I wonder how high the series of issues in Dronelands are on their to-do list. What could be higher?

There is a problem in general with some Exploration sites and it's not limited to the new regions. We have a team working on it.
There is also a problem in general with some Asteroid sites and it's limited to the new regions. You should have a team working on it.

Thank you very much and have a nice day.

Hello again, just returned from my summer vacation and much to my dismay this topic seems to have grown some 8 pages

Like some of you might know I was working on some of the issues here and I'm glad to see they aren't popping up (as far as I can see). However, if there are still issues I'll give you the same advice as I've given people who approached me in local as I was looking at things:

Start a new topic. Make it on one single topic. Dont go all over the map.

There's just too much of everything in this topic and no focus. Pick what bothers you the most. Make a new topic with the subject something in the direction of: [Drone Regions: Mesocricetus Auratus causing masticating deterioration in power core, please fix!] where the subject depicts your favourite wrong doing. As long as that topic stays on topic we can see how many people actualy agree with you and that puts alot more pressure on that topic than 38 pages of everything between the heavens and the earth. It's also quite scary to reply to these topics as there is no way you can cover every subject that has been raised so somebody will always feel shafted.

Ofcourse you can also go on and post here if you want to keep the thread alive. It will definetly show for how long this issue has been going on but it's not going to facilitate it's resolution in the same manner as a concise campaign is. Now, please refrain from misunderstanding this as some veiled threat, insult or as a promise that everything will be alright as soon as those topics are made. I'm just offering a suggestion on how we can make this easier for everybody.

At any rate, I'm signing out of this topic. It's been fun to be helpful and actualy see the labours of my work turn some frowns upside-down but now I must turn my attention elsewhere. The current (I think they're the current ones) complaints are not really in my ballpark and I dont know what, other than respawns and asteroids, has been fixed and I'm not re-inventing the wheel (although it could do with some more pew pew).

Untill we meet again,
~ PrismX

You as a demanding customer could show some initiative instead of talking about vague issues that exist in this monster thread, how bout compiling all the issues brought up in this thread and mark the ones that have been fixed and the ones that havent been?

Then start a new thread with that compiled list, get more feedback and hope for more success.

As a independant developer I have experienced the nightmare of players making demands that something should be fixed while at the same time they only talk in general terms about a feature set, this makes it almost impossible for me as a developer to get a concrete idea what exactly is wrong, or infact if there is something wrong (people sometimes simply dont agree with your game desing choices).

only my 0.1 isk.

Right, promising to not post again in any topic is always a surefire way to do just that.

Just to get a few things straight. I'm not trying to hide anything. I very consciously stated that you can keep posting here to show how long this has been broken. I wasn't saying it to be funny, I was saying it to avoid accusations of trying to silence the matter, because I dont believe going down that road is going to help anyone.

I decided to make the new regions my pet project mainly due to a couple of players who I talked to while I was surveying them. They were extremely polite and concise in their points. It wasn't untill I met those players when I started piecing together what the general consensus was (that and reading this topic over and over again) concerning the asteroids (ofcourse general would be the majority, not everyone). I'm not pulling your leg when I say that the lack of focus in this topic is detrimental to fixing these issues. I'm not saying it wont happen if you dont create new topics either, it's a suggestion to "Help us help you". If you think that is unnacceptable then it is your opinion and I'm not going to argue that, post here if you desire.

Now, In the asteroid topic I've given a short answer on the state of affairs. I also see that it's not a very hot topic which tells me that the asteroids aren't the main issue anymore (although things will never be considered perfect). The exploration topic on the other hand is rather hot but I dont know much about the technicalities behind that, so I asked Greyscale to give you some info, which he did to the best of his ability and made people who are keenly interested in exploration happy. Any other issues haven't come up so I can only assume it's only those two issues.

This is also not just for our sake. Some players might not care to read through 2 pages of something they do not consider broken to find the single post about exploration which they consider broken. I'm just advocating focus and organization, not trying to silence you. Please, take my advice as just that, an advice rather than an order or some manipulative way of diverting your attention. You don't need to follow it. If I wanted to silence this I'd have locked the topic and possibly created new ones myself. I'm just trying to sort things out in the fastest manner possible.

So, post here if that is your preference. Post here and in the new topics if you want to do best of both worlds. I'll continue ghosting this topic, I doubt I'll post here again though as the asteroids are working as intended and the respawn rate has been fixed. If I see much activity in one topic and I can't give you good enough answers I'll try and find a Dev for you which can give you answers (and I'll see activity alot more easily if subjects have dedicated topics, mind you). If at any point something arises which I can look into personaly, I'll do that at the first opportunity. That is, if you want me to. If you've come to regard me as some manipulative marketing genius trying to silence the subject as I stand to gain something from it.. then I don't think I've got much to offer anymore.

At any rate, I'd like to thank everyone who were ready to help me locate the source of the respawn problem and willing to take time to explain their ideas on the asteroid problem. It truly was fun to interact with the community to get things fixed.
