Jaikar Isillia	Posted - 2007.05.12 10:20:00 - [1] Thats excellent news. However I'm wondering if this 'fix' is going to be just fixing the mining and exploration or will it be making the ratting more worth while? The rats aren't very exciting compared to the rest of 0.0 Anyways it's good to see that the regions are finally getting looked at. ~~ Jai ~~
Jaikar Isillia	Posted - 2007.05.22 08:49:00 - [2] Be nice to get an update. Shameless bump.
Jaikar Isillia	Posted - 2007.05.27 08:00:00 - [3] Yeah I just keep waiting and waiting. I also agree on having the rats drop modules. The compound takes up heaps of cargo bay, no bounties, and the corp refiner has a lot of work to do heh.
Jaikar Isillia	Posted - 2007.05.27 08:35:00 - [4] Originally by: ghosttr Originally by: Merina Taom So as many people have asked, will this be fixed before revelations 2 or do we have to wait?? Well the previous quot of 2 weeks should have been before Rev 2. But now i think they are just bull**ting us CCP bull** there client base??.... unheard of :P
Jaikar Isillia	Posted - 2007.05.29 11:32:00 - [5] Originally by: Intel Cylon I have this feeling that the drone regions will be fixed at once when BoB arrives to the neighborhood I lol'd.
Jaikar Isillia The Vinlanders Dark Matter Coalition	Posted - 2007.06.02 04:22:00 - [6] I think this must be one of the rare occasions that crying on the forums hasn't helped :( We're not asking for much just to raise the drone regions to the level of other 0.0 regions.
Jaikar Isillia The Vinlanders Dark Matter Coalition	Posted - 2007.06.03 02:50:00 - [7] Originally by: ghosttr The day bob takes over eve is the day i (and probably many, many others)will close my account Imperialism's a ***** ain't it :D On the topic at hand I really hope we get some love in Rev2 or I am likely to cry.
Jaikar Isillia The Vinlanders Dark Matter Coalition	Posted - 2007.06.07 11:04:00 - [8] If Rev2 doesn't truly fix the problems or only 1/2 asses it there will be a riot in these forums. As far as I can see we have all been civilized posting in the one thread giving constructive criticism and have only received empty promises and vague time frames. The reason I'm complaining is that I know CCP can do a lot better and it disappoints me to see that no tangible effort has been made for loyal customers.
Jaikar Isillia The Vinlanders Dark Matter Coalition	Posted - 2007.06.10 09:04:00 - [9] Is it worth bumping anymore?
Jaikar Isillia The Vinlanders Dark Matter Coalition	Posted - 2007.06.15 07:50:00 - [10] Originally by: BluPh A quick glimpse to the rev2 patch notes reveal some special patches for the drone regions, but: Plush compound now yields significant amount of tritanium and a decent amount of pyrite. The amount of zydrine has been reduced. and Opulent Compound has had its drop chance reduced on Rogue Drones battleships. Even more cutting our way (even if it's poor) of income... hope the patched things will work as intended or we're doomed Oh great with a buff comes a nerf. Thanks CCP.

Jaikar Isillia The Vinlanders Dark Matter Coalition	Posted - 2007.06.21 11:29:00 - [11] I did a escalating encounter with my corp yesterday killed around 30-35 BS loot was unimpressive, no commander spawned. But hey I'm used to getting the raw end of the stick. So then I decide ok lets go back to what I know what has kept me out of poverty belt ratting! Oh but Jai the rats don't spawn in belts anymore they've come to see that living in belts was hazardous to their health and have thus decided to hang around some gates and perhaps even chill out at some planets. I think it's the height of inequity that people are earning millions doing missions in empire, concord looking over there shoulder, getting loyalty points to get phat loot. Meanwhile IN 0.0 IT TAKES ME 45 MINS TO FIND A RAT. Now is it cynical of me to have the sense that we're not going to see a dev reply on the non-existent belt rats for a long long time? Thats all you can be about the drone regions, cynical. However the only good thing that has happened this week is I won big lottery on Tuesday so I can sit around like Jabba The Hutt and laugh deeply at my corp mates who are flying around in all but in name 1.0 systems. Jai out.
