LOL, can't even go BH and hunt Jedi -- they borked the droids with this publish too.
That's why I gave up Bounty Hunter the first time. Is there no where to go that's safe besides the "Cancel Subscription" button?

I must say that even knowing this was coming it was still the most frustrating of experiences. I agreed to slice for some random person and checked my inventory to make sure I had the tools to do it and then clicked slice only to be greeted with "you need a wuk to do that". I just stared at the screen for a few minutes checking my inventory over and over, even moved my crates to my backpack and back. Then just as my customer was getting annoyed with me for taking so long I realized this crazy change went through.
Then I found out like everyone else that not having contributed to the ruining of the game via hologrinding means that you can't take advantage of the new content for a few weeks until those that did get their Jedi's. Then I noticed that its now impossible to find any stores thanks to the vendor nerf taking them all off the map. On Lowca there are 6 weaponsmiths on naboo's map.... 6!!!
After just a few hours in the game this evening it makes me wonder why they didn't name this publish "don't bother playing until JTL comes out, we'd rather you stay off the servers and save us some bandwidth".
Trying to stay positive. Gets harder every day.

THis is a funny "issue": now, the more item you want to be sliced, the more expensive you'll pay

The autopulling from crates was the result of a change to a different part of the system. I have support from the team to change it back. its just a matter of time now. Sorry for the inconvenience and yes we do love smugglers
Smuggler_Caylin wrote:**UPDATE AUGUST 13th, 2004 from Stratics Chat Log**[18:47] *Jospre* Why do Smugglers get no love. Currently on test a stealth Nerf went in that prevents WUK's, AUK's, PLK's, MolClamps, etc. from pulling auto from crates. What was the reasoning for this move as it now really slows down the slicing process expecially for large orders.[18:48]
Dead one?
You know what? i didn't tried it yesterday because i KNEW the problem will still be there...
I watch for TC reports
I told you previously (in a post) that right after patch 10, we will have to pull all our tools
I knew it...
No, i wait for a fix....
mmm, maybe with the next Droid Engy revamp where they will be able to dismantle super battle droids to be able to build their one SBD....
Only thing i do now : delegating FP...
Luckily, my weaponsmtih/armorsmith/merchant is on holidays right now, so no massive slice to do, or i would really lose my nerves after the first crate...

Im not slicing any large orders until this gets fixed (well, I might if someone pays me huge amounts of credits, but otherwise you can forget it ). It really is dissapointing to have them tell us explicitly that this will not go live in the dev chat and for it to hit us anyway.

I got to throw the BS flag at the devs love statement.
We all know they are full of it.

why i outa :waves fist angrily:
this serves no purpose WHAT SO EVER. i thought i would pull my slice tools out in prep for some slices but even after only pulling 20 clamps out along with 20 auks, wuks and knives it was annoying. This is one of those nerfs that was put in on purpose, to make us angry and upset so someone somewhere could laugh, well fine laugh it up furrball, no slices for you

What no-life loser went through and one-starred everyone?
Instead of creating a new ranking system for the board, they could be fixing smuggler.

Figure I'll get flamed, but...
Why do you have to pull out all the WUKs/AUKs and Clamps that you need for the entire slicing session at once? You're already in your inventory window....why not just double click on the Upgrade Kit crate and the Clamp crate, pull knives as needed and slice your item?
Say I've got 5 pieces of armor someone wants sliced. I pull my knife (10 charges, so one will do). Double click the AUK crate and the clamp crate. Slice piece one. Double click the AUK crate and the clamp crate. Slice piece two. And so on. Does it *really* take such an incredibly long amount of time to double-click? If I want to use some other kind of item that's crated, I have to pull it out (exception being crafting).
I may be alone, but this smuggler isn't going to call this a nerf. It's a small change that doesn't really change the way I play very much. A nerf would be if these items couldn't be crated anymore. I'd rather focus efforts on having ways to affect the percentage of the slice than crying because I have to double-click on a crate.

Toss your tool crates into your hot keys. F1, F2, F3, slice. F2, F3 slice (F1 being PLKs.) It's not that hard to do, and you can charge people more if you'd like for the extra time you're wasting (that's what I'm doing.) /shrug
