Geeze, nope. Had it wear off after several engagements, but it was never broken. Found it seems to be lasting longer and working as well if not better than pre-last patch.

Of course, rasps break my maskscent with amazing regularity, tho mutant kahmurra never see me coming, go figure.

Wandered thru a lab filled with aggros, mutant kahmurra and the like, never once had it broken. Scoped out the entire lab, top to bottom. Then engaged the 3 guard kamurra outside, used the bleed and peace method and they never broke it.

NB - I am a Master Ranger and do have mod'd clothes on, tho it don't help against rasps.

Squib,

I have to agree with JB - no problems to speak of. I am finally happy with the way that its working now.

Even though I'm not a ranger, I posted in the thread you mentioned. Yes, I suddenly had a much higher freqency of Mask Scent breaking.

I was playing "Tag the Squill" (or at least make them wonder who was breathing down their necks) last week and it only broke about 3 times. Two nights later, it broke every couple steps. I even tried going prone and not moving. It still broke. I've been out of town doing some RL scout-like activities (i.e. looking for Bambi's dad in the woods, hoping he is tasty) so I haven't tried it since then. I'm going back on tonight to try it again.

I'm curious: have any of you noticed problems with mask scent breaking much more often than usual lately? Some of the Rangers have had this problem for the last week or so, and I was wondering if it was Ranger specific (and probably another /conceal bug) or if it was affecting scouts as well.

I'm having horrible problems lately. I have novice ranger, with a full tracking tree, and it breaks more often than it expires. It's made my trips through the wilds of Endor and Dathomir interesting, to say the least.

I would say YES it is breaking for me quite a bitmore within the last week. I also just bought a + 15 Maskscent shirt right before it started happening and thought it was because the shirt was bugged.

In fact I would say that now > 75% of the time I run by arggo mobs it breaks. Exploration IV with a +15 cammo, +15 Maskscent shirt....

Guys,

Remember - if you're running, it's going to breakmore often. The chances go up that it breaks if you are running. They go down if you are walking or are prone.

DeltaXi65,

My feedback dealt with breaks while running only. As a pistoleer/medic my idea of stealth is running in a circle around the mobs instead of just runningthrough them...

In other words, before when I was running by Mobs, it would only break every so often around seemingly more vicious/aggresive mobs like say, a Crystal Snake spawnon Yavin IV not every other time like now running by a Fuzzy Jax on Rori that happens to be 'red'...

Keep providing me with this information. Like I said, I've not been having problems, but if something did come unglued, I want to get it to the Devs ASAP.

I have 4 exploration and no Ranger. It's working great for me! In fact, I was fighting reds on Endor last night and when I attacked them, my masksent wasn't broken. But you don't question good luck in the heat of battle, if you know what I mean.

Delta -

If I didn't know any better, I'd say this was some sort of variation of the old "kreetle bug", where MS seemed to break on low level creatures but work alright on the big guys. When I started noticing the problem I was hunting on Tatooine, where there aren't a whole lot of creatures that can give me problems. Maskscent and conceal both broke all the time, on creatures that were usually between CL 10-25.

Heard there was good wooly on endor so I hunted there for a few days, lots of meanies and the average CL is significantly higher. I used both conceal and MS. MS broke a couple times on the big stuff (as it should), and conceal didn't break once.

Today I was on both Corellia and Naboo, and MS was breaking all the time, just like it did on Tatooine, on stuff like nightspiders and crazed durni. I didn't have any camo for these planets so I couldn't conceal, but judging by my experiences on Tatooine it would have been a waste of resources anyway.

I don't have any hard statistical data because I was busy trying to fill orders, but these are my general impressions over the last few days.

I find that as a Trandoshan my Mask Scent breaks more often than it does for the others in my group (Human, Twilek, and Zabrak). My guy is noticed and attacked more often than the others, even when some of them weren't masked. Very frustating. Is there something to Mask Scent and being a Trandoshan? Or am I just unlucky or being paranoid?

I can stroll leisurely through packs of voritor lizards all day with little problem...but if I even look funny at a kreetle within about 75m, it breaks.

Maybe I just have really low Kreetle Faction.
