Test Server Feedback

Haven't tested this this week but last week, after the scanner runs and picks something up, clicking on one of the results (signature, anomaly, etc) does not pan the camera around.

Everywhere else you click (d-scan, overview, in space) pans the camera and points it to the selected object. Selecting a signature or anomaly should do the same thing.

Is this something that was left out on purpose?

I know that, just remind that for HAC and T3; it's not the same skill, some of my corpmate who spend time to skill t3s ship have now to skill an other ship, during this time, they have to let there best ship they have in station, and fly on a less competitive ship, causing a disadvantageous position against a HAC pilot .

So, they loosing time, they get less Isk during this period and have to spend ISK on other skill and ship.

CCP always said " if you can fly a ship, you still fly on it after an expansion" but you can't fly with in the same place as before.
so, I prefer to have a possibility of reattribute the skill points i spend in a ship, to skill a another ship, cause I still have the same goal, but can't continuing to fly the ship I skilled for in.

Why are we not able to resize or hide columns on the probe results tab? It's not very useful when the type column is so tiny that nothing but "Guristas" shows up unless I stretch the window across my entire monitor.

Why were the bonuses of those modules nerfed so harshly? How did I miss that?

50% nerf is uncalled for.

Look at items sold graph for t2 modules, 14 sold in 2 days in Jita.

Nobody wants those modules anymore when they are so crap.
Going from one extreme to another, where is the bloody middle ground.

Please...

Grinning like a madman.

It's not hard to hit the recall button, go buy more probes.

Sorry, but you don't know what you are talking about.

1) The modules for deviation still allow to peform 2-cycles scans from 8AU to 0.25AU.

2) The modules for scan strength almost allow to scan "unscannable" ships without using virtue implants.

They are still incredibly powerful, and before the changes their stats were simply crazy.

It was intentional on the part of CCP who are still on this blind rampage in favor of PvP whores.

There stated intention was to manipulate the game to FORCE players to interact more, oddly when they tried it by Nerfing Jump bridges in 0.0 it had the exact opposite effect.

Now your average ganker is whining about the fact that players 'Turtle' up in systems and they cannot get at them, so they clamor for Local to be removed so they can kill miners and ratters without the problems caused by them being seen coming, will not happen, players will just stop mining and ratting and CCP's destruction of 0.0 life will be completed.

Currently, apart from the intrepid and brave souls trying to gank other players, the vast majority of 0.0 space is utterly under utilized, Ice systems have there belts cleaned out in a couple of hours and are then deserted, Peeps still chase these mediocre mini games, but I can see that getting very boring very quickly for most, particularly when they find there ship blown away while engaged in that mad click fest a few times.

CCP control the content of the game and always have, but on the other hand have always been frustrated in there efforts to gently dumb it down because of the ingenuity of the players to make best use of whats available to continue as before, a reverse sandbox effect maybe at work here, In my opinion to avoid past mistakes, CCP has now chosen the shotgun method by crippling most aspects of the game down to the level of the average four years old to manage and in the process taken what was the essence of EVE away, it's complex nature was what made it worth playing.

Time will tell what effect this will have but for the most part nothing good will come of this thought process, flashy lights and silly games is not and was never what EVE was all about.

And how exactly is this being promoted when we are forced to launch the maximum number of probes and only in fixed formations?

When fixed formations were announced I expected them to be an option not mandatory.

That refers to the %-Bonus. 10% -> 5% per level

I have been exploring on TQ for a while now, just to get a feeling for the new system. here is my final opinion on the matter.

the new system does not deserve the name 'exploration'. here are some reasons why:
- there is no great unknown. the system scanner shows you what the system has to offer like the 'actress' in a cheap porno movie.
- everybody and their dog is doing it. there is hardly any system without a set of probes in it. it was bad before, now it's ludicrous.
- mistakes do not matter. sloppy play is not punished. there is literally no way to forget your probes. if you fail at hacking, you have at least one second try. you can drop probes while cloaked etc. etc.
- since it's easy and everyone is doing it, the income has become low and steady. the very opposite of what one would expect.

compare that to what the word 'exploration' actually means in real life. think of christopher columbus, vasco da gama, neil armstrong. the new system is a nice casual minigame to waste some time on. like angry birds or fruit ninja. but exploration it is not.
