I release them to go kill things...and they go have a picnic around an angel war general. Then about 2 minutes of orbiting him without firing they decide to go kill the angel hunter sitting 50k away.

Drones have always been a bit **** and I get the feeling they always will be.
It kinda becomes a problem when your 20m a pop fighters feel like doing their own thing.

I wonder if the Drone fix made it into the patch, or if it just didn't work?
I'm getting thoroughly annoyed with drone problems these days, to be honest. II mean they've always been around, but the patch brings them right into the lime light- they've had some glaring bugs since day one (with this new one cropping up as recently as Revelations 1) and yet they still don't get any loving.
I live in eternal hope that CCP are going to spring a "Surprise! Next patch is all about fixing drones!" announcement on us, but I may just be delirious from the stress of it all............

No offense but did you really expect CCP to fix this issue ?.. The ammout of times it's been fixed only to be..well not so fixed.

It could be worse. If EVE was any more like the Culture universe, drones would be influencing alliance politics through covert action.

Yeah guns hit instantly and missles cant miss.. .wheres the love with drones? no fitting requirements? pff.
I was fully aware that the new patch wouldnt fix drones... the last 3 patches have promised it.. they are still getting worse...
ALSO? wtf happened to zooming.. i tried to zoom in on a hammerhead to see if the skin was different at all and I cant... i cant even zoom in enough for it to render the drone... ehat?

It's something to do with the new camera view, Example... Try looking at a drone with a domi, the camera is pulled away back, where as if you look with an ishkur or something frigate sized, it'll show it upclose.
I noticed this change when I was in my mammoth after being in a breacher, and trying to view frig sized ships.
Basically, the bigger your ship is, the further the camera is out from whatever you're looking at. It's either to fix that deimos thread that was somewhere around here, or it's to give a better perspective of scale.
That or it's the new map format that changed it.

Ok, this goes to far. Pre Kali i never had a problem with the drones. They worked for me
After Kali/Revelations drones where semi borked. They worked 60%. At last they kept shooting things. Well not allways shooting those things i intended them to shoot but they shoot at all.
Now those little buggers somtimes ignore me, ignore my target but orbit it funny and do the stuff they did after Revelations.
Drones are not useable at the moments. Drones are my main weapon. So please fix them!
Thanks

not all drones are equally effected. i was using warrior 2s in my harbinger, and they were the dumb.
then i was using hammerhead 2s in my curse, and they work perfectly, like your soundcard in warcraft.
cant speak to the heavy drones, but swap out to different kinds and see if you can find some that work better. with our luck, EM drones will be best.

Looks like I will be sticking with T1 drones until the T2 are fixed. I was looking to upgrade to T2 here soon but might hold off dropping the ISK on them. I haven't had any issues with the T1 drones (Hammerhead, Ogres and Beserkers)

Since the patch today drones are still randomly choosing new targets to fly off to AND they fail to shoot ANY targets about 90% of the time.
Pre Revelations they were as good as they have ever been imo.

Would be nice to have drones that would actually listen, and if not listen, at least shoot something instead of just orbiting and having a pow wow. Finding it really frustrating that the patch today was supposed to have addressed the issue, and evidentially it hasn't. Maybe that breakthrough they were talking about before server started up was a breakthrough in how to make things more frustrating.

Today, my Hobgoblin Is broke off target and ran off to attack something else twice. My Hammerhead Is decided it's fun to attack a structure, when I definitely did not order them to, or even lock it. Thankfully it happened after the rats in the mission were cleaned up, but I really wasn't amused.

CCP's track record on drones is very discouraging. All drones issues, and I include the issues with carriers here as well, have been recorded, spoken about, whined about for months if not years.
So far they get worse and worse at every update and patch.
This is ruining the EVE experience for a large number of players, and we're not only talking Gallente here!
Will CCP, once and for all, fix the drones? Pretty please, with sugar on top?

I am about to leave work and go home to play EVE. This thread makes me think about overtime
For the love of clones everywhere, how hard can it be to tell the drones to never override user commands? How about scrapping the entire drone programming and setting three very simple rules:
a. If drones are assigned a target by the player, attack that until it's dead, even if their attack is totally innefectual.
b. If there is no target assigned by the player, pick the closest target firing at the player and attack it until it's dead, even if their attack is totally innefectual.
c. If there is no target assigned and no targets firing at the player, return to orbit.
Honestly, how hard would it be to scrap the entire drone AI and put in these simple rules?

