Local Comms Blackout - Discussion Thread

Which was not even a week before it came into effect, not even letting to unanchor structures.

Just because it always was that way apparently doesn’t mean that it should never change.
The slogan of this game is “EVE forever” and not “EVE stays the same forever”.
Without change everything dies history is the best witness for that.

Nothing saying the game shouldn’t change, just that the changes are meaningful and beneficial, if all we’re doing is making changes for the sake of changes then by that logic we are just as likely to revert as to make progress… Removing local is a simple reversion, take something out of the game that sets the game back without providing any significant or meaningful benefit to the game as a whole…

I understand that Orca… the point I was making was that there was More than 2 days warning, when someone was complaining he only had 2 days warning.

As to unanchoring (unless it has changed or I completly remember wrong) only people that were not blue/in allaince of the sov holders had to deal with a weeks unanchor process. For those that could not? well its not 100% they were going to be attacked before unanchoring, and defending them, would be … Content. In either case you woul dbe doing so with people who are also just learning how to deal with no local for a couple days, before getting used to it.

Remember the Gankers dont know how many people will jump them when they jump you. Oh and if they have done their research, observation and ALOT of leg work so they WILL know how many, then they deserve that break they worked for.

Bomb mechanics mean that every bomb after the 7th does no damage, because the 7th explosion blows up the 8th bomb…

How would we know if it is beneficial or not if it was never tried before?
All i sense is just hate without much to back it up just because it was that way for xxx years.
Lets just see what impact this is going to have and then we can decide if its good or not?

Completely wrong.
Ganktards are risk-averse kind of players. They only jump when it’s safe to avoid any kind of pvp.
This does not need any leg work, because covert cyno gank is over before any fleet can land.
This is literally 0 content, because they are avoiding pvp harder than any krab could, because krab has to sit there, and they are done in 6 seconds and running cloaked. And people who generate 0 content are bad, or so I’m told.

Go to dot lan. Open a region. Select NPC kills. Go to systems with red colours. Though its a near certainty this isn’t exactly news to most.

Is local back btw? I see Zkill is backonline

lol we have tried it before, if it were overall a very popular and warrented mechanic WH’s would be more popular…they’re not. In the meantime the average subscribers game play is interrupted and they have to fart around until it ends.

Just because WH was that way from the start doesn’t mean 0.0 could never benefit from this the way wormholes and 0.0 works is very different so you cannot make any conclusions or connections there regarding no local.

no zkill was just turned black completely seperate to the changes made by CCP for the weekend to go with the mood of the Blackout.

No, go on Zkill now its not black anymore: https://zkillboard.com/

Since the server reset its been back on hence why I asked if local is back in nullsec, maybe the no local event is over, not able to check at the moment.

Event is over bro, you can go back to farming if your heart desires.

Zkillboard was just going to be black until today (in support of CCP) not for the whole event.

And FYI, the zKillboard was still processing kills all thru the weekened, so should be up to date.

Welcome back! Enjoy your stay :slight_smile:

Not only that, it is beyond dumb to think a corp or even a huge alliance can keep up a constant vigil on gates 24/7 to provide intel. It’s called sleep mechanics, and it is unavoidable.
