Just out of curiosity, who honestly thinks that we'll see the new changes to Slicing with Publish 19?

And if we do, does anyone seriously think it'll get anywhere near enough testing time, or will it be buggier than a beehive?

I dunno... but I just get a funny feeling that we'll either get pushed back again because of this whole Empire Day stuff, or we'll end up with another fiasco where it'll be on TC for a day and a half then get pushed to Live without addressing any of the bugs that the TC people find.

Cynical? Me? Nahhh.

I'm pretty sure the changes will be out in P19 - also think that there will only be a couple days of testing on TC and pretty sure it'll be buggy as all heck. In fact I fully expect slicing to be unworkable for the first few days until hotfixes come out to fix the problems that were introduced.

If all we have to go on is recent history, then I'd say this is the case.

With that said though, according to the redname that was in here earlier - the code has been finished for some time, so hopefully it's been tested internally and is ready to go - who knows!

I could care less about slicing.

Now actually SMUGGLING I DO care about and if it show up In Test before July 31 I'll be a happy camper. Not really expecting it though.

Slicing changes? They'll probably make it into Publish 19 but I fail to see why everyone is drooling over it.

No drooling here. I want real Smuggling, too.

But I'd still like to be able to slice again. And spending a couple of days learning the ins and outs of the new system will give me something to do in the game, and I'll spend a little while slicing for folks until I get bored with it.

Then I'll be back here pushing for the rest of our "Revamp".

Not sure pushing out a Publish so soon just for "Empire Day" is such a hot idea.

When are we gonna get "Bug Fix Day"?

"Bug Fix Day" will come immediately after "Powers to be at SOE Apologize for making Dumb Decisions Day"

Mark it on your calender now!

i wouldn't be too hopeful for quick hotfixes on slicing

p17 and p18 haven't been pretty.

aside from the lighting which was probably an easy fix (though they botched that and people seem ot have lost items in their buildings) there are lots of things gone wrong still not patched, including bugs that we've seen before (the vendor listing of factory crates/resources in p17)

Things still out there include:

- Vendor listings
- Badges in noob quests not working
- bio-linkable bugs
- BE/tailor and armorsmith modded item crafting busted
- chat tab bugs
- respec "later" dialog
- vet and expansion reward retrival issues
- buggy change (un-fix) to elemental damage went out live

And that's ignoring CU/rotw aftermath.

I mean, if they can't even get people who paid for the new expansion their shiney trinket slicing fixes are going to be a long time coming.

I thought "Bug Fix Day" was the day after "Blizzard Takes Over SWG Day".

I have no faith the slicing changes will

a) be delivered with Pub 19

b) be the great mini-game we hope for

I reckon Publish 20, and bugged to the extent that slicing is largely ignored

oooooooooooooooooo

My only hope is that the "game" they plan isn't too tedious or lengthy. Nothing will suck more then if we get something that'll take 20 mins to slice two suits of armor for someone.

Because the "game" will wear off after a week and it'll just be back to the "task" its always been.
