I joined a Research specialized city for the research bonus and when I first did it was great, very few failures on experimentation. For the last few days though, I have been have a high rate of failures, while I am in the city. Is anybody else experiancing this?

Sheesh, what a friggen horrible waste of time Monday was. I had this plan to create 2 level 30-35'sh pet for myself. So in the morning I gathered about 10-15 samples of high/very high rancor dna for specials (rancors of all types are a pain in the ass to sample btw), the rest was barkmite burrower for resists. Since these were going to be for myself I wanted 60% kinetic, that meant I had to make 2 pets, one with the barkmite/rancor for specialsandthen again with the dna from the pet I just made combined with the barkmite. Then I would I have to start recombining to lower Clvl.

First off, I was lucky to get maybe 1 or 2 samples from my first and secondgeneration clones, and rarely was it a very high sample so I could easily get the special to stick.Second there were the numerous crit fails on template combines and creature combines. I also had the worst string of expermenation luck I ever had. Sitting next to my 40+ crafting station, using my 15 rated crafting tools, in my workshop in a research specialized city, I failed over and over on experimentation. I had better luck sitting out in the middle of no were with just my droid.

Long story short, I burned through at least 50 dna samples yesterday, and I still don't have any pets to show for it.

My Monday was very similar. 15 rancor samples 3 crit fails in a row. Umm I am a Master BE there is something very wrong here.

It took me almost all day to get those samples.

I have noticed an increase in crit fails when Rancor DNA is used. Mabye not but it really seems higher. And it seems crit fails come in pairs. or in this case it was tripletts.

And i agree I seem to have better luck in a camp with my droid.

I've only had good luck in the past fw days with making things. With one exception.

I was trying to make the melee D clothing enhancements. I was trying to use my best resources to get teh +5 melee D bonus, and to determine if the +5 popped up at 91% (does it round up) or did I hav to get to 100%. Unfortuntely, my bone samples sucked, and never got it above 90%.

Anyway, a very weird and repeatable thing was happening. adding one point on at a time, it would get to 83% to 86% - and then it would fail every time on the next point of testing. I repeated this 10 times, finally deciding to get to 75% and then use 3 points of experimenting to get me past that barrier.

I live in a research city and i experienced this problem as a master bio engineer also, on sunday and monday. i was coming up with all types of crazy theorys like: i wonder if my droids crafting station is wearing out.

Pshhht!

Charred

p.s. frenzied rancor dna is very valuable to me, and now it's gone

As you can guess from my sig, I have a master tailor too. And today I was making some travel packs for my BE. Normally I hardly EVER crit fail (as a Master tailor), but today making the packs I think I critfailed at least 50% of the time..... I was like "Wow **edit** is going on here?!".

From reading this post, I think it isnt just a coincidence.
