Last night I was slicing in Coronet, when to my suprise, I got a 12% slice and an 11% slice back to back.... I'm a Master Smuggler and I thought the lowest you could go was 15?

On weapons or armor? I've had armor effectiveness slices as low as 11% at master (though that's as low as I've seen).


If it's on a weapon, though, that'd be odd.

It's just the fantastic SWG Slicing System. And while I agree that tool quality shouln't matter when Slicing, I dont agree that we cant shoose what we Modify

Is there someone with some information on slicing since Publish 9 ?


As far as I can tell, or is it me remembering my low slices better now, my slicing has been lower than usual. ( At work at the moment so I dont have the exact per centages infront of me) But I m sure the average slicing has dropped by 2,5 % so far. This might be some stealth fix to smugglers or is it just me?!


This might be due to


a) I haven't done enough slicing, approx 100 slices.

b) I m just unlucky


Anyone else who has the same experience ?

It's always been my experience at least, that the lowest damage/speed slice a master smuggler can get is 15%. It's possible that they changed it recently, but I have sliced over200 weapons since publish 9 (I run a sliced weapons/armor vendor)and I have not noticed any change in my minimum slice value for weapons.

Yeah I've had a 11% slice, but they are fortunately quite rare.

I have not noticed a change...I actually have been getting more slices in the upper ranges, but that is likely just a matter of luck. I suspect your lower ones are the same.

I've had the same results...more slices in the upper ranges and more damage and encum slices compared to speed and effectiveness.

Out of the thousands of items I've sliced... I've gotten probably 1% of them being 11% slices. I do not remember any ever being below 11% as master.

I haven't seen any damage/speed slices below 15% EVER. Not before Publish 9, and not after Publish 9.


As for slices in general after the publish, my slices have been just as random as they always have been. One set of comp I sliced everything for encumbrance, and all in the 20s. The next set I sliced 7 pieces for effectiveness, and 3-4 of them were below 15%.


I would love to see a screenshot of the sub-15% speed and damage slices that people have been saying they are getting recently. I sure haven't seen 'em.

WhenI was at slicing 4 a few weeks ago, seriously... -i gottwo 6% effectiveness slices on 2 pieces of amazing comp. The guy was devastated, though was *somewhat* understanding about it. I was appauled with myself


The one and only time ive got less that 11%-12% on anything. Bug? maybe, though isnt the lower cap 5%?
