Smuggler Archive

Another thing to keep in mind is that during beta the smuggler profession was completely revamped because most of the lines didn't work at all. Until the end (I want to say less than a month before release) you couldn't even get exp in 2 of the lines. Also, the smuggler trainer was broken and wouldn't train you to be a novice smuggler. I don't know if this guy got 45% slices or not, but with this game anything is possible so far. Also, when I took slicing 4 my slicing %'s went down dramatically on average. It wasn't just luck! I made a bunch of clamps and then dropped to slicing 3 and amazingly enough it went back to where it was. Enough people have stated seeing the same results that slicing 4 is broken.

Ok well I'm now sure it doesn't have to do with droid/crafting stations being present. I crafted all night with both my crafting droid present and stored. The percentages didn't seem to be higher with the droid, they were about the same.

Im not a smuggler but I must say this could possibly be the most fun ive had reading apost. Its like watching a murder mystery unfold

FYI, Smuggler Trainer in beta was activated with about 2 weeks left in beta. There wasn't a lot of time to test anything. Lucky me, I had enough merchant xp to skip right past containers

Haven't seen 45% yet on weapons, definitely seen 40-44%. It is possible.

thats what im saying lol...

I sliced aDX2 for a guy yesterday and got a 14% increase in damage. Okay, this was a little bit of a rare occurence (and I felt a little bad), but afterwards he was obviously disappointed and said that he should've went to this other smuggler who sliced his scatter pistol for an 48% increase; however, the guy wasn't online at the time. I then asked him if I could see the weapon...of course, he didn't have it on him.

I really don't believe it's at all possible to slice above 40% on a weapon...if anybody can prove me otherwise, upload the screenshot. Additionally, I don't think the quality of materials does anything to the quality of the slice. I have used the same materials on 4 guns (WUK and clamp from creates and one laser knife) and have ranged anywhere from16% to 28% on them. I think people are overcontemplating this whole thing way too much...slicing is just blind luck.

Little to no movement here ... is a > 35% slice possible?

Is the mythical 45% slice a slice of pie in the sky?

If the next line is true ...

And the previous line is false ...

Where does that leave us?

It was Sherlock Holmes saying the following phrase:

"If all logic fails, illogic is the only solution."

This being saied. I do believe that there is slicing up to 45%. But I do believe it's a bug. Something maybe only one person knows (or others know too but don't want to share it in public) and want to hide from devs, a possible nerf or other players to copy it.

And THIS being saied. I grant them that mystery.

HaHa I have seen Elvis he was in the cantina in Mos Eisly on Tattoine.

As far as 45% slices on weapons I dont believe them.

Rodents of unusual size?.....I don't believe in them.

I've sliced every day, all day, for the last few weeks and still have yet to see anything over 35% on weapons. I use 99% experimented knives and clamps and 90%+ experimented WUK's. I get regular 45% sliced on armor, but never over 35% on weapons. In addition, no one that I know has done over 35%.

I won't believe it until I see it. The fact that it was mentioned by a dev that 35% was the highest on weapons only confirms this.

I believe that the people who claim they have gotten over 35% on a weapon slice have actually gotten those percentages from slicing armor, and either through wishful thinking or an outright attempt at wanting to deceive themselves andthe publicthey claim they got it from slicing a weapon. Either way, it only suggests to me that either they are of questionable character (i.e. simply dishonest) or they suffer from some sort of problems with making simple visual observations(i.e. if 9999 people see a cloud -- what they see is a UFO). As far as what screen shots some people may have provided as "proof" of slicing over 35% on a weapon, I believe that what they did is simply cut and paste the percentage from an armor slice and claim they got it from slicing a weapon.
