2 Consecutive Fails at 100% Success Chance!

I thought this was fixed already..
So why did I just burn the mats trying Twice to make a bow, and Burned it on Purple both times with a displayed 100% chance?

And when is the % chance going to be changed to actually reflect something remotely similar to the chances of success?

A 50% success chance on a white item, is about right.. you fail about half the time.
A 50% success chance on a green item, is about a 40% chance.
A 50% success chance on a blue item, is closer to 25%

I understand it being more difficult as the quality improves, but the Success chance shown should indicate the Actual rate, not what it would be IF it were a baseline item.

    I've had this before. Many forum topics on it. It's a bug.

    At least once when I had one hundred percent chance and clicked improve, the warning message said 10%--so I cancelled before finalizing the attempt. Now I'm careful to check the warning before proceeding, regardless of what it said initially when I added the upgrade reagents.

    I notice it as well, and it should Display 90%, not 100%.
    For that matter, once we reach 90% - we shouldn't be able to add more materials if the 10% is constant regardless..

    I guess I got exceptionally unlucky.. given that two consecutive 10% chances in a row is a 1% chance.

    To that whole subset of players who really want to chime in that Each Time is still 10%, no matter what happened before.. True - but I'm talking about sequence series probability, not individual chances.

    Never failed on any improvements. Because I noticed it's bugged. You really have to pay attention because clicking improve at 100%, might bring up a smaller percentage in the next popup window.

    Don't click 'accept' unless you double check everything.

    The other annoying bug is when you have the correct ingredients and your materials are still highlighted in red. And you have to bump the scroll arrows back and forth to fix it.

    Annoying as hell.
