i think that’s what ccp was kinda going for. …what ppl do when mining in wormholes then? they just do,… or they just don’t go there.

Did we just get “Trumped”?
Everyone saying this acts like zkill was dead before the blackout… News flash, there were still kills before it just like there are after… It’s just shifted the meta to lazy pvp because people know the chances of being caught are slim to none. I’ve been in null, the whole not working together is moot because that’s what the lazy pvpers are complaining about, the reaction fleets when they pop up in Intel and get chased out of sov space…

It it totally different game. No player built empires, no thousands players in large space battles etc. Simply you fly in your own ship across the galaxy to grind stuff in several different ways to upgrade your ship and other equipment. Really it is hard to compare E:D to EVE.
This alteration was long overdue. Nullsec hasn’t been this interesting in ages. Please make the change permanent.

thank you I buy and play
Both games are grindfests but in different ways. I think one major difference is no alts, no multiboxing, no AFK mechanic in E:D. As for grind itself I’d say in EVE you often do the same thing for a long time, like mining, while in E:D you often repeat the same things many times over, say during exploration.
SO yes, you do play exactly as JJ described.
Or rather, don’t.
Its hardly your teamwork saving the day, is it.
Lol, still have 10 pyhons and 10 Asps in hangar, so hell yer.
I remember those days, it was disappointing that players caused the end of them.
Who knows with the 64bit change the servers might be able to support them again.
People who are upset that they can’t safely krab while as close to AFK as they can actually be without literally walking away from the keyboard complaining about “laziness” is kind of adorable.
Know what’s really fun? If your spy lights a covert cyno off-grid, nobody knows it was a blue that did it, and they don’t even get called out if they’re seen jumping gates while scouting because they’re… blue.

Why should we be deprived of content because of the chat locale! Let’s all null alliances in the empire and kill all the activity there! We are not animals! We are for the CCP salary, we their work and content for them! Why do they impose something on us!? How much can we tolerate!!!

I’m pretty sure that alliances will devise some mandatory feedback app to track members’ movements, although i’m pretty sure they already exist. As well as logging all “blues” that entered but didnt leave the system.
Well I play the way I want , the way my Corp plays speaks for itself just yesterday destroyed a Titan , what did yours do, JJ just cant figure it out that CCP cant force people to play the way he wants. My teamwork and what I do for my Corp is called Logistic services and that is what fuels our ability to build a fleet and maintain it.
Hope this clears it up for you.
Because this game is almost 20 years old, it’s very niche game, for last six years it lost about half of its playerbase, PCU is as it is. Frankly speaking nowadays EVE is running at a verge of collapse. CCP tries to remedy this sad reality using draconian methods, like this “blackout”. CCP desperately needs money so let’s try to force null-sec players to buy PLEX for ISK to fund PvP. That is not gonna work…

But in all seriousness this is kinda of a good idea. I mean common when I started eve I learnt that null sec was supposed to be dangerous no npc police to help you allot of pirates and so on. But damn null sec felt so damn safe you join a corp use Intel channel and dock up as soon as you see a red in local kinda defeat the idea of dangerous space. Chat is supposed to be used to communicate not to spot danger or help you feels same in a hostile environment and the game offers tools to help you local chat just made it super easy to spot hostiles.
So instead of being angry learn how to use the tools given to you instead of realying on a chat window.
No-no, zkill wasn’t dead, but it’s bound to be on copious amounts of steroids under these conditions by comparison, especially before the dust settles. Life in Null has become quite routine in my view, really… And shifted meta is no checkmate, it’s simply a pus
h to adjust strategies to counter said lazy PvPer’s ease of use. Mixing things up breaks the moulds the change-adverse cling to, It’s what you do with the change that dictates the outcome. Knowing what you’d likely be up against is the first step, start thinking about what you’d do to counter those approaches. Last I heard, no lazy PvPer was impervious to good old-fashioned lazy baiting. Working with a coordinated standing fleet behind a heavy brick-tanked boat has ended a good few cloaked idiots. Undocking in null is meant to make you crap yourself… it is the wild west of space after all.

You mean compared to the lazy cloaking where you just sit in a site or an anom until something comes on grid… Yeah the hypocrisy is stifling…

I am pvp player. After removing local it became a little bit more funnier. BUT if ccp wont bring local back i wont have isks anymore and i will have to unsub cos of 2 reasons:
1st - cos i wont make isks anymore to have pvp;
2nd - cos ratting pilots will leave game and there will be no more targets to kill

I’m trying to look at this from the other side of the fence.
Someone else posted something about local chat being on randomly, how about weather/solar flares, something of that nature that turns on/off local? A tab on the gate warns you of what weather to expect in the next sys. You gat a warning if the weather is going to change, say for example, 1hr, but no forecast (yet) as to what it would change to. Coming in through a WH would be pot luck as to what was on the other side. Green and you get full blackout, full payout. Yellow and you get a chance of local blinking on for 1 min/5/whatever, but with a reduced payout on bounties/resources. Red and you have full local, but at even a more reduced payout.
And again, as someone else posted, a separate chat channel that as long as you hold sov in that sys, you get a sov channel, no cost, where all alliance members show, can speak freely and not give away that they are in sys to any interlopers, any clue as to who is in sys. You wouldn’t even need a mod or structure for it, just sov. It would give the null blocks a reason to keep the sys sov, even if they are going to have to tighten up a bit.
The last time CCP did a super nerf, they lost apx 3/5th’s of the player base. Don’t expect them to change their stance would be my guess from past history.
