In my humble opinion, xp for mask scent, and the new camo skill should be compleatly eliminated. The ballence of these skills should be directly bassed off of how you guys want it to work, not on if your worried people will get too much xp from it. Its clear that the developers have had issues with the xp from this system, since you have tweeked it up and down serveral times since release.

I know you cant give us a foolproof system that gives us the ability to just roam freely with no risk/reward. But i want to counter this, and say the reward should be based on the skill working, not the xp. Im not trying to offend the people that want xp from this, although im offereing a sugestion that would lower the over all xp earned in a day. I just feel that this is one of the bread and butter skills for a ranger/scout. And in such, should work, not just fill my xp bar.

while i have the floor im going to offer one other sugestion. I do like the xp message for one reason; it lets me know im being checked for scent. My sugestion is putting a littlewarning boxthat you can place some where on the ui (mabe my char info where the mask scent, attack, peace, etc symble goes next to my health guage). Make this flash when im getting checked. It would let the ranger know he's being checked, and can act as a warning/interface. Just a sugestion on a direction to go.

I totally aggree.

I would much rather have the skill WORK than get worthless experiance spam for it.

I NEVER got experiance for masking scent the entire time I was climbing to Master Ranger and I did it just fine without.

Maskscent works fine, I think it's great that you get scouting exp for..well... scouting around planets. The more dangerous the planet the more scouting exp you build up. It's hardly worthless exp spam since I spent 3 hours on endor yeaturday and got over 20k of scouting exp from just being there with maskscent on.

Then again you only needed around half of the exp needed to master it then as you do now. Level 4 skills are now 70k exp to get them so the maskscent exp is very much needed to actually acheive those at any kind of reasonable rate.

I do not agree...

You get better by using it!

Practice makes perfect!

And all that...
