Well don't normally frequent the scout boards but as this is a scount issue thought I would ask here. As an MBE/MCH/Master Scout/0030 Ranger I was curious if maybe there had been some response to this. Lots of questions about it in the BE forum but our correspondant is AWOL.

Joil,


I'm not sure what "stealth mask scent nerf" you guys are talking about?


We've done a survey, and we've not noticed any major changes about it...

Try getting close to a Mutant Rancor and see how much more often your mask scent breaks now, and this is with clothing and jawa beer.

Joilhath,


We've tested it out, and we've not noticed huge differences. Those higher level creatures are going to cause problems all the time.


I'll test it out again, but the Devs have not mentioned any nerfs. I'll talk to Calc over on the Ranger forum and see what they're noticing.

Yes they always were hard to get close to but crawling from 64 meters did the trick most of the time. This is not the case anymore or so it seems to me. Thanks for looking in to it can't ask any more

Haha they say high level creatures but I can run up to an enraged bull rancor nest and sit on it without a problem. Mutant rancors- Can't get past 65 meters. This started about 2 patches ago.

Someone made a good post, I believe it was the BE forum. They mentioned that if If you have +25 maskscent/conceal clothing on and you remove some so you have only +12 clothing on, the anomilies stop. So we may have a problem with the calculations on certain levels of maskscent.

I have not noticed any major changes in how well my mask scent works. But if wearing all my ranger gear, I have a MS of about +128. I know its "effectiveness" only goes up to +95 and any more then that, goes to how long it lasts. Mine will last about 35 min as long as its not broken. My problem is, that IMHO I should better hidden from creatures as a master ranger. Even if I use camo kits at master ranger, I don't feel hidden enough for my skill level.
