I also would be happy for them to remove the XP from it totally, IF IT WOULD ACTUALLY WORK!

I used to think MS was for navigating safely, however after the last few nights I have found I agree with the devs more. Sneaking up on a big aggresive mob, with MS on, laying down some traps and having MS prevent them from seeing you so your group can lay waste to it. . such a pretty and fun thing.



Also, it helps cut down how easily the mobs find you when you start shooting them.

Yeah well.. the social mobs are currently BUGGED if you ask me.. (By social mobs i mean the ones who willgo for the same target if you attack 1 of them) Why?


I use mask scent.. sneak up on a lair, and start shooting at the nearest mob.. And what happens? Yeah.. the mob i am shooting at just stand around looking confused while i land one bodyshot after another.. but his 4 friends immediately comes towards me! (And yes.. maskscent IS up)


Should it be like this? "The other mobs see where you are shooting from".. well.. why dont the one i actually shoot at do that as well, when his friends are running towards me? I mean.. once it actually have found out where i am, i agree they ALL should be coming for me, but that the others come charging at once, while the original target just wanders about.. that does not look right to me tho.. If they are supposed to be like that, they should at least all start running to me immediately, even the one i am shooting at cos it will follow his "friends" to me.. not make it so my target is the last one to detect where i am.. that's just stupid..
