I prolly only sliced about 25-30 items this weekend in my spare time while fixing my template, but I just have to say, it was bar none the worst slicing weekend I have ever had


Of all about 18 weapon slices, I received 3 damage slices, two for 20% and one for 35% (this was on a LLC for me so yay!). All the other weapon slices were low 20s, high teen speed. I had a guy ask me to slice his 780 max damage pike for him. He started off asking me what % molecular clamps I used. I said I didn't know because truly it doesn't matter about the tools. He argued with me for a few minutes telling me I was wrong, then gave me his pike....19% speed...serves ya right for stomping on my Kharma! Most other weapon slices throughout the weekend were low end speed. A poor guy in my guild got 3 speed slices in a row on sythes from me. I told him at that point to come back tomorrow.For armor slicing, I as usual got mostly encumbrance slices.


It's beginning to become a ritual with me to give back the item and instantly say sorry. Most people understand, altho I often get people like the guy with the pike, and I truly hope for a crappy slice when that happens. I have a statement in my bio about the randomness of slicing, but at times, the randomness pays off when some idiot who argued with you gets the nightmare slice from hell on a million credit weapon

I hear you friend! I've had plenty of those days myself. But for balance, I sliced two weapons this weekend. I forgot to store my clone data and was in the cantina healing up my mind wounds and got a tell for two batons. The guy comes in, I see his novice medic tag and I tell him I'll swap him those two slices if he patches up my wounds. We head over to the med center, he gives me his two batons (acklays, no less). First one 21% speed. Uhg. Second...35% damage.


Got my wounds healed up and a 6 digit tip to boot.

I sliced 4 weapons this weekend...for the alt that I re-rolled.


a D-18 pistol (I hadn't made it very high up the Pistols tree yet), a Scout Blaster, an FWG, and a VK.


Out of those, I had one damage slice...on the Scout. And the best slice (numbers wise) was on the D-18...32% Speed.


Granted...for my low level, newb alt, I was kinda hoping for Speed slices. But still...it's sad when you very rarely break 25%...of which that 32% was the highest I've seen in my last 20-30 slices...

I've had some very good slices recently, most of them being damage.. I'm tempted to never slice again, afraid to lose my good run

I had an awful weekend. A guy gave me 18 rifles (T21's and Jawa's) and he got 2 decent slices. He told me to keep the 16 bad ones as payment - seemed fair I felt pretty bad he had blown nearly 500k and left my house with 2 weapons.
