Hmmm, and the range seems to have been increased or something, which has totally changed it's AI (in a bad way), which was quite keen before, especially since Devices has Cloaking Device and Smoke Grenade in it.
Really, change it back.
The auto-turret enemies are having the same behavior (not surprisingly). Is there a plan to fix this in an upcoming patch?
I'm right there with you, Phineas. I've bugged this several times now and did one live report the first time I noticed it. This has been going on for THREE MONTHS now. What gives? I wasn't having any problem summoning drones in the air, either.
What I'm noticing is that the only time the drones work as they're supposed to is out of doors. Inside instanced missions, however, the drones don't follow AT ALL, and rarely attack when I summon them in mob range. Mostly, they aimlessly float in a circle and do nothing.
Also, if I do summon one right on top of a mob, if it's in an area with multiple levels, the drone will fly up and start randomly attacking an upstairs mob. Once in a while, one will shake free and zoom after me, but if it does, it doesn't attack a mob, and it destructs shortly thereafter.
Lloyd's response to my initial report was to dismiss and resummon the drone, but, hello? It recharges quickly, but not so quickly I can possibly summon it for each and every mob. And yes, the lack of following is THAT bad. Today, we were running Night Ward missions. I made the mistake of summoning a drone at the entrance of one of the larger rooms. It stayed there in the doorway the entire time we took down the mob, and yet it was just barely out of strike range. Arrrgggh!
This is a T-9 power, devs! Please, when will this be fixed? It's as bad as a troller's T-9 pet failing to work -- worse, because we have no way of holding and/or debuffing what's attacking us. This is making my main unsoloable except on the utter weakest of settings (and even that's a struggle) and a definite weak sister on teams where once, she was good muscle. Not only that, but I'm getting clobbered far more often, even though I stay back, because the drones used to act as an additional buffer for attacks.
Please, I beg you, give us back our working drones ASAP!
