This is a big nerf for solo pvp and pvp in general. Scouting is now really difficult and irritating. On top of that the message appears conveniently in the center of the screen, blocking some of the results and distracting the player.

I'm not sure who thought this was a good idea, but taking a vital ingame intel resource and nerfing it into near uselessness for the sake of some undefinable "performance benefits" is a singularly foolish idea.

Please reconsider this change. Multiple scans to find a target quickly are extremely important in pvp.

Then let us make assumptions and theorize.


You have two belts ahead of you, they are so nicely placed that you pick them both up on 60 degree.

Then you change your scanner to 15 degree and scan one belt, now you have to wait 2 seconds to scan the other.

Those 2 seconds means everything between that crappy belters escape or your epic win of landing a point on him.

*edit* Imagine if you have several more to scan.

Be quiet if you have no clue on how this crapped the game up.

That's nice Zeba... perhaps you are scanning down stationary objects? Ships that are not warping around? Keeping tabs on a mission runner? Scanning belts while in warp?

Or perhaps you are doing all these things, albeit badly.

I don't mind the 2 sec refresh rate on scanner. But having a window pop up with notification message is a very bad design decision

ok, I hate being a spammer, but I just remembered something important from my own experience:

I live in 0.0 and often times I try to scan down farmers at asteroid belts. The best way to do that is to warp to a planet with many belts around it, reduce your directional scanner angle to 15 degrees, and start point-checking 1-20 belts as quickly as possible.

The time it takes to scan 1 belt and aim for the next belt with a scanner is just under a second. 1 second tops. 2 seconds definitely creates noticeable lag when trying to scan 10~ belts. This mostly benefits the defender - the farmer.

But aside from extra benefit to farmer, the main problem here is the high level of annoyance this would create for everyone scanning belts. I'd say, this sacrifice is definitely not worth it any slight server performance improvements.

Before I was making hypothetical arguments, now it is personal.

Just as you say sir.

Also you can already begin scanning belts before you drop out of warp during deacceleration, things needs to happen fast, one can't begin to count how many times one has JUST managed to get a point, or JUST missed it by 0.1 seconds. The margins are ultra-small.

Those not annoyed/limited by this change, are simply not adequate in their scanning skills... no offense.

Maybe instead of hitting belts at fifteen, youll hit 4 or 5 at 60, then narrow it down? assuming 24 belts (good case scenario)

belt group 2 (belts 5-8) no hit
belt group 3 (belts 9-12) hit
belt 9 no hit
belt 10 no hit
belt 11 hit

So basically, your cutting 24 belts down to 6, and then 3 scans at most (if its not at the first 3, its either at the 4th or gone. dont waste your time waiting for scan.. )
24 scans becomes 9 or 10.

Even if it isnt so fairytale, you still get my point.. yes?

note, I havent actually done this often enough in practice, but the practice i have had this agrees with, and in theory it would work.

Here is the reason they nerfed it:

People who were decloaking after gate transit were showing up on scanner before they were showing up on overview. This was causing people to gain a lock before the target "showed up" and created a lot of sad people and a lot of petitions.

Personally I would love to see a video of someone constantly mashing the scan button five times a second while at 5 degrees and in that time moving from one tiny belt symbol to another with enough accuracy to keep everything inside the scan window.

Because that sounds like a terribly difficult thing to do in my opinion yet so many people are claiming that unless they are allowed to do that they can't play? Seems odd.

Sounds like a whole lot of people have had their Crutches taken away.

Originally by: Lord Makk

You have absolutely no idea on how bad you just jerked your game up.

The scanner is the hunters tool, the only last remaining tool in between useless masses blobs, bubbles and supersafe jump freighters.

With the scanner, a dedicated invidivual (like my ****ing self) can scan a systems belts, planets and other relevant items in less than 5-10 seconds and be on his way to a target found by scanner. This means scanning 10+ belts/pos/planets/gates/failuresinspaceships

Have you seriously not seen what this did?

I don't care if people use the scanner once per 30 seconds, I use the scanner 5 times in one second if I have to for achieving my goals and trust me, the scanner is the sole reason to why we have eyes on everything and can achieve epic wins.

As long as local channel is around in regular space, the scanner will be the most used tool, the tool wich is most relied upon and whats necessary to do anything else than fail miserably.

This 2 second bull**** is rubbish, again the game mechanic got ninjaed in the way of the failure, another un-intended thing favouring the massive failures everywhere with their bubble camps and failure skills.... "Point and Click Warriors" if you must... Eve is more than clicking buttons.

Fix the scanner, now. That is all you need to know. Find some other way to fix your crappy servers.

Just a thought..

Since the human mind would find it nearly impossible to know when EXACTLY 2 seconds have passed, its likely that you would either underestimate or over estimate.

In either case you will most probably be taking closer to 3 or even 4 seconds. Double this up again to consider the angle change your looking at more like 8 seconds per scan.

8 seconds per scan is considerably more than the "only 2 seconds" that it appears to be.

I would sincerely suggest to CCP that this is reduced to 1 second, or half a second. Because in reality, we are not androids, nor do we actually have implants, so in reality you would get your 2 seconds.

---

Originally by: Adunh Slavy

---

If your previous scanner skills were so reliant on not having a two second delay, then I'm afraid I can't have much sympathy. Button spamming is not a skill. Though also, do not like the way the fix has been implemented.

Instead of the pop up message, just use the little clock widget that already exists. I'm sure CCP can even make the clock widget red. Also, changing the degree should not invoke a new scan. Since the goal is to reduce lag/server requests, then overlooking this behavior of degree change invoking a scan is a no brainier duh. As a previous poster pointed out, this is likely part of an Unholy Rage response, those farmers probably kept the scanner on 360 and never changed the degree, so although silly to overlook it, the function call investigation mitigates the oversight, but not by much.

Yes this mechanic needs changing.

If its macro scan spammers that are the problem cant ccp just implement some logarithmic scale whereby after each scan the delay is scaled up. So say after each scan add a .05 second delay, and it gets reset after 30-60 seconds of no scanning? That would screw the macroers up who would simply not be able to spam scan but still be workable for scanning pilots/pirates?

As I said many times already, the natural progression of game design would mean a dynamic directional scanner. Nobody should NEED to keep mashing the Scan button. When things get "improved", it would work just like Overview - automatically update every 0.5 seconds. With that kind of progress, nerfing local would be much easier.

If your getting the message, it means your too early.. but how early were you? 1.9 seconds?.. you wait a moment, how long? so when you hit scan again its definatly going to have been MORE than 2 seconds since your last succesfull scan. How much more? 1 second, 2 seconds?

You successfully scanned, but does this mean you hit scan EXACTLY 2 seconds later, or is it more like 3 seconds or 4 seconds?
