I'm interested in seeing if you can slice a top notch, 1300 dmg rifle up to 1400 DMG. Any examples from the test server yet?

You could (just, you'd reach 1404 dmg)

Good luck getting the two loot drops to do it.

Oh and there are many threads in this forum with details on the new slicing system.

comments with that in mind.

You TC guys made a run of a high level dungeon and looted ONE component right? What level was it? 3? 4?

The other components are supposed to drop pretty regularly from random mobs throughout the galaxy, so I don't see a problem with rarity.

I really believe that the level 4 components need to be RARE. Not everything in this game needs to be easy to get to, otherwise there is no challenge.

I agreee - but the reward better be worth it - not an 8% damage increase. Those numbers are not making me excited about the new slicing system.

That's the problem.

I've no problem with the t3/4 slices needing rare stuff (they should, that'll make them valuable), but having earned a few thousand fp myself and getting nothing (aside from a load of posters and junk weapons and stuff) while someone else earned 12k fp and ended with 1 single drop isn't regularly in my opinion.

I was just thinking the same thing. Thought I missed a memo there.

So again:

In Space?

Yeah, Hogarth and I have been trying to reproduce, but your fellow correspondents good fortune hasn't been repeated yet

Edit: To be clear - the imp and merc were ground - the pirate trap ship was in space.

Wait... P trap boggies are at most, what? Tier 2?

I assume that was only a Tier 2 slice component... ?

If you don't want me to "play the forums," then I suggest you make time playing the game more rewarding and less repetitive than "playing" here!

That would be crazy if it dropped a teir 4 component. I would laugh so hard.

There are very, very few of anything that has dropped, we aren't that bothered about the tier 4 stuff as far as drop rate goes, but to be honest who cares about tier 4 if you can't get the tier 2 and 3 that you need before you can use the tier 4 one?

The new slice kits are dropping in space? That could be really cool. Give me good reason to get more "stick time".

We slaughtered thousands of NPC's of all varieties over the weekend and nothing dropped. That's a little too rare. We tried everything from meatlump level up for the 'regular' drops (which I would consider to be the tier 2 stuff). I heard one report of a mercenary on Lok dropping something but could not reproduce it, and I don't think anybody else could either. This stuff that is supposed to be lower level is just not dropping often enough for the level.
