Thread: Double slice or not?

If that is 35% damage sliced, then it was 507-1016 preslice.


Base stats are around 450-850. The no-HAM stocks from themeparks are +25 min but also -.5 speed. If this is legitimate, it was made with one of these and a legendary/exceptional barrel with a large damage bonus.


If it is double-sliced, then it was either made with -.3 speed krayt tissues, or one of the stocks with bad experiment results on damage causing the speed to suck, then double-sliced for damage. A 15% speed slice would drop it to 4.0 so it didn't get a speed slice, and the HAM costs show that a standard stock could not have been used.

Yep, the weapons in both threads have clearly been double-sliced.


What's ridiculous at this point is that amount of double-slicing going on, if not on other servers at least on Ahazi.They're for sale in the forums, they're for sale on vendors, they're being spam-sold in Coronet. It took almost two weeks of continuous pressure on the devs and CSRs to get one of the more brazen exploiters banned, in the meantime another twenty have popped up... and one of the formerly top smiths on Ahazi has sold his account and the new smith is double-slicing.

some clown on Lok sent me a tell asking how much a 1.1 spd 147 dmg VK is worth - I told him it's worth a permanent ban - he didn't even question what I said - he knew all along....

I thought they fixed the powerup slice bug months ago. This is something different.

Yet another one!


http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=Eclipse&message.id=248684


(for more info about the guy running that shop use advanced search for Eclipse forum with the keyword Futile. 3 pages worth of threads about hes trade scamming, AT-ST exploits etc. Word has it that he has to be a relative of one of the Devs because he has easily atleast50 tickes made from different people about hes exploits)


Cant get in the game to check them myself but it seems that all of the guns are made from +140 damage -3.0 speed. All of them have low HAM's. +400 Legendary tissues? Yeah right


Within a week Eclipse has seen more and more exploited weapons floating around. There HAS to be somekind of a new exploit for these. On top of that the Geo cave in Eclipse is the new Bat cave with people camping 24/7 INSIDE of the cave.

Can't a master smuggler get up to a 40% slice?


Not that I think this is what happened or even if it makes those numbers possible


Just something to consider when confronting someone on this

No. The current max slice in weapons is 35% and 40% in armor.


(The T21 shop was allready known by the Dev's. Hopefully something is done soon.)

What's insane is the current level of exploiting in the game, I know of at least one active double-slicing exploit and have heard rumors of a second.


There is more Genosian cave loot available now than I can possibly believe. You have exploiters looting it and selling it right there out in the open. It's completely brazen it's been reported and ticketed and nothing has been done about it.


It really is incredible.

Actually a Master Smuggler can get a max of 35% on weapons and armour effectiveness, they can get 45% on armour encumberance.

Honestly, they nerf pre-nerf weapon crates and leave these guys to ply their positively game-breaking trade across the servers.


Where are the priorities here? Theseweapons are PvP grief nightmare and since 90% of the systems in game are geared toward PvP success, I would call them game-breakers. All your buffs and armour aren't gonna stop stats like this for longer than a few shots, so negating the efforts of 1000's of other players by the exploititive actions of a few...
