Afternoon all....
Over this past weekend I believe I uncovered a bug with mask scent not working. My camo kits work fine and I can conceal, but my masked scent seems to be almost useless. Creatures are attacking me all the time even w/o it being broken. Has anybody else encountered this?
If your wondering "why" I don't conceal all the time it is because when doing harvester runs and such I don't bother getting resources from planets I will only be on for 10 mins.

Are you camoed when you get to the planet? I.e. Being camoed on one planet then leaving still camoed and landing on another planet. That just screws every thing up.
Other than that the best thing you can do is figure out how to make it happen over and over, and do /bug.

There is a bug where if you are concealed and take a shuttle/starport ride, then when you get off you are unconcealed right ... well the game doesnt recognize this and if you go mask scent the nose will appear but it ain't working, and if you then try to "un-mask scent" it will say "you can not mask scent while concealed" ... so you have to hit conceal while you are pseudo mask scented to make the game think you arent concealed anymore .. then your mask scent will work ... get it? heh

That seems logical. I have been doing alot of planet hopping lately and some planets I visit more regularly I use a camo kit, so I am sure it is the shuttle bug. I will have to be conscious before leaving planets to un conceal.
Thanks....

I think a quick fix is to use /maskscent a few (2, 3) times. Have had it happen once in a while and just using this trick I seem to be able to fix it.

I never use camo 
Maskscent only takes pressing a button and works for me 99% of the time. Maybe I should try it again and see if it's gotten any more reliable though.

I spent an age not using camo - in fact I mastered Ranger while only ever using a couple of camo kits. Now however, I always have a crate of camo kits for every planet on me at all times. I wouldn't be without them.

Hehe... /camouflage is also one button away: make macro called camo, add a line /camouflage and drag it to the buttonbar
Only thing you have to be aware of is to have a camo-kit ready in your main inventory of the planet you're on.

Actually the command is /conceal

Yeah but camo takes crafting AND hitting a button, maskscent only takes hitting a button 
Honestly though I have tried camo a few times and it broke way more often then maskscent ever did, so I abandoned it. And yes I was a master ranger

/conceal works WAAAY better for me than /maskscent.
And it has the added bonus of concealing my non ranger friends. It can make life a bit better when hunting.
