Question in the title..... tonight i lost some very good tissues to make an awesome level 10 pet to not one, but two critical failures.


I was under the impression critical failures were taken out of the game.... did they stay in for BE's?

I still get them from time to time. Not very often, but yes it will still happen.

shouldn't be, according to this oldmessage:



Hotfix Update
Version 0.114815

Crafting
There are no longer critical fails on crafting (which would previously destroy componets involved)


(I knew I'd seen it somewheres.... just took a bit of hunting to track it down)

I believe it only happens when crafting pets, which is the worst thing if you ask me.

Did you lose your materials? Critical failures did notgo away. You still critical. You just don't lose your resources, or not supposed to anyway.


BE's will lose DNA upon a critical fail. This is one of the things that was overlooked during the crafting patch. It's never been addressed by a developer that I know of.

Understood.


I was really asking the shipwright. I know BE's lose our DNA during a critical fail. This isn't a new issue and isn't a product of the CURB. We've always lost our DNA.

Then this is a /bug and you should definitely report it. Tiggs had to clear up the thing about crit failures and in this "clearing up" she stated that you can still get crit failures, however, you should no longer loose the components.

Be sure to /bug this.
