In various "dungeons" in the game, there are un-attended magseal containers. When a player attempts to open them, it says something like "you do not have permission to access this container". My question is can a smuggler with slicing skill open these containers and retrieve something useful? If so, how do the devs stop someone from slicing the same container over and over again, considering that they are persistant.

I'm just curious because I'm trying to decide whether or not to go for smuggler and i'm looking for things that the smuggler would be useful for.

Do you have the location of these containers? I'd love to check them out.

In beta I saw some in a dungeon due south of Restuss on Rori,hidden ina hill just past the first river or two. I wasn't a slicer then and I haven't traveled back there since, at the time there was at least 3 locked containers in there like furniture, one on each level and the last guarded by a red cons boss and 8 bodyguards white-yellow cons to a novice pistoleer. no clue about reslice times on those, or goodies therein, the top floor crate should be easy enough for a smuggler to fight to...

I just checked out a group of these on Corellia (rogue CorSec base).

Even though I have Slicing 3, I still got the message about not having permission. Sounds like another bug.

They're probably just furniture... poorly named to entice smugglers, yes, but furniture nonetheless

I think they are actually supposed to be openable.. It says in the description that they can be opened with the key or with the proper slicing equipment or something to that effect. Also since they're only in "dungeons" similar to treasure chests in fantasy games, I'd guess that they have a similar purpose in this game.

It is ..I play on the Lowca server and went to the dungeon underneath the Volcano on Lok and all the chests there i couldnt open.

I have slicing 3 and plenty of nodes

Yes there are some of those containers in the cave just outside KorVella as well. When you examine them it says 0-20 items, so I am assuming that they are empty. A smuggler should be able to open them, but it appears splicing is bugged.

Around dungeons there are MagSeal containers. When you examine them it says you need a key or slicing skills to access them. After busting my hump to get to smuggler i went back to a cave and tried them.

I do not get a radial for slice nor will it let me open them. I just get the same message that I did before "You do not have permission to access this container".

Am I do something wrong? Is it another uncomplete 'feature'? Do I need to be higher level in slicing?

I'm guessing it's an incomplete feature.

I've seen the same thing, but you should check something first: /examine the magseal container and see if the contents is 0. All of the containers I've seen have had 0 contents. So, I don't know if someone had already looted them and therefore I didn't have permission or what. I'd be interested to hear if someone else can shed any light on this.

I see several magsealed container in the NS battlefield but there is no option to opent them. Are they openable and has anyone opened one?

No one has ever opened those magseals, they are always locked and unopenable by anyone. The loose debris there, however, always has something. The one by the log is usually bugged, but is sometimes openable.
