Please be sure and let us know how conceal and maskscent work effectiveness wise now once TC plays nice and works again

I'm guessing that any changes to the balance on /conceal was delayed until they got data/feedback after the bugs in the detection system were fixed. I suppose, for all we know, Conceal was breaking all the time because of those bugs and not because it was ineffective.

Also, quick question for you Nras, do you know if they just stripped out the flora components or if they also changed the requirement numbers to compensate? Just curious.

Well that's new way of spelling my name.

Yes, I will be checking out the /conceal and camo kits on the Test Center once I get off work...

It has been a long day... But I should be leaving in 30 minutes or so.

Yeah, sorry about the name thing lol...I didn't notice I was doing it until after I posted...oh how I wish we had access to an edit option. Thanks!

I'm headed there, even as I write this.

The removal of the flora component will be nice (even if they compensate by making us use more meat, bone, and/or hide), but I was disappointed to see no mention of a change on some of the really difficult components (ie. that darn Lokian Domestic Meat nobody can find! haha). I would at least prefer if they changed to a different type of meatif they elected not to make it just any kind of Lokian Meat.

I would love to make a ranger on TC... and i have started it... just the grind is SO boring *blah!*

NRaas, what is your in-gmae TC name?

"NRaas, what is your in-gmae TC name?"

N'Raas.

two 'a's, one 's'...

I would join you bud... just... BLAH! TC is crashin on me... *grumbles and goes to eat*

"I would join you bud... just... BLAH! TC is crashin on me"

No matter... I'm through for tonight. I'll be back on tomorrow night though.

I've hooked up with DeltaXi65 and he's showing me the ropes on /maskscent, so I have some base line for comparison with /conceal.

So far, DeltaXi65 does not appear too impressed with the results.

I walked into a trong of Maulers, and succeeded in conceal 6 times, and failed twice...

However against Narglatch Cubs, Hermit Spiders and Rabid Sharpaut I have yet to break either /maskscent or /conceal.

I'll have more information on the camo kit experimentation tomorrow.

Well thats a start Why not jump to Rancors? The results of that "test" will be more conclusive

"Why not jump to Rancors?"

Though the Correspondent Terminals give me the Ranger Skills...

They don't give me any Elite Combat skills.

Itseemsmore efficient to test /conceal when I'm alive, rather than dead.

doh! forgot about that lol...although if you are out there testing alone, unless you had commando, I don't think it'd matter much if a Rancor attacked you skilled or not

Guys,

Like N'Raas said, /maskscent is working better on the failing and aggroing issue, but those damned Kreetles are still causing me problems.

I'm thinking it may having something to do with Ferocity (as they've got a higher ferocity than the spiders, monkeys and kitties we were playing with earlier) but I'm waiting on a clarification from GreenMarine on that.

N'Raas and I are going to try the conceal kits out against some Kimos tonight, while I keep fiddling with the Kreetles.

And the reason we aren't on Dath isn't just because of the no-combat skills. We're also broke. I've got 4k in the bank now, so we couldn't get there even if we wanted to. If I could get to a planet to test, I'd head to Yavin 4 first, because you can't swing a dead gnort on Yavin 4 without hitting an aggressive critter.
