/bump with question to Do they work?

I had a camo kit in inventory and was attempting to conceal people only for the icon to flash and not a lot happen.

Was it stealth nerfed or just broken in this instance?

Some extra notes; after playing around I gave my camo kit to another player and tried /conceal again on someone else and didn't get the "you need a camo kit" error message which made me slightly alarmed, I only get this message now if I try to conceal myself without a camo kit, yes in otherwords exactly as if i'd used it from my inventory :/

On the caves they seem to either be useing thoughs triggers or just plan out not working. Everything seems to attack through the camo.


On a side note i was messing aroundwith camo on my crafting alt. I dragged the kit up to the toolbar and used it, and i was camoed. But the numbar of uses didn't change. i have two uses before i camoed myself and two after. Anyone else seeing this on alts or friends?

just curious, would a camo kit of the right type make me invisible to overts of the opposite faction, kind of like a guille suit? curious as I have some good ideas if so. thanks

Not other players, no. It works like a low level /mask against enemy NPCS though, but you have to move slowly.

Nop. Only Jedi (force cloak) and Riflemen (cover) get radar and visual invisibility. The ranger camo works like mask scent, just against NPC's as well. (and it uses camo kit's instead of being free)

While doing some faction missions, well just yesterday. I can while camo'd, walk up to an imp. and lump him up while his buddies standing 2-3 meters away do not see me at all. I know it is the camo because I was standing behind said imp., who just happened to be the last one for the group for the mission when my camo wore out, and he saw me and attacked. I have allso noticed that the higher lvl stormies, especally the squad leaders seem to break my camo and attack when I am attacking their mates.

I not sure what the formula for Camo Ability versus CL of the NPC is, butas an Imperial, camo works 99% - 100% of the time on the CL50 Rebel NPC's in Coronet. Movement speed (walking, running, riding a BARC) does not seem to matter.

I think CL matters because I was in the middle of a base being busted and tried to camo when I got up from being incapped only to get spotted after walking about 10m. Though maybe that was just because I was in a base..

CL matters. keep an eye on it Boost your cammo skill with some BE clothes and other things. You'll go even farther.


I remember the day when our cammo worked like the rifle mans cover ability. But they took it away gave it to them. I could take down a whole lair, without once getting discovered(just like a ranger should be able to), but not since cu. nerfed and nothing in return.
