the object creator was removed form the pics as to protect the creator of the gun....and as one may think the purchaser/provider of special looted parts took it off of there so he can protect the "special" weaponsmith he has found.

I'm not an expert in figuring out all these numbers, but this looks like a double-slice.


If the gun crafted at 1148 max dmg and 2.8 speed:


1148 x .02 = 1171 dmg (first slice)


1171 x .04 = 1218 dmg (second slice)


2.8 x .02 = 2.744 spd (first slice)


2.744 x .04 = 2.63424 (second slice)

hmm - someone wanna try what fabkins suggested with the Sac/damage pup - and try to slice it? it seems too close to the actual stats we see to be coincidence.. looks like a -ve damage pup has been applied to get round the slicing cap - once its sliced - remove the pup and voila your over the cap.. suggest we try it - then report it as an exploit if it works?

either something was bugged or exploited and yes double slice would be my guess the math is correct for that.

I know the weaponsmith, and I have to say he's the best weaponsmith on the server right now, he does the componments right and slices can go above cap for some reason- he didn't say it was a double slice but it was a bugged slice on a few weapons he did, that's about it. I may be getting that rifle in that screenshot.

If it is indeed a bug it should be handed in to the CSRs and adjusted to the stats it is meant to have.


Exploiting the system is not the way to be a better smith and it ruins the game for the honest guys.


Im not sayng he did it on purpose, but if he is indeed aware that this is a bug then he should contact the CSRs so they can fix the loopwhole. He might not try to recreate this, but be certain that someone will and that is the downfall for us all just like the double slicing could have been if it hadnt been stopped in time.


Game rules needs to be equal for all of us and we all need to play by them.

sorry, geen is the best on our server. exploiting a slice doesnt make you a better ws, it makes you a crappy smuggler. even one slice above the cap is a bug, let alone a double slice.

actually cherry all WS are on par if they have the same resources and make the same components....i had power cells higher then the ones that were used....i did a test on a scatter and hit caps on damage and SAC before slice....after slice it reached a certain cap point once again.....this rifle along with many others on our server that are gong around are made by the same WS....it kills my business...soups business...morbus and faqual and all the rest of the WS because we cannot compete.....I filed a ticket today because this is BS.....

QFE.


Pre-CU I was asked to make a stun baton using bugged bones, it would have turned out with min-max damage the same. I informed the person asking me that this was bugged and would be regarded as an exploit. His response was 'I don't care, XXXXX (name withheld for obvious reasons) has a Baton like this and I want one too'.


I politely declined the offer to craft the weapon, frankly I wouldn't have wanted my name as creator on a blatanly illegal weapon. The same goes for this weapon here, if it was legit there'd be no reason to blank out the crafters name on the screenshots.


Being able to craft weapons like this using bugs/exploits doesn't make the crafter a good WS, infact it makes him anything but if he is prepared to use underhand methods to do it.

I say he is one of the better weaponsmiths because he bothers to lower SAC, I cannot find weapons anywhere else that has SAC lower than 100 on any weapons- I craft with low SAC weapons on my wepaonsmith on Lowca. He said he wasn't interested in selling that particular rifle because he found out it was a bugged slice, but yeah he should have filed a ticket on it and got it fixed.

well yeah, hard caps on weapons make us all equal in the eyes of resources. i was referring to geen on knowledge more than anything.as for this guy, pm me his name, cas I still dont know. what i do know is he found a way to get around hard caps and it smells real fishy.
