Thread: NOTHING effects slicing! It is RANDOM. There are no hidden patterns nor changes to the system!

So Waarangel...
its not an exploit cause you have shown CSR's? Yet none of the rest of us can reproduce this in slicing in the designed fashion. By your own admission it has nothing to do with resources... Ummm....
EXPLOIT! lol
I smell poo doo somewhere.

oh and by the way Waarangel, all your post will result in is customers whining even more, I can here it now "I want a 30%+ slice, cause I know it can be done, a smuggler on x server does it, why cant you?" Thanks for that ton of **edit** mate, good job

As I said, I knew there would be flames. I do apologize for your negative views. Caylin has indeed answered my post via PM. I have explained in detail the technique to him there and hope he will test it thoroughly for himself. I look forward to him posting his findings here.
Again, if we didn't all want a particular edge over anyone else, why aren't we running around shooting people with CDEFs? Seriously, think about your words before you flame.
We all want to be the best. Just not all of us can be, or it wouldn't be the best anymore would it?

Hi all. Allow me to introduce myself. I am N'Varra Wren, the "idiot" smuggler from Eclipse who guarantees a minimum of 30% slicing. As I tried to explain there, slicing is NOT 100% random. I will explain some of what I say, and some I will not, which of course, will cause the "lie" and "exploit" meters to go up for everyone. So take from this what you will....
blah blah blah...
....Roleplay CAN be fun, and can having a well earned reputation. Still makes me chuckle everytime someone kneels. It's the little things that make me smile.

Ok...you know how they say the real trick with magic is to distract the audience with one hand while the "trick" is actually taking place in the other...
Well...that's the feeling I got while I was reading that post. There's so much irrelevent information in there, and I got so bogged down and bored reading your "backstory" and such, that I just didn't care by the time I got to the end.
RPing doesn't change the fact that SLICING IS COMPLETELY RANDOM! Sure...I can RP 30%+ Damage slices all day long...but that doesn't change the fact that the system reports a 20% slice or whatever.
I don't know what you THINK you stumbled upon, but considering countless other Smugglers have ALL reported the sheer randomness of Slicing, I don't see why you would be singled out as being a special case so that you, and you alone, would be blessed with this knowledge.
I'll wait for Caylin to post his findings...if there's anything to find. But for the time being, I'm going to take the same stand with you that I take with all of the other "I know a secret that you don't know" Smugglers, and say YOU'RE FULL OF CRAP.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Let me ask you a question. The first person to discover bleed and FD for our profession, and didn't tell people this technique, was that person called a liar too?
I am done with this thread until Caylin reports his findings.

You don't have to print your "technique" here, but I have one question about it
Does it involve more than "Clamp + WUK + Cut wire + Cut wire"?
If it does, then maybe you should ask Taurin about it, and not a CSR
The same CSR's that award buffbots profession badges...
I'm sure Caylin will be able to shed light on your "technique" and it's legality...
Criminey, next thing you'll do is tell us all that you offer your "guaranteed 30%+" slices for 100 cr per%....
...don't mind me, I'm crabby today...

As mentioned, I have indeed received a PM regarding this technique.
If this works, it would not be considered an exploit in my opinion.
However, it does rate on a 1-10 scale... an 11 on my weird sh**-o-meter.
It's not easy for me to get to the point I can pull this off, I am currently asking if an alternative to a few things will be just as acceptable.
It may be a week before I can get around to getting a real answer for you. It's going to take a while for me to get things the right way.

Heh, Myhunch says it turns out negative, and then an argument over materials/location/server/temperature ensues...
I am not negative, just that if your so confident why not just post the "technique". By your own admission this gives you an "advantage", so why mention it at all? and why in such a bizzare rambling RP'ish post?
I will be the first one to appologise and eat **edit** if I am incorrect, I just know the BS that these theories cause with my, and everyone elses customers.

Honestly, it is no bother to me whether or not her precious "technique" works
I don't slice for the public, I slice for me and that's about it
Especially considering the amount of work that apparently goes into it
I'll deal with the occasionally 25% slice as opposed to 30%+
Not THAT much of a difference....
But that is me....

I agree with the poster above me, if you want an edge, why would you tell 3 other smugglers on your OWN galaxy?

My BS detector is so far off the scale, it's not even funny...
I'm just waiting for Caylin to report his findings now to confirm what my gut is telling me...