Jaikar Isillia The Vinlanders Dark Matter Coalition	Posted - 2007.06.21 12:32:00 - [12] Originally by: Wilguma I have come to the following conclusion about the drone regions: Now that Bob and MC are done with the north for the most part they are starting to plan ahead for the drone regions. So what has happened is a Bob CCP dev has snuck a piece of code into the last patch making the new regions a easy target. No more income from ratting due to the lack of rats respawning, no more ice to fuel poses(ok so they might have fixed this one), and ratters who should not be mining trying to mine in thier battleships. Any edge you guys can get huh? There's a BoB conspiracy in everything :P
Jaikar Isillia The Vinlanders Dark Matter Coalition	Posted - 2007.06.21 13:17:00 - [13] Originally by: Dingus Rx Originally by: CCP Prism X About the rats in these regions: I didn't touch them. OK, who did? Please enlighten the people in the 27 pages of this thread. Dingus Out Oh that would imply that somebody has to take personal responsibility for somehow breaking the rat spawns. Let's make it simple. Lets just delete all the rogue drones and put Guristas and Angels in! Yay problem solved for all. Miners have roids. Ratters have rats worth killing. YAY YAY Jai is a genious.
Jaikar Isillia The Vinlanders Dark Matter Coalition	Posted - 2007.06.22 01:36:00 - [14] Things I'm noticing. Rats on the gates are spawning in around 5 seconds after I jump in/warp in. found a couple of rats after DT then they didn't bother respawning. If I was to take a punt I'd say some changes have been made to the triggers of the rats spawning. This must have something to do with the roids and the distances between the warp in beacon and the actual roids. Because pre patch we were warping in on the majority of a belt within around 20km at the start, now we're atleast 70-80km from them. Would be nice for a dev update.
Jaikar Isillia The Vinlanders Dark Matter Coalition	Posted - 2007.06.22 03:35:00 - [15] Originally by: Bubble Jet /signed Where's an update from CCP on this? They're too busy defending EVETV. At least the drone regions can be salvaged if someone gave a damn. EVETV lol.
Jaikar Isillia The Vinlanders Dark Matter Coalition	Posted - 2007.06.22 04:37:00 - [16] Originally by: Bubble Jet Originally by: Cipher7 The drone regions suck, ratting there feels too much like mining. The problem is now ratting is mining. Because the rats only spawn if you hit a roid with mining lasers. See what I did there? Icwatudidthere
Jaikar Isillia The Vinlanders Dark Matter Coalition	Posted - 2007.06.22 08:51:00 - [17] Originally by: Karanth Frankly, I don't give a damn about all the people saying "OMG if it sucks move!!1" Where should we move? I hear lots of suggestions on moving, but I don't see any offers to trade places. Even regions like Pure Blind, which anyone with a brain will admit, are a fetid hole, have: Working rats Working belts Working loot I can visit any other area, get some bounties, some phat lewt, maybe some faction mods (either for huge profit or e-peen). Here, I get.... Minerals. At least the other regions have the option of refining the loot to minerals. You know what it's like to have to depend on EVERY SINGLE THING you use being built or shipped in!? Some things like trade goods for POSes, it's unavoidable, but we need to IMPORT T1 AND NAMED ITEMS. Boosted trit and pyerite will alleviate some of the issues with t1, but in the end, give 2 people 12 hours to rat, loot, and build a ship with the mods, one in any other area, and one here, and even if we allow the drone region dude to make his own stuff from the mins, his ship will be inferior, his profit from what he killed will be lower, and he needs skills and blueprints to do it. All so that some muppet with a tenth of the skills can cruise belts, pwn for bounties, and get fancy toys? I've logged in 2-3 times today to ask in alliance if the rats were spawning properly. All to a resound 'No' so off I go to play other games. As I said in a post above, CCP should just bite the bullet get rid of rogue drones and put in guristas and angels since despite having 8 months to develop and implement a solution I'm frankly sick of the inequity of the drone regions compared to other regions. Fixed? pff, Now I know how my cat felt when he got 'fixed'.
Jaikar Isillia The Vinlanders Dark Matter Coalition	Posted - 2007.06.22 13:03:00 - [18] Originally by: Sabian Treehugger Originally by: Karanth Hmm, when was the last time this thread got a cleaning? Proper spelling, and not evading the profanity filters, not to mention a dash of sarcasm, does wonders. You can't blame them ,they just found out eve-online is not for them eve-online is for BOB la la la.... Curzon youre the man hahah QFT.
Jaikar Isillia The Vinlanders Dark Matter Coalition	Posted - 2007.06.23 01:58:00 - [19] At least the problem on the rats has been acknowledged. I did a little ratting after DT last night, I found 6 spawns out of the 40 belt system. Also I heard somewhere that if you get a mining drone it spawns the rats as well.
Jaikar Isillia The Vinlanders Dark Matter Coalition	Posted - 2007.06.23 14:17:00 - [20] Miner I on my dominix... never thought I'd see the day. We've given ample info to CCP for them to identify the problem. Hurry up and fix it.

