Actually Rankor,


I think GM's statement is fairly clear. They generally don't discuss number specifics. In that case no Dev's question would not be answered. A vast majority of the community has not seen a weapon slice over 35%. Until it is proven one way or another by facts and screenshots can be altered. Thus the myth will continue until the actual Developers enlighten us it will stay a myth. This is my opinion. Flaming others for their views is not a contructive way to interact with others in your community. Agreeing to disagree is an aceptable alternative. If I ever get the slice, I will grin and say wow it's true. Or if we are enlightened by the Developers we know the limits of our abilities.


With the tinkering that is done with the code without the community knowing it would make the odd Myth slice possible. Just as fast as the tinkering is done it can also be removed. If the Developers were to give us a definite number for our max, then they would be tying their hands on their tinkering in some areas behind the scenes. If you understand what I am trying to say. Too many thoughts in my head right now.

I once got a 36% damage slice on a weapon. At least that's what the smuggler who sliced it for me said, but the numbers matched...

thats what gamediscussionforums are for- for players to try to figure out things on their own through discussions not to have the devs reveal EVERY single mystery about the game. if that were the way it was then they should closeforums and write a complete walk through hint book. But its great to hear it though anyway from a dev.


A little bit of mystery will not kill you.,

So is that a definitive answer on the "tools make no difference" debate?





I heard the same thing in one of the open forums at FanFest from the devs. So I'd say...


...umm YEP!

We were officially told 90% was the max for armor ... wouldn't it fall into the same catagory?

Thanks GM. That was very cool of you to come and state once and for all time that Tools do not effect the slice.

I sliced a guys LLCfor 37% the other day... not 35 or 32 or even 31... it was 37. Base damage on it was well over 1000.









Etiquette lessons #1; never use caps in your whole header or post.
#2; if a post/thread really pisses you off ... kill it with silence
#3; never write a post more than 3 paragraphs- unless it a guide
#4; never say "sticky this," others will if its worth a sticky.
#5; in the heading never say "devs please read."
#6; never ask for a rollback, just wont happen.
#7; Never use too many colors.
#8; Avoid quoting quotes of quotations, he said she said who said??

NikkiDial has it correct. The Master box improves slicing, but the tool quality and other things do not.





wow how long did it take us to get this reply from a Dev?

Thank you GM for finally giving us some answers, how hard would it be to actually put this in our master box, that we get a bonus to slicing at master.
