Well, as most know now, there's a new slicing system in town . When TC is up, please log on and help test! You can learn more and give your feedback here.


I've managed to test out the new system, but only got to run through the armour slicing before the server came down, although I did make a mad dash for a weapons vendor and make some screenshots of each slicing option's details for a VK.


If you've any questions after reading the post linked above, or what's below, check out TC Changes Q&A thread by Ragnaat.

Armour



Enhance Resilience:

Normally armour begins to suffer from reduced effectiveness at less than 50% max condition. This slice will improve the armour’s performance under extreme decay. The armour will not begin to suffer the reduced effectiveness until it reaches the level of decay shown below.



OrderConditionCustomisation rating

140%25%

230%25%

320%25%


The first column is the order in which the slice must be made; the second is the changed percentage of condition at which the armour piece begins to suffer from the effects of decay; the third column being the amount added to the piece’s customisation rating.





Improve Impact Deflection:

This slice reduces the amount of damage/decay a piece of armour takes from each hit by 50%. Higher Ranks in this slice increases the likelihood of damage reduction.



OrderChanceCustomisation rating

120%25%

240%25%

360%25%


The first column is the order in which the slice must be made, the second is the chance in percentage terms of each hit’s effect on the armour’s condition being reduced by half, with the third column being the amount added to the piece’s customisation rating.




Add Hardening

This slice gives the armour a chance to absorb 50% of incoming damage to the player. This bonus does not stack with other armour pieces. It only applies if the sliced armour piece is hit in combat (I.E. a head piece bonus of 1% does not result in an overall bonus of 2% as each piece offers 1% for the area of body it covers).


OrderChanceCustomisation rating

11%15%

22%35%

33%50%



The first column is the order in which the slice must be made, the second is the chance in percentage terms of each hit’s damage to the character being reduced by half, with the third column being the amount added to the piece’s customisation rating.




Armour Break Reduction

This slice reduces the effect of the Armour Break ability when this armour piece is hit in combat.



OrderReductionCustomisation rate

125%20%

250%20%

375%20%



The first column is the order in which the slice must be made, the second is the amount in percentage terms that the Armour Break effect is reduced, with the third column being the amount added to the piece’s customisation rating.






Weapons


Increase Attack Speed:

This slice increases the attack speed of a weapon.


OrderTotal BonusCustomisation Rating

12%5%

24%15%

36%30%

410%50%


Enhance Damage

This slice increases the weapons damage range.



OrderTotal BonusCustomisation Rating

1 2% 5%

2 4% 15%

3 8% 30%



Increase Critical Strike Chance

This slice will give the weapon a small base chance to hit vital areas for double damage; this bonus is applied in addition to any critical hit chance supplied to an attack.



OrderChanceCustomisation Rating

1 1% 15%

2 2% 35%

3 3% 50%

Oops, egg on my face there it seems , some good questions there . I'll be posting in detail what each slice does though, which I don't see therefully in either thread... please feel free to beat me with the "stupidity stick™" if I'm missing them somehow .


And er, thanks for the 'welcome back' quip . I've been distracted by graduating, preparing for and talking with someone about making something out of my university project for their company (that er, didn't go too well ) and trying not to whince perminently at the extremely huge inflamed ball that is now my left tonsil. I've not been totally neglecting my duties though, as you'll see with two posts I'm making a bit later

Does anyone know if slicing will be on a frog or live-server (bria, kettemoore, azhia, ext.) test server? Because I really don't feel like grinding up to smuggler just to test something, and otherwise, they will get little feedback.

The new slicing system's back up on TC btw, and no idea on whether it'll go to servers including frogs

I love these changes. It will allow for a tonne of customization to peoples stuff to suit their play styles. No longer will damage be king!

Now to see if I can get a critical hit slice on my lightsaber
