Local Comms Blackout - Discussion Thread

Cloaked ships are going to be incredibly powerful. You will need to always be prepared to be hotdropped, which is fine. I find a problem with bombers bombing, specifically bombing excavator drones. The ability to be virtually undetectable and able decloak and launch bombs that explode in 10 seconds. It gives a single digit response time for any rorqual pilots to notice and pull excavators. I think it is too powerful.

Hey, I want his stuff too.

@CCP_Falcon I’m curious: now that CONCORD/SCC isn’t maintaining Local anymore, just what do we pay our sov bills to them for? Can we get those removed, please? I mean, given the lore-driven nature of this, and all.

Fuckin awesome, very well done CCP, removing local in null is a hard hit to bots, to carebears, and blue umbrellas. U DID IT, CCP, love you!!! my Fleet Commander is fapping really hard yelling " I fuckin explode them all (nullbears)!!!"
Let the ā€œburn null roamingā€ begin!! (Teartank open)

P.S.: cancel subscription = botter, nullbear = useless

If its for a week or two - its fine…

This is a good thing.
People multiboxing dozens of Rorqs, vnis and ā– ā– ā– ā–  like that are a nuisance. They bring money to the company, but bring nothing to the game expect inflation while they are afk on netflix.

We might loose a bunch of afkers and botters but we’ll get new players or returning ones who will bring something to this game and keep it alive.

Keep that up please CCP.

Have fun. None of the accountss were paid with real money, only ingame. 1 less miner to hunt tho…a shame.

this is probably the worst, lazyiest idea i have ever seen.

You seem obsessed with bots. Is this projection, or something? Cuz you really seem like a posting script, at this point.

Say goodbye to all your risk-averse targets who will move to high-sec.

Responses so far seem to come to two conclusions.
a) People who DO NOT play in nullsec, HAVE NO ASSETS in null and do not participate in the great wars seem to like the idea… if for no other reason than to spit in the faces of fellow players who would be inconvenienced.
b) People who do have assets in null, play there who generally seem to DISLIKE the the ideas strongly and may very well discontinue support of the game in any way if pushed. Looking at the active membership of quite a few of the null blocs this group seems to comprise many thousands of your active player base.

Hi CCP,
If someone wants delayed or no local then they can go to wormhole space, making this permanent will surely drive down the number of active players in nullsec big time. It’s not just the botters which are getting nerfed, but for any explorer nullsec is already dangerous enough and after this change there would be no difference to WH space. if you really really want a space where there are gates and no local, then just add a couple new systems and not f**k over all of nullsec. (and i don’t really think botters will stop, they just accept slightly more losses and add extra scouts which won’t cost them much)

Bye. You’ll be replaced by vets coming back. People that are actually competent at the game and deserve to be here. Your place is in World of Warcraft.
