Recombinator - Chances too low for just 2 Mods

Im playing SSF, and I have been using the Recombinator a lot, but it feels like the success chances are too low when im only trying to combine 2 mods.

And even if the recombine succeeds, i still have to roll another 4 random mods, which are probably going to be bad. This doesnt feel right - combining fewer mods should be a safer, more reliable "craft".

Especially in SSF, where I don’t have access to enough amount of Omens to "craft" deterministically, getting 2 good mods is already a huge effort.

- I’m spending a huge amount of time, but not progressing — constantly losing both input items and ending up with nothing useful.

Fractured mods:
I found like 8-10 orbs in 100 hours. Unlucky i guess
You have 25% chance to hit good mod
It costs free in Recombinator , but if you not succeed , it sucks

- It would be nice to "craft" more safely good 3 mods - you have gamble another 3 mods anyway.
Its not perfect, but atleast good. And would feel like im progressing somewhere.

I second this take: Recombinator should be almost 100 percent for just 2 mods. Everything after is going to be rng anyway.

But then it won't be a gatcha game anymore... Trust the Tencent's vision

it shouldn't make items disappear, so we can waste more currency

Blasphemy! Your words against RNGeezus is sacrilegous!

I think the problem is that the chances are higher on lower tier mods.
So the recombinator "works" well during the campaign for getting decent 2mod items.
And it seams like GGG are at the time mostly testing things for the campaign.

But I agree I think the drop off % chance on higher tiers is ridiculous atm.
I can select two mods and have like 3% chance. Its not even worth trying, and even if it was just a matter of costing currencies then maybe you could endure it but the worst part is that you would need to spend 9 hours buying 100 bases from people on the trade site.

I saved up a bunch of Sceptres and currency over a week or so to try to recombine. Every single one of them poofed. Nothing was below a 45% chance. Gave up on that pretty quick.

I enjoy Expedition too. So the one thing I've got to interact with is kinda pointless.

Yep. It sucks. I expect the plan is to add some different RNG crafting system for future league mechanics. Essentially they're going to use better crafting as the incentive for their league mechanics.

If the base game had a good crafting system, why would anyone ever play the league mechanic? It's not like the league mechanic can be fun outside of crafting and loot. /s
