But all you really get from slicing is generally credit boxes that don't add up to the mats you get from other gathering abilities..

Psh tell that to the 409k credit I have on my consular and 355k credit on my sentinel (both level 25) and the 221k credit on my level 21 Operative.

If you play slicing right you make bank. Shit some people are at 1m+ credits from slicing alone.

 

[dimb]

IA Operative here, and would love to know which gear this is.

I got a piece of gear very similar to that in the Hammer Station Flashpoint. There's also a matching hat in there.

 

[Spiritreaver]

I'm a Powertech fully specced in the tank tree, but I'm usually #3 or #4 in DPS. The survivability helps. Most Commandos I see are hanging behind supporting the melee classes.

*bro fist* One of the best PVP moments I had was when I got teamed up with a fellow Powertech tank on Alderaan and we just raped faced. Got to the point of the team trying to hide up at their speeder spawn and we'd just grapple them down constantly.

 

[Soroc]

Thanks for the patch notes on slicing.

I think it will still be able to make some rly good money. I think just that people trying to use the lower level ranges for more bang for your buck won't work anymore. The numbers for the younger levels will be retuned.

Still going to keep it on my Trooper alt though along with scavenging to keep a nice compliment of money along with my underworld trading money.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

seems like every MMO must have a week down time at launch

You mean 6-8 hours?

 

[Zeal]

I don't mean anything by this, but I'm mostly curious. I think I asked it before but forgot to check the responses.

Do most guy players choose to play female characters just because they like the female models better in games or what? Almost every female I meet on the game, or in a stream, I usually find out to be male either through voice or in-game. Just something I've noticed as a sort of MMO trend, guess.

Mainly my wife is just trying to find some real female players lol.

 

[Garryk]

I hate that the Imperial uniform hats make your character bald. I guess they didn't want to deal with clipping issues. I think someone said that the Twi'leks lose their lekku in hats.

Until they start spending that all on storage space. Shit is expensive.

Speaking of cosmetics, I dig the Trooper level 40 PvP armor.

Doesn't come across well in the screen, but it's super shiny.

 

[Trouble]

Looks like the 'everyone gets a trophy' PVP rewards is being toned down too. I hope this encourages some coordination on the Republic side.

Warzones


General

Rewards for winning Warzones have been increased.
Warzone completion rewards have been decreased.

 

[Kintaro]

That is a week in MMO time. Keep up!

Hot damn that looks good.

 

[krameriffic]

SI/Consulars get everything. Bah

Yes they do. I played one in beta (Marauder in live) and I really wish I was still an Inquisitor. You get pretty much the most versatile CC in the game, solid healing ability, strong ranged DPS, a really good stun, solid AoE later on and all kinds of goofy utility stuff. Marauder doesn't get shit.

I enjoy attractive characters. Especially in a game like this where your character's face is always on screen.

Hot damn that looks good.

I'll take a screenshot from a conversation. Looks even better. They really need to fix that high res texture bug.

How're you liking your Trooper so far?

Those are the only classes I have trouble with in PVP as a Sniper.

 

[Tallshortman]

Minimum:

http://www.swtor.com/info/faq/game#310777

Mine:

AMD Athlon 2700+
2.17 GHz, 2 GB ram
Radeon X1650

I don't care if it runs at all minimum settings... WILL IT RUN?

Probably not. You'll be getting likely unplayable fps at lowest settings.

And don't forget option for stealth!

Seriously Marauder and Sentinel should have at least gotten stealth option, the consular/SI already have way too much functionality and goodies. Marauder/Sentinel get nothing but dps, stealth would have given them more functionality and less stuck in a single role rut.

Just curious, is it better to focus on lockboxes or enhancement stuff? Or a mix of both. Just picked up slicing yesterday and I'm at 30ish.

 

[JWong]

I got a piece of gear very similar to that in the Hammer Station Flashpoint. There's also a matching hat in there.

After I saw that the hat makes me look bald, I wasn't going to bother.

There's this headset looking head piece that looked great on my IA. Might post new pictures with it on.

 

[Castor Krieg]

I don't remember a mmo having this many downtime. Almost every 3 days. Ridiculous.

And, I love how they tell you to go to website for update only to put you in the que access the site.

Are you kidding? 2006, 2007 WoW was dying sometimes 3-4 days at a time. This is nothing.

 

[pix]

Servers are up!

 

[JWong]

SERVERS UP!

 

[Attackthebase]

Just curious, is it better to focus on lockboxes or enhancement stuff? Or a mix of both. Just picked up slicing yesterday and I'm at 30ish.

