I'm a semi-newish ranger, so forgive me if this has been addressed somewhere before. I recently decided to expand from tracking 3 to master ranger. So I picked up wayfaring1, which gave me conceal. I had a tat camo kit that I'd picked up off the bazaar somewhere once upon a time. Since I spend most of my time on Tat, I applied one. Life was fine and dandy, until I decided to head out to Dathomir to play some woo-hoo chicken games with rancors.
By this time, my conceal had long since worn off (and I'd even logged out and back in.) I headed out, thinking I've got a little xp saved up, lemme head over the the village and convert it. I can grab some nice scout xp on the way. So I masked scent, and headed out of the science outpost. Reptilian flier... it attacked me. No notice of it breaking mask scent. Okay, so I continue on until he loses interest. Baz Nitches... same thing. Rancors, Same thing. I've not seen mask scent break - no system message, and the icon's still in my status bar. So what gives? Anyone know anything about this? A guildmate of mine said he's still able to use mask scent without issue, but he's not into Ranger at all... is there some sort of weirdness with cammo kits?? Any help would be most appreciated!
Thanks,
Kothmia

There is an odd bug with maskscent/camo. The AI thinks you are camo'd when in fact you are not. It doesn't always happen, just sometimes. Often happens when you leave planet A camo'd and go to planet B.
I read the solution was to maskscent and then maskscent again, effectively turning it on and off. That may clear up the camo glitch.
Were you getting xp from the maskscent on Dath? Sometimes creatures attack you and maskcent doesn't break, no notice, no stalk message or anything.
It's one of those here and there bugs that is just weird.

no xp messages, just hey, you're under attack. I'd try to /mask to clear it, and it said that I was already concealed. I was guessing that it still thought I was camo'd from tat, but since I'd even logged out... I was hoping for the best. Thanks for the info!

Ju got BUGED!
Any way part of the realism of masksecnt a and conceal is if you walk right up to some thing... they might just jump you any way. No need for them to break you mask/conceal.

You have to use /conceal to turn it off when it's bugged like that (untarget everything and type /conceal). Typing /maskscent twice lets you check if it's bugged like that (because it will say you are concealed).

agent156, I'm aware of that, however, if it was a "realism" of it kinda thing, I'd still have gotten some kind of scouting xp, it wouldn't have been on every single thing I came across. 
Nemo0, Ah... That would be the piece that was missing. I'd tried /conceal, but I'll bet I was still targetted at the time.... Cool. When/if it happens again, I'll try that one. Thanks!

Man was in mask scent hell tonigh on Yavin. A critter (only one on my 128 m radar) broke my mask 3 times in about 60 sec. I realy though it shouldn't do that. And then latter it happened again...
Like - mask breaks, wait out the 7 sec (or what ever it realy is, I'm kinda slow), mask, it breaks instantly, try two more times, each time it breaks instantly, give up kill critter. A chuko or what ever those things are called. Not exactly a high level critter if you know what I mean.

last night, I wasn't even getting a message that it had broke, and it still showed up on my status bar as being active. At least if it'd broke, I could have reapplied and tried elsewhere. Here's hoping tonight's better...
