Wormholes

I thought people liked w-space because of the small gang fighting instead of massive blobs. Yes, we did seem to blob the Brave guys, but they had a few more that got away that we thought might fight, or we hoped they would escalate, but no such luck. I guess since many of you don't seem to approve of this investigation we will have to redouble our efforts. Stay tuned for the next installment of Rolled Out: Content Creation.

Wow,

Such compelling research. so by the looks of it, and yes rolled out looks to be very active (it was pages upon pages to look through), it seems that since the patch went live you guys have managed to find in WH space:

1 cap kill
some random dead tower mods
1 good small gang fight with Brave collective.

That's all the WH action you seem to have had in 7-8 pages of killboard activity. I'm certainly convinced that WH activity is in fact UP since the patch.

You're just bitter due to us seeing you ask for a recruiter and caused us all to back away slowly.

what do you accidentally kill someone found in W-space one time does not mean that it is something else interesting.
Those people who live in w-space there leave.
If your brave alliance kill in this month at 300B isk ships only in w-space I take my hat to you.

or can you explain why your corporation who claimed that you w-space pvp corporation left w-space and went to kill easier targets standing on low-sec gates?

W-space was dead/dying long before Hyperion. Was this an additional nail in the coffin? Most likely, but saying that Hyperion is what killed w-space is laughable at best. What killed content in w-space is the same thing that killed much of the content in null, groups blueing each other. One group gets to X active people in fleet, so group two feels they need to recruit/blue more people to fight them. Then group three needs to get bigger. Now instead of having ten 30 pilot corps we have one 300 pilot corp/alliance. The numbers are pulled from my back side, but you get the point. With farm holes and alts a corp/alliance can pretty much grow infinitely without tapping out the resources of one hole. Break up the mega-corps/alliances and more people will be spread across w-space to fight and gank, and guess what, none of that is dependent upon CCP, it is all on the players.

This is also probably where we would have to differ. The frustrating aspect to WH discussions have been that essentially there need to be two. There needs to be the discussion of the larger groups that live and fight in the more cap centric C5+ space. And then an entirely other culture for the rest of WH space.

In the last year I have actually seen an increase of inhabitants of C4 systems for example. While most weren't heavily PVP centric, they still afforded the opportunity of targets. I still may not have gotten tons of fights (more often than not I would run into a group too large to engage) but at least I saw people.

I do recall one night roaming solo in a cloaky ham tengu and came across a huge C4 farming fleet. 2 domis a mega, Maelstrom, 2 tengus, proteus, and a loki. Whacky comp i know. I knew i couldn't engage them but if i timed it just right i could maybe pop the noctis and GTFO. Now maybe that isn't good PVP, but it was a F**King thrill getting that kill right under their noses!

Now I have been roaming and barely seeing any living soul. Is it all the patches fault? of course not. But nothing in the patch has helped either.

Yes, because I look at API statistics to determine what system I want to log off in for weeks, or maybe even months, before getting one "good fight". I have no problem with the way you play(ed) the game, but assuming that CCP was obligated to provide you with the data you required to make it possible is shortsighted at best. I would love to have intel about where carriers are actively ratting in null, but CCP doesn't provide it, so I do the best I can with the tools I have. If CCP were to remove rat kill statistics for k-space it would have as much impact on how I play as it did when they removed w-space rat kill statistics. If you go back and look I said everyone who was complaining was overreacting about that one too.

I think there is some new requirement about having to put all of your worldly possessions in a safe and secure environment that can be destroyed or stolen from in order to qualify.

We used to maintain a few "bear holes", but thanks to Obama's new clean energy regulations we could no longer run the towers on WH pilot tears, so we shut them down. There may be a couple of pilots with an alt corp somewhere in w-space, but nothing official or corp sponsored. Now we just use w-space for booty calls. She can come over,but no spending the night.

I think I may contact Mister Al and restart WH Overlords as I consider us more of an "Overlord" who is removed and doesn't slum it with the plebs living in our domain.