I just focused on the lockboxes. Seems to be doing well for my Sith Inquisitor.

Severs still down? Hooray! That means I can play some other games instead of being addicted to this fucker.

Edit:...FUCK!

 

[Bloodsent]

I must have gotten rid of the rewards from the Balmorra bonus series before I fully understood the 100% moddability of the gear. Looks like I can try to solo Hammer Station or something I suppose.

I picked a girl because the female voice actor for the IA was better.

Class 6 Green Lockbox = 2667 credits

Usually these are 4k-5k...

 

[Faith in Fate]

Weee servers up in Europe.

 

[Trickster]

EU servers up

 

[BattleMonkey]

Class 6 Green Lockbox = 2667 credits

Well thats not a HUGE nerf.

 

[Angelus Errare]

My sentinel has all spaces and mount =). Unfortunately I hate playing sent....so I'm sending the money to my consular and operative

 

[Izayoi]

How're you liking your Trooper so far?

A ton. I feel like she's almost too good. I'm worried about the nerf bat, especially since Bioware has shown us that they're more than happy to swing it around.

Class 6 Green Lockbox = 2667 credits

Ugh.

 

[TheExodu5]

Class 6 Green Lockbox = 2667 credits

So basically you make around 500 credit profit in 30 minutes...wow. They basically nerfed the rewards by 80%.

 

[Furoba]

So can you switch characters to different servers? I'd like to join EU gaf, but which server to join?

 

[Ferny]

So basically you make around 500 credit profit in 30 minutes...wow. They basically nerfed the rewards by 80%.

Good, it allows the other professions to actually be viable. Never a big fan of slicing myself.

 

[Dash27]

Servers are up!

It's funny that I, a grown man sitting at my desk at work with 0 chance of playing anytime in the next 3 hours, still get a little jolt of adrenaline at this phrase.

 

[TheExodu5]

Not a fan of slicing, but it's beyond useless now.

Making less than 1k profit in 30 minutes is just not worth the effort.

Should it have been nerfed? Absolutely. It was just nerfed far too much. Yesterday, you could make 4k profit off a mission. Today? 500 gold. Slicing is nearly 10x less profitable now.

 

[Attackthebase]

Damn it, all I wanted was to get my speeder before the nerf happened on splicing. This ruins everything! Splicing is a near worthless profession now.

 

[Lain]

Probably your best bet - there's a very similar looking one from the Hammer Point flashpoint, but I can't remember if that was a rare drop or a quest reward.

Drop off one of the bosses. I got it just 2 days ago on my Operative.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

I had mainly went slicing just to afford the speeder trainer. I'm well past that now and have around 100k credits still I think. I can go back to Underworld Trading now I think to go along with Armormech/Gathering.

 

[JWong]

I know Speeder training 2 is 210k.

I don't know about Speeder training 3 though.

 

[RoninChaos]

So what are you guys doing not to get the frame rate drop? I did the AA tweak in the ini file. Should I do that in the nvidia control panel? I'm using d3ovrrider to force vertical sync. Should I do that in the nvidia control panel as well? This is my first nvidia card so I don't know the ins and outs. I've always had and and the catalyst control panel was worthless.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Just sent my guys on 4 slicing missions, let's see.

Not really, as long as it's still profitable folks will want to do it. Reason being is that it's the simplest profession for making money that takes no actual work. You can make more with other professions, but you got to invest more work and time selling and waiting for your creds.

Lot of people are going to drop slicing now which is good really, but for lot of casual players slicing will still be viable credit source, and always got instant credits you get from slicing the world slicing nodes. Some players don't get involved too much into crafting and such and this will be popular casual job to make credits

 

[LiK]

SERVERS ARE BACK UP

edit: beaten

 

[vaelic]

Yep slicing is worthless now

 

[Kintaro]

Yep slicing is worthless now

Wow. Glad we can come to such definitive statements 15 minutes after the servers came up. lol

 

[BattleMonkey]

Wow. Glad we can come to such definitive statements 15 minutes after the servers came up. lol

It's not broken anymore. Worthless!

 

[Arken2121]

Regardless, I've been doing Biochem and have made quite a bit of cash. Not nearly as much as pre-patched Slicing but very close. This really puts other professions in line to be a little more useful and reward yielding.

 

[LowParry]

Winning in PvP gets you more commendation as with losing, less. The values are changed after the patch. Winner you get about 70+ while losing 30 - 40 (or so I was told). The rest seems about the same with valor exp, exp, and credits. Anyone tried out slicing to see how nerfed it is?
