man between this and the static buffs and the vehicle calling this is my favorite patch EVER









Seems like some people are fartoo easily satisfied. In effect, if those changes you mention were the only thing present in the publish, would you be happy with that as one month's work? Because thats what it sounds like.


Getting back to the matter at hand, I've noticed that either some players are lying scum, or not all of my sliced weapons have been affected by the fix. I took a krayt scatter pistol to a smuggler yesterday, the gun info had absolutely no mention of being sliced, yet the smuggler (who shall remain nameless) told me he wasn't able to slice it

Please add the tags to the vendor details, which is really where you need the tag the most.

Glad to hear that there is a work around this, but hopefully you can free the kind vendor owners that take the time to do this from having to.

This works fine when the item in question is in your inventory.

However, this tag doesn't show up when you are inspecting the item on a vendor before you buy it. It should.

Actually I took an unsliced armor piece to the best slicer I know on our server, prior to the patch, and he said that he tried to slice it and it couldn't be. He gave it back to me. Yesterday I looked at it and it said "sliced" even though we both know he didn't get any info from the slice itself. He absolutely wouldn't have lied to me (it was a 35% encumbrance slice), so I think it's a reporting bug with slicing, rather than anyone trying to deceive you.

1. The tag is perfectly working.

2. We need to see this info in the weapons and armors on the vendor, too.

works great, but why a paragraph? couldnt you just have "Sliced: Yes"


maybe the tag could tell us what the slice was for? ie: sliced: yes, Damage by 25%

So much for a Smuggler revamp, maybe they should just rename us, it would take less time and be easy to do.
"Useless" would be my first choice as a name suggestion.


of course at this point there is no reason to revamp anything. SOE should just shut the game off.

Has anyone tested this in a trade window?


Where else is there an 'examine' possible?

First of all, Wonderful Job. It's nice to see, hope it was not to difficult.


The paragraph is a little much. I think that a Yes or a No is sufficent.


and as far as the requests for knowledge of how much the slice is for, don't give numbers. Maybe as much as Speed or Damage was modified. Smuggling is a shady business. It's up to the consumer to watch his items. Slcing is not an exact science.


Case and Point. = Someone outside the starport of Coronet. Was looking for someone to give a weapon a 30% slice. Anything less than this was unacceptable. Claiming he had paid over 400k for his weapon and wanted it to be sliced properly. Lasted I checked there was no way to ensure a % of slice. If there is a way, I actually request it be removed. it should be a random business. To many I have seen people are getting on the I want a fixed boost on things, and to be honest it's really is getting annoying.


The same thing happened with Doctor buffs. I think they should be exactly like stimps, as you get better you should be able to give better buffs. But even a doctor slips every now and then.

Sliced: Yes or No would of be sufficient, the paragraph on the legality of slicing would be better placed in theknowledge baseand as information on the loading screens.

Yup, got my Rep.Blaster and T21 displaying sliced status "...may draw unwanted attention..."

BUT: I have been searched twice for "contraband items" and got the message "This one is clear" twice. Am I just hiding the guns in my deeeep pockets or is it a bug?
