Hyperion has been a complete disaster for the wormhole community IMO. The combination of jump mass changes, C4 additional static, and frigate holes has combined to make the perfect storm of an over-connected, under active and empty place in EVE.
Frankly, the changes that CCP has made over the last couple years have appeared to be with the intent to nerf WH space in general and the net effect is that there is less and less activity in wormhole space all the time.
It's pretty easy to see the direction that this is going is to eliminate the dynamic, adhoc, small group PVP that made wormhole space the most fun place in the game.
The question I have is why does CCP want to eliminate such a vibrant community within Eve online? Is it the lack of headline generating large fleets or because the wormhole fleets occasionally threaten Null bears?
Either way, simply looking at the lack of towers in so many wormholes as well as the lack of active pilots demonstrates that the Hyperion release is an unqualified disaster and will drive some if not many wormholers to leave Eve Online altogether.
CCP: Please stop ignoring your loyal userbase and rollback this release before it's too late!

I'd be interested in seeing the numbers (i hope CCP is watching), but from my experience over the last couple of days I can holeheartedly agree with the OP. I actually ran into two seperate C4 corps who were evacing out of their holes. /sad panda

I am not unhappy with it, mostly it's kinda "meh." Yes, it could have been better (smaller ships could spawn further out), but all in all its been not much different from my experience. Sig id's persisting is a huge improvement, c4 chains are a lot more interesting (although wanderings instead of more statics would be my recommendation) and the frig sized holes seem to offer possibilities although the stars have not aligned yet for me to have a great experience with them.
Perhaps we would gain more traction if we as a community talked to ccp about problems (like mining in wspace is utterly impractical as a result of many cumulative changes starting with the discovery scanner or we are tired of going the same two pve sites over and over or the experience of living in a pos is still terrible or we want to feel more ownership and control over our homes or we are tired of scanning empty system after empty system for hours on end without encountering even a single pi hauler, or perhaps killmails could include everyone in fleet rather than ignoring the boosters, scouts and logi or whatever else it is that bothers you) rather than complaining about particular implementations or worse yet asking for people to lose real life jobs. |

Why even come to wormholes anymore? The isk sucks, but instead you buff risk free pve in highsec with incursions . This is supposed to be dangerous space with huge rewards to draw players in. Instead we get nerfed, our entire quality of life gets shoved in the trash, and we have less targets than ever. But sure, go ahead and buff the worry free highsec isk faucet. The hardcore, no local, sleeper ai, doesnt matter. We should be getting sleeper faction drops and stuff. High risk, high reward. Instead, we'll just go to highsec to make isk, and come back to whs to shoot each other. What great design!
We need something to draw people in, rewards for us having to go thru your bullshit mechanics. Give use fleeper faction loot, moon mining, or something to make wormholes desireable to live in again. If the pvp dries up, you'll be losing some of the oldest wormholers in this community.
This entire thing is a joke, its obvious you didnt listen to anyone who actually know wormholes and use them everyday. What good is a frigate hole to a c4. Who does that help? Does it encourage pvp? Do you know what ships we pvp with in wormholes? Lets take this frig fleet vs some T3s! Why do we have a CSM?
If it aint broke dont fix it. I wont say this will kill wormholes, although its already put a dent in them. But if these sort of changes continue, it'll be time to jump ship. You dun broke it. |

I think all the treads are not winy but the community feels they have been wronged.
CCP asked for input and got it then just totally ignored it.
Its funny how most ppl troll threads when It dose not affect them but fail to give thought to How or when it will happen to them or how it will affect them in the long term.
Less pilots in w space = less things to shoot
I feel the biggest Thing ever implemented up until now to hurt w space was incursions. This gave Pilots a option to make lots of isk without having to go into w space to run sights.
Now with the mass based jumps Smaller corps are hurt by this. Larger corps not so much except down the road when there is less to shoot at
2 . Delayed k162 spawns are a good change
3. Frig Holes are just Clutter and we are finding them mostly useless
4 re spawning mass on whs i really don't have a opinion on.
As i said Above we will see in the long run How detrimental this is to w space But the Future Dose not look bright.
If CCP was too remove local From low and Null this would make 0.0 and Low much more interesting to Fly in and remove some server load from the data base
Change For the Sake of Change is bad Listen to you community CCP We are what make you Money. Remove Local From 0.0 and Low Space Please

