markolna Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 How can you play this mod as a lonewolf when drones sprawn every 5 mins above you.Am just saying you cant camp an area to looking out or try to take someone out from distance, without a bloody drone sprawn above you all the time its just unplayable for a lonewolf to play this mod now.....

DayZ Vet Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Yeah i hate them things group playing or on my own. it's hard to find a server with them disabled as server pwners dont put it in there server name bar. if they did they would get alot more players as almost everyone i've ever spoken to about it hates them to.

TheHermit Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 I don't hate them, I only wish they gave me more time to take em down. usually I am preoccupied with something else until I get my bearings, I'm already down without cover. If you're ready for them, they can be quite easy, they move slow enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're ready for them, they can be quite easy, they move slow enough. it's not that there hard. they have just been done wrong. i hate how they sit right above ya so you can aim up and shoot them. or soon as you hear a drone and go to shoot it and you find out the hard way that they swarmed right behind ya giving ya no chance. that's just the two main things i think are wrong with them. but you can find in other threads about this and see all the reasons players dont like the way they work.

fruitini Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 I play on the number 1 epoch server in the world they don't have them enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DayZ Vet Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 I play on the number 1 epoch server in the world they don't have them enabled. Did you base that by gametracker? be handy if owners that have turned them off put it in the server name bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyDogs Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 I play on MGT and they don't have drones. Not long ago they didn't have any sappers either, but sadly they've brought them back in. Drones wouldn't be too bad if they didn't spawn in the AI. If they just spied on you giving away your presence like the zombies did in A2 Epoch, then I'd be supportive of their presence in Epoch.

Axle Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 I do agree that they are a bit much and will be corrected in the next patch. That being said I'm a major lone wolf and have had little issue with drones. Just shoot them before they call the AI. Simple pimple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruitini Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Problem is axle on a busy server you will end up giving yourself away and die. markolna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axle Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 I know fruitini, like I said they are being lowered next patch. Working on balance is something that takes time and feedback. So thank you for posting. Nic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DayZ Vet Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 I dont think drones are the only problem, i had 16 friends to play with on A2 epoch and A3 epoch when it first came out. now none of them play epoch anymore. only A2 epoch :o i'm still flying the A3 epoch flag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many have come and gone. But yet the dev's are still here. These poor bastard's are still hard at it pushing content, update's and patches. Like A2 Epoch I waited patiently and was pleasantly surprised. I feel this will be no different. Ghostrider-GRG, DayZ Vet and BFranek 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cring0 Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 One of the problems is that they spawn in and move right to the player, right over them completely giving them away instantly. If they gave more distance from the player and could patrol for any players nearby, not just the one that triggered it, it would be golden imo. I still think they should be lowered a bit too. They shouldn't be that hard to take out, let alone impossible since they're too high above your head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHermit Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Funny, yesterday, I was having a lot of trouble at a trader, sapper after sapper, as a bit of noob I was fumbling around trying to kill these things. However the 2 drones, were easy. The 1st I one shot with an SR25, the other cam close enough for me to spray it. But oh man did they up the antagonists, I did not have time to drink a cup of friggin water out there lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySanchez Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Yes with the 0.3 update some servers were almost forced to find how to remove the antagonists. This was a performance issue that we were correcting, but are patiently awaiting the devs fixes so we can utilize them boss sapper and hovering cloakers I personally didn't want to disrespect the mod by naming my server epoch antagonists removed. so maybe other owners felt the same way I do.

1Man Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Well I know when in a ghillie and laying down they flew around me but never give away my position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cring0 Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Well I know when in a ghillie and laying down they flew around me but never give away my position Well the way they seem to work is that they spawn in away from you and move to the location where you were when they were triggered. They don't seem to necessarily find you right away, especially if you move away from the spot where you triggered them. At least that's how they've seemed to me.
