Thread: *EDITTING EDIT EDIT* /mask*EDITTING*scent
Anyway, I'm running along, and I get combat music. Dragonets, okay, that's alright. I easily outrun them, re/mask, and a few seconds, combat music again. Dune lizards this time. Now, I've been on Tatooine a lot, in fact it's where I mastered most of Scout, and I would easily bypass dune lizards at exploration 4, even 3. So now I'm a little peeved, but I keep moving and WHAMO combat music again, kreetles this time. Yes. Ever*EDITTING* KREETLES.
So I decided to stop heading to Jabba's for a bit, and test something out, a theory of mine. So I /maskscent and start purposely looking for lairs surrounded by red on my radar. And guess what? /mask broke. Every. Single. Time. I didn't even bother to /logout. I just hit shift-esc and disconnect.
So much for master ranger.
Actually I noticed mask scent breaking an insanely unusual amount of times last night...it broke on just about every encounter...strangly enough, my partner/wife who is working on Ranger and is 0/01/2 at the moment wasn't having any problems at all.
Specifically...ever since I started wearing BE enhanced clothing that gives me a total +126 mask scent and conceal...I've been breaking far more than when I was just +100 which is weird.
But yeah, I had an insanely bad night last night too
I was hunting Flits on Lok today. Yes.. FLITS. I know, small but the meat is MAD good right now.
I get out my rifle and head shot a couple of flits. I go up to harvest before the carcasses disappearing (FIX THE CARCASS DISAPPEAR TIME YOU RETARDS!) and the remaing flits broke my maskscent 3 out of 4 times of the time. Its like its gotten WORSE over time instead of better. I am almost Master Ranger for goodness sakes!
Yeah, I am real glad that I now have mount so that I can travel so fast that things don't spawn until I am on top of them and they can break my maskscent and I can't put it back on because I am mounted and my mount slows down to allow me to be attacked and when my mount gets attacked it just dissappears to my datapad leaving me to be incapped in the dirt like a NOOB.
LOVELY!
Mask scent works fine for me. I can run circles around tusk cats on rori, literaly
but conceal... works fine on high lvl creatures like tusk cats, but when i come to a low lvl creature like kreetle it breaks
I've noticed it too.
Was waiting to post on this until I got a little Volsted in me andgenerated some test numbers. 
It drives me insane being unmasked by kreetles while coming out of kneel; however I've seen others post that maskscent is BETTER recently. One guess is that they've adjusted the curve in such a way that those with a very high skill level are seeing a worsening, while perhaps those with less skill are seeing improved performance.My problem is that I don't feel like its effecting all players of similar skill equally... I get the distinct impression that other Master Ranger buddies aren't suffering like I am, but I suppose it could be chance and coincidence could play a role.......
Well, at least I know now that i'm not the only one.
Why the **edit** would mask break on a low level creature more often than high? On dath today i was hunting kamiriths (walked by them just fine), but let me walk by a **edit**ing purbole and bam mask breaks they poison me lovely. Then i get DB. I walk back to mission kamiriths nothing, purbole breaks poison DB. I go into guildchat say well i love the **edit**ing perks of being a master ranger and log.

I hadn't noticed that the duration was any shorter, probably because I haven't been able to keep it up long enough to tell. I did notice that when it breaks and I immediately try to reapply, the message tells me that I have to wait 17 seconds to repply instead of the usual 15. What's up with that?
I was playing tag the squill in the caves earlier this week and it only broke a couple times. Last night, it broke 4 out of 5 times even when I was prone and not moving.
hmmm...

Yup, me too.
Last night was especially bad, I went out to Endor for the first time ever and had maskscent break about 60% of the time. Didn't think anything of it as I assumed I just got unlucky with high level mobs, but then I went back to Naboo and decided to try and find myself a veermok baby to tame.....
.....and found that maskscent was broken *every* time by any hermit spider, spineflap soldier, shaupaut, plains cat, tusk cat etc etc.
ended up getting incapped twice between Lake Retreat and Caserta (player city), about 4km.
Grrrrr.
