Architect Archive

Last night after the patch I had saved resources for a few days to make some harvesters. I Crit failed at about a 40% rate. I used to Crit fail at a High 20% rate. Are you telling me that since the patch the crit rate failure has actually gone up? Did anyone else notice this or is it just a really bad night for me? If the crit failure rate has indeed gone up I'm out. This is totally unacceptable. Not to mention they moved the Create Prototype with the Create Schmatic button and I made 3 schematics last night by accident, Which to me was an additional Crit failure.

Do the Devs just hate crafters? Why did they put it in the game? Do they specifically really hate Architects? They made it the hardest profession to master with the smallest monitary gain and if the Crit fails have actually gone up it is truley an injustice. I'm getting real tired of being bitch slapped.

Sorry for the Rant I'm frustrated.

I was waiting to see a post like this to start testing something out...

Take a look ("/examine") at your personal crafting station and your structure crafting tool. See what effectiveness percentage they have. (That was just put in yesterday.) The ones I had lying around that I just made with crap materials, no optional components, and no experimentation had a rating of about negative 12. One tool that I used high quality material on and experimented up to max had a rating of positive four point something.

How's yours? And if you make new ones with better stats, does the crit rate go down? That was my guess as to what would happen when I first saw those ratings added to our devices.

I will try recrafting my tools and station tonight to test the theory. Why wouldn't they be part of the notes on the patch list? Why do the devs feel they need to always keep the Architects in the dark? It's not like we're exploiting the system if anything we're dying out there. Maybe that is thier intention. To kill off the trade and if so they are doing a great job of it. Too bad they'll lose customers in the process. If I can't be what I want to be (An Architect) I don't want to be anything else. I will find another game because otherwise I'll play with a chip on my shoulder. I did not work tirelessly and put stress on my relationship at home just to be nerfed to death. I made Master Architect Saturday finally. It was a long road with lots of heartaches but I finally made it. For me anyways it was a real accomplishment and at Master I have a total of 30k in my pocket and the Devs have not helped us. Whats wrong with this picture?

I hate to belabour the obvious, but this is worth pointing out.

Real life (particularly relationships) are so much more important than any game that...

well, I doubt I need to go on. If it's gotten to that point, a break may be in order.

Oh hey I totally agree with you and I truely thought once I made master I could ease up a bit. As you well know getting to the top quickly in a game like this is imperitive if you are to make any money at all. If I were starting over I would not take architect. But now that I am a Master I have already played less. The time I do play howeverfrustrates me and this "game" is becoming work now. I may have to drop it.
