Yes, this thread is here to dump all the threads into one megathread where it can be more easily ignored. That’s the reality of it, as evidenced by tens of thousands of posts spread across several forums without CCP ever doing anything at all.

Because there’s nothing to fix.

In 6k posts no one has ever successfully described a real problem :slight_smile:

Why waste developer time on a thing that 1) isn’t a problem and 2) should be ignored?

Again, since it’s not a problem, CCP doesn’t need to do anything about it.

Yes, yes. I did not mean to imply otherwise. My past posting history clearly indicates I’m not of the botter/RMT crowd. :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh no, lots of real problems have been described in this thread.

It’s just that none of them have to do with AFK cloaking…

:wink:

Can I just say that while I don’t agree with completely barring cloaking, the fact it’s somewhat of a random thing (unless the storms show on the map…) isn’t super terrible.

Of course, it’s just null right now eh? Would love the storms to hit lowsec as well.

As always, more changes that make cloaking less invincible are welcome.

Haters/chatbots gonna as always complain. This is just one step in the right direction. Cloaking will change, you can’t do anything about it.

Electrical storm hits. All the krabs jump to the affected systems because they think they can be ā€œsafeā€.

Cloaky campers just don’t log into those systems.
Roaming gankers know exactly where to go and find systems filled to the brim with krabs who aren’t paying attention.

I don’t see how this would change anything. After the storm goes away, the campers will be right back. :woman_shrugging:

Anyone who thinks this is a nerf to cloaky camping hasn’t actually thought it through.

I woud love to quote all the salty "if it is that bad CCP woud do something and as CCP os not doing something nothing is bad"or ā€œyou crappy nullsec botterā€ guys and say:

Hey CCP did something even if it is not directly against AFK Cloaky guys as a lot say it will affect them.

The cloaky campers are the people affected the least by this.

Worst case for them they have two choices:

  1. One or two jumps over and camp a different system.
  2. Safelog for 48-72 hours and then resume camping.

Given everyone will feel safer with cloaking switched off on that system it’ll be a bigger target for roaming gangs anyway, and the increased farmer presence will tap out the sites in record time anyway, distributing that system’s wealth to a wider player base and reducing the income of any single farmer.

And there’s what, two storms with this effect and how many nullsec systems? So it’s likely to pass through your system how frequently?

Exactly.
