Just today I am having as problem with using said kits
When I use them it says `kit broken` and I loose the kit and I do not get any contents
Is anyone else having this problem and being a newbie I`m not sure how or where to report it

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance :)

    It's percentage based (I think 75% chance). Often it succeeds but at times I get even a couple of Fails in a row.
    That's why I make sure I always have at least 8-10 of each

    I've been playing for 3 weeks and never had this problem ..... then today, Every one I use is broken ...... ? I still think there is something else going on with these. I went back into game and tried 3 more ....... ALL BROKEN !!!
    So I have now gone through 14 kits, TODAY ...... and none have worked ???

    Yes had the same happen with a religion kit about 10 times in a row, even after I changed nodes. Not impossible but literally about a one-in-a-million chance.

    Really ????? So that is one of the drawbacks of beta I guess ...... That really sucks !
    Should I put a ticket in about it, or not and if so where do I do that

    I just assumed they had a chance to break.

    I had a rotten amount of luck a few days back and broke 9 in a row.....but remember it is 75% chance each time..the odds do not get better the more you use it is 75% everytime you use one.

    I can see a couple in a row breaking but 9 or 14 in a row is excessive, and a rip off. I still paid game money for them, so I am pissed off.:mad:

    So putting in a ticket on it is useless, I take it

    No you have failed to understand.....it is 75% chance each single time...doesn't matter If it fails 100 times it is still 75% chance each single time.
    I wish I was better at maths and I could explain it better.

    I've had those things break on me since I first started playing last week. AFAIK, they've always had a chance to break, so I don't think the devs are going to agree they're "broken" & putting in a ticket would thus be a waste of time.

    I'm not saying the game is broken beyond repair.

    But even if these kits are broken, fixing them right now would be like fixing a squeeky rocking chair on the Titanic

    Random is random. Kits are not broken.

    You will soon have enough gold to buy more kits than you ever need. Though it is amazing when 7 kits break in the row, probability is funny that way.

    this is an intended game mechanic. you win some you lose some. think of it as a minor gold sink. very minor considering you get a tonne of those kits just killing mobs.

    Yeah, the kits are supposed to do that. Mouse over them, and it says "...with a 75% chance of success." Which means a 25% chance of failure and kit breaking. It's not a bug.

    RNG. with 75% chance usually mean you can get it, but there is a chance that you hit that 25% 10 times in a row. "improbable" but still possible.
    To grow old is inevitable, to grow up is optional.
    Please review my campaign and I'll return the favor.

    It's funny because it's not even amazing. Same chance of happening than any other combination you could think of. 1 in 4^7. That's what make probabilities so awkward I guess. It doesn't matter what the result is, it still has the same chance as any other combination to happen if you think about it.

    My previous record with my Rogue is breaking 6 Nature Kits in a row, and then giving up because I was out of Nature Kits. I almost never succeed on the first try with Nature nodes, and while my worst string is 6 (could've gone on longer, but I ran out of kits), I've also had a few runs of 4 and 5. I had started to wonder if there was some line of hidden code somewhere that said 'Rogues hate Nature! Nature shall take its revenge, muahaha!'. It sure feels that way, sometimes. :p
