I’m sorry but you’re completely off-base.
First off, wormhole space exists. And the stuff we often fly makes you Nullbear lot look like paupers. And we’re not scared to undock…
Local doesn’t exist in there, and while tied to how the holes move around we don’t bubble-■■■■ our systems anyways. And we get around just fine. People roam for ISK, fights, and all of the other content just like null wishes it could but can’t because of local and the umbrellas.

People who are 2 damned weeks old but have the balls to enter j-space often have better survival skills that you complacent null bears do because they learn how to actually play the game, use d-scan, learn how to make safes, etc. And they’re being chased around with people that have been playing the game for YEARS and have a massive SP difference. People that daytrip from null (the few that dare to leave null-safety) are much worse at this and often die because they’ve gotten too used to mindlessly and passively playing.

Also, its not wormholers making decisions – CCP has ■■■■■■ over j-spacers at almost every turn because we dont exist and are the afterthought of eve space. There’ve been so many times that an update comes and ‘whoops we forgot about how this will hose wormholes!’ is in the patch notes after we scream long enough that we actually get heard over all the nullbear whining.

once watched an idiot code player try and gank a miner was complaining because he failed because the miner wasn’t sat still while mining which made it difficult for him

Cool story bro

Awesome but time you did something exciting to the game.

Great we have an ATC’r in the mix with us…I’m Sqauking 7700 :smiley:

Don’t type that too loud or Fozzie will hear you and make nerf mining vessels to die easier.

For all the idiots crowing over this, you actually have to have people undocked to hunt them.

Ccp, if this change stays permanent I’ll be unsubbing my two paid accounts for good. If I wanted to live in a wh I would go there myself.

well they try everything else to try and help them but they still fail

Man.

Color me impressed. I had a frigging BALL during the chat blackouts when they were having server issues. I had 5 accounts unsubbed and was just waiting for them to run out, then CCP went off and restored my faith.

Lookit all of the nullbears crying. You aren’t in a WH, you still have your cynos. Just have to learn how to D-scan now. WHAAAA

Good riddance?
If you can’t learn to actively play the game, and just want to nullbear in safety all the time then… hey, if you leave for world of wank, they say that the IQ of both games raises…

Thank you CCP!

On behalf of Iron, you’re making a bunch of people super hyped.

Nullsec is too safe, and bots are rampant. Lets fix that.

75 votes so far…Good for the game is ahead

well that’s a better change than the whole drifter crazyness, i am still a big fan of people actually shooting people.

Besides, this change makes it far more complicated for both sides now, because of the need of scouts everywhere.

my fear: before you could see what numbers you have locally and then decide on that fact if you take a fight or not.

Now you have to rely on intel based on scouts, what makes it even potentionally harder for small entities to know when they can actually take a fight and might scare them even more from doing so.

But yeah, time will tell i guess

If ccp has the balls to delete dotlan and the other tools abused to “easily” find “prey”.

I would laugh my ass off to watch smug idiots who cant pvp without handout kills like you crying a river the world would drown in.

What? I thought people didnt like free intel ingame that showed exactly where danger lied or targets would be?

Isnt that the point of losing local, or is that just an excuse shitty pvpers need to justify crying their way into easy kills because theyre too inept to figure out any other way

When two or more null blocs are at war with each other and are forced to return to their staging systems due to a “PVE” event when active PVP conflict was happening. Come on. I don’t want to hear about stagnation in player counts due to any other reason than CCP implementing another probably gamebreaking mechanic in play. This has been their MO for years and Eve as a whole will be on the ■■■■-end of the stick…watch the next few weeks.

You’ll find that it actually works out. We’ve been doing that very thing in Jspace for ages. You get blueballed sometimes, but often you just learn to scout better and have reinforcements ready.

Also small gangs will love this because they can actually engage a fight now, instead of “ooh local has duders I don’t know, lets dock!”

All in all it’s not going to kill the game, or even intel channels, it will just change how people hunt/hide and how intel is gathered.

And I do agree that while it was funny AF seeing Mitten tears over the drifter stuff, that the drifter attacks are a bit ■■■■ and unfair.
