This is so small scale compared to everything that's being talked about but I live in a little quiet corner of the universe and one day there was an entire fleet of battleships burning down structures and a bit of a response from the locals so as a bystander I went to take screenshots.

Apparently ships lose their skins when they turn into wrecks.

Similarly, Omist fuckin rules. Providence is this weird hellhole where you can't log into a cap pilot without 150 people from six different alliances logging in to hot drop your rear end before you've even undocked. Omist? Omist doesn't give a poo poo. Go play in big ships. Teneferis loves you. Life is good. Rip a fat one and krab in your Nidhoggur. We're all homies here. Just pray that CCP turns local back on soon if you're not already fluent in constantly-smashing-d-scan-ese.

The branch war was fun times when Veritas would show up during a big fight to test TIDI. You'd see in local "things might get weird for a bit" and then then whole system froze for a few minutes "well, that didn't work" and things went back to normal.

Nah, Init burning some Lowsechnaya structures in Edilkam.

It was about a hundred Navy Apocalypses and Megas with about sixty ships more in logi, command ships and other stuff. LSH response was two Ninazus and like... 20-30 Legions?

This rear end in a top hat. Massive bigot, transphobe, etc. He ate a permaban from Foxhole for finally crossing the line and harassing/brigading a literal child, and apparently decided EVE was the good place to land. I'd post his crimes but it's like 8chan fever swamp level poo poo.

Was fun doing PI runs last night and having the same characters appear in each system in the constellation that I live in. To be fair, they have released a workaround local *but* flags and standings don't work in it, so everyone shows up as a neutral

It has the old issue with channel lag where if you relog from one char to another char on the same account in the same system the char you logged off of is still in local

This just seems like it has to be on purpose…I mean it’s a chat server they’ve been running for two decades. I’m not making GBS threads on the process and I’m thankful for CCP trying new things, but like one day it worked, there was a patch, now it doesn’t work. Revert that poo poo!

I mean they tried Blackout (before my time) and it almost killed the game. Surely you can fix a fuckup this far-reaching quicker than this. OR…just announce it’s no local from now on and Globby wins.

yeah what they did is move chat services out of their data center to some third party service. they clearly didn't test the thing and now it's hosed, and they didn't properly flesh out a rollback plan. or are not being permitted to do it by management

Ok, that’s what I figured something was. Tbh, I don’t care one way or another as far as local goes, but if you break your poo poo either fix it or accept it—-don’t leave your paying customers hanging with uncertainty especially when you were (slowly) making up for past fumbles.

That makes sense that this is a networking issue rather than a code issue. They flipped the thing over and did the whole Icelandic management thing of having no roll back.

Was noticing atypical chat issues for a 1-2 weeks before it went on fire. Weird things like people being multiple systems or two private channels being merged. Maybe it’s hard to rollback because the changes were done further back and it took a while to become a dumpster fire. SISI is fine.
