Haven't had a chance to try /conceal yet. Can anyone tell me if your character appears any differently when using the cammoflage kit?

Nope. Disapointing, eh?

Tested it the first day - you are still you, ugly as always and no change to the avatar. I sorta wanted to look like a shambling mound of leaves (ghillie suit) but alas, still me.

I was very disappointed when I tried this skill out for the first time and didn't observe any camo paint on my character's face or the faces of the players that I applied it to. Very minor detail, but a huge miss in my opinion.

In addition to all the problems, I'm getting tired of the little dude sliding back and forth for the skill button. It's so annoying, I had to create my own macro for it.

All I get is the nose icon.

bah, i meant the /areatrack button... ignore me.. =/

"I'm getting tired of the little dude sliding back and forth for the skill button."

- Yes, the Art department seems to be getting behind when it comes to new additions (must be that dang Space Expansion or something. )

- There are numerous new macro commands that don't have defined icons (diagnose, register location, customize droid), which is irritating.

- I'm sure if wepush theissueenough, the Art department will give us a "ghillie suit" graphic eventually.

- As well, an animation when waiting for /areatrack would be nice too

So does conceal actually hide you from other players radar, or what exactly does it do. If so how long does it conceal you for and can the other players detect you? Just curious because I was thinking about becoming a Ranger. Thanks.

/conceal only hides you from animals and NPCs, not players.

you can apply it to other people?

Yes! We actually have a real purpose in groups now other than the "camp builder". Also the area track helps out in a group environment. We don't have to be loners anymore! (If we so chose :smileywink.

I haven't had a chance to play around with the three kits that I can currently make, but it's a little dissappointing to hear that there is no visual appearance change to camoflauge your avatar. Maybe it'll get added? I'mstill trying to understand the rational behind the dev's needto make us use specific floral aside from the grasses that are around us, when we apply the kit,but I'll suck it up and pay the outrageous prices that resources are now carrying thanks to the resource nerf...unless that's localized to Wanderhome only. I hope I don't sound like I'm complaining, just making a general observation from my perspective.

I'd like to see the conceal command get added to PVP. We're Master Scouts/Rangers aren't we? We should be able to conceal ourselves, sneak up on the enemy and probe their strengths. I think that if you fire on anyone your conceal breaks...I don't really see how that could grief anymore than other professions are able to do in this "grief free" game.
