Shayddow Posted July 8, 2022 Posted July 8, 2022 Awhile back they tried to limit credits by substituting scrap (Scavanged scrap, assorted droid parts, and jawa junk) for credits in top end SLICING gathering nodes. The problem is, the majority of the time when you "gather" such in such dangerous locations as Mek-Sha, the node is EMPTY. That's right, it yields absolutely NOTHING. High end archaeology, scavenging, bioanalysis is not penalized this way. Only slicing. FIX it so we at least get SOMETHING for our efforts. :mad:
Thunderisaclone Posted July 8, 2022 Posted July 8, 2022 The complaint that some forum members had about slicing was nothing short of stupid to begin with. Other crew skills could make far more credits by making & selling dyes, augments than slicers could by farming. That was even before the GTN price explosion. Yet BW only penalized slicers, due to just a few constant complainers that made thread after thread about it, just to make there complaint seen a much bigger issue than it actually was. As for empty boxes on different planets, well as someone who has all crew gathering skills across my characters I don't find slicers suffer any more than other gathering skills, as often nodes cannot be harvest on all 4 gathering nodes. Same as not all crew missions are successful. So seems kind of fair i guess in that regard. It is annoying though all the same..
JediQuaker Posted July 9, 2022 Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) I find Onderon to be (one of) the best place to gather slicing nodes. Edited July 9, 2022 by JediQuaker

Because I've not had a problem like this on my slicers in any of the higher level areas EXCEPT on characters I take that are lower level and boosted up. And even then, I get jawa scrap for those characters.
Shayddow Posted July 12, 2022 Author Posted July 12, 2022 I'm not boosted up in level, I'm level 80 with 700 in all crew skills. And on such places as Onderon, Mek-sha, etc. Many times I will see a node and get absolutely nothing.

I'm not sure, and I'd have to check, but it seems to me that sometime the 'contents' of a Slicing node go directly into material storage, so it may seem as though you got nothing. But then again, maybe I got nothin'. Hmm... 🤔 Edited July 12, 2022 by JediQuaker

I usually see amount of credits in the chat box, but I usually get loot boxes as well. OP if you're not getting anything and you've got video proof, report it via the bug forums or via PM to a dev.
JediQuaker Posted July 13, 2022 Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) I forgot to check. 😏 (I have some 'chats' turned off in general chat, so I have to switch tabs to see the messages about what I got from a node.) Btw, I always get credit for the nodes towards CQ, which is mostly what I'm after. Edited July 13, 2022 by JediQuaker
