Thread: ATTEN: Server to server poll to provide possible debug info for the devs
Information that might be useful:
- Server you are on.
- Status ofmasked scent working/not working.
- % of the time it breaks.
- Is there a pattern in the creature level, i.e. low level trips it but hi does not? No Pattern? ect.
- % of the time the creature attacks when it breaks.
- Scout/Ranger levels.
- anything else "odd" that I missed.
Please be subjective and don't post till you have thoughly tested this. for my part:
- Eclipse
- Not working, or very noticably worse then before
- 20%
- No pattern, Hi and low, agrro or non
- 20%, making 4% at 32-64 m ranges I usually keep from lairs I will get a "random" attack. Very scary if you are "lulled to sleep" while traveling. Trip back to the Clone center if they con hi or pack hunt. Some creatures spawn a helper right on top of you, instant like.
- Ranger : 4/3/4/4
Why I'm doing this is I suspect some servers work and some don't. I figure this may help pin this down. Also some are assuming that Scouts are working fine, just want to see the validity of this.
1. Bloodfin
2. Working, but breaks on pretty much all critters, regardless of level. I'd say breaks about every 5 times I get checked, resulting in creature aggro onabout 80% of these breaks.
3. Master Ranger
4. Conceal seems to do nothing right now. No message or indicator to show you it's up, no exp when it succeeds, and I don't seem to get aggroed any less while using it.
2. Does not work well, much worse than pre-patch (was very nice pre-patch) Breaks about 50% of the time I was on Dathomir, even against some of the lower lvl creatures (lvl 22 according to examine on creature). Broken by low level creatures on Naboo aswell. About 30% of the time I am attacked, mostly from mobs that are 60+ meters out and break mask scent. Have also been attacked by non-aggressive mobs such as a Peko-Peko on Naboo when it broke my mask scent.
3. Master Ranger
1. Sunrunner
2. Working - breaks 5-10% of the time, no real pattern as to level, creature attacks about half to 3/4 of the time it breaks.
3. Ranger (1/0/1/1)
Conceal just about as effective - but will work against NPCs with small chance of success.
Server: Eclipse
Status: Breaks about 10% of the time. Bocatts seem to break it when I am near 4 of them, until I get to that 4th one I am usually ok. The distances are between 45 and 64m. Dragonets no problem, large groups of Swarming Dewbacks no problem, and I was between a group of each once and had 4 Dragonets within 64 and 5 Swarming Dewbacks within 64. Didn't break.
Another time around a Dune Lizard broke it from about 60m but did not attack. The bocatts always attacked when they broke it. I believe they are CL17.
I came across a Canyon Krayt and a Juvenile Canyon Krayt today but didn't venture closer than 72 to them, as I wasn't interested in flying back a 3K to the nearest Cloning center. So I can't give a report on that.
Master Scout/Novice Ranger 1/0/1/0 at the time these occured earlier today and yesterday.
Just a bit of observance on my part today while getting Wooly hide for Conceal kits: Banthas and Dune Banthas do not see me while /concealed and I am attacking. I can drop them all without them seeing me. However, no matter which I am attacking, if there is a Bantha Matriarch then she will see me as soon as I take my first shot, even if she is more than 70m away. She knows that I am there and that I am hunting one of her pack. The one I shoot at still doesn't know I am there, but she rushes me everytime. Other than that Maskscent and Conceal work really well for me. I am planning on leaving Tat next week, and if anything changes regarding my observances of these items,I will let you all know.
See ya in game,
Sorry one more thing, when using Conceal I notice it has the same icon as Maskscent. So to ThePhilosopher, try putting it on while you are not Maskscented and see if the icon comes up. Also, it appears that it does not necessarily break, but can be noticed by an individual creature and still stay on against other creatures. It has been giving me XP and it allows me to walk up to Yellow radar blipped thugs that usually attack me when I get to 64m. I can walk right up to them with no problem, now Red radar blipped thugs will see me at 64m. Just my other observation.
If you don't see this on Bloodfin, as far as the icon for conceal then I don't know what else to say.
Good luck all, and see you in game,
- Corbantis
- Maskscent is working, but not at an acceptable level.
a. As of this time, maskscent is failing 18% of the time. Iwant to see this at 10% for MasterScout.
b. There appears to be no pattern now. I succeed equally against all levels.
c. Critical failures happen 72% of breaks!! I want to see this at 20-15% of breaks for Master Scout.
- Master Ranger
- No
2. Breaks about 5% of the time. Mainly on high level creatures(like kimogilas) or larger groups. Creature attacks about 50% of the time when Maskscent is broken.

Small update from tonight's adventures.
Eclipse Server.
I am adventuring around Dantooine. All I have is Maskscent to use at this time. I have come across Voritar lizards, and Voritar Lizard Hunters, and Huurton Howlers, and regular Huurtons. All are reds.
I did not receive XP from any of them as I got within 64m of them.
Maskscent did not break on any of them, so 0% breakage, but I was only out for about 45 minutes, however, these were packs ofVoritars and Huurtons.
I am Novice Ranger 2/0/1/0
And earlier on Tatooine, maskscent did not break at all, but all I came across today has been Yellows.
