I think it's still as random as always...just a run of bad luck?

Most of my slices have been about the same as far as I can tell.

Check it out here is what i have noticed since after publish 9 and amounts

Full Suits of Adv. Comp Armor = 27 suits

Avg is 5/9 slices for encumberance almost always over 25% most of them in the mid 30%

None and I mean absolutely none of my slices for effect went over 25% that is out of a total of 243 armor piece slices now granted this isn't the 1000 armor pieces that alot of people say are needed for even beginning to assume something is wrong. I still feel that there is something arye here *stealth nerf maybe with pub 9*

Weapons More then I can count literally 4-5 crates of vks for various individuals and multiple odds and ends to be fair i will say 150 items weapons wise

Slices mostly hit for damage unless they were extremely low speed weapons like 8.0 t21's

speed slices were rare and even had 2 of them one at 8%, one at 11% but avgs low -mid 20 on speed

dmg slices i recall and keep track of perfect or near perfect slices i had 7 slices for 35% dmg and 12 for 33-34% all the rest 30% and under

so weapons I am feeling if you slice for speed then it isn't as high dmg seems to be the jackpot on weapons.

as i stated not enough to really draw a definate conclusion but if anyone is a ws on tempest and wants to toss me 1000 weapons to slice and materials to slice them or make the stuff to slice them i will gladly do it to test it out thouroughly same goes with as.

Ok, I've sliced thousands of weapons as a master smuggler, and I've never gone below 15%, if you are indeed getting less than 15% at master smuggler, I don't suppose you could contrive a way to have a screen shot showing your skill tree and the percent sliced?

I was slicing someone's armour yesterday and got an 11% effectiveness slice, so I don't think this is some freak anomaly. Next time it happens (Force forbid), I'll take a screeny.

I to got a sub 15% slice yesterday, if it happens again i will screenshot it.

After reading your Post I feel that thye have done something to the formula for teh slice..From waht little program language I know it is easy to program in the random factor for what type of slice you get.. once you work out the type of slice you get it is fairly wasy to work out the formula for the percentage of Slice...

I think this is the way in which they are going to work in the changes that thye wish to drop on smuggler.. for slicing .."" They will turn around and say that they are fixing smuggler and that they are giving a chioice in the slice we get But to get that choiuce we loose the max % we have been gettin.. "" I'm not to sure about you But IF we don't get any Reply about this could Some tell us if they have screwed up the "MASTER SMUGGLER SLICE"..

Well as a master Smuggler PRE Publish 9 I could Guarentee all People I was SLicing For That "" I "" Would Get at LEAST aminimum of 6 out 9 Encumbrance Slice's.. for all Armour I sliced.. I don't know if it was a fluke of the system or whether it was the system of slicing I conducted.. It was working for me..

If I every sliced anything less than 6 of 9 peice for encumbranceI would offer a refund of the slice fee and I have never had to offer a refund..

I ahve been getting lucky you could say teh past few times. yesterday i sliced 4 suits of stun comp. About 4 slices on each set were 35%+ to encumbrance. I even had a 48% encumbrance

I have just finished slicing 500 guns. I have recived the usual spread between 13 and 35 %.

Though i did get-

34% damage on two lightning cannons

35% damage on a lazer rifle

34% speed and damage on two flamers

Math has never been my strong suit but I figure I have recived a little over 30% above 30 and 18% below 20. i can deafanatly live with this!!!

Sorry if I wasn't clear, I know of the 11% on armor, but anything lower than 15% on a weapon I have never seen at Master Smuggler.

That's what I need to see.

Life is but a gamble and I have weighted dice.
Master Smuggler and master TKA maybe master pistoleer but who knows how long it will before I finally switch from unarmed.

ALL.....

I've been recording all of my slicing stats since I made Master Smuggler over 4 months ago. Finally this weekend I put them all into a data file and wrote a C program to parse the file and compile the stats. Here are the results with a few comments:

1388 TOTAL WEAPON SLICES:

DAMAGE slices: 682 Average slice = 25.35%

1910 TOTAL ARMOR SLICES:

OBSERVATIONS AND COMMENTS:

-- Notice that slice types for both weapons and armor are fairly close to 50-50, as expected.

-- Notice the drop-off in numbers at either end of the scales:
Slices are NOT evenly distributed near the ends of the Percentage ranges!

-- Notice that I have NOT ever gotten a 35% Effectiveness slice.

-- Not sure why the large number of 24% Effectiveness slices (seems a little out of whack)

Anyway... thought this might be of general interest to the community
