/bump this can not be allowed to slip from the first page

Ok, here's one from myDE experiences.

I'm on Lok hunting, before I had achieved Master. The Master who had been training me says

(Master) I'm so evil!

(me)What'd you do?

(Master)hehehehehe You'll see!

(about 30 seconds pass)

(Strange guy)Hi (Master) says you make droids?

(me) Sure do! What can I do for you?

(Strange guy) oki! Make rolling droid epsiode 1 for me!

(Me) Droideka? Unfortunately we can't make those

(Strange guy) oki! I want rolling droid episode 1 make everyone die! You can make?

(Strange guy)You make the droids right?

(Me) Yes, I make droids, but Droid Engineers aren't able to make those, just Probots.

(Strange guy) oki! How about Battle droid?

(Me) (Master) You are soooo dead

(Me) (Strange guy) No, I'm sorry, I can't make those either, just Probots.

(Master) LOLOLOLOLOL

(Strange guy) oki my friend tells me he sees rolling droids episode 1, you make?

(Me) No, I'm sorry. If you go into your skills panel, select all proffessions, and look through the columns on the right you can see what droids we can make.

(Me) What your friend probably saw were the Droidekka on Lok, they're NPC's, they attack you.

(Strange guy) oki! But Droid Engineer can tame them right? Like Creature guy?

(Me) Not that I've ever seen. Personally, I wouldn't get that close. They hit hard.

(Strange guy) oki! I go out there!

(Strange guy) Where is lok?

(10 minutes pass)

(Strange guy) Where you get metals make droids?

(Me) (Not about to explain harvesters to him) I usually buy mine from the bazaar.

(Strange guy) oki! Where to find Metals bazaar?

(Me) Just look for a red thing on the back of the shuttle port.

To this day me and my old Master joke about this guy

Last night, I had barely stepped off the starship ramp at the Dantooine Mining Base before getting asked about slicing. (Cntrl-1, yep... my **edit** Slicer tag is back up. heh. Oh well, let's see what the guy wants...)

SomeGuy: Hey, can you do some slicing for me?
Deebo: Maybe. Whaddya need done? (I said maybe, because I was low on AUKs.)
SomeGuy: Can you slice a container for me?
Deebo: Ah. Well, yes I can... but I recommend you find a Novice Smuggler to do it for ya.
SomeGuy: Why??
Deebo: I charge 3k per container.
SomeGuy: What?! For a container?! That's way too much!
Deebo: Yeah. Not a very good deal. Find a novice... I can almost guarantee they will do it for free.
SomeGuy: I don't wanna wait, there's no novices here.
Deebo: True, not many novices on Dantooine. Still... 3k per.
SomeGuy: Ok, maybe I'll have you slice just one.
Deebo: [blink] Um... ok.

So I slice the container. I can't resist looking inside... I have to see what he paid 3000 credits for. (A metal staff, btw.) I trade the container back to him for 3k.

Deebo: Enjoy.
Someguy: #@$%@! A staff! What a rip off!
Deebo: [shrugs] Sure you don't want me to do the rest?
Someguy: No!

Coulda been worse, I guess. He coulda got a broken datapad or something. I think I am gonna have to up my container price though, if it's only deterring 9 out of 10 it's not high enough. hehe.

-D

about the only story I got is...

So I /shout something like "Slicing containers for free! I need the xp bad! /tell Jerik"

in coronet

this guy /tells me and says "can you slice these 7 containers, I'll pay you"

WOW! I was very happy.

Sliced them. Gave them back, guy trades me 7k.

Guy: "All the stuff in these containers sucks. 2 of them were empty."

Me: "Not my fault. Just the way things works."

Guy: "Can I have my money back?"

Me: "sure why not, i got the xp."

/tips him 7k back

Guy: "Thanks, are you sure you sliced them right? You want to try again on the empty ones??"

/ignore guy

A friend and I were on Dantooine doing the Jedi missions in that jedi temple in the Northeast.

I'm inside the cave doing the light sider's missions and he's outside doing the sith's missions, when he /tells me.

CM Friend: Hey, he says I can use my hate as a weapon. Can you slice it for me?

Me: Sure, but I charge 8k per slice.

CM Friend: Geez, alright.

Me: Okay one sec... Friendliness improved, 28%. That'll be 8000 credits please.

CM Friend: Dammit, I wanted a nastiness slice...

A couple days ago I had just taken a Shadowpaw because my inventory was getting full. Then I decide I'd like to take a stroll over to Keren. As soon as I get there the downer hits and I start puking. There are like three people around me and one guy says, "Whoa, I didn't know you could get motion sickness in this game. Thats cool its so realistic." I was speechless and I think the other people were too.

The spice incap/suicide is AWESOME. Just thought I'd say that. Best use of an annoying piece of game mechanics ever.

I'll post my story here, even though it's not funny because of someone else. More like my own stupidity and how not everyone is a jackhole to their slicers.

