Thread: FIX MASK SCENT SUGGESTION
Sorry for starting a new thread but...
1) Yea the powergaming uber l33t who POST they're exploits havemessed up 90% of us again... YEA!
2) Sony please conscider allowing us to:
usemask scent without the SYS MASK SCENT nerf after we reach master scout ..
and in the mean time.. could you rename it to something even REMOTELY game related?? WHAT A NASTY NEWBIE PROGRAMMER MESSAGE, why not just pop up a modal VB6 dialoge box or something COME ON!!! Here's my point... Mask scent BARELY works anyway.. Explore III here going on IV. 2 it was a great skill and BARELY functional as it was ... can we PLEASE JUST HAVE IT BACK WHEN THE XP DOESN'T matter anymore. It's usefull for MANY scout like things... and was VERY cool sneaking up on prey... getting past 1 or 2 mobs out of 50.... and other non exploitive uses... now... it's USELESS
Or leave it as it currently stand as Mask Scent 1.
Give Mask Scent2 which is a 30 second dureation to Novice Ranger and Creature Handler
Mask Scent 3 to Master CH and Rangers which is the old form of Mask Scent.
Now you have have a growth path and usability for Mask Scent Skill that is not as exploitable.

Driza, I like your idea. I didn't like the new delay lastnight when I played. Im a Bothan Scout on Corillia, and when running around cross country, I would maybe get an xp hit from MS about 3-4 times an hour, with an average xp of 100. That really isn't that much. Now mind you, I would run past many creatures with it up, who didn't detect me, which helps me running around with out interuptions, but didnt get xp from it.
That is not a lot of xp from that skill, and being Bothan, I already have bonus. Lastnight, I played for about 3-4 hours, and got ONE xp hit from MS. My experience was that it would fail, and by the time I could use it again, I'm way past the creatures that detected it.
I know why they did the change. But it really took away from a difficult to use skill. Either drop the time, or like Driza suggested, the higher you go up with it, the lower your delay. THAT
