can we please have a yay or nay on the Drone Assist issue? will this be reverted or will it be staying?

What should I hunt now? I went roaming today and I didnā€™t see any subcap ratting. There wasnā€™t even ess to steal because no one was ratting in all of the systems I passed through. Iā€™m kinda lost on what to do on the PvP side tbh. I thought that the changes would give me more content but I unironically canā€™t find it.

This is weak concern trolling at best.

At worst, itā€™s a fundamental misunderstanding of how players adapt to new changes. Things donā€™t happen overnight.

The change just went live. Itā€™ll take a couple of days or so for people to adapt and figure out the next best alternative to the old krabbing changes. From then, itā€™ll be a week before that change is propogated through the community.

It took about that time for people to switch over from VNIs to Myrmidons and Dominixes. Iā€™d expect some transition time now.

Iā€™m not even troll posting. The change went live yesterday sure, but weā€™ve known that this change was coming a few weeks ago. So I felt that expecting krabs to already have a plan was not unreasonable.

What you mean to say is lock up targets, engage, atl tab to your alt, lock up targets and engage and do this for around 50 times on each toon or depends on how many NPC waves you get?

Pro tip: Like 80% of the playbase doesnā€™t pay attention to patch notes or devblogs.
Only a couple of loudmouths and crazies on the forums, twitter, and r/eve.

Most of them log in and find somethingā€™s changed and then cry about it without bothering to actually read, much less anticipate and plan ahead.

Yes.
This is how the game is now.
Either do it, or donā€™t.

Maybe itā€™s a goodtime to gatecrash null. lol

yeah, we KNEW that auto drone aggression was going away. very few people have a problem with that.
when the patch went live, we discovered that weā€™d also lost Drone Assist functionality in both PvP and PvE. This came as a very rude shock to a lot of folk as it wasnā€™t mentioned anywhere in the patch notes, or anywhere else that people can point me to. As yet, we have had no word from CCP whether this change will be staying.
Drone Auto Aggro and Drone Assist are two very different things.

So the drone nerf is getting reverted as well?

Jita local might actually be useful if thatā€™s the case.

Or you can learn about auto targetting systems, or use the Inflight Auto Target back option in the Esc menu, under general settings.

Now you can enjoy alt tabbing and pressing a single command per client. o7

This and other ā€œimprovementsā€ PROVE its never ever again wise to buy (one way or another) more than one month at a time.

BECAUSE.

Doing that prevents you from being able to

Vote with your wallet
Vote with your ā€œfeetā€, by walking away.

If enough people drone boycott like the BLACKOUT boycott,

ALL the drone changes must be reverted.

They will have no more choice than they did with BLACKOUT because

Their Korean Overlords are watchin.

Cloaky camping should be next on the list by this reasoning, but like GST, herpes and syphilis, its still with us.

Arguing with fanbois who are happily advocating and supporting EVERYTHING ****ing up the game as long as it doesnā€™t **** up THEIR idea of the game wonā€™t help.

Voting with your feet and voting with your wallet, might gelp.

Convenient ignorance again. Defender missiles, Auto-targeting missiles, smart bombs, titan doomsdays, and the pissweak lightning weapon those edenconn ships everyone hates use.

almost no-one here is arguing against the Drone Aggro changes. these are near universally regarded as A Good Thingā„¢.
Itā€™s Drone Assist being removed, without warning, thatā€™s upsetting people.
