breaking synths that one should not be breaking

[Protey]

I'm over 70 levels above cap on a synth. It's earthsday, 79% moon, and I'm using earth crystal, and facing south. I just got 3 breaks in a row, two of which were critical loss of materials. WTF SE, W - T - F. Fix your crafting programming already. If I am so skilled in a craft, why am I breaking so much on making the lowest level (cotton cape in this case) of synths?

They already said they'd not be removing the breaking.

Personally I wouldn't mind, but it's an insult Synergy doesn't break, and when you do craft things that can be crafted with a normal craft you get a guaranteed HQ Craft.

The point being, even skilled people in real life can fail and destroy a part. (it just should only be ~5% chance to do so)

but skilled people in real life can't levitate a magic crystal above their heads that mystically turns into a thing

If you think the direction you face during crafting is important, you're not skilled at your craft.

troll detection!

Anyways it's unfortunate that it happens, but not much can be done, they're not changing it :/ And I agree with the synergy comment pretty lame they can't do something simliar with regular crafting.

Facing a certain direction or not has no effect, some people do it simply because it "possibly" has an effect. Until SE comes out and says, nope it has no effect then people will still face it because, why not?

so 5% chance to break. I broke 3 times in a row 5% * 5% * 5% = 1 in 8000 chance of happening. I should go play the lotto.

It's funny because even if directional crafting exists, it's entirely possible that people are actually facing the direction that negatively impacts their synth.

Ive always faced southeast when crafting with earth as its the way you face for better chance for HQs which I HQ alot on all my mules!

Trust the veteran! =)

Isn't the logic based on the alignment of the elements or something like that?
