Accessing Golem island for solo play is literally one value that needs to be changed in the code to disable the drone swarm. Now, admittedly, it might take a tiny bit more than that to do it properly, but let's face it, it has to be a fairly low effort job.
Yet months and weeks after the community has asked for access, including a direct request by Delta, it's still unavailable. Why?
Are they some how unaware? Indifferent? Unable? Don't feel it's appropriate? What is it?
Of course, we can speculate all day long, but why don't they either make it available, explain that they are working on it, or explain why they refuse to do it?

What's really weird with it, is it's not like any other instanced raid/dungeon in any other MMO RPG I've every played. The island is populated outside of the raid instance. Most other games, if you can bug/glitch your way inside of a raid or dungeon they are barren, no enemies, no bosses, no loot... Golem island is covered with Sammy and Wolves outside of the instance.
It really is as simple as turning off the drone swarm, and removing or load up the non-raid crates around the island.

Yeah, there's plenty to do there, the enemies are tough, and the various sites are interesting, and the terrain is rendered in top notch fashion like the rest of the islands. There's no good reason I can think of for continuing to make this inaccessible.Originally Posted by CrockfordCK Go to original post

Could it be a misinterpretation of the request?
The community is asking to be able to explore the island solo, but perhaps Ubisoft is interpreting this as we want to play the Raid solo. Knowing it's impossible to complete the Raid without completely redesigning the Raid bosses (because the bosses require 4 players to defeat them), Ubisoft have simply not addressed the issue due to this misunderstanding.

It could be, I guess... but from what I recall, the many threads here and AIBlueFox's report to the dev team were all very clear. No one wants to play the Raid. We all just want to explore the island.Originally Posted by Icetyger4 Go to original post

Truer words have never been spoken. The 2nd island is there under the clouds east of the main island and the best guess is, it was intended to be the location of the 2nd Raid. It would totally suck if Ubisoft don't ever use the island for something.Originally Posted by Steven527 Go to original post

it only requires the disabling of the stupid drone swarm, and this would not hurt the raid as you would still have to do it from the same place to begin the mission.
the only reason the drone swarm is there is to stop solo players visiting the island..which is the definition of being mean.
would be acceptable if there were no AI roaming about outside of online play and no loot boxes as that would make going there boring.
