EVE Information Portal

Because your wormhole should really be as safe as highsec, whilst you shovel isk.

Onw thing that remains total mystery to me is the removal of API pull for player kills in wormholes, considering they are still pulled by killboards.

Not all are.

There's around 5% of player kills which never hit a killboard.

yup, thats what they did.
The consequence will be significantly less PVE fleets in W-space, as it gets more dangerous to run sleeper sites with those changes, and at the same time takes a hell of a lot more time to set up a PVE op (as well as roll your static to find PVP targets).

This will result in less PvP and less activity in WHs, well done CCP

The entire blog could have been summed up with: we have decided on changes that don't really serve any purpose other than getting people to hand us real money for isk.

First impressions...

Well... Remove "Mass-based spawn distance after wormhole jumps" from this list and kick out genius who got this idea. In my opinion It'll turn wormholes in carebear heaven and destroy small scale pvp with capitals. As i see it this change will only add more time that players will have to spend dealing with routine activities.

As far as it goes i'll drop EvE when this addon comes out due to loss of interest... And i bet i'm not alone.

We discussed this changes in alliance and haven't found any good ideas how to stay in wormholes with any good Capital pvp FUN...

And yeap... You call it improvements (!!!)... Сynics.

So it seems to me that You think You fixed problem?

WRONG!!!

WH space as it is now is space where small coeps can live, do somewhat PvP and do PvE in their own pace, a space where large corps wander killing everything in their path, and everything works, surely not the perfect way, but what does?
As I see CCP favours Big entities (yes You goons-and-other-nul- entities, and don't You dare to say otherwise, cause You all know im right on the point here) and they do so in WH as well it seems. Give delay to k-Space local chat for arriving from WH, im asking for 15 seconds and well see how your null space is fine (i lived in null for some time and i can say ratting in 0.0 is printing ISK much more than WHs nowadays, you have local chat, you can easilly farm 200m a day while after work, and still having time to go to bar with friends, and if someone intrudes you DOCK omg so harg and insecure).

Lets go point by point (i will also add here it applies to c5 and c6 class WH where lots people live):

1. No Plan Survives Contact with the Players: Let’s Talk About Emergence
Right, you favour big players anyway as I mentioned earlier, as to why i will explain later, You want us to mingle in big groups i can get it, but we just DON'T WANT TO!
I don't think You hate WH, You hate small groups of people mingling by their own it seems.

2. Wormhole Effect Rebalance
Here i can say Well done CCP and really well done tinkering there, also 1 but: Wolf-Rayers is totally now armour version of Pulsar, but i can live with that. Black holes inhabitable - sweet finally. That is all I can say on this part. So some NEW CONTENT HERE - GOOD STEP

3. Second Static for Class 4 Wormholes
More lively non-capital connections through W-Space, and perfect occasion for extra mid scale Pew Pew - sure why not I say, so another nice change. ALSO NEW CONTENT - ANOTHER GOOD STEP

4. More and New Randomly Spawning Wormholes
Ok so here we get to the point with problems. Lets say i have 20-30 ppl corpo in c5 and this pops up form big WH corps (I will not use names here) or since its null-connected then null ones, im screwed, lets add i live in Wolf-Rayert - they jump 50 Assault Frigs and **** capital fleet with them (AF will get to 1,4-1,8k DPS with extremly small sig radius and bonus armor hp), still numbers count and i cannot kill this connection. so 16h AFK for me. Oh or i move to some ****** K-Space right?
I don't think i need to add anything it's killing small and mid populeted holes. great job CCP.
For me here its personally 50/50 not bad idea not a great one , lets say well see how it works.

5. Mass-Based Spawn Distance after Wormhole Jumps
The best of them all.
For big WH corps bad idea - they will not have a chance to fight smaller people cause smaller corps will be too afraid to throw that capital there in small risky chance of closing the WH. So it is eleiminating any fight for them with smaller entities.
For med sized WH corps - rolling with BS class takes too long to rageroll sso we will just wait for static to disappear in 24h and if we are connected to ****** chain with nothing there we will go play ANOTHER GAME in the mean time - guess CCP just wants us to stop playing EVE no matter what.
Small WH corporations - look above... if a mid sized one is at bad spot small will just move out of WH and probably leave EVE or as i think is intended by CCP (all my friends think simillar now) move to K-Space to join bigger groups.

6. Changes to K162 Signature Appearance
Big corporations - will rage roll, scan new WH move fleet there, and finally scout enters, sfter whole 50 ppl fleet is ready to **** those 10 people ratting. Another great idea CCP. there is almost no problem with spawning as is now, cause capitals have 5 min Triage and Siege anyway...
Mid sized corporations - ok so our static finally closed after 24h waiting so until we jump through new one we are pretty much saver than before so we can finally farm... (to be ganged)
small corps - self explanatory
Similar situation as before with corp sizes. change local apperance in null while at it! No You cannot? Too much whiny null-bears compared to WH people? Oh I'm sorry I will just get in corner and die cause there is only so much people in WH and we will not be listened enough by CCP as well as those big null-coalitions (cause alliance is not enough).



So I belive i've proven my point, anyway Most of WH people are oopsed to this and only people commenting it is positive is goonswarm o0 when did You guys move back to WH? Cause from what i know last time issue were numbers You did not move high enough numbers in...

So in conclusion CCP:
ADD NEW CONTENT, DON'T JUST BREAK WORKING THINGS CAUSE YOU DIDN'T INTEND FOR THEM TO WORK AS WE MADE THEM TO. (as you said in point 1. You guys just contradict Yourselves)

1) was hoping for new deployables

2) was glad to see idiocy regarding moludes/ships for screwing with wh opening/closing were not added

3) was hoping to see new/different/changes to sleepers

4) was hoping to see comet mining (object in space moving, so grid constantly updatings, hard for slower ships to stay with comet while mining - bookmarks not quite so useful as comet constantly in motion)

5) Is it just me, does everyone hear Fozzie's voice in their heads when reading his dev blogs ?

At least make 'D' a hotkey for jumping wormholes just like jumping a stargate.

(For some reason many a month ago, after a patch, I had muscle memory that made me want to use the D key for that. But it might never have been a thing and has to be sought in brain damage.)

It is pretty simple.

The null sec cartels have very little control over ISK generation in wormholes, so got CCP to nerf PvE in them.
Once CCP makes further changes so the cartels can control and rent out wormhole systems, then potential ISK generation in wormhole systems will suddenly be improved.
