Also I sincerely hope that none of the form mods come on and comment about this not being true. because I then would the have to reply by calling them lairs and that would be against form rules and could get me in trouble.

It is not against forum rules to call mods lairs. I am not exactly sure what kind of creature* dwells inside forum mod, but it is not against rules.




* I wonder if it is the much elusive super-ultra-guaranteed-to-get-you-98-aptitude-holy-egg golden cavy. Cause if it is, I am totally going mod huntin

well nytefall sure seemed to think its against the rules

OT I'm pretty sick of jewel fail rate and I've heard many others complain its gotten more ridiculous. I could handle the fails if it didn't degrade but spending money on something that can make your gear worse is just stupid.

We need them to justify to us why they think the price should be that high to plus a piece of gear. They should be doing that for all of their changes, that would allow people to understand/present their argument over the changes

This would also allow the community to get more in touch with Gameforge so that we as players can see where the game is going

Now, read what you quoted and what I wrote and see if you can spot the difference.

*sigh* Don't they have humour in Canada?

I see complaints like that all the time too. Those people are Calvinists.

It took them 3ish years to admit $2.50 was too much for 1 purified fusion stone. I don't have confidence they will say anything to attempt to justify the cost of plussing.

Stop correcting spelling and defend RoM's honor, Pinkhat. Sheesh.

It was a funny misspelling, darn it. Can't I make fun of people with no TP put into any of their spell skills?

As to the subject, I am mid-to-endgame statting a new tank and so plussing full set of gear, except for a 3 pieces I bought plussed. It is OD too, which as we all know affects plussing, and some of it was pre-statted, which affects plussing too.

So, I have done more plussing during this particular weekend than most people. And, like others, I've had very frustrating failure streaks, where I could not get a piece over to the top of the range, or even close enough to the top to use perfect jewels. But, guess what... I've also had straight no-failure streaks. Not really any different than most plussing attempts.

I don't have exact numbers, no. Still, the grand increased failure rate conspiracy is ... welll... I will admit, I didn't wear my tin foil pink hat today.

According to the old forum posts, the closer your equipment is to the jewel's max level, the higher the fail rate. If this is true, then we'll be seeing more fails with the level 77 equipment compared to lv 70 equipment.

So far, it still seems to hold true. Had no problem getting to +5 with Faith jewels on old 70/72 equipment. But with level 77 pieces, even +4 is hard. And from what I remember before faith jewels came out, it was almost impossible to get +5 with revelation jewels on lv 67 or 70 pieces. +4 was recommended, and 2 perfects after that. When Faith came out, +5 became possible easily. Now we're probably just going back thru the cycle again, and with perfects being so expensive... yeah, this going to be a problem.

What they need to do is get rid of the dropping effect from plussing. I'd be perfectly fine with fails, but the drop rate is just way too high. It would make plussing have so much less rage. But the day that happens siege will be out of beta and all the quests will work properly.

I agree the price of these jewels are kinda expensive, shoot I cant even afford them being F2p.. haven't even geared since chapter 4..

I love how you spell word 'never'.

More then once I raged on forum about how stupid is drop in plussing, and last couple of times I had to + I had gear go to +4, back to +1 back to 4, 3, 4 and finally 5 with many fails only in between. This was done on L55 OD gear with L70 jewels, so Noblewarrior's remark about making difference in levels does not make much sense...

And I agree, 1K dias to + stinking dagger puts you right there in price range of new game that is not in beta. IS is too expensive, we all know that, but question is if there is anyone else with sense of urgency in GF that knows this. In meanwhile we loosing mid-level players all the time.... and 99% because game is too expensive to run.

It's been my experience that fails or fails+level drops are built into "standard" (non-perfect) enhancement gems, based on a certain percentage chance, and also based on some sort of random number generator (RNG). Since I'm not a programmer at all, or CS student, perhaps someone with experience ('wiffo?) can explain in one-syllable words how RNGs don't actually produce truly random numbers.

Now that I've said that, I've had rather variable success when plussing gear that's close to the upper level limit for given "standard" plussing gems. My mileage varies, and yours will, too.

There have been times when I've had similar gear go from +1 to +5 in five or six tries. And then, there have been times when it's taken 10-15 tries to hit +5. Going from +12 to +15 usually goes smoothly for me, with few fails or fail/drops.

But when I run into a stretch of fails and fail/drops, it's time to put down the plussing gems and walk away for awhile, maybe even a full day. Change of time, change of luck, perhaps.

I think that it's not only unconscionable but also a waste of time and text to repeatedly bring up this subject. I've lost count of the number of threads that have been started and maintained about it over the years. No matter how often this stuff gets yammered about, neither the publisher nor the game developer seems to be willing to make a change to the fail and fail/drop chances. *That* much is obvious. After all, selling diamonds so people will buy Item Shop stuff is what keeps this game going.

I will admit that I'm puzzled, and occasionally entertained, by the people who insist upon coming back to this, as a dog returns to his own spew. But good Bog, it can't be *that* tasty...

It's also ridiculous to make a claim, as the OP did, that GF or RW "raised the price" of plussing gems. I seriously doubt they've done any such thing. What I believe is that the OP had one or more runs of poor luck, that the RNG gods were mad at him for not having made a sufficient sacrifice, or that he simply wasn't holding his mouth right when clicking on those gems.

Level 77 equipment, with +12 jewels. haven't seen them fail so much in a while lol.

buddy asked me tonight if i would get his ring "lvl 77" from +11 to +12. "Sure" i said. I have 15 of the 7-12 plussing gems.I blew all 15 of them & it finished at +10 /sigh

Nufff said, something did change, and changed to the worst....


I am noticing other things, like more often ending with no galloping gale pot with 6 HK. It was rare to begin with it, but now is more rare and there are days I would get 15-30.

Yep i got from the house maid, once per week, no Galloping gale, no unbridled, but 100 frog potion, crazy beakouts and fullness loll. I have 6 house keepers and all skills full. Sad but welcome to the randomness of ROM.

Gameforge can you lower your randomness meter like 20% for a year ?? ;-)

TYVM

Thats your problem right there, house keepers need to be gimped to get the pots you want. I have 3 at lvl 55 so i can get a steady supply of galoping gales, unbridled and lucky targets
