Are you attacking the creatures aggroing you?
If you are, then maskscent is working fine, as it stays up during combat. It does not work on on the herd of creatures you are attacking, unless you attack them in certain ways to guarantee only one aggros you. Most creatures will at least bring a friend, most bring the herd.
Maskscent should prevent neighbors from joining the party to beat on you however.
More details please

There is also a range that animals "check" for your presence (46m?). If you put on maskescent right next to them they are likely to notice you anyway (though sometimes they do not). Also if you are attacking one and it notices you it will aggro without breaking scent, and if it is a social animal all its biuddies will also aggro you without breaking scent. Or it could be a bug.

That's an old bug ainit?
Maskscent/camo breaks, without telling us.. heck without breaking.
So, when you finally reach safety, and do /maskscent it removes its useless self, and then you have to reapply.

Not attacking anything was just running to various waypoints. Also up till yesterday /maskscent was working fine for me on tatooine, even against the infamous kreetles, though they did break it more often than any other creature.

Hmmm... ominous. Maskscent was working last night on TC for me but I did not play on live. It may have just been reeeeeeally bad luck.

Maskscent was breaking for me a lot on Yavin the last couple nights. So i started using conceal in its place.

You know we didnt answer this thread the way it needs to be.
Mask Scent broken on Bloodfin/Yavin/900m south of Mining Outpost by Skreegs consistently while walking up to them with shift held down at about 20m. Conceal did not break against the same creatures while even in the middle of a melee battle.
Remember they need specifics of what creatures, what planet, what server and where. The more info we give them the better the odds of it being addressed.

Every time I use it all the reds agro on me(not just kreetles). However the strange thing is it doesn't break the /maskscent. no system message about a creature detecting me and the little nose icon is still up there in the left hand corner of my screen. Anyone else having this problem?

were you really running? or was that just a figure of speech, cause when i have maskscent on, if i am walking, it is rare for things to agro me, now if i start running everything hears my loud wookiee feet hitting the ground runs at me. by maskscent you are concealing yourself by blending in scent wise with the animals around you, but if you are moving fast you are also making more noise, which often will blow your cover.

Walking doesn't help with squills, i learned that today. Had mask scent on, and went walking into the squill cave to try to do the hero quest and they came after me. I decided just to burst run through it considering i'm a rifleman and can't do jack up close.
