Smuggler Archive

Ya stickied it Wes? hehe thanks

Can others do some testing on this? find out if its just speed PUP slicing or if its all PUPs

I know for a fact that it messed up one of my guns cuz I had two identicle guns that I had speed pups on. One gun sliced fine and the other was pretty much ruined. DPS went frm like 350 to 280 or something like that... it was horrible.

This would probably explain what I experienced with two identical weapons, too.

Also, is it possible to slice bio-linked weapons?

Also, I'd never even equipped my proton carbine and I couldn't slice it.

if the weapons biolinked, no. that is in the FAQ

your proton carb may have been sliced pre-19

I really don't think it was sliced before, though. I got it with my Jedi and dropped it in my house when I cancelled it. It sat there for a while then when I reactivated my Smuggler I got the radial to come up, but couldn't slice it. I also had a bag of DOT weapons from before the revamp which I know were 100% unsliced because I was afraid of weapon decay back then before there were anti-decay kits. I got the radial to come up on all of them but could only slice about half of them or so.

But it doesn't matter anymore it's all gone. I should have /bugged it I suppose. Oh, well.

WellI hope they throw in a fix to repair any weapon this bug messes up otherwise its killed a really good pistol

*cries for his DL44*

the thing is your not supposed to be able to slice with the pup on at all but it doenst stop u from doing it n e more

so b4 u slice remove the pup np

This was a bug that was being exploited pre-CU -- PUPed weapons could be sliced for better-than-intended results. Then SOE fixed it so you had to remove the power-up before slicing.

Apparently the bug is back in game, but obviously no one would want to slice a PUPed weapon based on your experience, so maybe this is a low priority bug at this point.

However, they really should reinstate the code that forced you to remove the PUP before slicing -- people who don't know what effect this has will lose a good weapon, as you apparently did.

Yep, had same thing happen to a very nice HC Scatter, went from 322 dps to 251 cuz I sliced it with a speed pup on it, that was what my post was about a day or so ago but I didn't mention the pup part, didn't think it mattered since I had slice so many before with pups on still. Anyway I reported it an response I got back was they were aware of the issue but had no ETA on the fix, imagine that.

Did a tier3 damage slice on a damage pup'd pistol. Got the message it was already passed the cap, didn't get the slice, LOST the illegal core booster.

OMG you poor soul. That bites the bit fat grease piece of fat on a nasty steak!

The real victims are the ones who don't read the forums.

For the record... it was my proton carbine he broke. Oh well.

I can get another one of those. Much, much harder with a really good DL-44XT though.
