Crazy environment to try and work in now. Might as well just add local in and make it nullsec.
The frig holes: Absolutely mental design. You now have a hole that can connect to someone else, that is almost certain to stop up 16 hours.
You find someone and attack - they fight back. People die. This happens a few times....then what? 16 hours to wait until the refresh? Both sides are just annoyed because they want a new connection. Fighting the same people again and again is boring.
You have people in drone boat BS sitting the one side with light drones out, and frigs only incoming - fuuuunnnnnn :\
These holes should be very small time wise - an hour or two at most, then it changes. 16 Hours is madness. It's just so boring..... |

frig holes are overvaluated. their lifetime should be max 8 hours if not 6 or 5 hours. there should be developped also cruiser and battlecruiser holes to balance this , now is huge mess and chaos. |

There are plenty of holes able to fit cruisers and battlecruisers already. And frigs. Some even fit battleships and Orcas. A few can even fit a capital!
As to the plethora of new, nearly useless wormholes, CCP please repeal this change. I went into a C1 today and scanned. C5 with a C6 static connected into it with one of these. Was it occupied? Nope, one dead stick, and 9 POCOs, both belonging to different corporations. See, those C5 guys read the writing on the wall and left. Might have been recently, might have been a month ago, but they are gone. I was unsurprised to see 9 sigs in that system. More than half were holes to nowhere a frig is of any use. Good call on this new troll holes! |

Now you may wonder if that cov ops came through the frig hole and is most likely just a minor threat, or if he came from one of your other four holes and is possibly the tackler for a strong fleet.
Also, with so many holes, the old habit of just not doing anything whenever you have an open hole in your system that you cannot close, must end; either you move out or you do stuff with holes open.
For those with limited understanding of player behavior here's an explanation of why increasing risk without extra reward is negative for both hunters and hunted.
Right now for the lower class WH the risk vs reward is as follows.
REWARD (50mill per site on average) VS RISK (250mill required ships vs chance of getting cought 1/?)
Before hyperion id say 1/10 chance of getting killed(including roling wh). Which meant income was similar to highsec but leaned heavily on a luck factor. My corp has been in the WHS for years now so this is an accurate estimate.
After hyperion id say the chance of getting killed 1/2 or 1/3 so you make 100 mill/150mill for every 250 mill you poor into to this isk sinkhole.
Granted i cant accurately prove what the increased risk is yet. But based on the fact that you cant role the whs with a small corp in a lower clas wormhole i can make a good estimate. Because if we didnt close the whs while running sites the chance of getting killed whent up by 500%.
Im pretty sure CCP doesnt want to role back the changes so i suggest improving revenue in the lower class wh's and decreasing other risks.
Here are some suggestions
1 All sites have to be scanned down in LOWER class wh's. - RISK (this should dial back the pray has to fall into my lap mentality of pvpers that like to shoot things that dont shoot back)
2 Make the PI command centers in the WH more efficient and have larger capacity. + REWARD This benifits lower class wormholes because these are connected to empire space. The increased efficiency will generate more isk per click(matches nicely with crius). This should make the PI people flok into the wh's and give the hunters some extra targets.
3 Create a special burner mission anomoly for LOWER class wh's
4 Be creative ;)
For more emergence the accessibility of LOWER class wh's didnt need to be fixed . Higher rewards generates more competition which in turn generates more emergence.
The reward system in wh's is simply broken. The C5 & C6 are making tens billions a day and the lower class whs have a hard time making a billion a week. For a corps with 10 members thats just terrible. You might aswell mine veldspar in a venture all week long.

