[TI] Bug with upgrades

Not sure if this is a bug or the algorithm made by BigPoint has been made to cheat people out of Uridium but I have found a problem with the upgrade system when upgrading multiple items at once which I can replicate each time.

I follow the guide of upgrading at the best possible cost so was doing all 8 Iris at 30%, and only 1 succeeded. I done the remaining 7 at 30%, a only 1 succeeded. I done the 6 at 30% and any guesses what happened?

So with the 5 left I done 1 at a time on 30% and all 5 of them succeeded. It seems that the system is either bugged or has been coded to only allow one of a group to succeed.

 

And you know what they will say don't you ? (coincidence)

 

What i do is when upgrading item i mostly do 45% till its level 10. 55% at 11-12, 65% at 13-14 and 100% for 15.
most of the time its success rate till level 11. After that % at your own risk.
And yes that is what i do all the time.

 

I follow this guide: http://www.bigpoint.com/darkorbit/board/threads/upgrading-cost-charts.12614/

And yes I expect 30% to fail almost a quarter of the time but each time I done more than one, only one would succeed and when doing just one, it succeeded 3 times in a row at 30%...

Maybe I will test more and do 1 more at a time a 5% and see but seems buggy/fixed that when doing multiple all except one succeeded...

 

Just forget those guides. I just wait for upgrade hour and drop it at 100%

 

This. You never lose out. Everything becomes worth it.

 

But I've just done 5 upgrades in a row at 30% and every single one succeeded .... anyone get this? It seems at least one of every group of upgrades works even if there's just one... except 5% chance failed lol

Where can I find out about this Upgrade Hour?

 

Meh so after having so much success, 2 in a row of 40% just failed lol... just close this ;P

 

This is the best method. This is how I managed to get where I am now .

 

true I have noticed this 3 days ago I try'd to upgrade my shields and it was failing over and over and over when I upgraded my drones 2 month ago they never failed that many times back to back it would fail once's or twice's then succeed 5 times then fail again but now its failing over and over again.Either the chart is outdated now bc DO made changes or yes there is a bug so I noticed it and stooped upgrading because im not going to keep wasting uri.

 

I upgraded all of my items(drones, lf4s, b02s) with 100% chance(never tried less), with rebate when possible and at upgrade hour, now I don't need anymore upgrades . I suggest everyone doing it like this..(I'm a semi-free player-only premium and rebate and not permanent).

 

Thank you all for your input on this players issue.

When upgrading, the only guaranteed success is with the 100% upgrade, the rest are all just chance.
Sometimes upgrading at a lower percentage will succeed... others it will not. This is the chance you take when doing a lower percentage.

Does the OP have any further questions on this topic?
