Is it normal to see 43 UVs with only one high UV and no very highs? : \

Half of it was from punch, but half of it is also from crafting, and I have seen no highs/very highs on the crafting side. Is there something wrong? This is from my alternate, and I have seen some good coincidental UVs with very highs high on a few of my other ones, but this one account is getting particularly bad results with mostly low UVs as well. And this account isn't the only exception, main account doesn't get them frequently at the same amount, and it seems a few more won't be seeing highs/very highs at the frequencies shown from someone's earlier tests. Keep in mind I am crafting and rolling on the same item type as I have been for half a year or so, it's just common sense to get nearer to the probability.

Still another has a particularly different problematic situation where I have crafted over 60 items(intervened through different items a couple of times from missions and 5* gear and back to the original items) and still haven't gotten a single UV through those stages.

What's up with the discouraging bad luck? I've only gotten a few good maximum level uvs in the span of nearly a year now. I don't know how many others get very high uvs and such on their own mostly I'm hoping. One player announced he finally got a very high asi on his antigua/blackhawk after just spending 10kce. And it's not the only exception, maybe people have told the story to me that they only rolled a few times to get the highly desired uv, even one of them getting the same shadow maximum uv on their shield back to back(I think the guy mistakenly or wanted to crazily roll another on the same shield).

Like Replicant said, random

Like Replicant said, random is random (is random). You could get 500 lows in a row is 500 maxs in a row.

Pseudo-random is close enough to random is random

I'd like to know what they use for the pseudo-random number generator. Or perhaps highly desirable UVs are only allowed to occur at a certain rate...

I got a high freeze on my dusker cap when I first crafted it.
It's just luck.

I've kept stats on over 1000

I've kept stats on over 1000 crafting attempts. For those crafts, my rates were the following:

Total Attempts: 1264
Total UV'ed Items: 174

Triple UVs: 0
Double UVs: 11
Single UVs: 163

Very High/Max: 6
High: 15
Medium: 40
Low: 124
(This totals 185, because I counted each UV in the double UVs)

The rate I've been getting High/Very High is about 11.25% of all UVs.

So yeah, I would say that you've had a bad run. But it all evens out eventually!

it happens

I'm crafting a certain item right now. I've crafted about 75 of them over the past month. There were about 5 UVs in there, all Lows. So your luck seems good to me.

I'm doing this on my alternate accounts, that don't play the game much. The thought has crossed my mind that non-playing accounts might be penalized for UVs. But that seems like a game feature not worth implementing. So I'm just being paranoid/frustrated.

15 months and counting

I've never gotten anything higher than Medium, and none other than Low for the 'core' bonuses/status UVs. I've only Punch-forced a High (grems) and Med (fire), ironically 3 times each. It's just chance.

Second UV

My second UV ever gained at all was from crafting a striker, it was fiend damage bonus, high.

EDIT: This was my 12th weapon ever crafted.

@Bopp

If it helps, I had the very same fear about alts (still do kinda) until I rolled a Very High CTR on a Freezing Atomizer using a spare very rarely played alt. So good UVs can happen on alts. I've had the same paranoid fear about mist crafting vs ce crafting and about certain items getting UV at a much lower rate...

It would be really nice if OOO was more transparent about UV rates. They could be doing anything with them as it stands...

I've gotten... 3-ish Highs, and one VH (I don't care about UV's on armor)... Evar.

They are rare, and you just have to pray to the Machine Spirit to grant his blessings upon your gear!
