Gray cons won't aggro you anymore, and the maskscent/camo checks aren't performed on them, if memory serves. You'll only get scout xp if you go near aggros that would ordinarily attack you. At least, I'm pretty sure that's how it's supposed to be working these days.

You are correct Coreth.

By grey-con, they mean that your CL is much higher than the creature's CL. What CL are you? The red name mean they will aggro you ONLY if you are at or below the critter's CL.

Editorial comment: I don't think Scout and RAnger are intended to be levelled by driving around on a speeder with MS/Camo on. Therefore, I really wouldn't consider it a nerf that they made it so we don't get Scout XP by Masking past grey cons.

Apparently, Calc is very excited about them adding the HK droid from KOTOR.

Speculation: He is probaly looking for something else to "nuzzle."

This is horrible! I return to find my new title on the forum is "Jedi". What's up with that? If they wanted to confer that I'm rare and learned, they'd make my title RANGER. and then make it camo colored.

oh yeah i totally agree with you, it is not on my bike where I want to get the xp but if I am on foot I think it should happen accordingly, but now I am speaking out of school... I will make a point of running around the planets more before I make any other comment.

i have cl 80 master ranger, master carbiner, melee defense: so as you say I have to look for at least cl 76 (green) through cl79 (blue) cl 80 (red) 81-83 (yellow) and everything else large and nasty (purple) so these are the only critters that mask scent and camoflage will come from now? correct?

Actually, there is also another possibility beyond those; if you are a factioned combatant, I THINK all the opposing faction NPC's would automatically aggro you regardless of CL difference; camo has been known to work on them, so it is possible that this would garner the scout xp as well. I can't test this one, though, since I'm not factioned..!

One more thing to note, xp is not reported on your screen anymore....I think this may be what is hapening. Next time I make a village run I will check my scout xp before i leave and check it once I get there. I allso noticed when I disband a camp I get no report of xp...but I did check before and after and I am. Oh and to state the obvious, if you have maxed out scout xp before you goto the village you will not get anymore

Bingo, give this poster some pie

If you have your combat chat up, you will see the message where you get xp when you pass close to the red dots. It does not tell you how much but it gives an xp awareded line for each critter that you successfully mask/camo against. So there are no longer any onscreen messages it looks like they removed this method of gaining xp. But everything is fine.

Ladies and Gentlemen rangers, Devs and all... thanks for your replies and I know what you are saying (i kind of already knew what you are all saying so I will reiterate)......doesn't it strike you as making the camoflage and mask scent skill a bit pointless when GREY con critters that are either stalkers or agressive or both still can break cam' or 'scent and attack but they do not give xp if you sucessfully run past them.... once you achieve CL80 as a player there aren't a huge amount of random spawn critters that are of the Clevels that will give you xp now so the skill becomes a bit superfluous ie back to killing and skinning em for scout xp, unless you intend to go running past critters like the GDKimogila and family or Krayt or gorax all the big nasties that we only like to visit with help as rangers as a combat prof are a fair way to lacking particularly in defense which if you are there with a team, why are you bothering to camo past the critters? the skill doesn't work in caves (this is fair enough) but is where all these upper cl critters reside. I'm just trying to politely say that imo it was working properly how it was.

perhaps I am missing a valid point or something.....
