Hello I wonder if other corporations have noticed a significant increase in conection wormholes I wonder if this is a bad week we go through on the presence of these wormholes or a permant nerf of wormholes (that is to say not one static but four - five Wormhole regulary) |

Other pilots in my alliance have noticed this as well...k162s into system spawning DURING DT. It would be an incredible change to wormholes if true.
Also, how is this possibly a nerf? http://www.TalocanUnited.com |

If you want to be able to run sites easily without being disturbed or interacting with other people, might I suggest you move to null sec. http://www.TalocanUnited.com |

In the last few days, I've had an average of 1-2 new incoming WHs in my system each day. Usually I don't get any, but the streak isn't really long enough to call it anything other than random yet. It's certainly higher than usual, but random is random.
I have noticed (from sig IDs) that many of them are from at or before downtime, but it had been several hours before downtime that I last scanned. I'll stay up till DT tonight and report my findings... |

If this is confirmed then this is an awesome buff. Better chances to drop in on farmers and gank them and better chances of finding good null/lowsec exits for roams. |

You are subject to what I call the "When it Rains, it Pours" k162s effect.
You've probably been going along all hunky dorie, and then BAM! Two C3 non-statics into your c5 even though those things are supposed to be rare as hell but they BOTH go RIGHT TO YOU! And what's that on the horizon? Two null-secs!

Those are incomings from the chinese server. On a more serious note, the fundamental rule is "someone has to activate a hole". Without it you get a k162 without someone to kill on the other side |

Have noticed this also in both our holes ^^
Possibly just random chance, but it seems to have been consistent for us in the past week or so. I'll keep some limbs crossed because...

Which is why it would be such a fundamental change if CCP ever altered the mechanics. One of my pilots said he was having k162s spawn DURING DT (had probes watching signatures both immediately before and after DT). Which, if verified, means the database was triggering them, not actual players.
Could potentially interconnect WH space a lot more, which we need. http://www.TalocanUnited.com |

Well, you can have up to 6 connections to your WH. So be glad it's only 5. You might be happy that probably 4 of them 5 might be carebears, so you could easily cycle those hole's and do your ratting.

My personal feeling is that we've been running in to others more frequently this last couple of days. Also we've been reconnecting to our previous chains more frequently.... Bug/nerf/buff/whatever... I'm not complaining :) |

That could also mean that dt could activate whs at random or the statics. But dont take out of the ta le that the players spawn the k162 from their origin points. |

We haven't seen much out of the norm in our C5, though this week we did have an unusually high number of Null sec connections. Not that we were complaining! |

Personal record for number of holes connected to the same one is 12. 7 incoming and 5 outgoing. |

There are some players that moved into WH space to get away from other players... Tis a bad day indeed if I'm forced to interact with other players in my WH because of too many connecting Wh's (gets in the way of making ISK). |

If you feel bad about interacting with other players in a multiplayer game, I think you might want to go here.
In any case, WHs are not meant to be separate from the rest of the game. |

Well, you can have up to 6 connections to your WH. So be glad it's only 5. You might be happy that probably 4 of them 5 might be carebears, so you could easily cycle those hole's and do your ratting. Personal record for number of holes connected to the same one is 12. 7 incoming and 5 outgoing.
Yeah there's no cap. It just becomes statistically unlikely at a certain point to get any more incoming/outgoing connections. Otherwise those C2s with c5/NS could get potentially "locked" because they'd stack up to your magic number (6 in this case) with 4 wanderings and never be accessible.

I had 2 HS holes from my WH, and 2 random guys came in from each side and started talking in local to each other. They said they were both practicing their scanning for Odyssey. So, I'd agree with others that people are just scanning more, and opening up more chains. With how easy it will be with Odyssey, I'd expect a lot more chains opening from random daytrippers.
With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

If you think having another wormhole opening up into your area is a bad thing I am guessing you don't know how to farm wormholes. 90% of my income comes from the wormhole next door, and not the wormhole i live in.
For the extra holes: Granted this has yet to be 100% proven, BUT if you have a K162 leading into your wormhole someone had to warp to it from the named side. For example when i warp to a B274 the K162 apears out in high sec the second i start my warp to the wormhole. More K162s opening up into your wormhole system mean more players living in wormholes who open their connectors. That is why if you don't warp to a wormhole the timer does not start. It has to be "opened" by warping to it first. |

Last night b4 DT i checked and had no incoming WH's. The servers were back in less than 10 minutes. I waited as it counted down. Logged in right away, and found a new k162 leading to a C4. I am quick with logon scanning, ie, i launch a probe b4 it emergency warps. So maybe CCP did make a change.
The corp on the other side were a bunch of bitches though. I missed tackle on that stabbed orca. They have 5 pilots online, 2 in a domi, onyx, tengu & something else. They still REFUSED to PVP against a nighthawk, scorp, and prophecy. J154109, Rorqual, & orca in forcefields. Their tower also has **** for defense since it has 4 corp hangars, sma and intensive refining array online. Russian corp from Red alliance. |
