I spent a lot of time in the Village today, and that meant a lot of flights around Dathomir on my swoop. I spent a lot of time camo'd. More times than I could count the camo broke, of course, and combat was initiated. But... Most of the time it was something gray that was breaking it and intiating the combat. Seeing as how grays shouldn't even attack, this reeks of bug.


I guess what I'm wondering is--which is the cause, and which is the effect? I've got a hunch that it's the camo breaking that's starting the combat, rather than the creature initating it, but I have no way of proving this. I have not yet had anything agro me that was gray when I was not camo'd.

tbh I don't think it is the camo breaking that is causing the aggro, i was using mask scent in the myyydrill (sp?) caverns earlier and it was breaking by the beetles in there and some of them would then aggro. I then was just walking around with out mask scent as it was breaking too often and they were still aggroing. They all conned grey and were about half of my CL it didn't matter with our without mask scent i would say that it was about 1 in 10 that would aggro. I noticed it the Kachirho forest area as well with all the grey cons there, as well as on tat ( i almost lost my barc because of it)

My people have the gift of prophecy (well, we're all drunks-- same thing) and here's what I foresee:


This is a bug, and it's the camo breaking that causes grey cons to attack when they shouldn't. HOWEVER, in a few days SOE will release notes stating that if you attempt to conceal yourself from something that ordinarily wouldn't attack you, and they break your camouflage, they will attack as a matter of principle in response to your audacity. Working As Intended.

Thus making camo even more useful. And by "more useful" I mean "less worthwhile."

Can't find the thread now, it seems to have been 'archived' but I'm usre that in the patch notes there was one line tucked away that said:

"If a creature is following you you will be 'in combat'"

Now, if a grey is following you but can't initiate combat because of CL / your cammo hasn't broken, as soon as it does break (unlucky check from a higher level creature nearby) you are going to think you've been aggroed by a grey.

Again, it needs structured testing and atm we can't do that as TC is fubar and the frog server was killed off before the issues that the publish was raising actually hit Live and we could then go "okay, we need to check this..."

I've had several instances of this happening as well. Even when it was on TC. TBH I think it is better to not even use camo or maskscent anymore. At lvl 80 there isn't much that isn't a gray con anyways. My real concern I guess is the point of Kashyyyk camo. The planet that is supposed to be so dangerous i find is one of the most tame. Only at the bottom of the Ryattt Trail have I found anything that is withing my con level. But for crafters i can see why camo would be a good thing. but is there any reason for a crafter to be on Kashyyyk? You can't place harvestors there. Maybe it's the Guinness in me right now but can someone tell me a good reason to even have Kashyyyk camo?
