I just had 3 out of 5 DNA templates blow up in crafting, after the supposed fix to lower critical fails. About 4 hours of generational clone work down the tubes. Needless to say I was absolutely livid, and had to immediately log off. Anyone else not seeing these publish changes?

I just logged off in disgust a few minutes ago after a 4th gen crit fail. I didn't really expect much help from this patch anyway, but I'm becoming a strong supporter for us to get the Architect/Jedi perk of not losing parts on crit fails.

Interestingly, I made about 20 4th generation pets today and had exactly *1* critical failure. During all my experimentation (half of which was done at a public crafting station, the other half at my high end private station), I actually only got 1 result during template creation that wasn't a great success.
This is much, much better than I am used to. I'm a Master Bio-Engineer and can't tell from your sig if you are, but I loved it today.

I had 4 critical fails on DNA combines last night. Of which, 2 were generational combines. These critical fails on DNA are just ludicrous.

I seem to be the only one to have benefited from benefitted rom the patch. This morning I was able to craft 5 non-ch Bantha. All with around 2k HAM, 2 specials, & ranged. Its the first time I've ever been able to actually produce non-ch pets on demand, just wonder if they've been nerfed now they've rolled back to crafting changes.

I lost 2 batches of MR from 3 attempts, but it seemed to settle down after that. This was after the "hotfix" that set the experimentation back to the "old" system but left the "new" critical fail code for Masters.

Combined5 - BMBQ Very High Quality DNA.....everyone realizes how hard it is to get VHQ on these.....crit fail../curses loud and profusely...spouse runs in wants to know what is going on at the computer.
I thought maybe I should craft some lower level stuff, just to get the evil spirits out....lol.
Next 5 - Giant Sand Beetle (Trash) DNA - Amazing and great successes....all the way through. /enhance calm. Next 5 - Greater Desert Womp (Trash) DNA - Amazing and Great successes..../smiles. Next 5 Combine- 3-BMB/2-BMBQ DNA....all VHQ.....crit fail..../laughs in disgust...turns computer off...walks away debating the issue of canceling account.
Man.....I hate crit fail....this is ruining my game experience in a huge way. I accept thatthere are going to be losses but, come on.....I just lost 300K insales and resourcestonight....It has taken me several trips to Endor, several hours of DNA sampling andstrong diseaseand trips to the clone room to get the VHQ BMBQ DNA. The thing that hurts most......the MCH was standing there waiting on me to make his pet. I had to tell him that I crit failed on 2 very high level combines and that I would have to go to Endorand sample again. He said that he would check back with me later and that he was going to check with another BE forpets. I was totally embarrassed.
Maybe I shouldn't take it so personal. I totally understand the frustration of losing quality DNA now. This has to be the most disheartening experience in my SWGplay history besides being a carbineer at one point....lol. Anyway, there are big changes with failure and not for the better I'm afraid.