I had just spent an hour with the worst "n00b group from HELL" on Dathomir and dragged my wounded carcass back into the outpost. I'm mad because I haven't accomplished squat, got killed twice, and made almost no cash or xp with the smacktards I'd had the misfortune of grouping with. Unfortunately, I have the (Slicer) title on over my head, and I start getting /tells. At this point I'm dead tired in real life, and all I want to do is go to bed, but I figure hey, why not make something out of nothing? I do a couple slices and make some more change and go to log out. I feel wrecked in real life, I just had the worst hour of SWG I've ever had, made no XP, got killed twice, and I'm ridiculously tired. I can't wait to log out.

Well, I get one last /tell. A Dosh asks if I can slice his flamethrower. I have exactly one WUK left, and I figure "why not?" I'm headed back to Coronet next time I log on anyway. He offers to heal my wounds in the med center when I'm done as we do the secure trade. "What a nice guy," I'm thinking. I tell him that I'm feeling generous because I really want to go to bed, so it's half price slice and if it's under 18%, it's free. This is the first nice person I've run into all night, so I want to do right by him.

I go to slice it, and no "slice" option comes up. /sigh. Poor guy. Now I gotta tell him that it's already been sliced. I start to tell him "Bad news man" and I bring up the radial one more time to check and make sure I'm not just retarded. Right as I do this, I get a little half-second lag spike which inadvertantly causes my cursor to stick and click on "Destroy." I have the confirmation turned off, so his flamethrower instantly goes *poof!*

This is the worst night of my SWG life. If there was an emote to stick my DH17 in my own mouth and pull the trigger, I'd do it.

So, I type "**edit**!" He thinks I'm upset because it's already sliced and tells me that it's okay he's not too disappointed and that he suspected it might've been sliced already. I send him a private /tell (because I don't want anyone else to know what I just oafishly did) and let him know that I accidentally just destroyed his flamethrower, and that I'm so sorry. NOW he's disappointed. He chased all over looking to buy that earlier tonight. I tell him where he can find some good weponsmiths, and ask him what it was worth and I will pay him. He tells me he paid 8k for it. Well, I'm beside myself with grief over this, so I /tip him 20k. He couldn't believe it and told me thanks, and that I shouldn't get too upset about it. Wasn't my fault and **edit** happens.

After all this, he still asks if I'd like to come with him and his friend to the med center so he can take care of my gimped HAM bars. I'm so taken aback by how nice this guy was about the whole thing that I tell him he's got free slices for life from me. He now sends me /tells whenever he needs a slice, and no matter how much I protest about his money being no good, he always insists on giving me at least something in return.

So in this hilarious thread of dumbasses, remember, sometimes the dumbass can be the guy holding the laser knife.

Oh, and P.S. keep the DESTROY confirmation turned ON. Always.

Cannae, so true. I lost 2 locked containers this way just trying to give them to a smuggler in the trade window. I was one of those dummies that took forever to trade. Until I found out that for some reason, most of the time I can't just left-click and drag an item from one window to another. I have to hold both mouse buttons to click and drag 80% of the time. Needless to say, that is when I turned destroy confirmation back on and will leave it on.

Listen... I read about 2 pages now, and most of you are pretty sad...

Most of these stories are new players that don't know everything, like you elite wannabe ppl surposedly do, and I'm sure most of you can't answer every question about every other class either.. So hello mister idiot /addignore...

some of these stories are fun, but what's wrong with "ignorant" ppl trying to understand exactly what smugglers can and cannot do? Seems to me most of you just have too little patience.. Not saying you should have any at all, but your stories might aswell just consist of one line "I refuse to answer any question I find stupid" and wheres the fun in that?

Now someone tell a fun story... =)

Guy: "can you slice my pistol?"

me: "Sure, it'll be 100c per % so that's a maximum of 2500c"

Guy: "ok cool"

*trades*

*slices for 23% damage*

me: "23% damage slice, that'll be 2300c please"

guy: "i cant afford that"

me: "give me all you have then and you can pay me the rest later...."

guy "cool! /tip 5"

Well my first story in this thread is this:

I need to make a new schematic for Molecular Clamps and Laser Knives, well I refuse to buy crafting stations to clutter up the bachelor pad. So as I always do I walk to one of my neighbors who happens to be a Master WS, who keeps his equip in his shop (like most artisans do). So Im making my schematics, when I see in spatial:

Him: What are you doing back here?

Me: Well I'm using your crafting station to make schematics for myself.

Him: Well just get your own station.

Me: Naw, why botherwhen I can use yours .

I know its not that funny, but I have never understood why smuggler buy their own crafting stations when they can just walk into other artisans houses and use theirs, cmon we're Smugglers for crying out loud!!!! This was the first and only time I have been caught doing this...lol.

The people who you try to help, yet they call you an idiot because they know a guy who got a slice from a guy who claimed that he always slices weapons at 40% and he knows this guy who saw it happen and don't believe you that 35% is the maximum slice probably deserve to be put on most people's /ignore lists and made fun of.
