Anyway, this time I put my dukes up to express how I feel about the luck system and what it affects.
First before I get in to anything, if someone can link me something that is official (Not by like PSOW or some other fan site) that states what luck affects, then please do so and I will shut my mouth immediately. Anyways, on with the show...
In study of the PSUpedia section on luck, they say that it affects the following...
"Weapon Grinding
Item drop rates (details unknown)
Rare item drop rates (details unknown)
Rare enemy appearance rates (details unknown)
Critical Rate (details unknown)"
First of all the "details unknown" part is vague right off the bat. Now I can see how luck may raise the probability of item drop rates. That is easily modified to your luck when you make a party. But then we have an activity such as grinding a weapon, synthesizing an item, your critical chance, and rare enemy appearances. I couldn't seem to find anything relating to this subject on the PSU site or the manual, so either I missed it or there is a lot they left for us to assume and/or find out ourselves.
In an atmosphere such as a shop where the area is not catered to your status like when you lead the party with your luck, or any kind of similiar situation...how would your luck affect anything? There is a table on PSUpedia, that notes each and every success chance based on grinder base quality and the already grind on the weapon. If they are correct that luck is a factor, then how can any of this be justified? If you are say, given a 50% chance of success, but you have a full golden star of luck, what sense does it make to think that luck will make you end up on the success side of that 50% more than it will the failure side? A probability is a probability, so I don't get how some people think it will affect their synths, or their weapon grindage. Again, I speak out more from an unknowledgeable standpoint more than a combative one, so if you know more about this than I do without saying "It just does, we just know it does", then I'm put at ease. But continuing to believe your luck will put weight in your dice is silly.
