In terms of operating in nullsec without local I am confident that I could do it, the real question was whether I wanted to. And I would not want to hand all my stuff in a structure to someone who had bigger toys then me.
I had three reasons to leave nullsec, the alliance I was in was dunking Provi more than I was happy with alongside people I wanted to blow up, the other reasons was that I suspected that asset safety was going away at some point and that local was going to get nerfed or removed. I feel a little bit smug about this, at a personal level of course, couldnāt give a rats ass about the blocked trollsā¦
However one issue is if they go with a local that is run by the sov holder this will make hunting a lot more difficult.
You are also going to see a significant exodus from nullsec of more risk averse players, which might not be good in terms of available prey.
However it has to come due to the excess I nullsec, so bring it on.
And another point CCP has to remove all that other free intel on the map!
The intel from Starmap is not as reliable. At best, it gives you an estimative of what to expect. This is how we plan our traveling in Lowsec as it is.
Removing local is the best thing that could possibly be done to fix Nullsec. Good riddance to their safety net. People docking up at the first warning sign (from several jumps away) is ridiculous.
This is a blow to every major powerbloc, and a much needed shake to the snowglobe.
This will mainly wreck botters and excessive farmers. People can live without local in w-space so they will be able to do so in nullsec. If this actually happens.
Iām still highly skeptical and fear a catch. No way CCP doenāt ā ā ā ā this up in some way.
It is the only thing they could do to be honest, I just hope that no local Skynet type system is introduced in the near future for alliances to install, I had the impression that this was the plan at some point.
Looks like itās going to be one of those days. Getting nothing done as I flip excitedly from one social media site to another to drink in the sweet, sweet, tears.
No itās not lolā¦ Chat regularly cocks up, do you not think that the intelligent people at the top wonāt already have a system in place that nullifies the loss of local and chat? Because if you believe otherwise, you should get out more, meet people and developā¦
Systems to deal with very temporary, unintentional interruptions to local should and will be very different to systems that will be implemented for no local ever. Major changes like this have an impact in play styles and strategies beyond ājust dock until local comes back.ā
I only have 2 accounts. Please donāt lump me into the same crowed as these challenged Delve or Esoteria folk. All I see are existing problems that already create massive safety nets for null bears to become even more effective.
Or was this not intended to be about me? You linked my response instead of the first post of the topic.
