nope, conceal sucks for me too.

This is why I dropped /conceal. Got fed up of buildingcamo kits for Naboo, applying them and then getting 200m from my house and having it broken by hermit spiders.

It is always hermit spiders for me...now I kill hermit spiders on sight.

It sounds like the further you get into the Ranger tree the worse off you are. I have no Wayfairing at all (conceal was always useless to me) and my maskscent works as well as ever.

In fact - three of us were racing in Beggar's canyon last night - all of us at various levels of Ranger - and the only guy that got detected regularily was the guy that had everything except Master Ranger. The other two of us seemed to skate by more often. I personally only had it break once in two runs of the race.

Could they have upended the bonuses again? N'Rass?

Ditto here. The further I go up the ranger tree, the worse maskscent seems to get. It's not my imagination, I was seeing it before I ran across this thread. I also believe it's wearing off more quickly now than last week.

I'm curious: how many of us who are having this problem have maxxed our survival xp? This happened to me a few days ago, and the MS failures seemed to start happening at about the same time. I know it doesn't make any sense, but that's the only correlation I can think of.

"maxxed our survival xp?"

Wilderness Survival experience?

That would indeed be a bizarre link, as /maskscent is based on Scouting experience.

Whoops, I meant scouting. After a weekend of grinding camps I sort of have survival xp on the brain...

For the record, I'm nowhere near maxxing my scouting xp. This has got to be something happening in the last few weeks (something introduced in a patch), either having to do with creature awareness or a glitch in the skill advancement. Either that or we're all imagining things.

Okay, thanks for letting me know. I've bugged this, and I suggest that anyone who hasn't do the same.

I guess that it probably does have something to do with moving up the ranger trees then, because I've talked to several novices, Scouts, and CH's who aren't having the same problem.

I havent had any problems with maskscent breaking...until yesterday on Corellia. I was running around looking for a few Giant Carrion Spats and it seemed everytime I would run by a crazed Durni my scent would break. Then I went to Dantooine to hunt with a friend and it never broke once. I donno if it was a streak of bad luck or a bug.

Eh ehm, two friends there buddy. You went hunting with two friends.

whelp, I have been the last two days running around on dathomir and very rarely has my maskscent ever broken, and even less has a creature gone aggro on me. I am now 2/2/4/1 on the ranger tree. if there is a problem, it isn't affecting me for whatever reason.

Yup! Getting the exact same problem on all low level stuff. Very irritating. Fine if I stear clear of hermit spiders!

yep

I have always had it breaking to some extent on kreetles, but it is definitely worse now. I have a harvestor near Kimo city on Lok and usually could run through without any major problems, but for the last couple days I break every time I move around in there. Same on Tat. I am having both conceal and maskscent break like crazy.
