Spontaneous Creation of Green Asset?

edited September 2013 in General Discussion (PC)
This happened to me just today. I was leveling up four of my Mixologists (L2), when lo and behold I popped a Green Alchemist (L3) as opposed to the White Assistant Alchemist (L3) I was expecting. Has this happened to anyone else, and if so, it there any particular mechanic to it as far as anyone knows?

    Looks like the kind of bug that may get fixed much faster than the one in which Green/Blue assets vanish after leveling up...

    If PWE is reading this, I am already leveling up such assets. If I get a green one, I DID NOT have prior knowledge of any possible bug :-)

    Just got the response from the devs:
    There's a rare chance that when you combine Common T2 you will get an Uncommon T3.

    Fantastic news which I am really happy to hear. I had no idea that this could happen. :D

    So it's not a bug, it's a feature???? O.o OMG thanks devs if it's true! But the chance is really low then. ^^

    That does explain the number of times I've seen people come in to argue that you can get greens from whites when explaining that normally, no you can't.

    I mean, it's cool that it's intentional, but it also muddies the picture a bit for explaining to anyone how upgrading dudes works.

    It's a rare chance. Normally when you upgrade T2 Assets you will receive a common (white) T3 Asset in return.

    Occassionally, if luck is with you, the reward will be an Uncommon (green) T3 asset.

    Pretty simple (and awesome) news IMO. I don't see it as "muddying" any explanation.

    Niiiiice. I had no idea this was possible and assumed reports of it were a bug like everyone else has said. :D

    It's nice it gives a non pay to win option to get the top speed assets.

    Though sad a similar options doesn't exist for the quality assets.

    That's good. I always thought it kind of lame to have to buy the asset packs and hope you get lucky that way. Any idea on the chance to "win" an upgrade?

    It would be nice if you could upgrade the T3 common to T3 uncommon, even if only as a rare task. Now THAT would rock.

    Would be cool if you could add assets to raise your chance by a little bit.

    It's not a bug it's a feature? Or the percentage rate that this bug appears is so low that we do not wish to investigate its cause? It must be .001 or lower.

    Pretty darn rare chance...heh...been making T3 (common) Leadership minions, so far up to 50 of them (setting up all my toons with them for leadership grinding) and so far not one 'special' version.

    Oh well, white is good enough for me, green would just be bonus points...'specially as I'm almost done cranking them out anyway. ^_^

    It's...almost exciting. The only problem is, for high-end crafting, it's the tools not the people that's important.

    So... but they can add also to the tooltip this new possibility... otherwise without old Nightmare Lockbox...we can't find new more R3 green or blue (i.e. in leadership)

    pls consider to insert this one in the patch of tomorrow
