This has probably been said a 1000 times, but...

Adaptive (Episode) Augments should have a 100% breakthrough rate for all ranks.

On the Switch…you guys should have 100% breakthroughs for artifacts too.

Yes pls

Yes please. Especially after the rampage I went on after failing 8 times in a row to a 80% breaththrough....

You don’t count…get outta here XBox, lol. The struggle is real for Switch.

buy a lottery ticket

The fickle finger of RNG is real on all sides.

I've been catching up on adaptives cause I've been gone for 2 years, and I had 3 (one each from the current 3 episodes) ready for rank 23 breakthrough. 50%. It took 4 for STTS 3 for IK and 2 for DK. The last one hit. It's 50% at most it should have failed once and hit the second time. Then people get confused as to why I'm only getting prec augs and not healing augs. I got both for every episode up to FP. Looking back, not worth it.

Any of the past adaptive augments only rank up one from each episode for the feats. You do not need them maxed or even equipped to play the actual content.

Good advice, rarely do you need both, unless there’s an additive bonus that helps with old elite content. Get the first for the feat, then as it ages work up a second one if you so desire…but 90% of the time, it’s not needed.

No kidding. 80% chance of success, burn through 9 or 10 preservation seals. 20% chance of success, breakthrough on the first try! (I had that second one happen last night; it's usually the first scenario)

For elite, and elite plus you do. Regular, you don't.

There is not a snowball's chance in hell those breakthrough percentages are accurate. Something funky is happening in the background for sure.

This right here. Just for ships and giggles, I've tried a breakthrough with a SoP at 10% chance. Never once did it go thru. But I have failed a 90% more times than I can count.

Lol thats not how % chances work lol.
That line of thought is why chance games make $ for the house not the player

Actually thats exactly how % chances work. This is an incredibly basic concept really and common knowledge.
It happens to me too, it sucks when it does and i hate it but a 20% chance to fail a decent chance to fail. Also, each time u click is a NEW chance an the previous result has no impact. In your mind (for example) u see 50% chance as u should hit in 2 tries but thats not reality. Its just as likely to fail each time. Your brain just refuses to accept that tho.

But but 50 + 50 = 100

Actually, no, you're just assuming that's what I think. I understand how random chance works. That's why I don't gamble IRL. I have no illusions that a 50% chance means that you will automagically succeed on every other try. 1 chance out of 100 doesn't mean if you do it 100 times, you're guaranteed to hit the jackpot once. Statistically speaking, you stand a chance of succeeding, but that's just an average. You can fail all 100 times, or you could get lucky and succeed several times.

I was just pointing out how even if you have a high % chance to succeed, you can get bad rolls and fail every single time because the RNG gods hate you that day. Or if you happened to sacrifice a platinum d20 to the RNG gods, you can succeed on a low chance of success on the first try.

True, but that only works for simple addition. RNG uses algorithms and since we don't know which variables are used, the 50+50=100 isn't reliable.

He's being sarcastic.
