Are they fixing the crafting in the upcoming patch? I sat down with 65 dna samples. I manged to make 3 pets with it. Critical failed on the combines 9 times... Sometimes on the dna combine, sometimes on the final creature combine...
65 dna samples and all I managed to salvage was 3 pets... that's like an 80% fail rate.
I know we get the cool new foods that will help, but if they aren't adressing this little "feature", I might just wait till they get around to doing something about it.

Tried that... cleared up all of my battle fatigue & wounds before starting my crafting sessions.

i refuse to make pets currently with all the crit fails i get. odd thing is, i get twice if not triple the critical failures creating pets vs. stims or tissue.

I'm having the same problem. Its just completely silly failing 6 out of 9 attempts making a dang level 10 pet as a Master!

I see this many critical faliures when dealing iwth clone dna. i had some dna that had the cleverness 0 stat in a template and failed on the inital combine.

I criticalled three times in a row last night, so I stopped for awhile, and changed locations. About 30 mins later I was fine, over the next few hours I was able to create about 8 pets in a row without any criticals, but several experimentation failures (one which stripped off armor, which may as well have been a critical).

Several months back I recall reading in the Smuggler forum that there were good and bad periods of crafting an slicing built into the game so if you start slicing and getting a couple of 13 or 15% slices, stop for awhile and wait it out. Same went for other crafting too. This may be something to think about as well.

I know... I just always figure that by the third or fourth consecutive critcal failure that I've seen the worst of it...
When I hit my 5th, I though, well that's it, smoooooth sailing from here on in.
When I hit #7 I figured now way, no more bad luck for me!
After that I just didn't care anymore...

I do not uderstand this... I almost never have a CritFail.
I have had 1 CritFail in my last 600 Pets...
I am using a +15 Crafting tool
and a +45 Crafting station...
In a Research Center...
Only times I get CritFails is if I am using my crafting droid in the field. Even then it is very low under 2%
Go buy a good crafting tool and take the time to go use a good crafting station in a Research City...

I'm using a +15 tool with a +42 crafting station in a research center and I still get massive crit fails. I get almost an average ofat least 1per 2 pets I've created. I've gotten as many as 4 in one experimentation session.
Frustrating when you're using third generation DNA and you're spending the final experiment point to create an awesome pet and you fail and all of the resists go to 0.

Ialso use a +15 Crafting tool and a +45 Crafting station. The research center doesn't matter since all of my critical fails come at either the initial, or final combine.
If anybody on Sunrunner know's where a Manufacturing city is, please let me know 
Other than that, my only option seems to require me to hop on Tempest before each crafting session, and rub Linoric's head for good luck... 1 crit fail in 600 pets... sheesh...
