Everyone seems to be sticking up for me and my buddies. We're a small corp in a C4 (3-4 active dudes on a good night) and apparently this patch has just been the worst thing ever for us.

But it's not.

We've got more connections, more opportunities for pew and for {Snip. -- ISD LackOfFaith}. We like it. In fact, the new C4 static is the best thing to happen since I first discovered wormholes and we don't even NEED to roll, we have that many connections. And if we DID need to roll, we'd just, well, roll and either get pew doing it or a new connections. The firg WHs are a bit ****, but meh.

So if you are unhappy with the changes, that's fine, I understand. Just letting you know you can complain for yourself, you don't need to complain for me and mine.

Also, with the massive exodus from WH space, if anyone is leaving a C5>C4 Mag, let us know. kthxbai.

The exodus applies to C4s and lower I believe.
We were small group too. But my friends prefer to farm and mine. NOt with six WHs open. So we left again :o) I complain for us, if you like it, enjoy it. Its like a friggin solitary.

Its fine that you like the changes, but your post is a bit confusing. You say that you really like C4 space, but yet you end on: looking for a C5 magnetar with C4 static?

It's the C4 that I really like. So a Mag C5 for {Snip. -- ISD LackOfFaith} in home and the C4 for the connections and possibilities of pew. Best of everything no?

Meh forum ate my post.

I was just confused by what you said as it implies C4 aren't very good for PVE, and you like them more for their PVP potential. I have a gut feeling this is what will eventually happen to C4 space - nice place to travel through, **** place to live in.

My opinion is my own and isn't an attempt to speak on behalf of others. Only wider point that i'm really worried about is further loss in wspace population. If others don't worry about it then that's their choice.

As the saying goes: opinions are like *** holes, everyones got one. But that doesn't mean we cant agree to disagree, unless of course you are on eve forums Lol.

Yay you

I don't think anyone is talking for you, but I'm glad you are fine. It doesn't change the fact that for the most part I believe, as many others do, that these changes were an overall negative for wormholes. I'm not happy with them, although we aren't moving out or anything.

I can see you have had about as much success finding things to shoot at in WH's as we have since the patch.

So far our observations have been that WH's are even more quiet than they have been, which seems to be the opposite of the intent of the changes. In the last week I have rolled into WH's that I had been in not that long ago, to find them recently moved out. The only significant activity I have seen in the past week, and I have been roaming more than usual (15 WH systems in our chain last night) has been a corp that was actively moving out.

So no I don't think the changes have been a positive for people who want pew or {Snip. -- ISD LackOfFaith}. At best the changes have been largely neutral (sig ID"s persisting over DT, new C4 static) or just annoying (frig only WH's) or backfired completely (Delayed k162).

So yea overall we are fine. And I'm hopeful after the shakeout, things will start going back to normal, and fresh blood will start moving back in. But still not happy with the changes overall.

So you like the changes to C4s so much you do not want to run sites in them anymore?
You like them so much you want to leave the C4 you just moved into a few weeks ago after running out of fuel in your last one?
But you want one as a static for easy access to k-space? Can´t be because of pew because if noone lives there or runs sites there there is noone you could pew with your out of corp alts (because corpkillboard Question ).
Also this let´s-{Snip. -- ISD LackOfFaith}-in-a-c6 with a small corp (in your case c5) attitude got us into this mess of a patch. According to the devblog +80% NPC kills there.

I don't like playing internet detective and I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but your corp has a total of 10 kills in the past two months out of which almost half are structures. I fail to see the 'pew' you speak of.

While it's good that you're happy doing what you do, for most other groups affected by these changes this is simply not a realistic approach.

Well, I don't like playing internet detective, so that makes it impossible to actually check your main's KB both before and after the patch, thus making your statement about how this patch has affected "other groups", most specifically you and/or your group, utter BS. Other than that I have no problem with your post, so carry on telling us how bad you have it since the patch.

The data no, the analysis maybe.

