Community AdminThanks for the posts, just to reiterate this is being investigated.
I see that it is being investigated, but this has severely hindered my ability to play on quite a few toons and I'm sure that I'm not the only one. Some info on the progress of the investigation would be nice. As it stands now, there hasn't even been a post by the devs in the official forums which is the place most players would go to for information on this. Just a reply to a Reddit post and the reply here that it is being investigated.
My guess is that they're trying to figure out, code-wise, how a bunch of things got flagged that shouldn't have. That kind of investigation into the code can take time.
As for getting an official notice on the forums, this isn't noticeable by subscribers -- they all have artifact authorization anyway. Since non-subscribers can't post on the official forums, it actually makes no sense whatsoever to bring it up there.
This is being investigated as a possible bug?? Great to hear and thank you. I won't go anywhere near Reddit... my skin is too thin for that place.
I never bought any lightsaber crystals from CM so I haven't seen the AA required for any crystals....yet.
I have found that all the barrels and hilts I can find on vendors to purchase require artifact authorization. I never bought AA because there wasn't that much AA in the game as I played it (my luck on loot is really bad even when I subscribe). The Level 7 "Trainee" modifiable armor for Trooper now requires AA, as does too one of the Focuses and Generators for other classes. They did not require AA last week. Barrels and Hilts from Mod vendor now say they require AA to install and so if you have never purchased AA for your account or are not a Subscriber then you are stuck with level 10 barrels and hilts and the DPS that goes with it (unless you craft barrels and hilts and I don't).
I hope this is a bug and not intended, otherwise I'm done.
Welp, I gotta give 'em credit for trying....but this time the "replacement emails" i received were packed full of completely inferior items to what I'd lost....
I'm also having issues with Cartel Market level 10 colour crystals and the level 7 vendor trooper and bounty hunter Trainee gear requesting artifact authorisation.
The concrete crystals I have that request artifact authorisation are:
Advanced Blue Outline Indestructible Crystal
Advanced Purple Outline Hawkeye Crystal
Advanced Orange-Red Eviscerating Crystal
Advanced Blue-Cyan-Indigo Indestructible Crystal
Green Hawkeye Empeth Crystal
Advanced Sea Green Hawkeye
Advanced Black-Red Striated Hawkeye Crystal
Any of the crystals that are purple quality be they cartel market or pre-order that I could previously use as prefered status now require artifact authorization. The black and yellow pre-order crystals, the pink and purple cartel pack crystal, I think it is from the bounty pack or the outer rim pack or one of those packs, I cannot remember, and other packs crystals I am sure.
