Any word as to wether this is a bug? And if so do they plan on hot patching it?

Oh, maybe when they fix it conceal will end up working against nps's again. I would be very happy.

If it matters, I have not noticed this when using /conceal. Although I haven't played all that much since the patch (but several hours running around concealed through reds). But I haven't really been standing around in a group of reds.


Also, it almost sounds like /maskscentis working like /conceal does for some NPCs. Some NPCs just ignore conceal and attack anyway. The bugs might be related.

Im a newb on the boards, but ive spent my time in the game so just listen to what i have to say k?

Mask scent doesnt totally hide u from creatures. If they see you and theyre aggresive they will still attack you. Just ms and walk around the back of the sucker, he wont attack you, if he does jump in a speeder and rethink a strategy. Someone tell me if theytest this and it doesnt work, maybe they changed it recently.

well yes.....but this discussion is more about NOT having our maskscent break and warn us that we are being aggroed.



Ironically youare also planning to be the two professions that make JB flame all holy hell out of his ass.

FURTHER datapoint:


New moncal toon out E of Keren, runs into rogue falumpaset. 2/0/4/1 scout. Puts up maskscent. Wanders around falump, gets system message that scout XP has been awarded (for successfully being ignored by the falump). 3 seconds later, the music starts, and the falump charges.


No maskscent drop, Icon up. Scout XP awarded. Still have rogue falump chasing his fishy blue hide all over the place. Quick /burstrun away, and he gets to breakoff engagement range.


Still, there is something not right. The /maskscent worked, he got XP for it, but the critter still aggroed.


I've been watching this carefully with the new toon. When he gets system notices about being detected, there is no erroneous awarding of scout XP, and the icon drops. But he's succesfully avoiding detection here and he's got spitting falump chasing after him.