Holy crap! You guys ever see the Captain America movies where Hydra always says something like "cut off one head, two grow in it's place". That's seriously what I feel like when closing a WH. You close one, two open.
On a side note, I wonder how much money CCP anticipated on making when people have to start paying for the game and can no longer plex because they deem it to high risk. |

Hey everyone. As part of the ongoing followup to Hyperion we're going to be reducing the spawn rate of the WSpace-WSpace small ship wormholes at today's downtime. Note that existing connections will still be active for their lifetime so it will take a day or so before things level out at the new normal.
Keep the feedback coming our way. Thanks. Game Designer | Team Five-0 https://twitter.com/CCP_Fozzie http://www.twitch.tv/ccp_fozzie/ |

PLEASE reduce also other wormhole spawn rate too. because living in wormhole is now lottery , if you manage eoungh assault frigs you can easily take out POS . keep the random wh spawn and frig spawn low for lower class wormholes , higher wormhole class higher spawn rate , if settings for spawn are global for all wormholes , keep them at minimum then |

I still think there should be no frig holes between w-space systems, it makes no sense due to frigates being largely ineffective at pvp in w-space. if you are lucky you could maybe torp a ratter, but the odds are the sleepers will kill u first.
if you lose a pos to assault frigates, then i seriously suggest you put more guns up lol. |

I am from a small WH corp with not many active players, the increase in random connections is really killing our interest in WH Life.
1) We have so many random connections that it can take 2+ hrs to scan out a chain, not a problem for a bigger corp with multiple scanners but an issue for corps with only 1 scanner at a time. Scanning the chain has changed from the excitement of possible content to an endless chore.
2) More connections for blobbers to blob through. Again not an issue for larger corps but smaller ones are defenceless against these roaming t3 blobs. They can just waltz in through their new random connection and kill any hope of content for the day.
3) Frigate holes also favour the blobber. Regenerating mass means that they can put through as many ships as they like with no fear of being rolled out.
You have stated that your intention for Hyperion was to;
- Create some variety and excitement in wormhole mechanics since most havenGÇÖt changed in many years.
- Provide ways for players to engage more fully with the random and mysterious elements of wormhole life and a ease back on attempts to GÇÿtameGÇÖ and control wormhole mechanics.
However instead you have;
- Taken out the excitement and suspense in new connections and WH life in general.
- Provided greater blobbing opportunities for larger groups who still have control over their connections.
WH space used to be something that groups of all size could live in and enjoy, now it seems that only the larger groups can have the fun. It's a real shame what the Hyperion update has done to WHs as they were the only part of EVE I really enjoyed. |

While you might very well think that, it is more likely that they really did not understand the consequences of their action, and as we are normally not overly vocal,so they thought that they probably knew what was best for us.
We are not normally complaining as wormhole space actually worked well, and our only complaints were the old changes related to making things anomolies, and could we have the value of low class wormholes looked at please?
They thougt somehow that we actually only wanted "excitement" and because we have worked out how to manage the ridiculously high levels of risk and danger, and did not complain, that we needed more risk.
How wrong can one possibly be? There is one EvE. Many people. Many lifestyles. WE are EvE |

My own theory is that they realise they need to change nullsec, but are reluctant to do so without trialling some stuff out first, so at least some of these changes (and probably changes to lowsec and wspace in the future) are meant to model some analogous change in null. |

Not really; they changed stuff to wspace so blobbing is the way to go, ironically blobbing is exactly what made nullsec stagnant in first place.
I wonder why the great CSM members did nothing against this, good luck being the small guy in wspace now. |

If you had read the threadnought on mass-based spawn distance, it would become clear to you that our CSM wh-representative corbexx took part in the discussion, very vocally and actively, with well laid-out posts.
I have faith that he tried what he could. Also, you should keep in mind, that CSM people, unike CCP devs, dont get paid for their work here.
Instead of flaming the CSM, you should rather ask why CCP apparently does not listen to them at all in this case. |

Keep the feedback coming our way. Thanks. Great change, hopefully it means under a dozen wormholes in every system. That said, how about limiting it to 1, maybe 2 of these per wormhole? 4+ is just tedious chore to try to manage, and for any of the higher class WHs they already are pretty meaningless.
Granted, with T3 frigates and destroyers, and some T2 frigate logi, maybe it would revitalize interest in these low mass, no use wormholes? |

Only 2 major parts need to be rolled back, the massed based jump distances and the frigate WHs. Rest of the patch didn't harm anything I can see. The overview hiccup was fixed already, and they are already decreasing spawn rates on these new WH connections. Everything else isn't whats causing mass exodus from WHs to K-space. |

The frigate based wormholes seem to have been fixed over time... I think we all just got a shock when CCP in their infinite wisdom spawned them all straight after DT.