Nobody needs to lose their jobs, let's not start World War 3, it isn't totally terrible - it just failed to achieve the original aims of Hyperion and needs some tweaks to make Wormhole Space more viable to increase activity.
Since the release I've noticed a dramatic drop in the amount of pvp content in Wormholes. By pvp content I mean finding online people in POS's, plexers, miners, detecting probes/scouting activity on D-scan, and organised pvp. Organised pvp in itself hasn't taken much of a hit, it's risky because of the amount of holes but that's counter-balanced by it now being easier than ever to find a wormhole belonging to a specific corp you want to find, due the amount of connections. However, in wormhole space this accounts for a tiny minority of the actual pvp which takes place. This demonstrated by the amount of activity I've personally seen as well as other corp-mates who have been scanning for content, and even then it's usually people online in POS's or scouts, and while it can be possible to initiate a fight in wormhole space through these, it needs mutual desire for pvp which returns to the organised pvp category - and pvp in wormhole space is very rarely mutual.
Of course, these are my own accounts and there's very little I can do to back them up, but similar experiences to mine are currently being echoed in the various threads. A quick scan through Zkillboard in the W-Space menu supports what I'm saying - bigger gaps between the timestamps on kills and the kills that occur are very rarely on miners or plexers. It's just too risky for them at the moment, and the rewards for it in C1-C4 holes just aren't worth the risk - and if you're in a C5 or C6, you're probably also big enough to have scouts on every hole and therefore it's not as risky for them. Perfectly fine for large elite corps, terrible for fresh, less experienced corps with fewer numbers.
It's worth remembering that the prosperity potential in Wormhole Space is what opened the door to many people who are currently there, and lots of those who are currently leaving. Plexers and miners, and their desire to defend their plexing and mining wormholes, are what created the large amount of content we previously had. However the reward for these is the same but the risk is further higher - thus it is counter-productive in improving Wormhole Space as this patch set out to do. Either increase the reward, reduce the risk, or a combination of the two, and I imagine Wormholes will be back to being as full as they used to be - but we need something dramatic if people are going to start setting up new POS's anytime soon.

Really? I see gaps of days in your killboards before you go to lowsec to find some 'content'. But yeah, ignore the wormholers who scan all day and kill at least 20 ships in wormholes everyday. Feel free to keep discounting their experiences tho. Good job. |

There is nothing incredibly bad about these changes, however there is nothing good to them either. They literally do nothing to help wormhole health and indeed weaken it as we have already seen people moving out. That means less content for everyone. I guess the highsec carebears and the nullbears have won this round. All of us wormholers will have to unite and become lowsec pirates or a nullsec bloc (shudder).

I've been in wormholes since they were formed. Wormholes were packed before incursions came out. I wonder why? Why did people choose risk free isk in highsec, than wormhole isk? Hopefully some game developer genius can tell me why that was a good idea? or was it just a good idea for their subscriptions? |

I wouldn't say that is my experience so far. Rolling is meh just more tedious than before, it was hardly the most exciting thing ever before... now its just that bit more dull .
So far many of the wh are just as devoid of action as before. admittedly i've not come across any peeps moving out yet.
Keeping an eye on site spawning mechanics, and no sites so far other than whs and one gas site (excluding regular anoms).
IMO, its way too early days to draw conclusions about the overall repercussions of this patch, and i approve of some of the intentions of the patch. But its hardly been a helping hand to lower class dwellers that's for sure. |

I still think the changes are good for wormholes because that grants us good basic mechanics that people can meet and find each other to do pvp or ganking or whatever. But at the moment I see no reason for people that make it worth to settle or venture into w-space.
So this is a good point for CCP to make a statement how they plan to rebalance PvE and industrial content in wormholes so that the old residents stay or new players move in.
And yes that patch was again a good example how low the communication seems to be at CCP. Buffering high sec content and make risk content more risky. StrangeGÇŞ |

I was optimistic at first and it's still early days but there definitely seems to be signs that Hyperion is having a detrimental effect throughout wormhole space.
I agree with most of the changes but let's be honest, Hyperion was largely a wormhole nerf. Without any additions to wormhole space (new content and activities) i think wormhole space will slowly die.
Unfortunately, knowing CCP, i doubt they are going to add anything interesting anytime soon and for that reason, I'm seriously considering leaving wormhole space. +1 |

You are right that this has completely changed wormhole space. And you are right to question if it is a place that people will consider remaining.
Without the mass spawn change and the realisation that everything we strive for will eventually be undone by bad luck, and there is no longer any point whatsoever trying, as all our skills, training, experience and tactics cannot compete with or adapt to "luck" there may have been the chance that we could overcome and adapt.
But now?
Seems like more and more are realising by the hour.
Such a shame, such a loss.

There is probably a lot CSM could say but not allowed to say. And with the failure of CCP to communicate with us, its just bad. CCP probably have a vision how they want things to be, but ignoring the people living in the sandbox, is a good way to alienate them. Good relations to your customers, make happier customers. Doing the WESAYSO approach and ignore them, probably not.
Would been more productive to try work towards fix the things asked for. Make wspace more attractive to move into would create more content for everyone.
