For those of you interesting in knowing how the new patch will effect us:

Currently on Test Center:

• /maskscent and /concealdo not break in combat. AT ALL!

I have been leary to post regarding this as I did not know whether it was a bug or not...

• But Inow believe this is the intended implementation.

Good Hunting.

Holy Bantha Poodoo! That's great! Hopefully it is the correct implementation. Hate to get my hopes dashed on the nerf bat of SOE.

It's been like that on TC for about 1 week or so.
Hard to belive it's intentional. I wonder why.

They're updating TC now so we'll see if it stays true.

Any other things we have to look forward to from test center?

"It's been like that on TC for about 1 week or so"

Yes, it has been that way since they moved the latest patch onto Test Center. =)

"Hard to belive it's intentional. I wonder why."

Hey... Let's have some faith here, shall we. =)

Wahoo! Maybe this will balance my inability to do massive amounts of damage =)

"Maybe this will balance my inability to do massive amounts of damage"

Nah... No amount of fixing could solve that problem. =)

/cheer I was wasting a ton of resoueces making camo for all the planets!

I believe...

WHOOOOOA. This is pretty nuts... but wait. Should they really not break at all? I guess it's good. Both /maskscent and /conceal? I dunno. Personally I think this might be a good place to make /maskscent a bit inferior.. maybe have it go away when damage is taken. Unless they're also planning to fix /conceal next patch, and have it work properly on NPCs.

This is great to hear. Hopefully it stays this way. Like I've said before, /maskscent and /conceal do no equal invisibility, but if a critter fails a check against you, then your scent or conceal shouldn't break. Nor should it break for the other creatures in the pack unless they successfully check you. I wouldn't mind critters getting a bonus to checking you when you enter combat, but the simple act of firing a weapon shouldn't totally blow your cover. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
