Change to Cartel Color Crystals and Weapon Tunings with Legacy Weapons | 07.11.2017, 10:42 PM
Hey all,
Let’s review today’s Crystals and Weapon Tuning change and what caused it. With Patch 5.2.2, we made a change so everyone could take advantage of the it’s been that way for a long time, but Weapon Tunings were new and being able to use them across your entire is a cool benefit.
What happened is some players would add the Cartel Market could also be collection unlocked this way, and in fact, as players have clearly stated in this thread, they’ve been doing that for a very long time.
We did not impact the ability to use Crystals and Tunings to be transferred using your legacy weapons as you did previously (no cost/no removing of the items first).
As most of you already know, we do not know this makes some of you unhappy, but the loophole needed to be closed and we did that in today’s patch.
