Ok need help desperately !!!

I don't know what those guys at CCP did to scanning today but as !!!! 3 years old player who deployes probes and scans pretty well every single day!!!!! I cannot do anything now. After deploying probes i go to map - of course old one as i utterly hate new one in beta version or not. What i was doing then was seting up my probes, adjusting postitioning and scan range and of course easily scanning down anything i wanted in very short time.

WHAT IS NOW IS TOTAL JOKE.

Can't move probe, can't change scan range, can't see sphere around probe to predict possible scanning results like before. Basically EVERYTHING , every single scanning feature has been removed from my UI.

Not only that ! There was no real warning that such disaster is incoming. No tips no hints how to operate in this new ****** system.


What now ? After 3 years of succesful probing i have to do tuturial again ?! Really !?

Yes it's rant ... i was doing scanning before - now im shutdown.

Please tell me how to scan ... i beg ...

er...its been available on the test server, has it not?

Trying it out now. Seems similar, just have to press 'shift' once to get the arrows up to move probes as a group (dont hold shift, just press and release and arrows appear...)

I cannot sit on test serwer all the time - and why they just can't leave something that was working perfectly for everyone.

I still ask for help please tell me how to scan now :< !

Well, if you can't be bothered to go to the test server when a new feature is announced and actually learn how to do it, I'm afraid I don't have time to 'tell' you how to do it. Stop whining and go learn...

EDIT: I just figured out how to do it in like, 30 seconds of messing around. And I don't use the scanner that often.

I'm afraid i'm not best tester but someone who plex this game to play it. If they don't bother to leave working features alone and replace it with total bullshit then ... i have no words.

Maybe i should stop plexing and everyone else who doesn't have time to sit in TEST servers and wants to play game instead ? ! Yeah -90% subs.

You'd have to scan it down, I'd wager.

I'm told by whiny, self-entitled scrubs that scanning is now impossible. I guess nobody will have his stuff.

Actually, there is a check box in the 'general' settings that allows you to use the old scanning method and the old map.

Perhaps if you took your sunglasses off you would see it...

You should look around at the new features in future to reduce the opportunities we have for demonstrating your sense of entitlement and resistance to change. Darwinism is truly proved wrong by posts like yours...

I near birthed Kittens when I logged in after the patch and had a look at the scanning.
Rather than come running to the forums bleating and whining about it, I merely checked the options and then just disabled the new features.

As good as new :)

I have to say that the new scanning window and map are ..... er, crap. Sorry but no other word for it. I hate the new style star map as well (that was introduced some time ago), so I was glad to see I could still revert to the old scanner window and the solar system map I am used to. I wont use the new style star map either.

Sorry devs but this time the upgrades are a step backwards.

Was faced with a new system I was unfamiliar with. . . . The prospect of expending effort to relearn something I had already known, didn't need to have changed was momentarily paralyzing.

Then I took about 4 seconds and took a second to think about what I was looking at, EXPLORED the menus a bit, and found everything I needed to know.

Great change, feels alot smoother.

*edit*

I'd suggest making it so hitting ENTER with the focus on the map be what initiates the scan.

Like if I'm going to move my mouse from the map screen to the probe scanner screen, I'm just going to click the scan button while selecting the probe screen, completely removing the need to then hit ENTER which is just an extra step.

Haven't even looked at the new version yet myself, just wanted to point out that just because the option is still there now to use the old version, it doesn't mean it will stay there forever.

There should be an official feedback thread somewhere around here. If you have issue with the new system or if you like it, I'd recommend you head over to the appropriate thread and let your opinion be known there.

I checked use the old settings.....and it didn't.
I got a new WH in the home system and can't scan it because it defaults to multiple items in the sky when I specifically said only this one. There are at least three, maybe more, sigs showing,OMG how about releasing when tested instead of when scheduled.
Nothing should ever be released until the easily found (hint hint) "HOW TO..." file is completed that says in simple language how to perform the new magic trick. Something us knuckle draggers can understand., "Do this, then do this, then do this...."
The fact one person can intuitively understand how to do **** does not mean 100,000 other people can pick it up.

You have to forgive the eve idiot savants and autistic types - they feel because they "live eve" and have nothing better to do then beta test CCP's pointless changes on the test server that everybody should do the same.

I don't play, I just fourm warrior.
