View Full Version : Anyone else having FD success rate trouble lately?

<p>So, yeah, anyway. I'm doing what bruisers do, training thru zones. The particular time I'm referring to now, I'm FDing thru chardok (bruiser epic, ya know). Six out of nine FD attempts....failed, 4 of those 6 one after another. I think to myself, 'hmm, 97% success rate on FD. Six out of nine fails doesn't equal 97%. (For the mathematicians out there, it would be 33% success rate). Since the last patch, this seems to be happening quite alot. I've spoken to quite a few other bruisers on my server, and they have noticed an increase in failed FD's as well. It's really frustrating. I know some people may say that I'm only noticing the increase in failed FDs because I must be FDing more often than before since epic weapon quest went live. But that isn't true. I constantly use FD. Going to instances, running thru Chardok (whether going to CoK, getting sokokar post for friends, running to warlord event, etc.), running thru JW, KJ, Sebilis, and what not. I'm not using my FD much more if any more at all. </p><p>So, are there any other bruisers out there that have been having a field day with whether or not their FD is gonna fail or not lately? The first time this happened to me, I chalked it up to just having a bad luck day. But this has been a daily occurence since epics were put in.</p>

<b>I think </b>the 97% rate is for a normal mob (not +, ++ or +++) that is equal to your level<b>.</b>The rae goes down from there on, but it still is ridicule compared to 97%<b></b>

<p>I've been cruising through the Jungle all weekend and saw no difference. Actually, I do not recall any FD fails.</p><p>bing</p>

This has been happing to me also lately. I have definitely noticed a higher failure rate than pre-LU42.

<p>Yep, issues here. Even when not fighting something, I get a 1 success per 4 FD's. I am only 37 and I have the play dead adept 3 so 74% (so they say). Seems it is a 74% FAIL rate.</p><p>In the words of Brian Dantana from Anchorman, 74% of the time, it fails everytime.</p>

While harvesting in Sinking Sands a week ago I failed 8 out of 10 Feign Deaths, 6 of them in a row, followed by one success and 2 more failures. This was at 93 or 95%. A few others in my guild noticed similar findings as well.

<p>It's been about as bad for me lately as it's always been.</p><p> A couple weeks ago, I decided to go back and finish some Castle Mistmoor quests. Failure rates seemed much higher than the 3% I'm supposedly expected to have with a Master book. 2 in a row failures happened a few times, and always resulted in my death. </p><p> My FD feels more like 90%.</p>

<p>Yes, I have noticed a dramatic increase in failures since the weekend. It's not even the regular sort of failure, more of a non-response to the FD command.</p><p>Since some others haven't noticed it, could the bug be racial? I'm a DE.</p>

My friend told me he has a coldI am getting sniffles now tooAAACHOOOOO
<span style="font-size: medium;font-family: times new roman,times;">Until today, I didn't notice any change in FD and had been continuing to use the App2 that I got when coming back from exile as it seemed just as successful as my old Master 1 had been.However, today I have failed about 20-odd times in a little over an hour. Six of these happened in a row in Sebilis, resulting in instant death and armour damage. The only thing I can think of, apart from a random bug, is that today I put AAs into FD-resuse timer. Anyone else find that FD started failing more after doing this?</span>

Do you still have it app2?What level are the mobs you are FDing against?
<span style="font-size: medium;font-family: times new roman,times;">I do still have it at App 2 and it's been no different really in its success rate than the Master 1 I used to have. Not worth upgrading if you're low on funds like I am.And the mobs I've been using it on are all the same mobs every other T8 bruiser uses it on. Today it was solo and heroic mobs in Sebilis and solo mobs in Jarsath.Anyway until today it's been fine then it went nuts and failed 60% of the time for a couple of hours. One of the other Bruisers in my guild has their FD fail constantly and they have the Master 1. Another one says he's never had it fail and he has the Adept III. Doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to it, frankly.</span>

Last night in Chardock, I FD near a stone I needed fer epic....I was down for a while...got up and the timer then started ticking to refresh...mob got me and that was that. Hope that isn't something bad....but you all would have posted on it by now if anyone else experienced that too. So must have been a bad dream.

Just the *usual* issues with it. It'll work fine for an hour if I'm feigning around somewhere, then it'll fail three times in a row (at 97% chance thats gotta be what, a 1 in a million chance? maybe i should play the lottery...)
