Draaconis Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Has anyone else noticed the spotty reverse engineering schematics? I have REd 20 green level 31 fortitude crystals and gotten nothing and then turned around a REd 2 31 enhancements and gotten the blue schematic. It tells you there is a 20% chance, but I think the algorithm is broken. Maybe they need to up the percentage. 1. Is there a consumable to improve crafting success/crit? 2. Does location matter? 3. Does having certain windows like GTM or the bank matter? 4. Does being in/out of an instance matter? 5. Does being on ship/planet/space station matter? Please apply these same questions to getting purple Underwold Metals, Treasure Hunting Gemstones, etc. Their becoming a pain too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nellsterzzz Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 There's nothing wrong with the algorithm. It's a common mistake that players of this game make, they think by r/e something 5 items that they are guaranteed to learn a new schem. You have a 20% chance each time to R/E and get a new schematic, all you're having is bad luck. The R/E is working fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckoneful Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 None of that matters in the slightest. All that matters is if it succeeds. 20% chance doesn't mean you're guaranteed the pattern after 5 RE's, it means you only have a 1 in 5 shot each time. You're more likely to not RE a schematic than to RE a schematic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draaconis Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 So a 20+:1 ratio doesn't seem abnormal to anyone? Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafaman Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 So a 20+:1 ratio doesn't seem abnormal to anyone? Really? Yea, I know... but, just last night a guildie was crafting while we waited for a replacement in Ops. She was elated to have 3 pop from dismanteling 6. Your chances don't diminish or improve the more you do it. They are the same each and every time. But, yea, sometimes you get lucky other times you don't. In the end it evens out.

Wraithe_Oza Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Not totally off topic, but I could SWEAR I read someplace around here that was 'official' that once the FTP thing went live that the RE system was getting a bump to 30% for subscribers. Was it true or just me having serious wishful thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AboB Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 So a 20+:1 ratio doesn't seem abnormal to anyone? Really? Not to anyone who has a rudimentary understanding of how probabilities work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansalem Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 well I have an 80% RE success rate with blackhole and hazmat implants that I have learned so something might be off with it. hell my first 4 hazmat implants I learned on the first try with each.

Nellsterzzz Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 So a 20+:1 ratio doesn't seem abnormal to anyone? Really? If you had any more than a 20% chance to learn a new schematic it would have accelerated the rate at which people learned 26 and 27 armorings,mods, and enhancements making it easier for people to get BiS gear without doing any work.
