EVE General Discussion

so I decided to watch some movies and let eve run in the background, basically becoming one of those afk cloakers

why did it happen? jumping into nullsec it seems every time I enter a system people tend to dockup and hide

the problem is local, because of local you have two players not beeing able to play the game, the one who mines or does some ratting hides and docksup and and if you stay even logsoff, on the other hand the cloaker needs to wait and therefore goes afk to maybe have the other player go on and maybe catch him if he thinks hes afk

by removing local you get two things, 2 players actually keep playing the game instead of leaving it, the miner will only mine with support or think about other ways to prevent the cloaked player, and the cloaked player can just go on and try to ambush

you want people actually play the game and get ingame solutions, then remove local, you want the people to leave the game, then you keep local

your decision CCP

please dont shoot my cyno

They don't take you seriously?

It's pretty silly to expect someone to mine in literally every system, even when that system isn't upgraded for mining.

Yea, you don't mine, or rat, do you. Ever. How many other players do you think should be on standby to protect that one miner mining in a venture (yea, people drop them just for the lolz)? 10? 100? 1,000? You don't know who's going to bridge what on top of you.

If you want to play without local, go to WH space.

End of discussion.

CCP nobody plays the game anymore because they are too frightened byHarry showing up in local

you want people actually play the game and get ingame solutions, then remove Harry, you want the people to leave the game, then you keep Harry

your decision CCP

I honestly don't know why people believe this. We have an part of EVE space with no local. It STILL has the lowest population (by far) of any part of the game.

You want this for the rest of the game?

You think LOCAL is the limiting factor of Wspace population? The reason Wspace has the lowest population (and is still actually very populated, considering probably 1/3 the holes have towers in them) is because most players are too lazy to learn how to scan.

Removing local in nullsec would be a huge buff to roaming gangs of all sizes and types. People would actually have to use their intel channels.

You want no local go to WH space.

I really don't know what to think of local.

it's a zero-effort instantaneous intel tool. that, in itself, means that's extremely valuable, but it's also extremely bad.

on the pro-local side, I can agree with the safety feature it gives since it pretty much allows for a safety net for the locals to dock/safe up. I can see that, since I used it like so.

on the anti-local side, I can agree that it gives too much intel, making it an unnecessary barrier for sneak attacks. I can see that since I was hindered by it too.



it's hard to have a middle point here, when everybody that did pretty much roam and pve in null has suffered both sides of the coin.

meh, AFK cloaking threads are always fun to stir.
