Feel my pain

RNG is this game is just utter **** sometimes.. most times... but this just hurts.





It was so focused & shiny in the Mod store that I decided to buy it.

And then I leveled it right up to 12 to see what would happen.

And I cried, and screamed, and thought this game needs a better way of doing this, because this was just sad, so very sad.

Ultra

you are overreacting a lot here

Baby_Yoda

You have a 1/4 chance.

Why does the game need to change it?


Oh ok so we can all have 28 speed secondaries? Yeah ok

This experience is nothing new. We all know what it feels like. Zero reason to make a post about it.

If you cannot handle a store mod not rolling any speed ups then don't buy it.

That's like a 3 time a day occurence for some of us bro.

Your first mistake was buying a mod of less than gold quality in the mod store.

The second was buying such a mod that had a 50% chance of rolling defense every upgrade.

The third was upgrading the mod under royal guard. Everyone knows that if you use a support character it will roll on speed, but if you upgrade it from a tank character's screen, it'll roll on defense since the game assumes you want a tanky tank

I didn’t know this and my mind is now blown after upgrading some mods on a support and tank to test this out! Thank you for making my mod strategy 100000000 times better! :-D

Color doesn’t matter, it’s what’s inside that counts.

Offense set cross with %offense primary, offense & speed secondaries. I'd seriously consider taking a chance on that. Easier to come by more credits than good mods.

A Gold mod costs even more and no guarantee it would have got more hits on speed or offense either.

I agree. Only cuz it's an offense mod. And I have a lot more than 13m to gamble.

I have a lot less than 13m to gamble partly because I take chances on mods like that.

That's why you don't buy mods with defense if you want speed to go up.

He didn't buy a mod with defense, he bought a mod with speed, offense and two unknown secondaries. And the nature of those remaining secondaries has no bearing on whether the speed secondary increases further.

Game would have been better off with removing all speed from mods,rng on top of rng is never fun

What would you call every turn of a mirror match being determined by a coin flip, then?

A gold mod costs less in overall resources because a good blue one will also cost you slicing mats, while a good gold one will let you farm more mods instead of wasting that energy on slicing mats.

This is why you don't spread superstitious nonsense.

MasterSeedy

Obviously one should only slice mods while traveling faster than the rotation of the earth if one wants a speed secondary to increase. I'm still working on determining which bulletproof vests cause your mods to increase Defense when worn while slicing mods and which vests cause increases in protection.

Expect a public update on that at the end of summer, but my subscribers can have access to my crucial what-to-wear-while-slicing results for just $100/month.

GeneralCalrissian

I feel your pain because like many have said it happens to most folk daily but tbh, 21 defense on a tank like RG imo isn't a total let down

@Jarvind @littleMAC77
I am gonna say MAC's was 1st mistake. If you are buying Offense type Offense primary then CC Speed and offense should be on there. Mods like that are only worth upping if they give you a guaranteed stat toward what you are looking for

Whatelse73

I have about 45 mods on characters now, of all various color/level, with 20+ defense on them. It's painful when it does that, but I usually expect defense to roll. If I see a flat or % defense as a secondary I usually skip it, but with mods in the store, it does suck you can't see all the secondaries unless they're gold. Hopefully it works better for you the next time though!
