The duration of this blackout is undetermined, and we’ll be monitoring what effect this has on the cluster. https://www.eveonline.com/article/pu69gy/nullsec-local-blackout-incoming-during-july?origin=launcher

Thank you CCP for this update! Between unsubscribing my HBO account after a disappointing season of GoTG and unsubscribing my 4 eve accounts after a disappointing year of updates I will be saving a lot of money . I’ll finally be able to afford my surgery and become a real woman!

No local -> less bears -> less isk coming to game -> prices go down + cheaper plex. 5/5. Also forces more player interaction which is good.

Dude, I can make just as much in hisec per hour as I do circling Havens. It’s not about the ISK.

This should shake things up significantly. I like it!

When less ppl will be mining and geting all the stuff for make ships the price of your pvp ships will go up by alot, becuse if the minners risk alot many of them will stop playing and the ones that stays will higher the price. So now the pvper will need to pay more and as he dosnt mine/krab he will need to buy more plex, but guess what, as less players will be in the game, the plex will go down but you as pvper (a person that dosnt mine/rat) live from plex, you will need to buy more plex for your ships, so you pvper will be paying alot more for kill stuff… hahaha, and also gl finding more targets becuse at the begining you will get alot of targets for sure, but when those small guys gets tired of been killed, they will left the game and your pvp style will sufer more becuse your only targets will be in the big blocks, and they guys to just like mine and rat will move to HS.

So in this changes i only see lose/lose in this game but GL boys kill all what you can for the first 3 months becuse after that the player base will die =P

Interesting to see how many players are complaining that EvE needs more people and at the same time, laugh at people saying they quit because of this change. :clap:

EvE will be even harder without local unless a proper change to D-Scan is done. It might have a bad effect on new players in the long term.

I’d like to see d-scan indicate the presence of a cloaked ship, but not be able to locate it.

Sure, as long as it was a prototype cloak.

I dont really mind having higher prices. Like people who mine in highsec are going to enjoy better ore prices for sure. I used to play back in the day when BS hull was ~250m and its not so bad. Makes it more exiting to fly ships that cost more.

your logic is warped less stuff being made in null prices go up as there’s less stuff on the market and a higher demand.

you can use d scan

Love this change!!

Like inflation drives prices up and deflation takes prices down. That’s how it works. Good luck getting high price for things if people don’t have money to pay for them.
