Local Comms Blackout - Discussion Thread

Wystarczy Cie CCP zbluzgac, zwyzywac od najgorszych, zaszantazowac, i Ty od razu zabierasz przyglupom czat, a po powrocie z pracy czeka na mnie micha najlepszego na swiecie barszczu.

Soon people will realize teamwork is still in fact OP. Removing local will change nothing. krabs will still defend themselves.

Nah, the lore reason is in the newsā€¦
Reported as since the null lords and pirates dont respect the law they deserve to be on their ownā€¦

You got what you sowed.

Wow, all these fake Eve players leaving, all it took was a couple of out of the ordinary events and youā€™re gone. some of you so called eve players donā€™t have a clue and are very dramafied and throw a tantrum just cos things have changed and you canā€™t play the game exactly as YOU want to play it. The days of dictating to CCP how the game is managed/designed have gone.

I think this is very exciting, a communications black out because of difficulty in obtaining resources used to maintain a communication network due to the drifter attack.

Well played CCP! I like the path you have taken this is sophisticated gaming for adults and I absolutley love it and I feel like I am part of an epic sci-fi universe.

Krabs donā€™t have social skills and they canā€™t teamwork. Thatā€™s why they rely on an automated system to ping them when another automated system tells them to dock up.

Good point on stargates, but the local user list also reflect people logging on and off even if - god forbid - they do so while undocked.

thereā€™s those code assh0les. But again you style of play may shtbag ganker. im fine with that. you do you. but donā€™t force me to have to play eve your way. Im quite happy doing pve and mining. and the ā€œrichesā€ you talk about in null are negated in provi by being forced to devote time and iskies fighting off scumbag pvpā€™ers. Because said shtbags come to hunt what they consider "easy preyā€™ cause they lack the nuts for a real fight. They get off on getting their bully on.

Hmmmm, I really like the idea of shaking things up like this. I will sandbox the crap out of it, and find creative ways to profit from it :skull:

I have been playing regularly since 2006, and I have seen many big changes in the game. Every time those who embraced the change managed to make something great out of it in the end, and I love EVEā€™s strong community for that.

I believe that mostly people who have become complacent, too invested or are stuck in a narrow playstyle will really leave for this kind of change. Maybe they were fed up with the game without realizing it, and only needed a last nudge. One could debate over whether losing these players - that have gone stale in a way - is not actually a good thing.

I can relate in a way, but EVE is just too fun to quit over the way local chat works in null, especially since itā€™s not even final - yet. Granted, you have to change your habits. So what? Everyone in null has to. You are not alone. Everyone has to adapt, and it is a wondrous time to be able to discover how to beat the system again.

Think. Evolve. Fly fun!

Hrrrr.

they can and do call in help. sure fighting the same old bombers bar feels automated at times. Other times it can get hairy. Depends on the situation.

People are talking about ā€œunsubbingā€ 20 alts
