.

[Glornak_Ironspawn]

And once they get to the new system they’ll be popped by the gankers that layed a super easy trap because there’s only one jump gate connection to stop them at. Or they trap them at one of the regular gates with previously cloaked ships that it didn’t see. Bots suck dude. Tons of counters WHEN THEY CAN SEE LOCAL. Moving to a different system also means the gate bots need some serious setup to follow then disperse to all the new gates or a ton of extra bots to log in at destination. Bots are crippled and/or they need very significant upgrades to barely turn a profit again. I can promise you that a vast majority of botters won’t make the effort.

[Deadmans_Shoes]

You are speaking from your own perspective. You don’t speak for me. I don’t care for it. If I wanted no local, i would’ve moved to WH space, where they cater for those who wan’t to be living like meerkats in D-scan.

[Emmy_Chelien]

I had a little trouble finding the unsub link. It is https://secure.eveonline.com/CancelSubscription.aspx

Whats this talk about dscan? Telling friend from foe on dscan does not work in Null where all kinds of blues move around all the time and spies have access to any ship naming scheme you could invent. Solo ratting and mining will die. Big powerblocks will thrive and bots will adapt. Hilmar needs to be fired.

[Xenuria]

Well I guess you are moving to a different MMO in either case. Best of Luck.

Ratting paladin? Are you retarded or still in 2014? Likely both…

Not only marauders are ■■■■ at ratting due to being low dps ships, but they also were completely wiped out of ratting meta by dread spawns.

Not to mention of all the useless things, scram is #1. At least propose ECM burst or neut, idiot.

[xOmGx]

Rorqs been nerfed at least 3 times over soon it will be more profitable to simply loot after ratting super than to mine LOL

Instead of making something that will require people to actually deploy capitals (lets say old sov system with sov blockade units) and therefore creating a demand in minerals

This is all shows CCP inability to maintain the game

[xOmGx]

show me all these peoples

Everyone i know NEVER EVER wanted this stupid feature it hurt the game in every way

[Atin_Adestur]

I want this feature.
So do a bunch of people here.

[Randolph_Jackson]

i supposed you are a pubbie thats why the paladin but the point still stands, fit for pvp as well, cause no you do not need that 3rd tracking comp or drone nav. Nor you should be making that much isk unopposed.

[Zarakik]

@Xenuria

delayed local in null

But this is not delayed local in null - this is NO local in null…

[Randolph_Jackson]

delayed local = you can show up only if you speak, its gonna be exactly the same system with wh’s

If we had any reliable metric, I’d make a bet that bots aren’t as bad as you say.
Unfortunately, we don’t, except highly irregular, cryptic, and uncomfirmable CCP security reports that might as well have numbers pulled out of their ass as nobody ever checked or could check if a word they say is true.

[Glornak_Ironspawn]

Uhm. This is in fact going to be “delayed” local. You don’t show up unless you type something.

[Atin_Adestur]

local still works… if you want to use it as a chat. It’s no longer an omnipotent intel too, which is what you’re complaining about.
