Wormholes

Because no one ever caught someone using wormhols as a k-space pipe.

However K162 spawning automatically won't solve anything - people will just mass their static to verge of collapse before bearing and if they are ultra paranoid also bubble spam them and when rolling to try and find something to shoot it gives the potential targets anything from seconds to minutes heads up depending on how fast would be attackers are scanning down their new static sig and length of warp to it (currently you can even go to the lengths of bouncing off a nearby bm or celestial to reduce the amount of time the other party have to notice the new k162).

in the case of a hole that has been set crit, yes, but when you roll, the k162 end won't have the prep time.

if it has been set crit and it is your static, finish the job and roll.

Self-pollination? That is some dirty stuff.... I'd cloak up and watch. lol

On topic though, if this isn't a failed test or glitch then I don't think it will too far down the road.

Granted, I see your point. But seriously, they won't listen to a word we say, look at the System Scanner fiasco. No one in wormholes thought that was a good idea, yet they did it anyway.

All that a side, I will admit I am somewhat curious as to what the hell that Devblog will reveal.

I would rather see a threadnaught grow on a mistaken change like this than see something so serious slide by until a Devblog. Look at the WH Spawn Distance threadnaught, a good portion of the uproar is over the underhandedness of the whole thing, CCP keeping such a big change hidden and then downplaying it when they get caught with their hands in the cookie jar. For someone to notice this on SiSi means that SiSi is working as intended, and shows the Devs that there are people out there who will notice when they try and slip this kind of stuff into us. I mean past us.

Cannot wait to explain that to people in the newbiehelpchannel: So if you jump twice through a hole you get polarized, except if it is a k-w hole. They are all K162s, yeah...
The only possible explanation for this change is a) too many newbies got blown up/ confused or b) this is just a technical test for new code.
edit: well I guess I forgot about a big one. Nullbears getting stuck on holes because they don´t understand the mechanics. In that case turn off that strange localthing that shows me when I jump in via a hormhole. But more likely there will be a new sov-deplayable, the wormholewarningsystem. "A wormhole has opened in this system and there are x pilots on the other side prepping to drop on your rattingcarrier. If you do not respond within 10 seconds you will be warped to your safepos to make sure you don´t get tackled."

Here is why:
"Bring the 'Unknown' back to unknown space."
and
"We want more danger and conflict (drivers)."

Now, we got unknown changes of us ahead which are a danger to our gameplay and currently driving conflict on these forums.

-> Mission accomplished.

I couldn't agree more, not just about my suggested change that is a thorn in the side of more AU players than just me. While i do like the first change to do with mass/distance i am totally opposed to the removal of polarization timers, but i 100% agree there is so many things that we as a community have asked CCP to look at that they could have spent dev time on and we would have kissed their feet over.

Personal SMA's (Can't be that damn hard if you made a personal CH that is useless as **** on a bull)

Fix black holes

Remove instant sig

Change Ore sites in WH's back to a scanned site

Give C4's dual statics. (while contentious it is still an issue that people wanted looked at in great numbers)

Adding different escalation options for sleeper sites that didn't just include Carrier/dread

improving either the demand for salvaged materiels to improve low class income or the drop rate/worth of blue loot.

Stop self destructing inside a FF.

So many damn things they could have worked on and what wasted potential we see them working on. It really dissapoints me and i hope a dev blog makes me feel better about the direction they are headed in.

Give him a beer or a bottle of best frozen Vodka.

Those are issues should be worked by DEVs. I would add there:

POSes

Corporations right management

Instead we get some ambush changes made by ppl came from null-sec power-blocks that are currently working in CCP. and why? because w-space is so hard understandable by those poor nullbears (just recall those poor ppl from null who tried to conquer all WH from single constellation and then rent them after - they experienced united WH Community love very quickly and because of that they do not like us - we are an obstacle on their way to profit and farm)...
