It's only a feeling so far, I haven't created enough to be sure, but it's taking me about 20~30 cuts to get two perfects when it used to take me about 10~20.. Did they nerf the perfect proc rate in addition to nerfing the node spawn rates?

Pre-Patch 5.1, I got 388 perfects and 3442 regular, for a proc rate of 10.13%.
I'll put a mark in my numbers and report back once I have a decent sample size for post patch.
So far today I've got 70 perfects and 677 regular for a yield of 9.37%. Not sure that's a large enough sample size, but I suspect the chance hasn't been changed.
OK, so a few days later and I have 133 perfects and 1005 uncommons since the patch. 10.11%. Rolling that number into my overall it's 501 perfects and 4447 uncommons for 10.13%. I'm now confident that the patch didn't change the rate![]()
I also had the feeling it changed but now I'm just starting to think it was luck.. I made 40 greens in a row, and I was getting super pissed, so as I start moving my mouse to exit the JC pane, I popped out four perfects in a row. I was like..... WTF. Does this mean I should or should not play the lottery?

For reference, the odds of not getting any perfects in:
10 cuts: 34.87%
20 cuts: 12.16%
30 cuts: 4.24%
40 cuts: 1.48%
50 cuts: 0.52%
... and in her whimsy, she overwhelms the brave.
Some will; Some won't - So what? Let em die poor.
Well, folks - now you can figure it out on your own.
Odd.. I came here to see if anyone else had noticed a drop in the perfect rate. I use to hardly ever not get 2 or 3 from a stack of 20, and today I'm lucky if I get 1, and I've gone through about two dozen stacks. Guess I'm just having a really bad luck day.
I've seen several cases where i've gone 30+ before I get one... but then the next few usually make up for the 'average'... RNG just usually isn't smiling on me, haha!
