Smuggler Archive

I have some weapons with great damage. Should i slice em now and hope for a damage slice or should i wait until after the CU.

Will the slicing work in CU as it works today?

---

Based off this, I would wait until after the CU to slice since they basically have to implement the new slicing system with the CU or soon after.

I'd personally wait. Partly, I suppose, since we may get new slicing soon, but also because we really, I think, don't know if we'd prefer speed or damage slices. But I suppose the latter matters less, it being currently random and possibly still random afterwards. I think... if you anticipate NEEDING a new blaster because yours is almost out of condition or similar, then yeah, I'd do some slices. If you feel you're good until the possibility of a new system or the old one made to work with CU properly, I'd hold off. It's a bit of a gamble, but hey-- think of it as a Smuggler mini-game or something.

Saw a post in theMarksman forum that the new slicing process won't be coming with the CU.

Didn't mention when it might be added either.

What you quoted from me clearly says that I think it will be added at the end of the CU or soon after. I know nothing has been said that has a solid date, but with the new stats on weapons, the current slicing system just wouldn't work. That's why I think they have to add it in. If not at the end of CU testing, soon after. Since the new system lets us pick, I would wait until the new system simply because I don't think we'll be waiting that long.

Actually, they already proposed the new system of slicing with a detailed picture of how it's going to work. The new system will let us choose what we slice and we can slice both if we want but it will be smaller bonuses. Here's the link for what they told us.

That's the revamp, not the CU.

CU != Smuggler Revamp!

This is notintended as a flame against you personally. There is a great deal of confusion b/c the smuggler docs were released while the CU was being discussed. The new slicing mini-game, new slices, smuggler missions, new spices, not-crafting-spices, new slicing tools.... all of this is revamp, not CU.

Mostly, I don't want more annoying people asking me for damage slices after the CU when it'll still be random.
