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

the artefact/augmentation upgrade system is the worst thing to happen to DCUO!!!!

Well lets be clear, your taking what i said as a literal to you when i clearly disclosed (as an example) and i said “you” because i was replying to you lol. If that wasnt clear by me saying t originally perhaps it is now?
And yes, my old record (its on the forum buried somewhere) was somethin nuts like 12-16 fails in a row on the 2nd (90% chance) breakthrough.
Its just how it works is all. If i misunderstood your OP my apologies.

Eh, don't worry about it. I try not to get too worked up about online conversations, where you (generic "you" ) can't always be sure of other peoples' intent.

And yeah, I had one recently that was 80% or 85% chance of success, and went through an entire pack of preservation seals. It finally succeeded on the last one.

Remember to keep in mind that AI cannot replicate "true" RNG.

True, but a good electronic RNG can do a pretty good approximation of a die roll. I still remember the old 8-bit home computers, which would generate the same sequence of numbers every time you ran the program.

Never trust computers ;p

Never trust anything that can think for itself, if you can't see where it keeps its brain.
