It's been a very long time since %s are very messed up, not only ultimates but also runes.
25% to upgrade a rune but nothing after 8 tries, for gods sake, 8 tries and all are either downgrading or staying the same, It's really annoying.
About ults, it gets me somehow wonder if they've special chances to appear or they became like regular ones, enemies get at least 2 ults each battle and they sometimes continusly happen.
I hope this gets fixed as soon as possible, to make players experience better

@R365 Same. Maybe we just have horrible luck.

Moving this topic as it is not a bug but intended behavior.

@Nynaevelan Would you like to explain the in your signature. What's his name?

@Dr.-Catterall said in %s are messed up in everything:

What is to explain and whose name? FYI are you of the generation of emoji's that you do not know what a winky face is pre-emoji?

@R365 I check with a Dev on Discord regularly on crafting runes. last test results

on specials I have no idea could be off or not can only give my own experience with it and that is I get as much specials as my opponents that says nothing about percentages but, the last time i got a opponent who got multiple specials was a long time ago so I have no bad experience with it

@Marianne-van-Es so, that makes sense, thanks for sharing
For ults, the chances are corrupted as I said, I get ults also very often as my enemies, and 1 strong ult can change the game course, so imagine 2 or 3 in a row

@R365 I believe you but it seems to me that not all experience the same

@Nynaevelan I was just asking whether the in your signature had a name or not. What's your problem? (And if he doesn't have a name, you should name him Austin).

lets stay on topic please @Dr-Catterall

You must be incredibly lucky. I have battles with multiple specials on both sides on a regular basis. On the flip side, I sometimes I don't see a single special for a day or two as well. Both occurrences are no rarity!!!

I believe everyone can notice that more specials happen on team war than pvp despite the fact that pvp has higher chances for it happening.

@David-ML again I can only share my experience, as soon as I have any other I promise I will share

It should be 5% both in Team Wars and PVP.

The reason that it seems to happen more frequently in Team Wars is because the restrictions make it more difficult to make a swift and easy kill and therefore battles tend to be longer. After 3 rounds of 3 monsters getting a turn at least one of them is bound to get a special. And yes, sometimes 3 in a row, unfortunately. That balances those times when it does not happen at all.

In the last war i had demise get 3 specials 3 turns in a row. But other fights i didn't see a single special

@VargRanger so like @Ekto-Gamat posted

@Ekto-Gamat actually specials are supposed to be 10% for pvp...

@ArCLoRd said in %s are messed up in everything:

I know that has been advertised at some point, but don't think it ever was true. I also remember Ricky Crane mentioning some time that it was 5% everywhere to make things clear and consistent.

Of course if Haka were still here he would be able to provide the correct link and info.

@Ekto-Gamat I know Im no Haka and I miss him terrible but I will try to find out

@ArCLoRd and @Ekto-Gamat quoting Varuna (dev Discord) about the specials: "is 5% in every single battle mode of the game, for all the monsters" also a dev is testing Specials and as soon as the results are out and told I wil post them here

So far I have done some testing last week as i was also under this impression of increased specials. I haven't been able to do it as well as I would have liked but so far the results were consistent with what they should be (around 4% of specials occuring). I would have extend the test further but so far here is what I've got using adventure map and pvp: 16 battles, 193 turns of monsters, 8 specials (these specials occured in 5 out of the 16 battles). I'll test further if ever I get the time to do it, but right now and despite my initial impression I would say there are nothingwrong with the current incidence of specials.

Last week I crafted runes 50 times using 1114. Here are the results I had:

• level 5 (upgrade): 7 runes (14%)
• level 4 (stayed the same): 20 (40%)
• level 3 (downgrade): 23 (46%)

My personal experience is that the chances to upgrade have deteriorated a lot. In the past, I would run batches of 50-100 crafts and the success rate was close enough to the one mentioned in the game. Now, during the last 3 months or so, the chances for upgrade are consistently lower and I can observe a big increase in the downgrade rate. I keep weekly logs of my rune crafting and the change is obvious.

As you can observe, the "safe" method would have given me 12 level 5 runes. I gambled and I only got 7. I also got a bunch of 4s and 3s, it is true, but overall the results are worse and I also wasted a lot of time.

I have been a real believer in rune gambling and, like I said, in the past it turned out to be a good strategy for me, but lately it's becoming a real pain.

@jizzusdoe If you want I will ask for a test with specific 1114, The dev will do a test with 1000 crafts he did it with 1115 he will do it with 1114 too say the word I will ask
