  • Phenomenal Failure Rates

    Yes, I know you get one of these posts every so often, but a 10-25% success rate on Misty Thicket Picnics with a 250 skill + GM Trophy + Geerlok seems a bit excessive, don't you think? My success rate used to average 50% but it's plummeting to nil. I would say I have a good idea of what is "average" since I do batches of 800 combines over the period of a few hours. This food is becoming worthless to me if I can barely generate 1 -2 successful combines per stack. WHAT is going on??

    I've bugged this several times, but I've lost complete faith in Verant since I've also bugged the Stinging Swarm exploit numerous times and it took them over a year to fix the stupid thing (and it was an exploit even!) and I have no clue if they *ever* fixed the smithing containers not holding the proper sized items (also bugged many, many times).

    Sorry this is turning into a rant but as we've all seen they can barely get anything right every time a new expansion comes out. So my question is, am I the only person having this *incredible* failure rate?

      Have you been doing your combines in a different area recently? Don't know if that may be the case, but i can tell you for me to do MTP combines in the bazaar vs. Shadowhaven, whether it's beacause of the lag in the bazaar, but my sucess rate at 250 skill with trophy and at 200 wis:
      Shadowhaven : 50%
      Bazaar : 25-40%

        It must hate me too.

        I was making my first ever batch of MTPs yesterday and knowing that they were trivial at over 250 I still figured that I would get a few successes at skill of 191 with geerlok. Well I did 400 combines and got exactly 3 successes and 2 skill-ups. (( Not a happy camper. I was doing it for the skill-ups mainly but thought I would enjoy having some of them around for the extra WIS. Alas its not to be so. Does this sound normal? Should I wait till I am MUCH closer to 250 to try these again?

        Thanks so much.
