Anyone know what the change was to crit chance slicing?

All the change was, was it made critical damage actually calculate properly with the slices.
A critical damage shot should be nearly double the damage of a regular shot, this was never happening prior to the change.
If it is working properly, I don't know, I don't play anymore.

Not sure if it is double, but I know it is anywhere from 1.1 to 2.0x the damage of the original output, just for that 1% or what ever % slice you got

The crit slice just increases the chance you will get a critical hit.
A critical hit is twice the damage, -CRITICAL- will show over the targets head.

Well I tried it last night with my 10% critical chance '44. I tested it for a long time and watched very carefully but never saw the damage fix. It was hitting for normal even though it said +critical+ over my target- just like before. Then the server went down and I downloaded another very long patch. I tried it again and still could not get the extra damage when it said +crit+.,.
But then my vehicle was also taking 15 seconds to call...
?

I just tested it again now and it still does no extra damage...
Maybe it will only work if the critical slice is done after publish 22, and any critical slice before publishis borked.. I dont know yet. But it it did absolutely no extra damage and has not been fixed.
My first hit was concussion shot with a +critical+ for 104 dmg, my next hit was concussion again without a +critical+, for 104 dmg.. Tested other specials tooand no extra dmg.

I could have sworn it was working on my freshly sliced Necrosis Nightblade, but I'll try to remember to try my old blaster fist sometime since it was sliced pre-publish 22.

You sure its up to double? Advance crit in BH only adds 20%.

Crit Slicing is working for me. It was a nice surprise when I was hunting last night. It doesn't double the damage (and I really didn't do maths about it) but it could be a 20% or more boost.
I use a Pre-Pub 22 sliced pistol.

So last night I couldnt get my old '44 to work so I took a chance and criticalsliced a new Renegade to %10 and it does do damage.
So the bad news is any weapon critical sliced before publish 22 will not work, only the the word will show but any weapon sliced after publish 22 will have the damage and work with critical correctly.
Also the description is misleading. It says double damage in the description when your slicing it, but it is only about 25% more damage.
I hit a normal /PANICSHOT for 187, then I hit the next /PANICSHOT with critical which did 233 damage.
Not exactly uber but its still fun in a way.

It's working fine for me with my old crit sliced weapons. I get more damage every time when it says +critical+ and I'mnot mbh.

my smuggler is dabbling in BH for the loot.
Crit chance seems to be working for me. I get crits more often now and whereas I havent specifically checked the damage it seemed higher. (over 1000 with a crit, under without)
I got a crit on a stopping shot today. Surprised me.
