Hold down the shift key while moving that makes ya walk....I think its hitting caps lock that makes you perma walk but, not sure on that as I am at work and not in game to try....

Eye,

Slow down or find an easier planet. That's the best advice for right now.

Again, we've got changes in the works here.

Hello everybody,

i was wondering how mask scent suppost to work? Im getting all confused about how you are suppost to get it to work and what it dose. please help Straighten this out for me.

thank you

The idea behind /maskscent is that it allows you to camoflague (sp?) yourself from from aggros. /maskscent will not work on non-aggros. They detect you automatically. As your camoflague skill increases, your ability to /maskscent will become more reliable. Also, try crawling (or at least walking) while near aggros to increase the chances of /maskscent working. If it works, you will get a message telling you that "You Recieve x points of Scouting Experience."

Shadow,

Read my guide for more info on maskscent.

And think harder about giving up that CH goal.

Anyone else notice that although you dont get xp for it, it works, i was on Lok just running through red mobs without getting aggroed. Is this a bug or is it the way it's meant to work?

If your mask scent is at a certain level above the creature level, you don't get experience, and they don't notice you. That is how things work.

Unless of course you take into consideration the fact that you can be attacked by an aggro mob without it ever breaking your mask scent...

i took wayfaring up to 4 in the ranger tree, like to hear from the ppl who dont have it this high on how they getting along, would drop it in a heart beat, its just sooooooooooooooo nice to turn it on and it dont drop, im like crawling under mommy rancors taming their babies, its fun

just no market for pets, i havent been asked for any since nerf

If you guys read the in testing section in depth of what all was in this patch you would of seen what the fixes for scout. They made mask scent more effective but the downside now is if a creature breaks your mask scent then they automatically attack you. Not like before if it was broken they wouldn't attack you. If you were standing , oh let's say in the middle of a Rancor lair and your mask scent was broken it be like a couple of seconds or so then they would charge you. Now with those same circumstances if your mask scent is broken you get attacked automatically.

Noticed this while running around endor last night unsuccessfully looking for archine warrior babies. Masked scent never broke the entire night (good), but I never got exp for using it.

On another note, I tried to tame a merek battlelord twice (mostly because it was the only baby I saw and I wanted to fling it on the archine lair) and was immediately attacked and killed by the parents. Maskscent was still active at incapacitation both time. And I was attacked once by an archine warrior that never spoted me.

Arachne Warriors are notorious for attacking you via line of sight. There are other ways to trigger a creature attacking you outside of mask scent's control. Line of Sight seems to be a major one, going prone and crawling seems to help with this.

Has anyone besides me noticed that when they fixed mask scent in "the big patch" that it no longer gives xp for aggresive mobs anymore?

Yeah, it's a known bug.
