that's the question with the new Xpak on the vendors green barrels and hilts now need the Artifact Unlock whats up with that? can use blues but not green well done EA this new Xpak has more bugs and glitches then i have seen in a long time for a MMO that has been out awhile maybe 20 years ago but today this many in a Xpak...some one is REALLY dropping the ball on quality control.
A bug that is on the live server could easily be non-existent on the test servers. This is nature of MMOs. You never know what can go wrong on the live servers. It's a bug and it's going to be fixed. But there is no ETA.
I'm personally not affected by any bugs, so I regard this expansion far superior to Shadow of Revan in regards to bugs.
I'm personally affected by this barrel and hilt Artifact Authorization bug on all my characters, leveling progress has stopped and I am no longer playing because of this bug, so I regard this expansion as the worst expansion of SWTOR in regards to bugs.
Barrels and hilts are too expense on GTN on my server and crafting barrels and hilts now is very time consuming and complex compared with crafting green barrels and hilts prior to 4.0... so I do not see either GTN or Crafting as an acceptable workaround, at least not for Players with few credits.
I very much hope the Devs get this bug fixed very soon.
There needs to be a patch to fix this. Ever since 4.0, I can't upgrade hilts and barrels anymore.
