before flaming slicing staff(will this be all smugglers? or perhaps the smuggler correspondent(s)?) be well-informed. the smuggler whop sliced it for u probably told u that it was random, either speed or damage. no matter how much u wanted a damage slice, us smugglers got this little "slicing god" thing.. if u want it dmg-sliced, it is(nearly always)bound to get a speed slice. same goes for those stun-helmets. Eff slice becomes Enc slice.


but hey, if u don't want those Effectiveness sliced helmets, try to sell em on the forum. if they are some nice Eff slices, u might be able to sell em for quite some, so u can buy more stun helmets to have sliced.


side-note: 100k for a stun helmet? must be some stun-protection...

OK, couple of things for you:


1. Weapon is not useless.

2. Why are you posting in this forum? What do you expect us smugglers to do about it? Accept that some days you're the pidgeon, and some days you're the statue. Other than that, go post on a Dev forum or something.


Sorry, but I'm filing this under 'Whine'

Who ever thought it was a good idea to make slicing random is sadomasochistic andhas no appreciation for satisfiedcustomers. There is no possible way for you (soe staff)to make up for the sheer amount of time and effort that I put into this gun simply to have it ruined in the blink of an eye... well short of replacing the legendary spider fang and stabalizer in my inventory or resetting the gun to unsliced.


Thank you again. You will not be getting a christmas card from me this year unless you do one of the 2 things above.

its not like i care. im just glad they kept it bumped up in case someone working happened along these forums. if anyone of these ppl spent as many hours as i did on being a rifleman, they'd understand. /shrug







You clearly have never been a smuggler.....

1) Its random, and "Randomly" more likely to slice whatever you didnt want. Saying the words speed or damage in spatial within 5 minutes of a slice will result in the opposite happening. Italso can anger the slicing gods who will naturally insure its a 18% speed slice or 16% damage slice.

2) When the major changes to smuggler, being nerfs since launch, what makes you think we have a staff member in charge of smuggler

3) You clearly dont visit the Dev Tracker where the staff DO show up....because if you did, you would see that POSTING HERE TO GET THEIR ATTENTION IS LIKE USING A WHITE CRAYON IN A BLIZZARD IN ANTARTICA TO GET THE ATTENTION OF A SURFER IN CALIFORNIA.


ohhh

That's the way it goes, man. Slicing is random. You took the gamble, you didn't get what you wanted. That's life. Sorry to say; at least slicing it didn't destroy it outright, or reduce its effectiveness in combat. You still got an improvement.


If I were you, I would take that weapon and place it in a SDB and see what happens in the CURB. You may discover that the gun you think is "ruined" now is worth a lot of money later because of how things are changed. You just don't know.

Well...


I can agree with that line - but for the rest of it - you're definately complaining in the wrong forum. We know how people feel with bad slices and/or slices they didn't want, it's not like we need confirmation of it!!


ana-mo-cara probably came close to nailing it on the head with their comment (4th or so from the top I think).


Sorry about your slice, but if it makes you feel better - we've done way more bad slices than you'll ever see!


Cheers

Dear cherry red,


On behalf of the smuggling community I would truely like to appologise for shoddy workmanship my cohort applied to your weapon. I truely understand your complaint since the rifle is clearly only faster than it was before and really nothing else. In the future I'd suggest making your weapons as slow as possible thus making either slice saticfying. We as a community have not discussed slicing not being a random event at all at length and would like to thank you for bringing up this point to us. We'll try to knock off the spice for a few days and fire up some brain cells on this issue as it seems to be important to you. I know the crutch that riflemen face with their limited damage types and only up to ap3 as well as their lowly max and mins on said weapons. I truely am sorry for your loss.



Sincerely, (well sort of ...heh)

Who needs gambling tables when we have a slicing window? It's still the gambling game with the best odds of winning.........and ya dont really lose all that much.

wow, the smuggler community reminds me of the bounty hunter forums in fall of '03.


i thought perhaps a few smugglers would be like, yeah, we want to pick our slices, we could raise our rates. yeah, our profession is arguably the least enjoyable in the game compared to its potential. our profession needs a lot of work, and here is anotherreason why.


you guys dont care. point taken. just remember, i Y all of you.
