Hello,

I logged in on 9.15.04 and found that I was having a critical failure rate of 33-66%. At times 4 out of 5 experimentations ended in failure...even with the special foods and crafting drinks. What is the deal? I suspect developers dont like it when players accumulate too much credits (honestly earned) and attempt to curb their profit. I seek other opinions, thanks.

I saw perhaps a little more than I would expect but that did not bother me. When something like that happens, I usually also see more amazing successes. I got the layer schematics for my next run of kinetic comp without undue difficulty.

I had above usual amazing successes (especially for my stun layers, woot!).

Server reset may have something to do w/ their psuedo random number generator. <shr> who knows.

The dev's will nerf you if your account reach over 100 mil... They nerfed me

LOL...how did they nerf you?

I find that SOE probably is using the same "random" numbers as were used in EQ. It isn't really all that random and I think has a system-wide number applicable to each unit time. That's why you tend to get more amazing successes if you can hurry and do another experiment really quickly after an initial amazing. (At least I have noticed this. I do better if I just go again quickly rather than drinking a bespin port. Could be my imagination though.)

It would be great if they made it a bit more random imo. Because I notice the crit fails happen around the same time as the amazing successes too. And with true randomness that wouldn't happen.

I was just joking about me being nerf, But I do see more failures and less amazing since patch 10. I craft about for about 2 hrs a night every night and it does seem that patch 10 did something. My guess is the dev's adjusted the amazing sucess and critical failure percentages to compensate for FS crafter. So now you if you go for the FS crafting tree you would be at the sucess level youwere in patch 9 and prior.

just speculations though
