What is wrong with the new Deep Scan Missions??

[Zero]

Why, and i mean WHY do you have too add something that requires you too listen for a specific sound to complete a mission?. The finding the crystal seeds missions need a rework. My gosh, the drill elevator is cool and fun, but having to find the dang seeds before hand IS TRASH. And by the time you get too the drill elevator ITS NOT FUN ANYMORE.

the game is amazing but i cant even complete these deep scan missions. please fix, or atleast take them off the promotion missions, i mean come on, these finding seeds is a waste of time in its current state. i BARELY quit missions, even on hazard 5, but this is the most times i have had too quit missions, BECAUSE ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO DO!

please fix deep scan mission before people uninstall the game forever.

please dont make us have to LISTEN to complete a mission, let us listen to our music in peace.

Just use the visual indicator on the UI?

You don't actually need to listen for them lol.

Not sure why you're having so much trouble finding them but it's actually pretty easy.

When the visual bar is constantly touching the right side, you are directly on top of the crystal.
That's all you really need to look out for.

As Chibbity said, you don't have to listen for them. I've found plenty of them and never heard this sound they supposedly make. I had no idea they made a sound until I saw it mentioned in the forum. I haven't bothered trying to figure out why I can't hear it, because I don't need it.

Just watch the bar, and the icon at the end (up arrow if it's above you, down if it's below, and a square if it's on approximately the same level).

But, those crystals aside, it's generally a good idea to be listening to the game, so you can hear threats coming. But if you're OK without that warning, enjoy your music.

i watch the bar, and for some reason (maybe its just for me) even though the bar is all the way and pinging like crazy and im on the right plain where it dose not have up or down arrow, i dig 50 homes and nothing then it goes back to a lower bar after a bit.

^^ but this is about 60 percent of the time. sometimes it works other times it dose not. it got too pointless i am just not playing now. thats good to know the listening part is apparently not required though, but i dont get why the thing works sometimes and other times when it says im right on top of it there is nothing. i mean i dont think i am missing anything. bar pings like cray and no up or down arrow, dig hole crystal should be there right? not for me more than half the time lol

Do you also have the square icon at the end (indicating that the crystal is on approximately the same level as you, and not above or below)?

Are you playing solo or with others?

Does the bar drop when you move, or while you're still in the same spot?

Of course it's normal for the bar to drop if you're moving and getting farther away. If you're not moving and it drops, but you're playing with others, maybe someone else dug out that crystal and your scanner is now showing the distance to a different crystal. If you're not moving and it drops and you're playing solo, that's not normal.

Also, just to make sure, the bar also changes color (blue when you're farther away and yellow when you're getting closer), and the bar level can change drastically when it changes from one to the other.
