Slicing nerfed (glad I mad my quick 150K before that happened to keep my toons in speeder trainings)
War Zones nerfed … well the losing side needed something. i can honestly say 7K+ xp and 1000 credits for 15mins of losing effort seems a bit much for a level 20.
Honestly, I thought the Warzone rewards were absolutely fine. Yes, at lower levels it might seem “high”, but when you get to a higher level, the rewards balance itself out.
that is a good point, just seems it should scale a bit better with your level. I mean 2 quick war zones and maybe you get lucky and be on the winning team and bam you level 10 to 11 seems a bit much.
shut up,!!
How much have they nerfed Slicing?
Slicing now no longer returns a profit (in the long run it costs credit).
you still make money on slicing, just not as much. It doesnt cost money to level slicing, but it doesnt give you 100K by lvl 20 either
well Momus sent some number close to 40-50% on a few test runs.
My 4-5 since the patch show something similar but both of our tests were above level 250 missions
Now, the credit boxes are giving slightly less than the cost of the mission, so lockbox missions has gone from a good way to earn money fast to a good way to lose money fast.
that sounds a bit awkward.. if the main reward ( yes i say main since schematic/mission gain is too low for it to be the main reward for slicing) is money yet doesn’t earn more money then it costs (even if it’s only a 100 credits) then it’s a pointless crew skill to have..
Hope they stopping almost every NPC having those training droids that attack you. Basically eliminating the epicness of our characters that every single NPC can bring out weapons.
Our training droids from CE can’t even attack and a total waste yet the NPC ones can damage us.
Considering I’m halfway along Kira’s affection bar, I’m glad they fixed whatever bug there was.
The whole reason that they had to nerf slicing is because they didn’t limit how high you could level it right off the bat at level 10 (or sooner if you just went to the station). No wonder there were large numbers of accounts with multiple slicing alts running missions constantly. At level 19 & 25, I have more then a few skills that are getting close to the maximum of 400 points.
They should have done it up like just about every other MMO in that you can’t level crafting / gathering skills past certain points until your character level meets a minimum level requirement.
well atleast they fixed the dc’ing problem …. oh no wait
got dc’s 3 times already. before the patch 0 never had a dc in this game even in beta
maybe they wanted to make it fair for everyone so everyone can randomly dc
I have DC’d multiple times too >.< mostly on Taris. During beta I had wonderful connection speed and not a single DC, but now I get one every 15 minutes or less. It's very, very frustrating.
I have a very high speed router and internet connection, as well as a computer that exceeds all minimum computer requirements.
Resources nodes are still bugged for me. Most I can harvest, but even after implementing this patch i’m unable to harvest and sometimes even see some resources. They appear on the map, but are unharvestible, invisible, or both.
Also, Taris is still very buggy for me. I have been unable to level at a consistent pace on that planet due to the fact that every 15 minutes it crashes on me, and I have to reload the game.
Anyone have any potential solutions?
My concern about slicing is what happens at 400? I can understand the risk/occasional loss when you get a skill point.
But at 400, you no have 30-50% of you missions for lockboxes that are showing (at least to my most recent 10 attempts) to be returning at a loss.
I’ve been keeping track of the 140 slicing missions I’ve done since the patch. While there is now a much greater chance of taking a loss on a mission, on average the missions are still profitable, especially since they can crit, and that profit does not include the schematics I can use or vendor on the GTN. It appears based on my sample size that the quality of the mission (Moderate/Abundant/Bountiful/Rich)doesn’t have much effect on the profit per minute (Rich missions give more money, but they also cost more money and take more time). In general, missions are netting me ~10-20 credits per minute per companion. Not an awesome return, but the 2 companions who would otherwise be sleeping on the ship are getting me ~1800 credits per hour that I wouldn’t otherwise have.
