If you thought they wouldn't nerf slicing, you have to be retarded.



its one thing to nerf the every aspect of the skill but to take away only the rewards but leave the cost the same is just ignorant.

its pointless to do crew missions anymore for slicing unless you want the skill up.

now instead of making money you lose money, on crew missions.

Then your experience is unlike almost everyone on Tat that I've talked to. Yeah you can't make 500k before 20 anymore, but they are saying it's still worthwhile.


OH NOES YOU CANT MAKE FREE CREDITS BY THE TRUCKLOAD ANYMORES

Actually, Slicing at cap was nearly worthless. 20-30 minute missions that cost 1.5k credits to send out(if you even got a Rich 5 in your list), and made a return of 4-5k credits. You get 6k-8k credits per quest, and 500-1k credits per kill at that level.

It was borderline useless outside of Augs at cap, now it IS useless outside of Augs. Oh well.


edit: and lololol at 500k before 20. I did slicing missions constantly and I had like 90k at 20.


All they had to do was lower slicing at the lower levels, because it was pretty crazy FOR THAT LEVEL. At cap, it was crap. Now it's beyond crap. For money making anyways.

Yeah, the reducing rewards to sub-cost, THAT'S what's retarded.

Oh well I didn't really want that speeder anyway. 40K just got very far away..

Even on my non-slicing chars 40k was easy to get by 25, and that's with purchasing the first 2 bag expansions.

Figures. I just got the slicing skill last night so I could make money for a speeder.

Forever broke!

uhm. you lose money on all of the other crew missions. why the fk would you be upset by slicing now being in line with that? slicing was previously a gathering skill for cybertech. but cybertech also relied on scavaging and underworld trading i think. it needed 3 additional skills to level it up. so i understand they took slicing out of the mix and made it like investigation is.

but seriously, stop crying about not getting free money anymore. no other crafting skill was free money.

Slicing is STILL tons of money, now you can actually level up something else with crew missions and still make bank on them while leveling.
