Personally I love it, it reminds me of that game 'hot or cold' you played as a kid.
Who likes the new search system?

Are you kidding?
Would it absolutely kill Bioware to have pinged items show up on the damn minimap? Apparently yes.
I hadn't thought of that, would make Search better.
Also change from a yellow highlight which is the exact same color as pretty much every ground in the game to a bright red so we can actually see it would be good. I spend 10-15 sec routinely searching for what I actually pinged before finding it. And that happens quite frequently.
But I think I like search better than holding tab the entire game.

Wouldn't be half as bad if you actually could click and loot from a distance and not having to stand right next to the object. It would also be a lot better if search was tied to a skill and if it highlighted objects that did not show up unless you found them with the skill.

Ah come on don't be such killjoys, it's fun! At least you don't get the sparkling (like it's full of lit fireworks) chest immersion breaking like in DAO.

I hate the new search system so much I almost swallowed my tongue in rage.

Well yes I agree with you there, I think it's a good system for items and secret things that are deliberately hidden, but maybe it should be backed up with a skill like you said.

I can see loot and chests fine so I rarely bother to use it. Seems completely unnecessary.

The search system is ok. The loot-gathering mechanic is terrible, though. Even in WoW you don't need to pick every frakin piece of garbage from the ground, one by one. You get everything with one click.
Please Bioware, if you decided to stick MMO features into your story-driven RPG, at least make them less annoying.

I agree with may be a colour change. Doesn't stand out too well.
Other than that, I spam the search key so much I hear that damn ping in my sleep now. ![]()

It was very practical and compeltey optionnal.

I don't mind it too much. I wish the highlight color was different, as others have said, but I also would like the minimap to show an arrow or highlight in the direction the object is at. There have been times I've been standing somewhere, smashing V and circling the camera like an idiot, unable to find the thing. I want to find the thing.

I have only now come to understand the search system. I completely missed the compass flash and I didn't know the direction indicator was a direction indicator and only learned it from a tutorial popup I got at Chateau d'Onterre. Now that I understand it, I really like it. Having said that, a direction indicator on the minimap would be nice.

It's one of those little quirks that this game has that I both absolutely despise, yet I know a few years down the road I'll be thinking "Damn I miss that pinger..."

I can't stand the new search. So instead of holding tab/using a program to just hold tab for me, I have to run around the entire time pressing a button over and over so that I don't miss something. Add to it that everything is highlighted in a color that doesn't show well in most environments and I just think it plain sucks. I'd have no problem if it was only required for locating secrets, but having to use it to locate everything just sucks. I hope someone comes out with a mod that will just add a shimmer to all lootable items.

I was so used to click to loot from the first 2 games, that I did the same in this game for a long time, until I realized that I could just get close and hit they USE key. The same thing for rifts, just get close and hit your use key, you do not have to click on it. It was a chore to click on loot. Now if they could just have a Take All key for loot.

A toggle would be great. I find myself spamming the search button a lot, and it becomes more of a tedious chore than an interesting game mechanic.

Its tedious and unnecessary.

I don't like it. But I don't really mind it, either?
I just wish loot was more visible. Even using the sonar it can be hard to find.
