Please someone tell me, Maybe it is just me.

Since crucible has launched I am finding it impossible to pinpoint any signatures.

I'm using a buzzard with scanning rigs and sisters gear. I also have good scanning skills.

Before the patch I could pinpoint anything in about a minute or two without breaking a sweat...

Now though I haven't been able to pin point anything at all since the expansion.

Have there been changes that I am being ignorant of to the scanning system?

Cheers,

CCP did an illogical change to filters. You have to edit your "Cosmic Signature" filter and now instead select all 5 individual cosmic signature types in it's category. OTHERWISE when you scan a Cosmic Signature, it'll disappear once you get it down enough to see it's type.

Of course the illogical part is you can't tell if your filter ignores the sig or you totally ******* miss the sig with probes.

The intention of these filters are good, however CCP proved again, that they don't play their game or even test.

Scanning down things which worked well before crucible now makes you think you've gone insane or something really fishy is going on if the signatures just disappear. I started to use Show All with core probes, ignoring the combats in the first place. I don't trust these filters even after selecting all of them.

Come on CCP, can't be too difficult to show filtered signatures with a different color, transparancy set to 50% and a different symbol.
