Smells like CCP fixed nothing

Did I miss something about "local is fixed" or did CCP fix it by making it a feature like lag?

"Time Dilation" is cute. Instead of fixing lag, CCP just says "working as intended."

Hey was legit question, PITA talking to people in a chat chan that aint even logged in.

I read about a fix guess it was smoke.

CCP needs to spend less time trolling d3 and more time working on patchs I guess rofl.

I'm predicting the next fix is to change Jita's name to Hotel California. You can check out any time you like but you can never leave.

I, for one, am enjoying the uncertainty around if someone is actually in local or not. Bound to make more Amarr FW mission runners die horribly instead of docking up when they see me AFK in system.

Do we now have delayed local in all empire and null now?

I dono as I have been living in W-space for the past month lol.

I hope they fixed local to be delayed everywhere, it's the best thing ever

No, it simply doesn't clear people who log out from local. So basically, every ship has an AFK cloak called "logging out".

I know we were all asking for delayed/removed local, but uber-buffed AFK cloaks work too. Big smile

You have evidently never experienced real lag. REAL lag means none of your commands are responded to and you're in a station before you can say "Primary is Shadoo". TiDi means that you can actually fight a battle, albeit at a very slow pace.

"We will create the introduction thread if that is requested by the community. Also, we will have an ISD Seminar about the CCL team in the coming weeks in which you can ask your questions about the CCL team and provide some constructive feedback to us." - Countless pages of locked threads and numerous permabanned accounts later, change is coming.

Because making things harder for newer players will bring more new players? Roll

This, it isn't just local it's all channels. I have all my accounts on watch list in case one of them decides to log in when I don't have them logged in, so I see the red dot for off line but they are still in the channels.

Maybe we are supposed to put everyone on watch list now.

You're right, we should put large arrows above every player in the grid like FPS's in RED and GREEN.

How does delaying local make eve harder for new players? They can still talk can't they? Nothing is stopping people talking in delayed local.

It is a SOCIAL tool, not an INTEL tool. If anything, most new players minimise local or use it as HELP chat. not intel anyway. only YOU will find eve harder, not new players. New players are too busy complaining about how long it takes to get anywhere due to the long skiling time which should be REDUCED.

You've been in that Wormhole too long, or your just on drugs....
You think the new players (many of which mine to start out) want delayed local? You have clearly forgotten what the new player experience is, and why delaying or removing local only caters to griefers....which is generally a miniscule portion of new players...

So good luck with that, CCP has enough problems without driving away what little new blood they bring in...Shocked

The only people crying about delayed local are those that misuse it as an Intel source. Everybody knows this. The only thing new players want is a LOWER SKILLING CURVE.


New players can get IMMEDIATE local by pressing F12 and selecting HELP CHAT.

Um.

How do you "misuse" Local as an intel source?
