Scan Removal

[Ghobe]

DE, I have mixed feelings about this apparent unworthy of a footnote patch change. For those of you that don't know, once you've reached the maximum number of scans on a target type, it will no longer be picked up by the scanner or even be scannable(excluding the plants on earth).

 

Now my mixed feelings.

I loved the fact that I could scan things for a burst of exp on my low/unranked weapons/frames(stealth scanning heavy gunners so good <3), which can no longer be done. I understand that this is potentially an exploit, but the reward is so tiny in the big picture it's hardly worth 'fixing'. I can deal with this though.

I loved the fact that I could see enemies through walls. This was incredibly helpful the first run of Rescue 2.0. Now I can't do it anymore and I'm pretty much forced to play Banshee if I want this ability, and then I'm staring at the minimap the whole time. I get this helps the Sonar ability of Banshee but man I'll miss this on my other frames. I can deal with this though.

I loved the fact that I could see those damnable Earth threshcones and plants through the walls. I have no understanding as to why this was taken away other than it being an oversight. 12 scans is far from enough to actually learn all their locations. I can hardly deal with this. Please revert this change.

 

And for those of you out of the know, you still get rewards from using anti-toxins. Which I don't have a complete list of rewards but let's just say one of them makes it worthwhile ;)

 

P.S. I hate the day/night cycle. I always seem to be playing during the night cycles xD

If this is really the case..then I like that you cant scan prescanned things anymore...XP wise its not worth the time...and the Sentinel might finally stop scanning explosive barrels xD

Wut. Best thing I've got from Anti-toxins was a Detonite Injector. One. :I

 

Edit: And that was with a Vermilion antitoxin.

This fix was, in fact, done to make Helios useful.

 

However, it has also nerfed a pretty important stealth utility/finding secrets tool Tenno enjoyed using. I've brought it up in threads the Devs have peeked in before, but hopefully they'll fiddle with this. Maybe make fully scanned entities a light wireframe blue, and make vital 'scan me' targets stay as the bright orange glow?

I said this before in a topic, but maybe DE could make the enemies or objects with maximum scans obtained blue instead of orange in the scan view.

Either Natural Talent, a Neurode, or maybe SOEM NAHNO SPOERS.

I miss being able to see enemies through the walls, but I'm much more concerned with threshcones and plants atm.
