Problems with Maskscent:

1. I can't seem to find any benefit from having Wayfaring IV (+90 camo) vs Explore IV. My maskscent is broken all the time by challenge level 9 things. This is an annoyance and can get me killed (has a few times) when travelling and exploring other planets.

2. There is a bug with pets, that when you take out one that is aggressive, you can get scouting xp. At the same time, your pet can also break your maskscent. This needs to be addressed quickly. I know it's a bug and I won't use it, I don't see getting thousands upon thousands of scouting XP per hour as hard earned.

3. The one minute timer needs to be reduced as you get higher in the Wayfaring line. Maybe down to 20 seconds or so. Would give you a benefit to having the line.... once it is fixed in the first place.

I agree that the timer should be lowered as you go higher, as you dont need to abuse it like it was for experience as much, but as for the state of your Mask Scent you must have bad luck, Im exploring through planets like Lok, Dantooine, Endor, and Yavin 4 all the time without a worry in the world.

Im in compleat agreement.

im wayfaring3, and getting stuck with your fly down and it swinging in the wind for a minut not being able to do something is just unacceptable

Im starting novice ranger AND Im a bothan and Kreetles on tatooine break my mask scent ALL the time.. it's crazy... and it just happens to break, RIGHT when there is a Dragonett a few meters away, and there goes my little bothan butt...

I just made Wayfarer and I agree as well. My mask scent goes down way too much at the moment for low lvl creatures. Also my pets can break my mask scent.

Just having Wilderness Exp remaining in Ranger, I often find that my mask scent only drops when around yellow mobs. Although it's often , it is far less now as a ranger then before as a scout. It's not all that rare that it will just wear off on it's own. In the same breath, I've been attacked by a red "aggressive mob" with mask scent up, fought the creature, killed it and continued on my way without maskscent ever dropping. Which is a testimate to it's bugginess nature.

Something else I've noticed, is that whether mask scent is up or not I rarely get attacked by aggressive mobs. Even running right through the camp and bumping into the nest, to mobs that con white to me.
