Architect Archive

I was just practicing some crafting, making book cases. Here are a few stats...

I've been playing for about 20 minutes making bookcases. I got 11 critical failures with 3 in a row and 7 in 13 attempts. I used up about 17,000 resources and lost 1650. Which is only 10%. But isn't that more than it should be? Anyways, getting critical failures is normal and I'm glad they're in the game. But getting the crits like that is really freaking me out!


So if you got worse stories, I'd love to hear 'em lol.

Crit failed 5 walls and 2 medium houses in the course of 30-45 minutes.

Nedless to say, I went and played my smuggler for a bit.

It's been happening a lot more often lately, for everyone.

I'm a Weaponsmith, nearly Master, and I just managed to rack up 7 crits in 36 items. That's just on the combine. You guys may lose more materials per combine, and that really sucks, but I'll tell you that the feeling is just as bad when crit failing on a Laser Carbine as it is on a Small House.

Not to mention the experimentation problems they've put in lately. At least Architects don't have to deal with having to make 13 of your houses to make one sellable one like I had to do a few days ago. Note, I'm not whining, or saying I have it worse than you, or anything like that. My point is, we've all gotten hit with some kind of stealth fix or indirect bug, and it's hitting all of us pretty hard in the resource pocketbook. Not good.

5 Crits, 3 hours, all final combine on factories. Love it. Really. Just like running into a nest of red drall. Nekkid. Barefoot. Unarmed. Covered in Honey.

you know, i get the occasional crit on structure modules... almost never on walls and only failed 1 small and 1 medium house so far in my career. BUT, when i craft furniture it doesn't surprise me to crit on 1 out of every 5-7 items I make... its not always that bad, but it always seems to be a higher failure rate on those items.

One thing that I've found real helpful is my high functionality rating crafting station (42.6) and tools (14.94). This has cut down criticals even during experimentation.

I'm on Valcyn, so if you're on that server then give me a /tell for one of these

Critting is all voodoo I do not care what anyone says

I have had hours go bye and not a crit fail on any item small or large..then whammy tons of crits...I have made very high quality crafting stations and tools (also have the furniture tree maxed, no armor, etc) ...same thing some days tons of crits others none.

As long as we are running worse numbers here, mine had to be tonight for time period. At least 6 structure modules, 2 walls and a heavy mineral harvestor in about 2 hours time. Though I am sure some have had worse, I know I will too eventually...ahhh something to look forward too hehe

Resource killer!

Humm, I would say my worst ever was a week or so ago: ~15 structural modules, ~5 walls, 1 Gen turbine, 1 Manafacturing mech, then 2 Heavy miners in a row within the span of about an hour. (and yes I do have 14.82 tools, and 37 FR crafting stations).


What I've noticed is the exact same thing mentioned above. I can go 3-4 hours sometimes crafting and never have a single crit. Then all the sudden BOOM, I start getting massive numbers of crits. It's like the server reaches a critical mass and starts passing out go directly to jail cards left and right. One thing I've wondered is whether the server keeps track of "your" % of crits and randomly assigns you more crits based on that.

I dunno.. Ive been on a string of good luck.. I havn't even crited on so much as a brick in2 fusion generators (all bricks made by hand, no less)

By the middle of the 2nd Generator, i was weirded out.. by the time i clicked combine for the generator itself, i was sweating bullets cuz i just NEW a crit was coming.. but it didn't.

Best run of luck Ive had in awhile.. and u watch, becaue of it im gunna crit on a PA hall tromarrow

I made a Generic Guild Hall yesterday. I don't intend to push my luck - that's it for me in terms of PA Halls...

I've crit failed:

Small House

Wall Modules

Furniture, lots of it

Power cores, gen turbines

I'm pretty fortunate.

Let's See I've crit failed:

2 Medium Houses

2 fusion generators

4 solors

2 heavy minerals

6 medium minerals

2 factories

1 large house

countless smaller items (Walls, Structure Mods, Generators, Furnature, etc)

You guys obviously aren't using the "Swing a chicken over your head covered in crisco method." My family has all moved out, but I've had a lot fewer crits.

Guess I'm just lucky as heck. I haven't failed anything more expensive than a structure module in six weeks or so.
