Capture rate

[Uwingy]

Is it just me, or is in higher level, no matter what capture rate it is, its harder to capture a pal? I think from what I remember, during low levels, even when the capture is 50%, the number of success capture is very high, like I can get 2 or 3 pals low health at the same time, capture them I get all three, but on higher levels, I feel like the number of times I failed at 70% or 80% are very high/often. Is there some sort of hidden capture rate to make it harder the later the game is?

Make sure you're looking at the correct %, it's the value you see when you hold the button but don't throw the ball yet. The % you see on the circle after the ball hits is a progress bar, nothing more.

Capture rates are generally lower at higher levels, even with good balls you're seldom looking at more than a 25% chance. On the other hand that's counterbalanced by the fact that you're easily able to manufacture high level balls very easily.

I assure you I am looking at the % correctly, and to clarify what I was talking about, when I say at higher levels, I am not talking about higher level pals, but my character being high levels with upper level lifmunk effigy capture rate increase.

I realised this when trying to capture 10 for each pals for the bonus exp, and even when facing lowel level pals (lvl 20s, I am at 40), I found that even when the capture rate say 80%, I failed way to often compared to when I start playing capturing small pals even at 50ish%

The amount of time it frustated me and made me have to resort to higher level balls for lower level pals is stupid imo

If you look at the factor in the settings , I don't know if the percetages take that factoe into account. If it is 0.7, that would mean 100% is really 70%. If you want a setting like that then you will have to deal with it.

You told it you wanted difficulty HIGHER than the displayed level.

You can fail a 98% 5 times in a row if you're unlucky. It's an anomaly but it's still possible.

Gamers have been spoiled by dice rolls skewed in their favor and people generally don't understand probability. There's your answer.

Got feeling dev trolling with mega sphere and up. I been failing 65% 4 times but with blue
20% eish spehere only failed 2 times in whole game of me lv1 to 25 with my friends.

[Caz]

My issue is that even the top spheres end up having very poor chances to capture high level pals. Even with the effigy capture rate upgrades, a lot of the high level pals have less than 10% chance to be captured. This is more frustrating than fun.

The capture rates are inaccurate. They're lower than what they display.

I definitely don't understand what you are saying for both of your replies

Oh I understand that perfectly, but if it is just an anomaly which saying I am the luckiest person on lower levels but the unluckiest at higher levels, feels weird

Honestly I want to believe that bcs of what I am experiencing

[Tazz]

i realised this capture rate was not accurate, when i first time on palworld at level 1 i pick that blue pal sphere on the ground and trow it at level 10 Eikthyrdeer it was successful but when i at level 17 with capture power level 3 even Daedream level 5 sometimes always fail that small flying purple monster always escapes even though in 80%
