Simply astonishing that people will un-subscribe because of this.

Get a grip of yourselves sheesh.

Actually … go on off you go … toys out the pram … we don’t need you weak minded sorts.

[Fist_Ice]

When can we expect to be able to cyno into wormholes?
Seems like a logical step down the line from this.

Today it’s nullbears crying, in a month it will be l33t PvPers:

1. Most people will have learned about this change a week after it had been introduced, so enjoy the slaughter, because it won’t last long.
2. People will learn to not use subcapital ships. Capitals will become the standard ships used to do the PvE content in nullsec due to their survivability. Nobody sane will undock in a shiny subcap to run a ratting site or mine in anything but a Procurer or Rorqual ever again.
3. Solo hunting and roaming gangs will die off. There won’t be anyone left for you to hunt. All potential targets will stick together, ratting and mining in their capital ships. Capital umbrellas will become the absolute necessity.

In the end the only winner will be CCP. People will feel pressured into getting into capital ships, some will do so by spending money on the game. Overall without giving sov owners some tools to keep their systems safe I’d say that this is nuts .

Well there you go guys. All those nullbears threatening to quit are just blowing steam. They’ll all realise they’ve won soon enough.

Wow i just saved a bunch of money on my subbed accounts. this is trash and i hope CCP learns real quick of what unintended consequences means.

The impact of this will be very interesting to measure, economically speaking it will be nice to go back to seeing some “scarcity” in EVE, a more actively engaged player base & fixing a mechanic that was broken to begin with and was taken advantage of are welcome. Bob forbid undocking means you could die

[Lukas_Koennel]

Pray to bob this change will be permanent

[KrazyKanuck_Ice]

Praise BOB

[Jack_Branigan]

Imagine being that stupid.

@Lukas_Koennel

Pray to bob this change will be permanent

Amen.

[Dictateur_Imperator]

In 2 month you will prey for a revert when population will shut down.

[Pseudocreobotra_Wahlbergii]

Kinda funny when people who live in nullsec instead of wormholes are unsubbing, because nullsec is turning into wormhole space. There are many ways CCP could’ve (or can, since they haven’t done it yet) nerfed local in null space. Instead they went from one extreme to another.

Heaven forbid nullsec (the most dangerous and most rewarding space in EVE) have an element of actual risk. It’s too much. We need more invulnerable rorqs and intel methods that guarantee our safety 100%.

[Kilon_Alios]

well it was fun as long as it lasted, I don’t have to unsub my yearly sub ends by the end of September , I was not planning to renew it anyway.

When a game becomes nothing more than a collection of random 10 vs 1 which claims its PVP and has nothing more to offer after one year of playing it its time to move on.

I hope people who find this change enjoyable the best of fun and I hope it injects new players to the game. I will definitely be hovering around keeping an eye on the game but I am already playing less and less.

But I never played this game so other people have fun and I am not planning to start doing so anytime this millennium. But I remain open for the next one.
