Drones in Plague Star constantly glitch, freeze, and waste my time...

Why does nothing in this game work properly? 6 years in and this game performs like an alpha.. Spawn rates for infested enemies at boil are trash, Lephantis heads sometimes go 2 minutes without opening their mouths, and the KICKER of all is that AFTER you use your infested Phylaxis and Catalysts the drone will just simply freeze in place during the escort and you're FORCED to exit to Cetus and restart. Are you kidding!? I'd understand if it happened every once in a great while, and it didn't take too long to to get to the point where the drone freezes, but c'mon! This freeze is happening about every third try, and it wastes roughly 5-6 minutes of my time and 8 of the injections that aren't cheap to make BTW. This operation comes out maybe twice a year if we're lucky, so it's a real shame when it bugs out constantly since it's about the only end game fight worth looking forward to since the rewards in this game besides Plague Star are a TOTAL JOKE. Are you guys so stingy with rewards that you don't want to streamline this fight in order to throttle the only decent rewards you guys give out!? I can't believe I play this game expecting things to get better over time. Such a joke.. Oh and the Ghouls came out yesterday, and they were spawning in my game session on the morning before... After 2 years of POE being out, and 6 years for the full game, there's no excuse for simple gameplay mechanics to not function as intended. I'm disappointed.

For all that I agree that this issue is frustrating, don't take it out blindly. It's very far from being what it once was and that's undeniable.

As for the issue itself, yes, DE should have not rushed it. In fact not just that, they should have focused on it sooner, and been more diligent about it. Yet they're not fully to blame. You have "us" to thank for the bugs as well, per:

What was right? What was wrong? I can't really say since it's subjective. But Plague Star as is it's still quite good for what I expected. Best luck anyhow!

its not just a plague star issue the drones have been getting stuck on bountys in plains of eildelon as long as i can remember its extremely annoying and waste of my time

Yes but now it seems to happen 4 out of 5 times, before it was once in a while, now its almost as you know its going to happen, its pointless doing bounties at the moment

Yeah, your best bet is to bring Loki to every bounty and especially Plague Star event (since you can actually lose stuff because of stuck drone) and just Switch Teleport the drone around.

Hopefully they will fix the Drone pathing soon...

Also yeah, spawn rates of infested are so inconsistent. I noticed that they spawn MUCH less at night. You actually have to be careful not to touch their spawn pods that occasionally drop, otherwise you can literally spend like 5-10 minutes waiting for enough infested to spawn for progression bar to fill. It's pretty annoying. During daytime the spawns seemed pretty good for the most part.

Elytron's 4 helps also. 

You can't just teleport around the plains with your Itzal anymore, but maybe better than always bringing a Loki.