Jaikar Isillia The Vinlanders Dark Matter Coalition	Posted - 2007.06.24 03:03:00 - [21] Edited by: Jaikar Isillia on 24/06/2007 03:05:23 Originally by: Iyanah Originally by: Adoro Some mates of me went there recently and they keep telling me: "OMG!!!11oneone!!! ISK ISK ISK!!!!111ONE!!!ELEVENTEEN!!!!111one" You get the idea...the alloys are worth alot they keep telling me. So why is it not profitable? No loot, ok....but the alloys... indeed, i mean, who needs to have the ores propperly fixed when your rats are flying sacks of ore, possibly with the words "Phat Lewtz" printed on their hulls. also, no static complexes? uh, you are aware that NOONE has static complexes now. we had a 10/10 in one of our systems, well not anymore, it's randomly floating about the whole constellation or region now i believe. bouncy rats: ok, it's a little weird, but i've seen it happen all over. usually they realise they're acting odd and come back after a couple of 100km. also, haulers?? when have you EVER seen a rogue drone hauler? EVER? there's a reason they don't spawn: they don't exist. they don't need to exist. honestly, when was the last time you saw a rogue drone hauling is wares into Jita 4-4 station? no? didn't think so. there's a reason sanshas and angels have haulers: they're representing human factions. rogue drones don't have traders, they don't mine as such, they're like ants or worker bees, they're basicly big metal bugs. you don't like things in the drone regions? then don't live there, move to another region you do like. i hear D2 just vacated a significant area... of course, you might have BoB issues if you try and move into their recently "liberated" systems, but that's your call - no bounties on your rats, and a bunch of whines about trivial things, or titans parking where the sun don't shine. I kindly invite you to close your mouth when your entire grasp on the subject at hand is hearsay at best. We aren't arguing trivialities like you seem to be assuming with such a condescending and facetious tone. The recent outbreak of unrest is linked to the Rev2 patch which has further broken the exploration and ratting. The anger is forged from the lack of communication from the Dev team in the past and the seemingly unwillingness to give the slightest bit of attention to the problems drone residents are faced with until recently. For your information the current problem with ratting is the rats are not spawning correctly in the belts, to have a chance of a rat spawning you must first allow a mining laser or a drone to complete a cycle on a roid then the rats have a chance of spawning. If this is not 'broken' I do not see what is. In fact, I invite you to spend a week up in the drone regions so you can further consolidate your preconceived opinions of grandeur and riches. And if you do not have the capacity to tell, yes, I am being sarcastic. Edit: I do realize your post is outdated on the current problems of the drone regions and is dealing with the inequity of the drone region in comparison and not so much the bugged and broken side of it.
Jaikar Isillia The Vinlanders Dark Matter Coalition	Posted - 2007.06.24 03:22:00 - [22] Edited by: Jaikar Isillia on 24/06/2007 03:21:14 Ghost pretty much sums it up.
Jaikar Isillia The Vinlanders Dark Matter Coalition	Posted - 2007.06.24 10:45:00 - [23] Originally by: ghosttr We have yet to hear **** regarding our b0rked exploration/escalation sites. We have gotten a response to our rat problems, but CCP is just ignoring the problems with exploration Yeah, I wouldn't get hopeful on the exploration. Something has to be broken at all times otherwise the drone regions wouldn't be .. the drone regions. Monday better mean the fixing of the rats or I'm gonna scream.
Jaikar Isillia The Vinlanders Dark Matter Coalition	Posted - 2007.06.24 12:04:00 - [24] Originally by: Kw4h Edited by: Kw4h on 24/06/2007 11:55:46 Any updates on the spawn issue? :) edit: woah a spawn at a belt just after DT :D Yes but after you finish killing, it will vanish and not respawn without mining laser trick.
Jaikar Isillia The Vinlanders Dark Matter Coalition	Posted - 2007.06.25 02:49:00 - [25] Originally by: CCP Chronotis I cannot comment on the 'distance' issues as that is not my area as I am no programmer, but sounds like it would not be exclusive to rogue drones in my opinion despite their recent tenacity to wander of from asteroid belts and only return when someone tries to steal their ore. Regarding the wandering drones, we are working on the issue and the help we have had from many players who have been reporting the NPC behaviour patterns has been greatly appreciated. His problems are client bugs I've experienced before. Fixed by relogging. I'm glad to see that a fix for the spawning of the drones is being worked on.
Jaikar Isillia The Vinlanders Dark Matter Coalition	Posted - 2007.06.25 06:07:00 - [26] It's somewhat amusing that problems with mission running not giving reputation was fixed in a day yet it's been almost a week of broken drone rat spawns and forever we wait.
Jaikar Isillia The Vinlanders Dark Matter Coalition	Posted - 2007.06.25 14:55:00 - [27] Originally by: Bubble Jet So..its after downtime on Monday, and the spawns are still not fixed. Empty belt after empty belt. Just fine for me.
