Has anyone noticed mask scent breaking alot more frequently than previously? Furthermore, has anyone had creatures seeing through mask scent without breaking it? I have been experiencing some wierd anomolies while mask scented on various planets.
The problem usually occurs like this:
Arrive at a quenker lair mask scent on, kill the first 2 quenkers no prob with it breaking. Pop the lair for a second timethen,once I have engaged the first quenker near the lair and allowed the 2nd to pop on top of me, have my mask scent broken by the add nearly everytime.
Iam a 4-0-4-0 scout with 2 +15 mask scent clothingitems on and have never seen anything like this. Do I smell that bad?
Thanks in advance for your input!

Yes I have!
They might have nerfed mask scent. I think when you attack it forces a new mask scent check which greatly increases your chance of breaking. My question is this intentional or did they break something accidently?

It used to be when you attacked, maskscent would be broken.
I see this more with NPC mobs than with creatures. Most of the time, my maskscent is broken after I tap the lair.

I still get xp when mask scent succeeds as I'm not quite capped yet. Anyways, the behavior I noticed is this: A creature pops from a liar and I get xp for a successful mask scent. Then, I attack that creature and occasionally I will immediately get "a creature has detected you". I've never started shooting and gotten another xp for a successful mask scent. Therefore, there is a chance of breaking mask scent (not a mask scent check) whenever you attack. It seems to only happen around 10% of the time. So, either this is a bug or an unannounced nerf.

Although I don't like this "change", it's good to know that I'm not going crazy. Thanks for the input guys!

Irin,
We've seen some weird things happening. I don't think it was a change, but I am trying to get an answer as to if anyone knows what happened to it.

Yep sure have. Both of the problems. Lower level things breaking it, other then Kreetles of course, and things agroing me with my mask still intact. Rather frequently in the last few weeks.

Mask scent has been particularly irksome for me. I may be alone on this, but my maskscent became sofragile that I had come to consider it useless.I can absolutely count on it to break almost immediately, and I don't even bother using it anymore. But this wasn't recent, I noticed it months ago . . .Iusedto be able to get into the temple on yavinwith maskscent ( what's thatthe temple of BlueLeaf Clusteror something similar) and get all the way to the bottom. There's no way it's that effective anymore, for me at least.
Sorry guys, I really just needed to vent about that. . .

I am a Master Scout and I was noticing this as well. Last night was the weirdest yet though. I was being detected by anything that I got close to. It didn't seem to matter if it was a aggresive or non-aggresive critter. A bunch of times I would come upon a group of Vynocks on Talus with mask scent freshly applied and I would be detected, even though the indications of mask scent still working were still there, and I recived no warning or message saying I was detected. Crazed Durnies are a big mask scent killer too. I would have thought That at Master Scout Durnies would not detect me as much as they do.
