The time has come, everyone. TOR has received its first patch from Bioware, and it primarily addresses the problems people were expecting (and have been complaining about). Slicing is rarely mentioned in general chat without someone commenting “It’s OP” or “I need to make an alt to do Slicing before they nerf it.”
Sure enough, the ridiculously-good money-making machine has been noticed by Bioware, and the values from lockboxes have been “reduced to bring them into balance with other skills.” The exact extent of this change is impossible to say for now, but surely the community will soon decide whether or not Slicing is still a worthwhile profession.
More information on the new patch after the jump…
