We used to be able to belly crawl up to Rancors to get DNA, now we can't. I am guessing that dev thought that was too exciting.

As you said you normally have your rancor and gaping spider out. Vicouspets have from my observations always lowered your chances of not being noticed... odds are they have simply made them alot more sensitive to the presence of pets just as the AI is now able to take notice of the handler when they are being attacked by the pet.

Have you noticed this with anything else? Honestly, I walked up to a bull rancor more than once since the patch and didn't have a bit of problem. I do have novice ranger now, but all my points spent past that are in tracking not wayfaring.

I sampled mutant rancors all day yesterday and didn't notice any differences. Used Dathomir Camo Kits though, not mask scent.

had no problem with sampling mutant rancors last night. went up to a group of 5 with my pet out and normal maskscent on - didnt crawl and didnt even turn run off.

what i have had happen is getting aggro even after a successful maskscent check. also that combat doesnt drop the maskscent icon now - could very well be that maskscent is down and just cant tell but its back to its old buggy state.

Nope, mask scent isnt coming down at all, 'til its broken or wears off. I still get scouting xp from red creatures wandering by while I'm fighting. (Can't imagine why animals are still getting upset about being poked with a 3 foot needle, the nerve!)
