I receive the attached message in general chat when I first log in. upon checking most of my gear, im seeing the same issue everyone else is reporting. I did receive in game mail notifying me that someone is aware of the issue, and here's all your gear back - corrected. But when i detach ti from the mail, it all requires authorization still LOL wtf?
I got the same issue with the "Advanced Black-Yellow Fortitude Crystal" witch I got from pre-ordering SWTOR way back then 🙂
Currently prefered status!
I'm having the same issue, and expect anyone who isn't a sub and doesn't have artifact auth has it too. These crystals were never artifact equipment before, even if they did have a purple border. If they were, I wouldn't have spent my cc to unlock them in collections and wouldn't feel like I'd been cheated now. Now, the only toons I have that can use them are the ones with artifact auth. Since I unlocked these a *long* time ago, every single one of my toons (at least 8 per server) with the exception of the 3 (total) that have artifact auth are pretty much borked.
I'm not sure what "investigating" needs to be done. These crystals did not require artifact auth before the patch and now they do. That goes for all of the +41 stat level 10 crystals.
Same exact issue here. Previous artifact gear that should be authorized is not.
Are they going to fix the barrels and hilts (and Yavin implants)?
I haven't played now since this god awful patch - I've only logged in here to monitor responses. Doesn't appear that this issue will be addressed. Consider yourself lucky EA/Bioware that you managed to get me for $40 in updates while you could, because you'll never see me again (at least until this massive screw up is fixed). So utterly disappointing from great names in the industry. Don't think George Lucas would have let this go on so long without acknowledgement or resolution. Guess that's what happens when you sell out to a frozen head.
