So they added a buff icon to show maskscent status.
We as BE's know when you travel to another planet you lose maskscent. Well, I masked my scent and hopped planets. Buff icon still there in the HAM area. I type /maskscent and get the message, "your natural scent has been masked from creatures". Meaning it was probably disabled but the icon was still there.
Do they even test this stuff? When I jumped planets and saw the icon there I just KNEW it wasn't set.

You now have a buff icon appear under your HAM when you mask your scent.
Pre-CU when you travel to another planet you lose maskscent. Well, I masked my scent and hopped planets. Buff icon still there in the HAM area. I type /maskscent and get the message, "your natural scent has been masked from creatures". Meaning it was not set but the icon was still there.

It looks like a nose w/ some smelly green gas below it. It appears in the upper left with the other status icons. It's new to this May 1st patch.

can you unmask and remask and it will work correctly or does is it on the wrong 'toggle' after you travel?

No, the icon stays there. Doing it a third time unmasks and removes the icon. Would've been funny if the toggle switched, would have to planet hop 3 times to get it corrected.

I've noticed an inoordinate amount of Scent breaking recently. The creatures breaking it are on the order of 40+ levels lower than I, which is really annoying as I have to turn my attention to them before going after my primary target just to insure I don't get a whole world of hurt coming down on me from every direction...

Maskscent doesnt appear to have any worthwhile effect right now, i was traveling through that trail thingie on kashyyyk and i didnt manage to mask against anything there instead i found i had a load of beasties after me.
My tactics changed since i realised how pointless mask scent has become i decided to burstrun through the entire level and when i get to a safe spot i will feign death and let them go away (at least feign death is working now).
