That's understandable, but the group of people who like mindlessly following optimized routines are a very vocal minority and the game is just flatly better when things are shaken up a little. This seems like a good change that will cause a lot more interesting choices. No points made why this change would be bether but dozens of reasons why it would be bad . Should be tried on cyno's first to get a bether view of the effects. Maybe it would shake up the blue donut. |

This is a great idea if it is your plan to get half of the WH population to stop playing and the other half to finally move to nullsec. If that is the case, you might as well also add some cool random ship explosions when a fleet jumps through a wormhole - you know, cause w-space is dangerous and so on. |

Wow Talk about Garbage If your in a small group, Not PL or Goons you cant own space CCP you ensured that with the current Sov. dynamics So we move in to a WH so we can call something home that we dont have to pay rent for. Some were we can defend and not have to worry about Titains and Damned Suppers being dropped on us when we try and have a fight. Wh space is the last resort for smaller groups / corps and CCP is going to take that away with this jump range garbage. Heres an IDEA look at the SOV Map activity on the weeked, ITS EMPTY Most of your SOV is EMPTY, its ******** when we drop out of a hole, at 01:00 Eve time , and NO ONE HAS JUMPED GATES in some of the nullsec Systems, you may want to think to yourself GÇ£Gee somethings broke, why is all this sov emptyGÇ¥.
Here is My question. Dear CCP were can we move to next and call home, were we can do something besides please F1 in the blob fleets you love so much to advertise. CCP since your Stripping the only defense we have (Worm hole control) from huge wormhole groups, what is your plan next? push all the smaller groups out to get bigger blob fleets for you to advertise on you tube?
This Is not "content" this is garbage. Try this [pause for effect] Add something NEW to wormhole space. Given were not a huge number of people and what we think doesn't way heavy with you guys, but come on give us a break.

^^ Its a bit like some of the recent changes to nullsec - it causes some extra work for bigger entities but doesn't have the desired effect of inhibiting their ability to project power as they are big enough to deal with the burden, while smaller entities struggle even more to be effective with the extra burden to deal with. |

I can't see any positive ideas here. And many many negatives.
It all works for large WH entities with a lot of people online - it adds a new dynamic to getting content. However, small WH entities suffer as there's no way they'll roll or put large ships through. It's just no a risk worth taking.
So I'm a large NO!
Look more at this idea please, CCP, it's not terribly well thought through for the vast majority of WH dwellers. |

So instead of adding new features/content to wormhole space, CCP are going to make a change that will have a negative effect on wormhole space as a whole?
This type of decision is what really makes me frustrated with the developers. I think this proposed change will discourage the "rolling " of wormholes because the must vulnerable ships (capitals and battleships) will be taking the biggest risk. In the end, only the biggest groups can safely use chain rolling tactics, while smaller groups have to make the decision to either risk big, or log off.
IMO a better change would be to reduce the wormhole jump range to 2 km but set the spawn distance (when exiting a wormhole) to around 6 km.
The only positive is that fighting on a HS will be riskier. +1 |

Honestly i dont know what you people expect, there has been countless years worth of threads were we have whined about how predictible WH's are and how easy it is for your content of the moment to roll you away at their choosing perfectly safely unless you have a bubble up before they click warp.
Now CCP actually try to do something and you all carry on like it is going to ruin WH's. I think 40km for a capitol is a bit high but i welcome changes to the current stale meta of WH life. Maybe if they change enough in WH's more people will be willing to bother again with WH PVP but as it stands it is lack luster boresville. |

You have awoken me from my slumber. With this change, you have single handedly killed c5 and c6 wormhole corps. We require the ability to effectively roll the static connection quickly and easily. You have just DESTROYED that ability. Spawning outside of jump range is a very VERY bad idea for several reasons. But all I have to do is provide one.
On December 16, 2013 a wormhole alliance by the name of Disavowed decided to get some payback and invaded our bros in lead farmers. Hard knocks took up the call and over the course of 3 hours we rolled 32 static wormhole until we found the correct hole. Leading to one of the largest fights wormhole space has EVER seen.
This would not have been possible if we were not able to roll our static connection, literally, every 5 minutes. This kind of change destroys all kinds of quick response in wormhole space. |

