Did anyone give you a "heads up" on our little fix? Just curious on what their reasoning was on this. If not will you please make a formal inguiry?


Thanks

Yes, I would really like an explanation. I really started enjoying slicing when I discovered this trick (months and months ago), and am loathe to go back to pulling out one at a time. It makes inventory management and the overall time it takes to do a large order a royal PITA. And as many others have said, it just seems arbitrarily mean.

Guys this is really no big deal. You get to carry more with less space used up.

I think you have it all wrong. According to the patch notes they made it worse by making you pull each tool out ofa crate in order to do one slice. That means you now need to pull out one clamp, one WUK or AUK and knife for each item to slice therefore taking up more space in your inventory and taking more steps to accomplish one slice. In the past you just needed to pull our your knives and the AUK/WUK's and clamps could stay in the crates and would be pulled out automatically.

The dev's asked our patience, good.

They said they really amazed our tolerance, good.


No we got a small "friendly gift", for our patience and tolerance. No good.


Plz. Leave us alone, do not make our life harder.


P.s.: An fire the one who is responsible for this nonsence.

When pulling laser knives from crates, smugglers notice that majority of times that the last knife from the crate only has one charge.

We are finding ourselves having to warn new smugglers to make sure they put their crates in a backpack to avoid seeing their laser knives disapear too rapidly.

This is the only thingthe devs told me theywere sending to QA in the c-forum.


It's the only thing I can imagine them acting off of...


I was not made aware of this change.

Right there. You said "discovered this trick". That is a classic description for an exploitable bug. a "trick".


You can have your crates of clamps, auks, and wuks in a backpack still. When you slice, they will still get pulled from the crate. You just can't wear the container (backpack) that they are in and have them pulled.


See my post about alleiviating the confusion of this fix.

This C-forum post is up. I got a response already that they are looking into this from a CSR.

This is the only comment I've made here that could apply to this change...





Profession: Smuggler
  • You will no longer be able to slice an item by using a tool in a crate. You will have to remove it from the crate first.


    • This adds a ton of clicks to the slicing process and inventory management problems. This really hurts!


    Could I get a bit of an explanation why this change is going in *like this*?? Instead of focusing on preventing laser knives from being auto-pulled?


    Is there a chance that is what is happening... and that this is just bad documentation?


    Please assist, the smuggler forums are NOT happy.
