Ok, just started trying camp xp, so far looks like a nerf. My first camp (basic camp) only netted me 340 at the full 55 minute depop. I m on my second camp now and will start looking at the time that camp reaches max xp vs xp given next. More to follow

Guys,

PLEASE - if something is not working like its supposed to, its NOT a nerf. It's a bug.

/bug it and post it here so I can compile a list to send into the Scout dev.

Nerfs are specific, planned reductions in certain stats due to them being overly powerful. If camping XP is now even harder to get, that's not a nerf, it's a bug - because design was to make camping easier, not harder.

Sorry Delta, didn't mean to sound negative. At full 55 minute spawn multi person camps are giving 627. I m now looking at the time. Prepatch with no healing or visitors my camps maxed out in 30 minutes. I ll let you know what I find

Fallen,

Thanks - sorry. Just worried that some of these bugs are going to spitball.

I'll get an email out to the Devs ASAP.

Ok, they have done a major revamp of camp xp. With 7 visitors and some minor healing in camp (you would think in the middle of a noobian swamp I would be alone(sigh)) I pulled in 657 at a 15 minute disband so aparently 627 is not the max the camp can pull in

I had the problem with being attacked, while maskscent was still active before the patch, I personally have had much more success with it so far.. THough I am on Naboo at the moment, lol.
By the way, has anyone gained any maskscent experience, post-patch? I was rolling in it before, but so far, not 1 point...

I actually suspect MS not to be working at all.. At Master scout i have pretty high camuflage as it is, so it might be that it is stopping mobs from detecting me when moving a tad away from them.. The two times i got aggroed still with MS up i stopped and walked kinda close to the mobs..

The reason not every mob and its mother is aggroing me when running past at a reasonable distance might be cos i have high camuflage as a master scout..

My bet.. MS is not "enabled".. And i got absolutely 0 scout xp from running around on dathomir 5 hours with MS up all the time.. (And there are A INSANELY LOT of red mobs there.. hehe)

PS. Still managed to tame me a Graul on Dathomir today.. but i was lucky cos it was way far away from its parents, and actually moved more away from them a couple of times when taming failed..

Thanks Delta, Fyi camp maxes out at 20 minutes at 627 xp with no healing. Sorry that all these are revolving around the multi person camp, it s the best I have atm.

Maybe I'm missing something, but this sounds like a good thing to me. Max exp at 20 minutes? Sure, max exp is a little lower than before, but you'll be netting close to 1900 exp per hour if you do nothing else other than sit in camp, break it down at the 20 minute mark, and remake it. Isn't that a bit better than max exp before the patch?

IIRC, max was 820, and you didn't get that until close to 40 minutes. For the sake of argument, let's just say 820 exp for 30 minutes. You'd be getting 1640 max exp per hour if you did nothing but sit in camp, break it at 30, and remake. And actually, I think that's being generous with the timing.

Sometimes when i tipe /forage it says "can´t forage while runing" even if im not runing, but i can bypass this by cliking on the ground

Snjell,

The forage issue is an old one - just server lag.

Mask scent totally useless now. Is this the way it's suppposed to work. I got aggro'd by jst about every red I ran by the ones I got by, no xp no drop of MS nothing. They should just drop this skill and give us xp for fishing and foraging.

My camping exp is capping at 20 mins/basic camp/360 xp, not sure if you guys are using multi person to get to 620?

Well, from what I'm hearing its a nerf. Yesterday I was getting 800xp per 5 minutes with a small crowd of people. Haven't had a big enough crowd to test it again, so hopefully the results will remain the same.
