I don't know about random statics but giving some existing wormholes duel statics would give people a reason to fight over systems.

Not that I dislike the idea, but removing the "warp to" requirement wouldn't stop safe farming. They'd just crit their holes.

Do you have anything specific in mind that makes you reluctant to be against the random statics?

The problem I always had with WH PVP was the fact it's virtually impossible to get a fight out of people that aren't online. WH inhabitants seem to never, ever, ever be online. I think this is an artifact of the timezone I fly in and the fact that all the content in a WH tends to be done before the later TZ people log in.

So, what I'd like to see is content that spreads itself out over the day. This would mean it's worthwhile for a EU TZ corp in a low class WH to have some AUS TZ people online. :)

Ed: Yes, you can knock over a POS to force a if that's your thing. But that seems awfully heavy handed.

accept the static would be random so rolling a c1 in the hope that the next one would be a c6 to the system you are looking for would be a waste of time.

There are several examples of people who have overcome issues like this by jumping pods into the critical hole, followed up by a carrier full of small but effective ships such as t3's. That said, would it be inherently worse that instead of collapsing their connections, they'd change to critting them instead? Afterall, with the change we are looking for improvements, if none can be thought with the change, then the change is bad. I gave an example of a scenario that would be made possible with this, so naturally it would allow something that the current ways do not.

For better or worse, it would kill 'hardcoreness' of c5s and c6s, with regard to logistics. Need pos fuel? Roll static 2 till you get a hs. Invade someone? Roll static 2 all night bringing 3 caps at a time in all the lows and nulls you run across.

Instead of leaving the hole untouched, we'd crit it and leave a scout on it. Still untouchable; wouldn't fix the problem.


Svo.

As this seemed to have been buried in the other thread...

More unpredictability for wormholes is how you increase conflict....

That's pretty much an impossible thing for CCP to fix though. Some timezones will always be more quiet than others. Personally I play from 6AM EVE time to midnight, sometimes beyond. with those early hours being my prime simply because that's when I have my kids in school/daycare and have all the time in the world to play. Meaning I definitely get how the AU/EU time zone can be quiet, I suffer from it too. All we can do pretty much is hope that more people from our timezone move on to W-space.

I don't object to the fact that there's fewer people in my timezone. I'm objecting to the fact that by the time we log on there's literally no content at all in WH space. That's a design problem, not a player problem.

Ed: That is to say, people will never move to WH space as long as all the content is completed for the day by the time they log in. I'm asking for the content to be delivered a bit more slowly and throughout the day.

Having some form of alliance bookmarks would also help.

So by content you mean siterunning. Why don't you simply roll your static connection and run the sites there? Either way, that's not really what this suggestion is about...

i don't know wtf you're talking about lil' kid

Are you saying that someone is coming into your wormhole everyday and running your sites before you get online?

Spies would rejoice if this ever happened.

Will you two clowns ******* pay attention here? My point is that content has frequently been burned through by folks in earlier TZs, and this provides a very substantial barrier to people from later TZs getting into WH space. No people = no conflict.

Or are we not trying to discuss ways to get more conflict in WH space?

-Liang

Instead of having hissyfits like a little kid, you might want to clarify what that content is that you keep running out of. All I could think of is sites as those are quite simply the only thing you can run out of and even that is fixed by rolling your static and doing it somewhere else. If you wish to continue like a kid or someone with PMS, please don't bother responding.

Maybe by "wormholes" he means high sec and by "content" he means asteroids...

Obviously. High sec is where I spend my days.

Ed: Holy ****, I didn't realize you were such an amazing PVPer!! 367 kills and ranked 43000! How ever will I ever be able to relate to you!

Oh dear, someone just brought up rankings in here. *goes to get his fireproof suit*
