Local Comms Blackout - Discussion Thread

Censured

Quote those stats in every null carebear whine thread.

As I’ve said before. “Nothing to see here folks. Move along.” In a week nobody will remember this as they’ll all be whining about the next big game breaking disaster that will be neither game breaking, nor a disaster.

Just like this one.

Lol keep trolling from High sec :wink:

You one of those people that can’t take yes for an answer?

How would you honestly know without Local?

To quote South Park:

If you find internet out Californi-way…tell us
How? You won’t have any internet…

And so?

I dont work for CCP and I hate kulaks

Why should I give a french toot about Hilmar’s fortune?

If he cared he could support the company for years just with his dividends

Now the big thread has closed, the nullreeeeing several will migrate here.

Oh too late.

I figured the south park quote would emphasize it was not

That’s what people were saying for years as one of reasons why they are not in null-sec: nullseccers took the whole space and do not allow newcomers to settle in. (shrugs)

That’s why i say “you should really get your ideas and facts straight”.

Take note: this is not real “living in 0.0-sec”. You don’t need to settle in, build your infrastructure and all this stuff just to be simple relic hunter.

People need to have a reason to live there. Unless you want to transform 0.0-sec space to first iteration if WH-space for sure. Well… It didn’t end well with WH so why you think it would be possible with 0.0?

0.0-sec space is created for players to build their empires. Unlike of WH it was supposed to be settled and controlled by players. CCP did a lot to make it possible. And they still pretending they are following this path. What you want is complete opposite of this idea.

Which failed. Thats why players are happy about the change.
I know you play, youve demonstrated enough knowledge to show that youve probably played more often more consistantly and longer than most here.

What I dont get is why you want to stand up for those that dont?

That is our observation in BRAVE also.

Subcaps out mining, ratting or even behind an abyssal trace will melt before standing can mount a response. Capitals are still largely unaffected because they will light the cyno and have a decent chance to see the first FAX and assorted rescue drop jumping in. Especially if they are Rorqs and not ■■■■-fit.

Right now is a good time for PvP, especially small gang PvP!
But don’t make the mistake of believeing this will balance capital ship numbers or proliferation in any significant way. It may be an effective way to cut down the number of subcap bots but at the same time our weakest members - those who can’t fly anything bigger than a battleship and who rely on ratting or the occasional moon to mine - are bleeding money faster than they can replace it.

Blackout is fun for the moment.
But depending on whether there is/was a goal beyond chaos and confusion, the results should be interpreted thoroughly to see if the (internally) defined goal is going to be reached by its implementation or not.

Because we are bleeding Newbros. And most of them walk away in silence.

But how many Nidhoggurs worth of ore were not mined before and after the blackout?
How many officer mods were not collected by a ratter before and after the blackout?
How many Rorquals were not deployed before and after the blackout?
How many were more exposed before and after the blackout?
How many Guristas LPs were not accumulated before and after the blackout?
How many Serpentis Havens are still up because of the blackout, and will remain so because running them takes more brains and more mental stress tolerance than before the blackout?

What conclusion were your statistics intended to support?

If you removed local entirely from lowsec I think probably I’d just stop playing. Constellation chat is actually an interesting idea, could actually make lowsec better god forbid!

Will someone explain to me why blackout matters much?

Are Null’secrs so skittish a fart blows in their gate and they bugout? What’s the real issue? Corpmates dont actively defend their miners? Fleets dont escort their haulers? Hunters dont suppress enemy hunters?

What’s going on out there?

Follow-up question.

How do people expect this to influence Jita prices?

They dont care if CCP ruins THE game, they care when it ruins THEIR game

Just desserts for the bot loving kulaks if you ask me

However they are playing every card they have to whinge about it, including “All your stuff is mined of made by us” which is balls, cos they dont have 1000 titans made out of nothing, and if they think High Sec kulaks wont enjoy higher prices, they are confused.

In their heads lack of mineral supply from 0.0 because all the miners cant mine anymore will make prices rise.
