Looting our components is two things:



A) Uncreative. We've waited such a long time thatthis feels like a slap in the face to have to loot our components frommobs that we have no chance of getting access to, or killing,alone. Why would anyone have slicing tools in the DWB anyway?!


and


B) This is not in any way AT ALL what a Smuggler would do to gather tools for slicing. If anything, let us do smuggler missions and have slicing kits be the rewards. You can keep the spice shipment, or receive a slicing tool/kit, and some credits,for your reward. Higher tier kits for higher difficulty missions.



I'm gonna have to /sign this one.

I have until change a part of old smuggler, then i will strike of slices.If any guy ask me for slices i say not.I not slice a part of a piece, or slice is good or not slice.If all smugglers do the same nobody will have weapons and armours sliced and maybe this problem will change.


No more loots for do a job, we need tools for do a job, no a luky loots from all side of galaxies.


no more slices is a response

These dont work unless your a jedi. Plus the new loot system is a good idea. this stuff is supposed to be illeagal so looting is a good way to find it. We just need a loot system that works.






nota flame, but i just want to know how you equate illegal with loot...


one has nothing to do with the other. i agree that sliced items should be somewhat rare, especially the ones that are sliced to be really powerful. but looting tools/components to perform slices does not reflect the illegal nature of slicing in the slightest bit.


a better way to reflect the illegal nature of slicing would be to have anAFTER SLICING risk/penalty system, which would make people think twice before they got a slice.

Might as well give it up. They don't care. They aren't listening. They aren't going to be changing anything.