I had to go and physically pick up two ogres at 10k because they got stuck on each other, and refused to come closer then 10km when issued the return and orbit or to bay commands. Also, when attacking it appears that only three of five are firing, and the damage inflicted suggests this.

If anyone is curious to the *specific* behavior of drones atm, they are choosing their own targets and then refusing to attack anything but that target. So if they wander off your target to something else and you assign them back to the one you want them on, they simply will not fight. If you let them go, they will attack their target. So, sadly enough, it's better to just let drones go than to assign them targets.
I'm not sure how the programmer f'ed this up this bad, they took the previous bug [random targetting] and *added* a new bug where they won't fire on anything else while leaving the random targetting untouched. That's gotta be some kinda record or something.

They even fell back into the old habit of humping each other.
But in an improved form: different drones with different speed do it now too!

Must be the dastardly self aware drones out in the new regions doing it! Rarely ever had drone problems until the Rev1 patch and now they act like a bunch of 6 year olds with too much soda in them with all the running around and not listening.. The workaround seems to be to give them the order you want them to do 3 times in a row and that gets them with the program.. Usually..

Yes, there are many many MANY issues that need to be addressed with drones.
-It's a pain in the ass for them to attack the targets you want. Even if they worked the way they are supposed to, the interface is insanely clunky. Their needs to be hotkeys to get drones to attack certain targets.
-Using repair drones on another ship is a hostile action? Come on.
-This whole "bug fix" of drones no longer attacking targets that you own is not needed, and causes more problems than it fixes. There is no reason why I shouldn't be able to tell my drones to attack my own loot if I wanted them too.
-Something needs to be done to address the "I'm gonna instantly regen my drones shield by scooping them and then launching them again" exploit.
-When are we going to see how much damage our drones do? Or are we going to have to test them on our friends until the end of time?
-Finally, would it really be that hard to have an option that allows drones to automatically return to ship once it starts warping?
If you're really going to pretend that drones are supposed to be retarded because they are controlled by AI. You should at least provide us with some realistic AI options for drones. For example, "attack nearest hostile" , "attack largest ship", "repair most damaged ship" , "return to drone bay if damaged." That way we wouldn't even about drones not adhearing to our micromanagement because we wouldn't have to micromanage them anymore.

I never had any problems with drones prior to today's patch, but now they all have minds of their own.
As soon as you try and target something new, they will stop whatever they are doing and attack the new target instead.
Sometimes they seem to be just orbiting your chosen target without firing at all, and others they all bugger off in different directions and do their own thing.
Maybe they've formed their own union and are working to rule?

I had a new bug: I lost my drone. Suddenly I have 4 instead of 5 Ogres in space. I thought it got killed by rats but no. It was sitting 10km from me. I had to scoop it back manually.
Looks like drones code is a neverending story for CCP.

I'm seeing the same exact thing. A small percent of the time all 5 of my drones orbit a target and do not shoot at ALL. The rest of the time the orbit a target and only some shoot, severly reducing the DPS. 100% of the time I have to order them 2-3 times to attack a target, since they've all split up and attacked anything they like.
I'm growing more annoyed with this game every day. Between CCP's recent poor decisions and lack of quality assurance, I've taken to playinf a lot more BF1942 and Civilization IV. For a game that's almost 4 years old, it is by far the buggiest "end product" game that I've ever seen (from the softwarre AND the hardware ends)

I always seem to get 2 drones "stuck together" aswell
While its not game breaking it makes me panic 'cos i always think something has aggro''d and popped one!
THey are truley in sorry state and if they got any worse id say they would be useless for anything "aimed" and just a random damage add to the main guns.
I lost 2 Hammerhead II cos of them deciding to wander off 10s of Km to attack sentry guns and turrets and not listen to my "come home darling" commands
anyway sure it will be fixed soon, back to pre kali, slight anoyence levels.

