Frustraited with the Broken Uv Punch system only giving lows

I'm so sick and tired of the Screwed up UV Punch System. I've punched more then 10 Times now and all have been low except 1 medium. i havent seen a high, let alone dreamed of a very high or maximum. Do you guys feel this is messed up too? 3ring Needs make it so that you have equal odds of get all the different uv- low, medium, high, very high, and maximum. So tired of almost all of them being low.

anyone else have simliar experiences?

I got a Attack Speed

I got a Attack Speed Increase: Very High on the first roll with my Dread Venom Striker, and a Shadow: High on Aegis on the first roll. The system is not broken, it's random, with a greater chance of getting lower UV's. The higher ones are better and should therefore be harder to get, just like your weapons and armor. You don't get a Leviathan Blade for the same effort you spend getting a Calibur.

Why OOO is in charge, and not the fans:

"3ring Needs make it so that you have equal odds of get all the different uv- low, medium, high, very high, and maximum."

Do you even know how much that would break the game? UV odds distributions are fine as they are.

Missing the point

Better items = Increased rarity

It's how almost everything in life works, deal with it.

I don't have a problem with

I don't have a problem with the system of buying UVs. What I do have a problem with is the extremely low rate of getting UVs from crafting.

I swear to god the chances got lowered when the option to just buy them became available.

"I swear to god the chances got lowered when the option to just buy them became available."

I'm actually pretty sure about that, I crafted a LOT (hundreds) of haze bombs and since that punch/vise update a LOT(hundreds) of other items. I had way more UV's on the haze bombs than anything after that. I know a good test requires at least a thousand rolls, but I'm drawing my conclusions earlier because it simply makes sense from OOO's perspective. Punch is a huge moneymaker.

The problem is that this is basically gambling in a game rated for 13+. It's hugely addictive. Was my Vog cub coat worth the 20K that gave it a shock: MAX on first roll? Yes it was. Was my Divine avenger that I sank 30 rolls into worth the gremlin: medium? It was not. Will I keep going? Probably, because there is no other way to get stronger gear than to gamble yourself into it.

i dunno, seems kinda fair at

i dunno, seems kinda fair at the moment, also i feel that if u level cap a gear then uv roll you get a better chance on some thing good. its been like that for me, but really like others will say its all luck, or jedi mind tricks.

I agree with the random, but

I agree with the random, but sometimes the random doesn't agree with me...

Bonus vs Slime Low on a Dark Thorn Blade....mmmk....thanks.

I think some combos should be impossible to get on certain weapons....

No UV's no joke

I swear to God the chances got lowered when the option to just buy them became available.

No joke since the change over I have crafted quite honestly hundreds of items and I've gotten a total of 5 UV's all low since the introduction of Punch. That is WAY lower than 10% which is what they say the UV chance is.

First roll: Max normal resist
Second roll: High Peircing resist
Third roll: Medium Damage bonus vs Fiend

Yeah you had bad luck. I'm fine with you complaining about petty things like this, but don't do it on the forums.
Also suggestions to fix something means go to the SUGGESTIONS forums.

Read before you post <-- People don't do that anymore, thus making their arguements that much less powerful

Also If there was an equal chance then the value of a Maximum UV would go down, since they are as easy to get as a Low.

10 times? Nice try, come back when you've rage crafted at least 200Haze bombs and rolled a UV at least 40 times. <-- (People have done that already)

@Clwnbaby

Its 10% each time you craft, not 10% of items made guaranteed.
The proportion doesn't increase with each craft, it instead "resets" to 10% each time. Thus you had quite bad luck.
