Local Comms Blackout - Discussion Thread

Why are all of you guys saying you are unsubbing? I do t really get it, you are the elite of the elite. The big guys running the game with the biggest ships and guns.
You mastered nullsec, space which most people are afraid of.
Now you just say i quit? It is somehow disappointing to see people just quit, only because the game just got one level harder.
I really would love to read an explanation as of why this change made you quit, or considering to quit.
I for one like the fact that isk generating wouldn’t be that easy anymore, not that i had anything against it. But the economic changes might be interesting to witness.

I just came back from a break and im broke.
If you truly are going to quit, send some isk over i could use some.

Adapt. You either move, or make some friends of your own

Well you’re lucky someone like me isn’t organising system defence. During the blackout I would happily wait all day with a counter attack fleet for you to blops and then take out as many of you as i could when you cov cyno in.

I’m not sure why people are finding what I’m saying so hard to swallow it really isn’t that hard.

Agree in the long term they shall hear silence in a dark void , bu it is what it is.

Some people are adapting out of nullsec, or will be, their call. As for making friends, easy to say, but not so easy to do when most of them are looking for easy kills and your boyz are on the menu…

zkill is down, reddit is down
people are dropping dscan inhibs and mining moon goo from the major alliances while the rorqs are hiding in stations. People are flying blind into gate camps and glorious fuckery is happening everywhere.

What a glorious time to play Eve!

I fly alone at my living place, don’t see nobody so cannot talk with anybody. This blackout killed the communication and hit on the community. Now I see it won’t work. It became a MSO: Mass Singleplayer Online. It will fall.

At least no-one will hear your crying for help in local chats lol)0

I mean, krabbers literally do Mass Singleplayer Online anyway I don’t see the difference. Do you not use comms in your corp? NBSI promoted “us vs them” so uh I don’t think neuts/visitors expect themselves to be treated kindly by null blocs.

Yesterday I found out why CCP did this.
Null Sec is empty and they have to hide that. I drove a few hunters from Delve all the way up to TKE 60+ jumps and passed maybe 9 pilots in total. Got to TKE and there are more Goons than locals. This was 8pm EVE time when we are at our busiest. 21K total online.

How do you fool people into not seeing that EVE is slowly fading. Hide local then people don’t see the decline. Don’t see the emptiness of space.

So many scream that the trouble of EVE is Bots, Blue Blobs, Alts, Industrialists and everyone who is not 100% PVPing or flapping about being a perfect target for a gank. With out the dreaded inept and incapable where will the population be? 10,000?

Other great part of the blackout is it slows everyone down. scan, scan, scan, scan, Is there a fleet or gang in this system. Who the hell knows. scan, scan, scan… So finding your target is going to take 5-10 times longer and wear that “V” key down to a blackout blank.

zKill says it all.

Requiring people to hunt for their target is not a bad thing. People having to constantly look over their shoulder is not a bad thing. People being able to actually execute black ops is not a bad thing. Adventurous players having a chance to hide\explore in Null space is not a bad thing.

In general this is all a good thing, except for those that want to bot or be lazy.

That is an interesting post, thanks.

Certain free intel needs to be removed for that to be a reality.

What free intel that is currently not blacked out?

ingame map??

in game map doesnt really count as it only shows recent activity and not character history
