Local Comms Blackout - Discussion Thread

Look where that mentality got things.

For how many years were wars broken and being abused by a small number of high security corporations? For how long has 0.0 been dominated by a handful of alliances?
For what reward were the victims of the status quo persisting in their disadvantaged existence in eve?

Drifters have been the game game less than two weeks. Its at least another several years until the balance is anywhere near restored.

Judging by your zkillboard you gave up playing over two years ago, or you’ve just been a really successful relic hunter since 2017 until this weekend.

Why aren’t you doing PvP with all the other children?

Wow about 9k comments Oo

Okay, for the PVE, a slap in the face. I only do PVP to defend myself! I don’t have fun flying around for hours and shooting people! I’m curious where the blackout for all the 0.0 PVE players as I’m one leads to. At the moment I’m rather unwilling to put myself in a mining ship :smiley: I wonder until today what is so honorable about shooting a mining ship down!?!??! It’s almost like stealing a lollie from a toddler with a knife! But you don’t have a knife but a rocket launcher, but ok if you feel a thrill? Have fun xD

Some will have their fun in this test phase and others will dedicate themselves to other games.

Have fun and fly safely or not as you want :grinning:

No one will ever use a Roqual, Carrier or Orca in Null after this stupid “Blackout” - we have massive Drops after that and cannot go further with mining and ratting - only the PVP- kids have fun to destroy everything without brain.

Or is the reason only that the players buy more PLEX with real money in case that they loose there ships!?

I quit now - makes no more sense in EVE

Have you seen the new offer from CCP: Buy a 3 month subscription and get additional MCT for 3 month for ÂŁ1

Maybe to many canceled their subscription because of blackout or what do you think?

Can i have your stuff and SP ?

Yes I totally agree with you on this. It seems that the main focus now is just to have the PVP “elite” have the fun they want and if you do not agree with them on this they will troll you been as a null-sec puppie or carebear. It looks like CCP is reading too much what these PVP elitist cry in the Reddit and here in the forums and try to “please” them and fuk the rest of EvE players.

Wow it is unbelievable how obviously CCP needs money.
Eve becomes more and more a pay to win game.
The thing when i talk about eve with friends that couldnt believe that someone stay in one game for more than 10 years is that i tell them eve is a game which has epic skillsystem and infinite possibilities to create thing and very nice pvp system.
Eve is a big player in MMORPG games.

But wtf is ccp doing.
Millions of skillpoints as give away … skillpoints as reward for paying 50$.
You dont need to play the game for years to have your first super carrier anymore.

But that was the thing you become only big in eve when playing eve … that is dead since skillinjector brought to eve.

if this blackout will be permanent production and ratting will decrease to a level where the prices are so high that nearly noone could earn plex anymore.

That is what CCP wants … and this is ok because its a big company.
But why the hell they dont take PLEX completly out of the game?
It would be an easy step.
They dont need to ruine the game by making everything easy and cheap.

Just take PLEX out of game and you have what you want.
Money and a stable community.

Of course that step will kick also some players but if you make fair monthly subscription prices everything will be ok.

I think the path that CCP is going last 2 years will end in EVE OFFLINE soon.
Noone wants to play a cheap Universe sim.

Eve Online players are sophisticated and if CCP goes that path further they loose one by one.
And the kiddies CCP attracted with cheap SP and easy handling ships are bored very fast.

CCP can remove the PLEX from the market/game after I undock my 30k Plex tank Ibis from the Jita, not before :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

The removing of Plex is not the miracle cure. There are a lot of people selling Plex to get ISK. My opinion is let them do this. The seller is happy because he gets his ISK, the Buyer is happy because he gets his Plex/Play time and CCP is happy because they got real money from the seller.


but this forum is happy, happy, fluffy, fluffy, filled with love . there is no dislike button.

They are not allowed because they make CCP sad…

Wait WTF where is my “Hello Kitty” skin for my Avatar CCP? Are they trying to say that we will not be going to have those skins on our Titans? Thanks a lot CCP. I see the CCP motive here … when you log in into EvE you should all ready feel “pissed off” right :smiley:

Meh, I logi’d my way into all of the doctines, chased off PL and WN, and ended XIX as null sec power. I may have started a little early, but there were no skill injectors, rorqus were a command ship most useful for refueling POSs

…you had to undock to rep your ■■■■
and capitals couldn’t survive on grid without subcap support. You lost the sub battle you lost the cap and super cap battle right afterwards. Titans were nerfed on both tracking and target nubmers (3) at the time because PL blap titans were too powerfull against subs.

There is a PL video from the period with like 15 titans DDing a mach in mouring…which also go nerfed no DDs on subs.

It was a much better way to go about it until Fozzie got a hold of the reigns. Literally everything that man touched has went pear shaped.

It is so, cliche to say: ‘’ you won’t be missed ‘’ and ‘‘can I have your stuff’’ when someone decides to stop playing this game.

In fact, the more players that quit… the more potential PVP content is lost.

Carebears are needed… most of them mine, and those minerals become the stuff that others pvp in. Just because you think you are a hardcore PVP god, doesn’t make your way of playing the game, ‘‘The only right way’’ to play it. EvE has loads of opportunities, and actually most of them are not PVP related at all. Eve is at the end of the day, a ‘‘grinding game’’, weather you see it that way or not. The majority of eve players are grinders, doing dungeons (sites) and mining or doing other PVE/Industry activities, and PVP is just another option of gameplay.

I don’t understand why there are so many comments, where people bitch about some one else leaving, because of a change in the game.

This is not something new, it is a normal tendency in EVE. At the end of the day, it is their choice, so no salt is really needed, since it will definitely not make them reconsider and stay.

Hence whoever is bitching about others leaving, are actually not helping retain the player base, and they don’t seem to care very much about that, and it would seem, they don’t care about the game then. No players = No EVE.

Lets try build a bigger player base please, it will be good for the game, and good for all of us, who enjoy EVE, even though it is a ‘‘game in progress’’ which it has been since the start.

It is all ways easy, to be the disrespectful guy, when your hiding behind your computer screen. Just remember there is a person behind every comment, and disrespecting is not going to accomplish anything.

Even CCP have seen a lot of people quitting because of the ‘‘Blackout’’ and other changes/nerfs they have made, and it is so obvious, that the new offer of 3 month MCT is a gimmick to try and retain those players.

Otherwise the timing is just absolutely horrible, and not great for EVEs image.

Zkill wasnt down because of blackout.

It was being updated to use an delayed kill report system for null. Had a few bugs to sort i believe.

I couldn’t have put it better myself

Eve did a lot better when it wasn’t farmville in space

That 65k peak they like to trumpet, that was the allaince tourney…I was on that day watching. The ENTIRE null sec map was on fire, block level wars in every region.

It all stopped to watch the tourney, because everyone had teams going.

At the time the response from a null-sec resident wasn’t “MEH TICKS” it was "I didn’t come out here to mine.

Where did you get that from.

Squig said straight up he did the “helllo darkness my old friend” because of a request on reddit. DOTLAN followed suit which I thought was hilarious.
