You missed the Drake/Heavy Missile nerfs then.

There was some major frigging salt.

A bunch more kills throwing myself head first into gatecamps. Love seeing everyone out pvp-ing more! Having so much fun!

Thats me in practically every larger alliance ive ever been in lmao

no tears from me and I guess the vast majority of people who just left the game. We are too busy enjoying dying and killing in other games.

Warframe has been a ton more fun and it seems to appreciate my money a lot more.

Oh and it does slightly more than turn off a feature to justify an update.

solo or gang?
Ive not really been that side of the map yet, are frat actually really active in gatecamping atm?

I’m going solo, but there’s enough hunters around that it usually turns into a big mess either way.

There are several gatecamps set up by Frat, mostly in chokepoint systems.

I used to spend time explaining the gaps in local intel to people who told me that they were hunters. Most eve alliances are not as good as the Goons at running intel by the way.

As a side note I truly hate the intel bots but not a single alliance I was in ever used them.

Gaps exist because people are not always paying attentions, key systems may be empty and of course at times not enough active players are online.

In any case it was wasted effort because all they did was start chanting something about intel bots and using that as an excuse to not bother hunting or to go further into insult mode by telling me I was into RMT or something along those lines…

heard this in other pvp mmos alot of times and thoose games are dead now cause lack of Players…

I created an account in 2014 and played this game for around 1 month, then I came back from hiatus in the last week.
As a newbie, null-sec blackout is really terrible.
I guess it actually stimulated PvP, and I joined Gatecamp fleet, That was really fun.
But wait. I’ve completely lost the way to earn ISK efficient.
Last week I sold some PLEX and MCT, then bought many Injector and Nyx.
Ratting was really fun and 80m+/tick is really an awesome income for me.

But once null-sec blackout had begun, an ally’s ship was destroyed immediately after downtime and then our Alliance director directed us to stop the ratting/mining.
Ok, it’s a reasonable reason for preventing damage to our assets.
… then how to earn ISK as efficient as before blackout?
People say ā€œIt’s fun.ā€ ā€œNull-sec should be dangerous.ā€, but it’s opinions who have enough SP/ISK or who not living in null-sec.
I don’t have enough SP/ISK (seriously, I can’t use any T2/3 ship except Golem I used for the L4 mission XD, I really need it for the doctrine…)
But I was growing fast till begun blackout and I was looking forward to joining the fleet with a decent ship.
I guess some(many?) veteran players also did ratting/mining when they were a newbie as the same as me.
Now I don’t have the right to earn ISK with ratting/mining?
I’m in despair.

I’m not used to speaking English, pardon my broken English.
But I’m really don’t know what to do and my character completely stopped growing.
I have to adapt to the update. I’m aware of it, but tbh I’m still feeling it’s unfair.
I lost my motivation, now just looking at my ship in on the monitor.

I lived in Null for over two years, in an area where we had Reds all the time, and I literally never had those identity issues com up. I could not explain to you as to why I never had a problem with FoF using D-scan, cause I used it all the time and could spot freinds just because i knew them. so the reds stood out.

What do you call a person who doesn’t have knowledge of the game?
actually, I didn’t know even D-Scan till my ally member taught me.

ā€œI created an account in 2014 and played this game for around 1 month, then I came back from hiatus in the last week.ā€ so you have played this game for less then 2months and you are in a nyx (it’s worse since the game has changed alot since 2014)… and you are here to complain about you’re not able to make isk …

sell your shitty nyx, train something usefull ( extract/injector sp/buy more sp?) and go do something that doesn’t involve losing billions when you are ā€œnewā€ to the game.

Hallo CCP. Ich würde mir wünschen wenn ihr diesen Blackout ein ende setzt, denn wie es scheint werden es sonst viele Spieler aus meiner Corp tuen.
Teilweise suchen einige schon nach anderen Games da sie keine lust haben auf euer WH feeling, was ihr den Spielern grade aufzwingt.
PVP ist zum reinen Click and Point Adventuer geworden was schnell frustriet. Minern hat auch keiner mehr lust drauf, da die Spieler klar sagen hätten sie das gewollt wären sie ins Wh gegangen um dauerhaft den D-Scan zu trickern. aus meiner sicht macht ihr das Game grade kaputt, egal was eure gründe waren für diese Entscheidung.
Den nƤschsten Monat werde ich auch nicht aufladen wenn ihr bei euren Blackout bleibt o7

Hello CCP. I would wish for you to put an end to this blackout, because it seems like many other players in my corp are going to do it.
Some of them are already looking for other games because they do not want to have your WH feeling, which you impose on the players.
PVP has become a pure Click and Point Adventuer which quickly frustrates. Miners have no desire for it either, since the players would have said clearly that they wanted to go into the Wh to permanently trick the D-Scan. From my point of view you are breaking the game grade, no matter what your reasons were for this decision.
The next month I will not charge if you stay with your blackout o7
