Yo, CCP. Probing didn't encourage suicide enough?

So now, not only do we have to fight against the archaic interface for using probes, but you decided to make every single bookmark have a gigantic name tag over it when that stays consistent in size even when zooming out?

So now I've gota navigate probes not only through space, but gigantic vision impairing text bubbles.

Truly you are at the forefront of ingenuity. Please have whoever suggested this change brought out back and beaten with a stick.

Sincerely,
All of W-space and anyone with a brain.

Really?Lol It's like the guys making these changes have never lived outside highsec, so they have no clue how much they **** up the gameplay with their clever little ideas. Hope it gets hotfixed this week.

This is a derp by a dev, not the way they actually intended it to work.

Woops!! My bad. I seem to have accidentally the system map. I'm going to attempt to fix this issue ASAP and get it out.

The bubble hint is optional.... when it works that is. And that functionality is exactly what I broke.

QA is in the process of vetting the fix and we plan on getting this out tomorrow in a client update.

Sorry for the inconvenience

Good to know that it's not another feature and is getting a hotfixed before the holidays.

They'll fix it.

you know you can use the alt key to resize the patter of probes around the central point, and shift to move them all at once?

Interface isn't that bad, really.

Woo! CSM XI!

If you took maybe three minutes you would see the issue has been acknowledged in the dev notes and will be fixed. As for probing it works fine.

Instead we get another whine about exploration....

Yes, would you care to tell us how to center on any probe without their labels?

You can temporarily disable the bookmark icons from the map. However, the "You are here" pin remains.

Hey look, it's another eve player who thinks he's intelligent for bandwagoning a response based on old information which was released around the same time as the original post.

Don't let the alien abductors know that. Will be the preferred method used on you. Twisted

Agreed, though... those bubbles really sucked!
