Last night during the Beast 3 star luck I noticed something for the third time about grinding. This has happened for too often for me to be considered a lucky coincidence anymore so I thought I would let some of you in on this to see what you think.
I think that there has to be some sort of hidden factor affecting grinding success relevant to how much you have played a character.
Sounds bogus? Well take this into account...
Last night I attempted to grind 4 Cubo Dunga to +5. Here are my results:
Cubo1: Grinder A+1-Success(Guaranteed)
Cubo1: Grinder A+1-Success(Very High)
Cubo1: Grinder A+1-Success(Very High)
Cubo1: Grinder A+1-Success(High)
Cubo1: Grinder A+6-Success(High)
Cubo2: Grinder A+1-Success(Guaranteed)
Cubo2: Grinder A+1-Success(Very High)
Cubo2: Grinder A+1-Success(Very High)
Cubo2: Grinder A+1-Success(High)
Cubo2: Grinder A+6-Success(High)
Cubo3: Grinder A+1-Success(Guaranteed)
Cubo3: Grinder A+1-Success(Very High)
Cubo3: Grinder A+1-Success(Very High)*
Cubo3: Grinder A+1-Success(High)
Cubo3: Grinder A+6-Failure(High)
Cubo4: Grinder A+1-Success(Guaranteed)
Cubo4: Grinder A+1-Failure(Very High)
Maybe it was also me, but starting at the starred grind the little meter that appears during grinding and fills up seemed to slow down compared to earlier grinds where it it shot up full in almost an instant. Blah...
Anyway, the last time Beasts had 3 star luck I had achieved identical results grinding 1 Cubo Dunga to +5 and grinding another Cubo Dunga that was already +4 to +5.
Now, I am not that experienced with grinding, but I would consider those grinds awfully lucky, especially since I used Grinder A+1 for four straight grinds.
Now, this is not an official test or anything, but anytime previously that I had tried to exploit my extra unused character slot and make some temporary character that had 3 star luck for grinding, my grinds seemed to have about a 75-25 chance of success at Very High and High was almost guaranteed failure, having all but one of my attempts at a High grind fail.
Any of this ring a bell? Does anyone else have a higher success rate on grinds using their main characters as opposed to a temporary alt that they just made for the luck?
