Thread: Failure Rate after the Patch

Hey guys, I am wondering if anyone has noticed an increase in critical errors since the midweek patch. I tried making two composite suits last night, and no lie, failed 40% of the time. I failed twice on actually making the pieces, and the rest of the time while trying to experiment. I have been a master armorsmith for two months now, and have never had anything like this at all happen. On average, I would get one critical failure in about three suits made, but nothing ever this bad. I was wondering if anyone else has seen an increase in failures? Thanks.

After patch 6, I used to get maybe a 25-30% critical failure rate on both experimentation and assembly. This seemed to have changed after the hotfix on I think tuesday. Now i'm getting a much more respectable rate of about 5% or so. There was no mention of any changes in the crafting code. This may have just been a side effect or maybe the devs just didnt want to admit that they messed something up along the way.

Weird, Inoch, seems to be totally opposite for me....

Last night I critical failured on 4 triple layered kinetic chestplates in a row.
That's 4 chestplates x 4 segments x 3 layers = 48 layers. That's almost a crate of layers!

About 30 min later, I critical failed on the final assemble on what would have been a very nice krayt scaled helm, very frustrating - especially when you have to make a factory run just to make 3 segments using nice resources.

This has never happenend to me before. Sure I used to get the odd critical failure but nothing like last night has ever happened. And I was in the sit position, inside a research centre, and I have more than the standard master 100 assembly points.

Yes I was kinda upset last night.

yea well...when you're repairing armor for a guildmate and fail on every piece except the helmet and chest plate and I have 96% kits and +12 to armor repair...I think that's weird

Hi all,



I am a 3/1/4/4 AS and frustratingly still getting a LOT more 'fails' where I was getting 'great success' before. I have tried moving location - but you should be able to craft in your own house next to your own crafting station.


Anyone got any advice - or has this thing been fixed and I am just unlucky in my last 100 or so items?


Sunrunner is my server if that makes any difference.


Cheers

I was making some custom armor last night. I critical failed on combine or experimentation on the first 4 chest plates I tried. Amazingly, I then made 28 pieces of armor in succession with no critical fails and I got triple amazing successes on 5 separate occasions. Definitely something weird going on.

Have any devs answered any questions on the matter?

Haven't noticed any bad stuff...

I made maybe 150 layers by hand yesterday trying to optimize ham and resist for my perfect schematic and maybe had 2 critical assembly in the whole lot...

I made schematic for a whole suit of composite and everything went fine there too.


It's actually better since patch because with Bestin Port I can actually have a fair chance of getting an amazing success when i want it now ( +18 armor assembly + research center + bestin port = rocks).
