With this change, which is terrific, will the Crackdown be more felt?
I've yet to be scanned or saluted, or see any probots or shuttles out in the middle of nowhere.
I do see a lot of troopers out and about.
I'll go look for myself when I log into TC later today.

to make its description complete
Your local slicer told you its speed efficiency had been increased by 24%

Hi Th,
Just curious as to whether or not this tag will be placed on sliced armor as well.

Sorry, was going to say that the Sliced Weapon Tag works as advertised.

Fantastic! Great description, keep it the way it is. No need to add the percentages. Otherwise an otherwise FINELY crafted item might be overlooked just because it received a bad slice. The current description is sufficient, and very RP like.

While I agree that would be cool, I am guessing that the information on type and percentage of slice is not stored anywhere and that the item's properties are just permanently changed. This means that making that information available would require database changes that may take more work than the value they provide.

This notice works fine on everything I have sliced from weapons to armor. It is backwards compatible.

Can someone please check that the tag appears in the details window of an item on a vendor?

It works great. ty for adding and dont change anything. I have sold a thousands of weapons. The % sliceaweapon had is irrelevant, what matters is the final product.

Let me just echo this sentiment. While I haven't sold thousands of weapons I have sliced 'em. Putting slice % result on the weapon is silly for 2 reasons:
- if you're dealing in post-sliced weapons then it really doesn't matter if its a perfect weapon with a crappy slice or a decent weapon with the perfect stats - if they're the same in the end it doesn't matter how they got there.
- If you look at things like weapon speed slices %ages are totatlly useless data. If a master slices a 2.0s weapon there are only 4 or 5 possible outcomes *not* 20 different outcomes. Comparing a pistol with a 19%** speed slice with one of the same manufacture that got a 20% or 21% speed slice an you will see *no* difference in the weapons - they'll all be 1.6s.
** i didn't redo the math, so the range could be off by one or 2 %, but you get the idea
