Hi everyone,
I have updated the original forum topic regarding drone behavior changes with the following statement, and I’m cross-posting it here for visibility.
A lot of healthy conversation surrounding the recent drone change is happening and we have been monitoring and discussing your feedback internally.
Our goal is to make PvE activities with drones a more attentive player experience that relies less on low or no attention gameplay moving forward, but the unintended impact on how the drone assist functions in certain scenarios is something we are not happy with. For this reason, we will be changing the drone behavior back to how it was before Tuesday’s patch in an upcoming deployment. We should have news for you on timing tomorrow.
We gathered a lot of valuable data and feedback from you and the CSM in the last couple of weeks on this matter and would like to thank everyone who shared their thoughts with us.
Fly safe! o7
