Local Comms Blackout - Discussion Thread

Like I said in this thread, I have three confirmed ganktards in cloaky cyno bombers logged off in my constellation right now. Everyone IS coming for me, and they will get risk completely removed from their advances.

I don’t have fears. What I have is frustration and disgust over being treated as someone’s free content for my own money. I am not paid for your entertainment, and I will not pay until it’s not free to gank me.

Except others have supercap umbrella, eula-breaking intel bots, etc, and I don’t, so that pushes me harder than them.

No, because ganktards are chickens and will not drop on something that has 1% chance of killing at least one ship on their fleet. It would be hilarious to see how they would drop on the same stupid bear who didn’t get the memo and was dumb enough to undock, then both fleets think it’s a trap and run in panic complaining about how “null is too safe”, “blobbers” and “counters”. But that’s just wishful thinking, chickens will not drop on stuff that can lock them before it dies.

I can explain every point, if you can’t understand, well, maybe it’s because you’re not up to the challenge of discussion intellectually?

Until this experiment of removing danger from nullsec is over, definitely.

Nah, it’s for 40 IQ and above only, you’ll need to double yours to pass.

For the 7th time: I want YOU to not be safe 24/7 like you would be with this change, so you would have SOME of the drawbacks I’m forced to carry 24/7. But that is unacceptable to you, so it’s you who doesn’t have skin for eve.

40 hours. yeah buddy

Haha now the tears flow!
Going to have to buy a boat when it goes live!
Bye bye local, you won’t be missed!

I’LL HAVE YOU KNOW MY IQ IS 41 GOOD SIR. THAT ENTITLES ME TO YOUR STUFF.

The simple fact is CCP is willing to take a large hit of subscriptions to do what they want. They did it before and I guess they are willing do it again now.

My best advice is to do what I’m doing which is preparing for it one way or the other. Unsub or adapt. Its up to you, but from what I’ve seen over the years is that once CCP makes a decision, good or bad, it takes years for them to address it again.

Didn’t your mom tell you lying is bad? Someone can do bad things to you if you lie.

This debate is useless anyway.

Recorded history showed that humans switched from hunting to agriculture because of a simple reason : the depletion of the hunted ressources. Curiously, animals went far away of the hunting area or simply disappeared because they didn’t reproduce enough or for some strange reasons, and so threatened human settlements with famine and slowed their expansion.

The deletion of local will not give a different result. The hunters will have a blast, feeling that they are now the king of the game… and curiously, hunted people will leave or simply login less because curiously they get no fun by being blowned up, or for some others reasons. The “ressource” will deplete, and the hunters will go to this forum to cry to the remaining hunted people, saying how much they are puss[blablabla].

It happened before, it will happen again.

Local may be the worst way to get intel in a system, except for all the potential others.

It make it the least terrible, and so must remain.

Yup. Watching folks like you eat a boson to the face should be hilarious.

Well then, it sounds like it is just particular to you, your situation in null sec.

Having 3 cyno bombers logged in your system means you’re doing something incredibly dumb and ballsy and they see an opportunity to jump on you, because they can in null security. That’s how the game works.

Instead of whining about how small and disadvantaged your group is in null, how about you ally yourself with some neighbors.

You’re repetitive use of the word ‘ganktard’ just keeps filling my buckets with salt though. Keep going, I think you’re almost about to convince someone of your argument.

Mama’s got a good ol’ spankin’ for you… naughty boy…

Nullbears can relocate to the game preserves of high-sec. If this is an extinction level event for them, good, new life will move into the niches that will open up.

Evolve or perish.

I’m going to sharpen some spears to hunt the mammoths. Can you migrate fast enough?

Tick tock tick tock.

It’s not.

Oh, good! Spears!
The mammoths have machine guns.

Will you notify us when the black out is over so I can resubscribe?

My situation is not unique - I bet every non-bloc nullsec alliance is being treated the same way. We had reports in this thread.

Constellation, not system, we no renters matey.
Nothing incredibly dumb, just the usual dumb - had to save some dumb rorqs recently. We lost none though.
And no, that’s not how the game works, the game works in a way that nullsec is supposed to be dangerous, but there’s a side for which no risk is involved that is breaking it - ganktards.

Yeah, yeah, we already were in the whole debate about how this change is “go bloc or die”. We either get under someone’s supercap umbrella, or die. And if I wanted to be a bloc bear in a super, I would’ve been one, so it seems the path of unsubbing is the only way out.

Convincing risk-averse lower forms of life was impossible to begin with, and a reasonable man such as I shall focus on what’s possible instead.

Difference is, the pray is a sentient being, with resources they need if they want to stay on top of the isk generation game, they will either learn to defend or someone will replace them.
