Wormholes

So I was running this site solo like I have done a thousand times before in the past with no problems and found it to be very difficult this time.

So difficult, I was stuck just repping the final wave and begging for help from my corp m8s because I knew that if I exited bastion mode with 5 sleeper battleships on the field, I would more than likely get popped off the field before I could warp to safety.

THANKS BTW CCP for that stealth buff to sleepers and no documentation in the patch release notes. Almost cost me a couple bill due to your ignorance. (I only learned of it after this awesome experience through the forums and corp m8s).

Anyway, long story short, the final wave (brief reference for you guys)

3x Frigates (Emergent Warden) [scram, web nos]
3x Cruisers (Awakened Warden) [rr]
5x Battleships (Sleepless Warden) [rr]wave...

Took 3 Marauders to break and about 30 to 40 minutes trickling down just the final wave with near perfect skilled characters.

Obviously these sites are meant to be difficult and I have come to the realization that they are perhaps no longer soloable, but in the same breath, it should not take 3 marauders half an hour to just do a single wave. That is very poor isk for the amount of risk divided 3 ways.

I hope that CCP will either rebalance or adjust this particular mission to compensate for this wonderful new NPC content because I doubt anyone will bother running them in the future once they experience the pure hell that is this site.

I think what most of the people deplore is that it's another "stealth" patch from CCP that implicate a huge change in WH and spceially the lack of communication from them towards the WH community.

Just look at the Jump distance thread. There were like over 20 Dev replies in less than 24 hours...

It's just frustating and sad but it gives us the impression that CCP doesn't give a **** about WH.

That is an interesting wave assuming the stats haven't changed with the RR fix.

What your instincts tell you to do and what you should actually do is different due to the mixture of resists and size of target - even though they'd have the most incoming RR the resists on the frigs are enough lower they are actually the easiest target if you can fully apply damage to them.

It looks like worst cases your dealing with less than 1600dps tanked so it should be possible to do it with 2 decently fit/skilled marauders unless the stats have changed with the update - the frigs are about half that but obviously harder to apply damage on.

You really presented it in an odd way.

Corbexx should still be compiling isk worth of sites in wormholes still.

But CCP needs to make wormhole stuff a little more valuable.

are you fkn kidding me?
ccp replied immediately in the first thread to pop up, explained what happened, pointed to the relevant notes in the patch notes and apologized for it not being clearer regarding sleepers.

it's not their fault you lemmings cant read and just keep spawning new whine threads about it.

oh and OP, just run garrisons like everyone else, there's no RR apart from frigs.

The real tragedy is this gentleman spent the better part of an hour baiting (intentional or not) and apparently nobody noticed. I must scout harder space the last few days has seemed empty.

Especially if it has been pretty much at the top of the page all day and called "CCP what did you do to sleepers..."

It was not CCP that was ignorant friend.
