Wormholes

Nope not new, been in wormhole space for about 2 years now (living for 18 months). And I do hope null sec gets a similar shake up.

But I love your trolling as you got the responce you wanted.

So you wouldn't mind for your house to be burned down (this was the case with the WH's), it will make your life interesting and you would have to adapt(living under a bridge and stuff).

Change just to make a shinny Dev blog post and ignore most of the players (who actually live in WH) is bad.

O
Disease can be described as interesting.
Poverty can be described as interesting.
War can be describes as interesting.

One can adapt to all of these.... Or die.

Eve is a game, one has another choice.
Some are taking it

Note:- none of these are desireable.

The statement you have adapted to living in a less desireable environment and are so accepting of bad design choices gains you no credit and is not something to be proud of, millions are forced to do that every day, but we do not all choose to accept all that is put before us uncritically.

That is what this feedback thread is for, and what other people are using it for.

The point of an expansion is to make the game more desirable, and encourage more to play.

When one fails at this basic goal, questions need to be asked.

We have asked these questions, and have had no meaningful response.
The fact you do not wish to ask these questions does not invalidate this thread.

Thank you for your permission to be an ex customer or live in KS neither of which is a choice i would choose to make.
However others have and are making that choice, I hope you agree that is not a good thing?

Please let us know how Hyperion is such a success for you as more boring, more dangerous (no matter how little) , more disruptive and less rewarding are not usually set as design goals to encourage new players and generate interest in any activity known to human kind.

Heavens knows, Fozzie would probably appreciate something with a positive spin at this point?

Would you not have had CCP spend their development and design time to actually make wormhole life better?

I think that the thousands would have agreed with you on the persistant signatures change, it was very good.

The rest would have been sucsessful if they had been part of an overall rebalance that had corrected some of the serious imbalances that existed regarding rewards VS disruption/risk, lifestyle issues re POS life and some new content had been added after years of waiting.

The wormholes little things thread had many better ideas, needed for so long, instead we got this!

As it Stands, Hyperion, was disruptive, with no benefits granted, and failed to achieve any of the stated or desired goals.

But if you find that a good use of the ONE chance we have had in years for wormholes to get some attention, well Fozzie must be pleased to have at least one satisfied customer.

You really have still totally failed in every measure to understand!

The problem is that Hyperion has failed to meet every one of it's stated goals.
Risk has not increased as risk was mitigated against by rational player behaviour.
It has simply made wormhole life more dreary dull and empty, a perfect example of the law of poorly thought out actions and their unintended consequences.

Whilst wormhole effect changes are still playing out, and scan signature consistency is good, Fozzie threw a hand grenade into the room and thought that his redecoration would be an improvement, sorry, it isn't and everyone who disagrees with you is not whining, You may enjoy the imaginary risk, risk only has relevance if you put yourself in the position of encountering it, others have been forced to adapt in a rational manner, to disagreeable poorly designed changes in combination, and that is NOT good for the game.

They may have been done with the best intentions, but if they had actually listened to those who lived in wormhole space, including yourself, they may have got it right first time rather than creating an unholy mess that needed cleaning up.

Firstly Yes Rolling holes is more of a PITA, but more risky? Nope, rational people manage and mitigate risk which means that often they do not get rolled at all, this leads to more dreary, uninteresting boring gametime. Since when has making your product more unpleasant been a good design goal? But you jump caps through all day if you wish, whatever floats your boat.

Ok whilst I am not going to precis over 100 pages in one thread I have commented accordingly in italics.

In a nutshell, translation:- we do not know what to do and are unwilling to listen, so throw some random "blind luck" disruptive changes in and hope for the best.
Response:- Do not expect us to be so easily impressed we know when we hear PR bull.
Most rational people judge by actions, not meaningless spiel that bears no resemblance to them. CCP has forgotten that most of their players are adults to some degree or another and have been manipulated during their lives by experts. Ameteurs are just too obvious for words.

This may sound over harsh, personally I believe the team had good intentions, however, the horrible mass spawn change, and the effects ot the other changes in combination, had effects that were predicted by the community, but for whatever reason were disregarded.
The self congratulatory press releases simply fueled the feelings of many. When coupled with calls for feedback that was clear erudite and incortrivertable, that has proven to be correct, being completely disregarded, well there are not the words..........

This rollout could have been excellent, but unbalanced just too many areas, if this had been adressed with the release, a carrot to go with the stick if you like, then reactions would have been different. But the random "blind luck" mass spawn mechanic was just so horrific, it doomed the release before the dev blog, and NEVER recovered. One may as well try to sell the concept of a fruit machine to a statistician, he will Never believe it is a good idea for his use no matter how you try to dress it up with pretty words and flashing lights.

If you wish to defend the indefensible, carry on, but there will be few who share your take on this.

what i said in another thread

This best illustrates how CCP got it wrong. highsec gets new PVE content which they'll expand on over the next few patches while w-space got a shake-up no one asked for. I really hope they are watching the numbers and act accordingly

It does seem to put more pressure on them to do something quickly and move on to the next, there are certainly advantages apparent with the new process, but only so long as that does not happen. They need some flexibility in the process to be able to rectify and rebalance things quickly. Hopefully their management will allow for that.
