Wormholes

Perhaps people in your region have just not run many since Hyperion and the pool of sites that have been run have gone to others in your region...

RNG is what it is.

We have not seen any new sites spawn recently, either. Seems odd as the same three have been there, so no visitors took them.

I sure hope they don't magic buff the site spawn pool or % upwards as a kneejerk reaction to less sites and in a few months when everything has settled down to a natural equilibrium forget about adjusting things downward again.

I would be concerned that a few weeks of post patch data is not enough to change things.

Your worries are shared, people who leave WH space or let their game time expire, are lost forever in most cases.

It's no good CCP saying an hour after they have gone, "good news, we are doing X as our metrics showed whatever" they will no longer be listening.

It is already too late for some, and their numbers will grow by the hour, and the day.

For those who pay for gametime monthly, a month is long enough to lose all those players who are not prepared to accept this "upgrade" they might have a little more time if they only want to keep those tied into long subscriptions.

The interesting thing is that wormhole space is heavily biased towards experienced and thoughtful players who are used to making long term decisions, and not the sort just seeking instant gratification.

If you lose those, and force them to take painful and irreversible decisions, they will not just flip flop due to a few words, ones actions are what are judged, when those players are gone, you really have ripped out a major organ keeping the game as a whole alive.

But you know that already, persuading the people who are busy hurting themselves, and think they have all the time in the world, is more of a challange.

CCP are used to reacting to anger, and rage, and organised out of game media manipulation, before they make decisions.
With this demographic however, they will discover to their horror, that thoughtful people react in a different way, once discussion fails, they just cease to try to talk to the deaf, and make their plans and decisions without another word.

Your voice will be one of a very few still actually trying at this point to be heard.

Good luck, I hope to still be here next month, but I am believing it less and less by the day.

You could just give anoms a timer so they disappear regardless of being run, im thinking longer then 4 days but shorter then it is now if there is one.

There's a "pool" of sites that are shared by... a given constellation or region of w-space I forget which. Though the meaning of those terms is sort of lost given how w-space works. But if you run a site, it will respawn in some other w-space system that TQ associates with your constellation/region.

w-space systems where nobody lives and are hard to access will accumulate more and more anoms/sigs over time because nobody is warping to them or running them. I think there's a de-spawn timer on sites even if there is no player interaction with them but its pretty long, perhaps a week or more. Anyway these empty/inaccessible systems become "parking lots" for anoms/sigs.

You'll occasionally get a connection to one of these systems with a huge number of sites, but if you don't farm them or warp to them then they stay there and they will take far longer to cycle and respawn in your home system or elsewhere.

If I got any of this wrong, someone correct me pls. Thx :)

I have not noticed this **** up your talking about. I saw a lot of people whining because its a bit harder to roll holes or you have to be smart about it. I just wanted to see if they accidentally broke the non wh part of the signature spawning. Seems its a no. So i wont worry about it n give it another few days

Then what exactly is broken?

I'm not sure how any of what you said had to do with rewards, they have not seems to changed. the npc kill data being blocked is meh, just means you have to hunt a bit before you know if a systems is generally active. and The WH spawn changes.. well i thought most wh corps love pvp, so shouldn;t the ability to catch dreads and the like easier make then happy? I still don;t see how wh;s are broken and i've lived in them off and off form day one and for a over a year now. I see it more as HTFU and adapt or die then broken.

But on topic. i got a gas site spawned today first one since hyp came out. yay!

3 **** gas sites and finally a combat site im my c5. gg ccp, you win. moth balling the system at the next appropriate entrance i think.