Hi CCP Fozzie,
Thank you for responding to this thread, I'd like to contribute some constructive feedback on the matter which helps in moulding how this change is deployed.
The first part that stands out is how this change was found. Please confirm if this is the standard way CCP deploy changes, ie: for all changes you just put them on SiSi and then work on them from there, even if players find them before you announce?
The second part that stands out is how this change will be perceived to impact "content" in W space, and by content i mean PvP. W space is so dynamic sometimes its possible in your current W space chain there will be no activity so you're required to roll your static to try and find someone. Whether this is another W space entity or a K space connection.
Now rolling high mass WH's means the use of capitals, capitals spawning 40 km's from the WH will certainly take some time to get back to the hole and jump through. Now doing this once off, adding maybe 5 to 10 minutes to rolling 1 hole isnt bad. When you multiple this by the amount of times people roll their static this is a large amount of time! The time spent rolling your static will add up and people dont have unlimited time to play EvE. EvE is reknown for having a high age level player base, with this comes more people working, more people with families and these are priorities for their time. If they know they're going to have to devote 20 to 30 minutes JUST for rolling holes its a negative to W space.
On the topic of how entities of differing sizes engage each other this change will have a perceived negative effect on the smaller group. To ensure the safety of your capitals, if you choose to use them for rolling, you will need to have a backup fleet on standby something not all W space entities can do. If you want to use smaller ships then its going to take a long time to roll, waiting out polarity. Or they just choose to leave it and log off. All this changes play time and how your player base interacts with them game.
I hope you find the above information useful. This is just my personal opinion but similar views appear to be within this thread.

Dear CCP, notice from this thread that, by and large, we DON'T want you making large changes to W-space. We barely want you making small changes; you got W-space "right" when you first rolled it out, and have left it alone for the most part without breaking it. What we want most of all is that you consider the changes in the rest of the game that you make and what effects they might have on W-space, altering them BEFORE you break something else in W-space. Again.
As far as changes we WOULD like to see in W-space, Corbexx has opened a discussion thread just for that. Most of them were intended to be small changes, but naturally when people get talking together, the ideas start flowing. That thread is discussed and vetted by the community, as is the list of things Corbexx would send you.
From day one, we've thrown your plans for W-space in the toilet and did our own thing. For a company that prides itself on player-driven content, you should be proud of that and encourage that. You shouldn't try to keep screwing us over like you do. Are the tears worth the lost subs? If the idea is to drive people back to Nullsec, realize that many people in W-space have already been to Nullsec, didn't like it, and wouldn't go back. They will leave the game instead.
Someone else posted a brilliantly insightful comment: Nullsec groups are unhappy with their space. Wormholers are very happy with their space. Work on fixing what makes your customers unhappy, not breaking what makes them happy.
Disclaimer: This change as is wouldn't affect me or my corp quite so much. We would just stop using Orcas to roll, and would instead only use battleships or 100MN cruisers. In fact, with the new cargo capacities of the specialty indy ships and DSTs, there isn't much use for an Orca in W-space anymore if this change goes through, except maybe for baiting.

This is the new iteration of the Hated Cloaked K162 Gankhole idea that was stickied for months, then unstickied this weekend (8/2/2014).
Everybody HATED that idea.
Everybody HATES this idea.
If you want to create more content for wormholes, why don't you do what the ENTIRE FKING community has asked for.
Revert back the Discovery Scanner (no more instant show wormholes) Revert back mining sites to anomalies. Change Black Holes to something Viable. Deal with C4 space and figure out if a dual static is viable for it.
Hell pick one thing from the W Space Little Things Thread. There are viable concepts that are agreed by the entire wormhole community there. The community, Your Customers, And the CSM that was voted by US in YOUR Election.
Why don't you start Listening To Them.

