Bashing the Hyperion patch in thread after thread is repetitive and probably past the point where continuing to do that is useful.
Probably. But there's not much else to do, except login to your wormhole toons and play in what is now half-broken space. Or pack your bags for k-space. Or unsub.

If you guys don't be more constructive and post things you would want to see done to W-space, CCP will just do whatever they dream up on their own.
CCP does whatever it wants to do no matter what we do. To make a link between what the community does and what CCP does is asinine.
There's been so many ideas threads, there was Corby's "little things" thread, the Hyperion feedback threads are littered with alternative ideas. Some better than others, but most better than what was implemented against the community's better judgement.
A good chunk of Hyperion consisted of community-derived changes, namely the static sig ID's, improvements to black hole effects, and the K162 changes. All of those were well received. However, mass/distance spawning and the knock-on nerf to hole rolling, uncrashable yet useless frig holes, "grand central station" lower class wormholes, and now problems with site respawns basically ruined Hyperion for a good majority of the wormhole community. Especially small groups and especially PvE oriented players.
In particular the mass/distance spawning change precipitated a lot of problems and there was a community-based alternative that was vastly superior, but CCP ignored it.
The point is the community has been constructive and we have posted alternatives, and the community-derived changes seem to be working out pretty well. So we have a good track record, but the rest of the Hyperion changes were put in against the better judgement of the wormhole community and these changes appear to far outweigh, in terms of negative impact, the benefits of the community-derived changes.
We fought hard against the changes that were obviously going to wreck things. Better alternatives were proposed. They were ignored. That got a lot of folks upset and the response was to bash the patch and CCP. Who can blame them really, all things considered? What's left to do? |
