There are a lot of threads bashing the Hyperion changes. I started one with suggestions for the future PVE changes. Only one other person gave any of his suggestions, everyone else just said why things couldn't be done.
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.
Bashing the Hyperion patch in thread after thread is repetitive and probably past the point where continuing to do that is useful. I doubt they are going to roll all those changes back (though they have adjusted them a little, which is nice) because they invested some time in it, and rarely do game companies spend time on a big patch to then roll most of it back (I've seen games go under rather than their devs admit they made obvious/predictable mistakes.)

Secondly , you have to be blind, def, and lazy to not notice the amount of ppl giving out there own "$0.02". Do you even read forums threads? Have you ever heard of a podcast?
Of course they will do as they please, but more and more repetitive crying about what they've done recently is just adding tears to a full bucket. There are dozens of threads all saying the same crap.
They might actually pay some attention to what would help W-space right now, because they will most likely realize their patch had the opposite of its intended effect. They probably won't admit that (game devs rarely do) but it doesn't mean they won't pay more attention to constructive ideas.

It's not just heartstab. It's CCP's money and peoples' jobs. When they invest money trying to improve W-space and they fail, they can decide to either 1) find out why and work on it again; or 2) decide W-space isn't worth the effort, because not enough customers care about W-space. Someone who is already trying to explain to his manager why thousands of dollars worth of labor has actually damaged W-space activity, not improved it, might have a hard time justifying additional resources to work on it. He might also demonstrate to that manger that he doesn't really understand W-space, so future efforts could be a waste as well.
Is there a benefit to the pages of threads bashing these changes? Sure. If CCP cares at all about why this patch did more harm than good to wormholes, they have plenty of player feedback to draw on.
CCP made predictably bad decisions to get to this point. Who knows what misguided things they might do to "fix it," if they even try. Give them some ideas instead of more bashing, because they already have an ample supply of current bashing. I see very few current suggestions. Yes, you have to re-hash it all, because they are never going to read past page 1. |
