Has this happened to anyone? It has happend to me several times. When I am crafting and I get an Amazing Success the stats go down like a criticle failure. The first time it happend I thought my eyes were going crossed...Then it happened again...and again.

Here is the kicker...I was crafting a Kryat Enhanced Flame Thrower...I had 3 experimentation points to spare towards the damage...I was up in the 900 damage range so I eagerly spent my next experimentation point and then clicked next...Amazing Success...Wooo Hooo right? Bzzzzzz......WRONG!!!The damagestats droped below 850...I ended up with a stocked kryat enhance flame thrower with 862 max damage. Ughhhh!!! I make non-enhanced flamers better than that!!! To add insult to injury I had 4 Kryat enhanced powerhandlers left. I went to craft the 2nd flamer...what happened?...criticle failure!!!! I cannot remember the last time I had a criticle failure!!! The criticle failure I can deal with...that is part of the game....the amazing succes bug is horrible!!!

I put a ticket in...What was the response from SOE?...Sorry...I cannot help you in this situation because we have no way to verify it.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. So now I look like an ass to my customer? No Way I will let that happen. I scrounged and found more kryat tissue to make it up to them and I also gave them several free weps to boot. Wish me luck...I should have my next set of kryat delivered today...I hope I don't get screwed again...

Anyone else running into this problem?

No, never had that scenario, but I've had times where I get a Great Success! on initial assembly. Then I get a Great Success!!! (notice the 3 ! compare to just 1). or even Amazing Success!!! on initial assembly and the stats across the board are exactly the same as if I got a regular Great Success!

That makes no sense. Ok, I did a great!!!!!!!!! job. Gun's still the same...

gotta lovethe "moderate successs" typo also

i actually cross my fingers and hope for a moderate or two on t21s. Doesn't seem to drag the damage down below what I can recover with left over points, and it sure makes the speed better.

**edit** man.. I was trying to figure out how a master was getting his speed down on the T21... YOU DID IT. I now know how!?!!!

Thanks

I've had the "Amazingly Bad Success" bug happen too. Oddly enough, it happened on assembly which resulted in a crappy gun even before experimentation. I figured it was the counterpart to the "unusually good assembly" bug.

Yeah, I've noticed before that Moderate Success does seem to hurt one stat or more, but it can REALLY boost some other stats.

i have gotten the amazing succesful failure heh---its a pian in the ass sometimes it realy happens and the other time it drop the stats like a rock..i have goteen moderats also and have all stats go up, also got a crit failure with experimetaion point and have all %'s drop to zero..ouch

I've never had it that bad, but I do see the final product (with 1 amazing) having 1 point lower min and max dmg than thesame weapons with all great successes. Very annoying.

I've had that happen to me with Amazing Success as well, and yeah, moderate w/uber speed drop rocks. Sometimes when I'm bored I sit there just experimenting with components, hoping for the uber moderate success. I've never had a moderate boost max dmg but all my moderate good stuff seems to end up with higher min than max dmg (example Advanced BRB 16-12/-0.46).

Well, at least you experiment on CDMs now.

Are ya'll experiencing this when doing bulk experimentation or point at a time experimentation? I have a theory that if you are doing bulk experimentation and say, the first 8 points are amazing successes and the last point is a crit fail, it will tell you amazing success even though the last point was a crit fail and knocked out all of your successes. Just a theory, but can anyone disprove it?

i usually do three-four points at a time and it only happens rarly 90% great success's but that 10% always come's to play when i dont want it..lol
