TheRealDestian Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Been noticing something lately... It seems that, for the past few days, REing has stopped yielding as many procs for new recipie discovery as it used to. I used to typically always get at least 3 out of a batch of 15 cybertech items, usually more. Now, I'm lucky if even one procs. I've had many cases where I've gone 0 for 15. Does the rate of proc decrease as you acquire more recipes or something? Has anyone else noticed a drop in proc rate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkie Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 No and no. Everyone has good streaks sometimes and bad streaks sometimes. Simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masamunesky Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 what about those times with artifice i Re'd a blue quality item over 100 times no proc i gave up after got sick of buying the AH outta mats....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrkLore Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) I'm assuming that as you're leveling your crafting you're trying to RE higher level items... If that's the case then that's probably the difference you're noticing. The higher level the item, the harder it is to crit the RE and learn the schematic. A lof of people have had to craft 100+ items to get schematics on the lvl 49 items. Edited January 12, 2012 by DarrkLore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsenex Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I have RE'd 100 lvl 33 GREEN implants and got nothing. These Schems are GREY to me crafting-wise. I do believe the rates were borked or nerfed in last patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkie Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Well. I got 3 schems this morning out of RE'ing at most 20 items, One was a level 37 implant, one was a level 33. Do you still think it's broken? I think that randomness just chafes at a lot of people. Personally I like the gamble, it's mildly entertaining. The funny thing is you see ALL these posts "RE'ing is broken?? Worst streak ever" and yet I never see posts "RE'ing broken?? I keep getting schems too easily". People are much more prone to complain when things seem out of whack in a negative way, nobody seems terribly concerned when things seem out of whack in a way that benefits them.

Larkie Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) You assume it's never happened to me. It most certainly has - I've had a couple of days of really bad streaks. Yes, it was annoying but it wasn't the end of the world and it went away (for now). I'm sure I'll get bad streaks again but since it will never bother me the way you want it to I'm afraid you're out of luck.

BobaFaceroll Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Day three of trying to RE green level 49 armoring pieces with no success, 45-50 tries a day. I've had exactly one success in the last week on anything level 45 and up (an earpiece). These aren't blues or I'd expect to see such a low rate of success. Either something has changed, or the RE rates on greens at 45+ is stupid low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darguth Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I noticed a very substantial drop-off in my "luck" at around lv. 35 that has persisted up through lv. 43. I've got exactly 5 blue schematics to proc from RE in that time. It's been quite the dry spell if it's purely luck. Either that or (A) the rate of decrease in RE crit chances seems too sharp or (B) we got a stealth-nerf. I highly doubt it's (B) though. I think it's likely a combination of bad luck and the higher-level gear being RE'd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealDestian Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 The past 3-4 times of REing 15 at once, I've gone 0-1 out of 15. Pre-patch, I'd get 3 minimum. Yeah, they nerfed it. As if crafting wasn't already completely worthless as it was... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJIzzy Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I thought it was kinna too easy feeling like I was pretty much guaranteed a schem within 5 RE's. Now I do have to RE up to 25 of the same item to get a schematic upgrade. And ya know what? I'm okay with that. Learning is a process, and I don't think schems should just pop up all the time as they seemed to do the first week. I'd make 2 or 3 of an item, RE all, then get the blue schems. I was levelling on *blue* schems for most of the 20s and 30s... Now that I'm working on gear up to 50, I don't mind putting in a little bit of effort to get upgraded schematics. I think someone with a ton of schematics should have *had* to have put some effort into it, not just gotten them in the process of levelling.