Null secers are right. This already happens with gates, so.. what's the point of so much fuss? None.. just tears.
I'll break it down so even a bullhead can understand.
Wormholes are not gates. W-space is not Nullsec nor do we want it to be more like Nullsec. The mechanics surround kspace gate fights are a big draw reason a lot of us live in w-space, so we don't have to deal win that crap.
Tldr.
Different from kspace is good, GTFO with your it works for us in null crap. It's not wanted and not constructive.

I agree its the wrong solution but it is a step in the right direction.
You only have the people at fanfest WH round table to blame as all the recent changes to WH space have developed from that meeting. CCP confirmed this. |

helllll no
i'd like to actually use my capitals, this means they will just never leave the hole anymore
capitals spawning 7km off MAYBE, so that you can't immediatly close it but it's still not a suicide mission/pain in the ass to roll holes
and spawn subcaps 10-20 off so that faster ships have a chance
this change as it stands is just pants on head ******** |

corbexx wrote:ok so some stuff is up on reddit. http://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/2ci5ue/dear_ccp_stop_fucking_with_wormholes_please/I'll be totally honest I'm not sure what I can and can't say about stuff (i'm checking now on skype). What would really help is for people to discuss it and put feed back in a calm and meaning full way. Raging and calling people names won't help me at all. what i mean here is say why you like or dislike it, what effects you think it will have will it be good or bad, give reasons. stuff like "this is terrible RAWRRAWRRAWRRAWR" won't help and will just get in the way. I see several issues. it makes a boring job rolling holes more boring. This favours bigger groups over smaller groups. C2 to C4 orcas could be a issue. It probably wont affect farmers at all cos if they connect to a big group they will just not bother to roll and log
What it does is make rolling a hole for (insert reason) more tedious and time consuming. Wspace is time consuming as is. We deal with it since we did, after all, choose to live in this space with its different issues. However, that doesn't mean that we want to see arbitrary designs implemented that will reduce the QoL in wspace by requiring further time invested in basic logistics (read: rolling for egress/ingress, rolling for PvP, rolling after PvP, rolling because a fight won't happen, rolling for PvE, etc.). This increases the amount of time that this basic and required task will take by a healthy margin.
The option to "make pings with an inty". If this change goes through, the smart people remaining in wspace who need to roll a hole will likely do this. However, this requires yet another pilot (or more) in order to make it work. One for the ping (new), at least one for the scout (existing), at least one for webs for caps (new) because you don't want them slowboating into warp. From a rolling perspective, it will increase the number of pilots required by at least 2 but more than likely 2+ which places further demand on smaller corps. The guys who run in 30-40+ gangs won't really notice the addl one or two bodies because they'll have them. It has a larger negative impact on the smaller groups as they won't have enough pilots online all the time to realistically roll the hole without considering the ship a loss upfront.
Collapsing holes, or crit'ing holes during PvP is a valid tactical decision though when the numbers of pilots involved is heavily tilted one way or another.
And as for jumping caps into a fight on a bubbled hole. Good luck seeing those with anything approaching regularity. Same goes for jumping caps into someone's home hole for PvP. In addition to the (likely) home cap # advantage, CCP has just given the defenders all the advantage that matters as well in this regard....range (from reps/capxfer/extract). Suicide triage/dread is the only time an FC in their right mind would commit these resources at that point.
I'm right behind you |

Oh good, another complete useless change to WHs by CCPs that does NOTHING but **** people off. Ships in WHs need to spawn within jump range. It is a key difference between WHs and gates and is offset by the polarity timer. Without it in make daily jobs like rolling WHs god awfully tedious.

Has it occurred to you that you will also be effectively killing the mercenary play style in which alliances accept contracts from smaller groups that live in w-space and their ability to roll statics to get to their clients home system in order to complete their contract.

I think it is a horrible idea for several reasons mentioned, but I might have found the thought behind it:
Nestor The Nestor (as designed currently) has incredibly low mass - around half the mass of a normal Battleship. This should make it very popular in wormholes.
Wait ... no ... even if they would make the change it would still be a bad ship. Sorry guys, I give up. |