Let's face it, a KB at most paints a very incomplete picture of a corps' activity. Honestly I think I could shed better light than possibly you (which I wouldn't know since you are a forum alt). Why? Because overall the OP and my corp are pretty dang similar. Their corp is 27, mine is 26. Their KB is 130/153, mine is 148/49.

By simply looking at the numbers you could easily say we are both insignificant as a PVP entity. Or you could say we aren't very PVP focused. You could make all sorts of assumptions based off simply the numbers. And likely you would be mostly wrong.

As a similar sized entity I can tell you I have significant times where I log in and I just missed my corpmates, so I roam solo (dual T3 roaming setup). As such my engagement window is fairly small. And while I don't mind risking my ships for a potential good fight, I'm not one to derp them into a clear loss (running into a 15 man T3 gang with dual logi for example).

So what a KB doesn't show is how much I've roamed. It doesn't show how many entities I may have run into that I couldn't engage. It doesn't show how many engagemets I could engage but they got away. Nor does it show engagements I had where it ended in a stalemate.

What I can say for myself, is that I have roamed every night since the patch. In fact most of what I have done this summer is roam. I have little need for WH PVE as my other PVE activities net such huge amounts of isk I don't need to (I leave the sites for my corpies). And since the patch I have roamed thru many many WH systems. 2 nights ago it was a chain of about 15. in total I have run into 1 covert ops. I saw one astero on dscan briefly. And one group actively moving out (there was no way to find out the WH they were exiting from without popping probes, which cause a mass POS up/log off).

What's the point I'm trying to make? Just because a corp may have a small killboard, doesn't mean they aren't out there looking for pew.

I never implied how 'bad' I have it, or how 'good' things were before. You're delusional if you believe these changes don't affect smaller groups in a negative way - I don't think I or others would even be here providing feedback about these changes if it didn't affect us. Threads with 100+ pages are clearly nothing more than a conspiracy and surely just a result of bored NPC alts.

Why would I care what someone thinks of my NPC alt, I'm here to provide feedback for CCP who already have access to all this information. My posts aren't insulting, unconstructive or misinformed as far as I can tell; until that changes, I'll decide what character I post with, thanks.

The fact that you have replied to me twice about your NPC alt tells me everything I need to know about how much you care what people think about your NPC alt. As for things being better or worse post Hyperion patch I think it is largely self fulfilling prophecy. Instead of choosing to try to adapt to the changes everyone spent thousands of hours and pages convincing themselves, and others, that life in w-space would be impossible post-patch even before the patch came out. Because of that many made the choice to leave before even seeing how the patch might actually affect wormhole life. Now that has made life for those who live in w-space to shoot things even less fun, and the cycle continues.

Interesting how thousands of posts about how crappy w-space is doesn't draw more people to w-space. Who would have thought?

Correct, I can also relate to many of the things you said as I have been in similar situations.

I never implied PvP insignificance; there is no such thing. Anyone who is moderately active and looking for PvP is significant in one way or another and in my opinion a hard-earned cruiser kill can feel more exciting and rewarding than blobbing a carrier, just as an example.

I was merely pointing out that 10 kills in the period of two months really doesn't say much about how the patch has affected them, and I realize the killboard never tells the full story - but I do think that unless you are very unlucky or very inactive, there would be more 'pew' assuming we are talking about an average, small group, rather than solo/duo.

According to your last point, you are reinforcing the point of population problems - something we both agree on.

You are quite correct that we left, but it was in no way related to Hyperion. Some of us decided that w-space, at least the things we enjoyed about it, were dead even before this patch. I have no problems with people voicing their concerns, however I do get much pleasure out of all of you screaming that the sky is falling.

I am not on the AT team, but we are all dang proud of them.

Yes we do agree. My only reason for posting in this thread is to say that we, like the OP are "fine". IE we don't plan on giving up on WH life and move out. BUT that doesn't change the fact that this patch in my opinion has had an overall negative effect on WH space.

Wow, so you left because things you enjoyed about WH space were already going downhill. (which i would agree). This patch has only made things worse, not better. And yet people bringing that up are whining that the sky is falling.

Hypocritical much?
