That is not proper english and the structure of the sentence leaves the reading completely in the dark to what the meaning behind the question is.Message Edited by DigiDante on 07-03-2005 10:42 PM
Ok, so the sentence is not structured right, but in his defense, not everyone who plays this speaks english as a first language, so mabe we should back off of ppl for bad grammar.....Its the message is more important that how it is typed....(unless of course it is complete gibberish, but I understood what was being asked)
I didn't get it... lol
I know theres alot of people who play that do not have english as their first language. I wasn't rippin the guy a new one, I was mainly stating that I was in the dark after reading it lol.

Cool sig, but wouldn't it be easier to just say revamp SWG?
Or am I just stating the painfully obvious again.....

I find it more effective to list everything I think needs fixing. Plus some stuff still works. Like the /quit command.

When I used to slice...like the first year and a half since Live...I would simply stand outside Coronet or Theed starport with amy MS title up, not say a word, and have a line form. I could slice continually for hours this way.
I tried last night and tonight to do the same. There were NO other Master Smugglers anywhere near me and I had all of ONE person in three hours ask for a slice. He inquired then left when I could only give him the first two levels for about 50k (and I thought I was being generous using a simple tool kit and only charging 50k).
I think I'll sell off all my components and go back to not slicing...it really isn't any more fun than when I gave it up before and doesn't seem to interest the other players as much.

Slicing should not rely on loot, this game is begging to resemble more and more the loot camp games we all tried to get away from.

What is an option to loot and keeping slicing uber rare?
I had the idea of asteroid materials but seriously... it would have to be high amounts. But that doesn't make sense... asteroid materials? alot of em? slicing?
What is another option?

No kidding, drove me crazy in World of Warcraft. Went tailor by a friends request and the only way to get Linen was to kill stuff over and over again. It wasn't I couldn't get any, I got plenty of Linen, but it drove me crazy about where did all these mobs keep getting them!

I'd even be fine with making Simple Toolkits craftable, with the hi-end components still loot-drop. ItDOES have 'simple' in its name, bty. Thatwould allow smugglers to fully customize a weapon on an 'average' level(lvl 2 speed, lvl 2 dmg...4%spd, 4%dmg, 85% customized), while leaving the really good slices still rare.Frankly, its embarassing tobe sporting your Master Smuggler tag, and all you can say to your client is, "I can slice lvl 1 only, unlessYOU have the proper component." They simply laugh and walk away. With that said,I'd love for the hi-end components to be mission-based over loot-drop,but that's just me(probably never happen).

I'd love for the parts to be mission based ALSO. Allow others to loot them but allow us to transport the items in missions and allow us to skim a few here and there.

Crafting of the Simple Toolkits seems to be one of the better solutions, it would help keep the high end slices somewhat rare, while making slicing a little more available. However, obtaining the higher level components SHOULD NOT be all the risk that is involved.
Crackdown NPCs need to be issued a set of cajones before they're sent out. Rate the punishment of sliced weapons based on the level of slices and/or percentage of customization, meaning harsher punishments for higher level slices or higher percentages of customization. Potential Confiscation as the highest level of punishment from a Crackdown team, as long as there exists the ability to get your gear back. Then, they need to reinstitute weapon/armor tuning as another form of risk, but lower the rate at which your gear gets out of tune.

i dissagree with the tuning issue, but they need to up the risks.
infact they need to redo the manner in which crackdown npc search, and you should get options to attack, try to slip past scan cool content stuff.

Slicing SUX!!! It is horrible
Everyone who said they were refusing to slice were right! Don't Slice! Stay on strike and don't give up!!
Don't let the fact that I've earned over 2 million slicing, includingpeople happily paying over 500k for a single weapon shake your confidence!
In fact, you should get more people to join in your protest! Make them stop buying my Simple Took Kits off the bazaar for 15-20k a piece! It is horrible that we should have to put up with this.
That's right! Whatever you do, don't slice! If anyone asks you about slicing, have them talk to me and I'll "explain" all about it!
