Hey,
Since Retribution was released, my invention jobs seem to be successful a lot less frequently. I used to do invention runs of 11 300 run NIS1 BPCs and get 4 to 6 successes. Since Retribution has been released, it seems that 2 to 4 successes (in 11 attempts) is the best I can do.
Am I just getting really unlucky with the random number generator or has the underlying math been changed?
Thanks for any insight! |

this question is getting asked right after every single patch and so far the answer has always been "No".
I havent heard anything nor see a reason why they should do that Boost T2 BPO`s! |

That would be awesome! There are some lousy T2 BPCs available via contract where I'd love to get the T1 BPC out of it, so if the invention chance goes negative, I could do that right? Start with a T2 BPC and end up with the correct T1 BPC (and maybe a few Datacores for good measure)??? |

I have the ability to run ten invention jobs. After the patch I was amused that out of the ten I did one afternoon I only managed to get a success on one of the ten, failed nine. I'm also eagerly awaiting the day when I win the lottery and manage a 10 out of 10 success streak. The closest I've come so far is eight out of ten. |

Silly noob...
You forgot to make a sacrifice to BOB the EVE god of random numbers.
If you do not believe in BOB talk to any long time wormhole dweller. They will tell you how important it is to make regular sacrifices to BOB.
His reach extends well beyond W-space.
Self destruct a ship near the sun with a frozen corpse in the cargo hold. Traditionally sacrificing just a shuttle will bring a positive blessing. Rumor has it the more expensive or rare the ship the bigger blessing you will receive from BOB.
I heard a story that someone sacrificed a freighter with hundreds of frozen corpses in the cargo hold, which was followed by 20 successful invention attempts in a row. |

Ignoring the whole "Invention has been NERFED!!" that happens every time the server is rebooted, I've run 11 quick invention jobs today: Nova Rage Lights were 5 of 5 successes, and BCS II's were 5 of 6 successes.

90 Mackinaw Attempts no decryptor since 12/4 with 31 success
that is 34.44% success rate, which is what i expect
nothing changed
Have had a 30% Golem success rate on 20 attempts, also the expected ratio

lol
indeed every patch we end up in this question somehow
but thats only because invention sucks bigtime as it is
;)
"chance in science" is not even a joke :p
i am sure ccp will one day come up with a great idea that will (a) make invention worth skilling for and (b) give justice back to universe aka t2 bpo current status ...

If CCP did ever nerf the invention chance unannounced, everyone would immediately notice, and the flood of posting screams would break the Internet.
I guarantee it.
Believe me, you would know. And on Patch Day.
But I will say that the chance of someone creating this same thread has indeed increased with each successive expansion. -á"I am not young enough to know everything." - Oscar Wilde |

Every patch the % chance of invention is lowered so those holding T2 BPOs have increased profits. |