Tbh its been like this for so long and all threads which talk about drone issues never have any response from Devs or anyone up top.. no offense but they just dont. Its getting to be an ongoing pain that doesnt want to go away. It comes to something when you have to consider only using T1 drones instead of your shiny new T2 drones because you dont want to waste your hard earned isk on them just going awol and getting eaten.
Since Rev my drones are more random with their actions.. ie they either reluctantly shoot at the selected target or they neglect that target and choose another locked target..
I dont have much knowledge on how they are programned but surely someone up top can see the problems we are having? Just a pitty that a good backup tactic that drones should be seems just to be a random set of circumstances which may or may not work in your favour. I would ask nicely if this could be looked into but with all due respect i dont think its top of CCP's agendas.. anyways thats my little speech on drones over.. maybe something else will cross my mind later on

Comedy gold that the drones have been ****** up since years - more or less. The neglect is turning into sabotage and insult to all droneusers ffs :(
Oh my, the outcry if missiles would ve behaved anything close to this ****. Just imagine: a cruise altering or losing target midfligt or it even decides turning on the ship that launched it? Ouch...

I take back what I said earlier.. My dumb ass forgot to try again after the patch.. After fooling around with them in a plex full of rats they did exactly as told.. they still have issues with docking when they chase your ship though.. not as bad as before but still 1 or 2 left trailing.. So all in all post patch test has them working just dandy for me..

It woudl be nice if I could get them to go after the webbing scrambling frigate whiel my artillery shreds cruisers at range. But no they decide the cruiser at 30km is more important. Almost lost a ship in massive attack due to this crap.

almost lost my domi just now due to drones not returning...
Fighting a hyperion 1 v 1 was fine but a hyp/raven/bc... screw that... i decided docking was my best chance and turned everything off for the wait... but 3 of my drones wouldnt return NO MATTER WHAT... sadly with revelations out CCP is fawning over the carebears who whinge about wrecks and wont do a ******* thing to fix drones.
This is why i trained blasters.

Weighing in on the drone issue
if told to attack target..drones orbit but dont shoot
every time i shoot at a new target ..dones engage that target
drones randomly swap target for no reason
They dont work at all!
in lieu of an actuall fix for drones
please put them back how they were before revalations
untill such time as you actually can fix them.

If the drone AI is nonexistent or messed up, a simple HOTFIX could be: remove the drone signature resolution.
Also did the drones not get a hitpoint increase in Revelations...
and has the Dominix not gotten a drone damage rig, unlike the guns and missile boats.
My portrait's all crumbled to a !
Estimate: 2 more years, for CCP, to fix it. |

There is a hotfix for drones addressing changes to them in yesterdays patch coming in today's downtime. It ate our CPU and messed up drones. Let's talk after downtime.

I feel they are even worse then they were.
yesterday I was in my hurricane doing a l3 mission. had killed all big guys and having only arties i relied on drones to kill that last 4 friggies.. it was IMPOSSIBle to make all 5 of them fire at same frigate. When more than 2 were on same targets the others decided to go their own businnes into the other frigies (and the 2 alone could not brake its tank (angel webber). It ook me hellish 17 minutes to kill those 4 friggies.
Damm...

Wow.. must be a bit more broken for some it seems.. At least for me they would eventually do as commanded and not flip me off everytime..

Aw, don't say that. I mean I know its true, and have done since Sisi testing- but its so much better if I don't think about it..........

Ah good news Oveur. These poor little drones are such sad souls they need a bit of tlc from someone. I used to shoot one now and then just to remind them who's the boss, but now even that doesn't work. They still stop work and demand tea-breaks every 5 minutes.
Seriously thou, an enhanced AI interface would go a long way to improving thigs, as Caedices suggested above. Exercising greater control over how you want the drones to work would give you more room to concentrate on what you are doing.
Although where you fit this interface on the screen is a problem. With the way things now are its a bit cramped over on the right-hand side of the display.

They still go and do their own little thing 90 % of the time. Fun fun
i like it though.. when already at full targets and busy (mining) and rats spawn, i launch my drones, wait until the rats start shooting and then the drones take care . i like it
no need to change, i dont have issues with drones :-)

It isn't a hostile action directly. But if you assist someone who does something nasty while the drones support him, you get flagged and concordokken all along.
Most fun: Shoot the one supporting you in HiSec and watch Concord remove both ships from space.
It is been like that for a long time - unless someone changed the tech behind the aggro spreading system recently.

The cause for this is not yet known, but we do have a possible fix in testing.
