Hello,
I was able to buy a Militia Cardiac Stimulant Blueprint for 4800 AUR on the market. This item is unusable. With it on a suit and the PG/CPU within threshold, the suit shows as "INVALID".
However, it shows INVALID with no descriptor like (CPU exceeded).. just INVALID.
I took pictures for you.
HERE.
So, you're selling items for "real money" that aren't usable at all.
Thanks! |

You can run a suit with the PG at max, it's orange in that case, not red (it has to go over to make it invalid). When your PG/CPU is over, it'll display that with the invalid message as well. It also shows as invalid when you're fitting it (as opposed to after, like this). The item has no skill requirements. You can't fit it on a suit by itself with just a weapon either.
It's also worth noting, they seemed to have taken this item type out of the game. This BPO is the only one you'll find. |

Equipping it makes any fitting invalid regardless of PG/CPU, even if you stick it on a suit with nothing but a weapon and the BPO. Probably this item should be pulled from the market/get a blanket refund. Or be made to actually work.
Well, since they took the item type off the market, I guess just making them work is unlikely. But a refund would be nice. |

If it helps, I could make a video of my finding the unusable item in the market, checking the reqs, seeing in fitting that it says I can use it, pulling up the purchase screen again for 4800 AUR, then showing you once again how it can't be fitted. Please advise... |

I can also verify that it exists if you play in 480p. You can but the blueprint both in the market proper, and through the fitting system. It will ALWAYS show up in the fitting options screen because it has no skill requirements.... despite making your suit unusable. |

I'm trying out the 480p thing, so it'd probably look a bit ugly. |

After today's downtime, I can report that the Cardiac Stimulant is still available for purchase through both the market and the fitting screen, and still makes any fitting invalid despite requiring no skills and not going over on CPU/PG. |

I'm curious if the fix will involve removal from market + submit a help ticket for reimbursal, or just making it usable... |

As an update, today's storefront update has not removed the unusable Militia Cardiac BPO from the market, nor has it been refunded, nor has it been fixed to be usable. Unaware gamers will still be able to purchase it straight out of the fitting screen, and then find it doesn't work (while the fitting screen suggests it will).
It also has very low PG/CPU reqs, making it a tantalizing item to shove into a fit that only has a bit of PG/CPU left to spare. |

Bleeargh. Whichever way they choose to solve this, it would be nice to know if a help ticket is needed or if it'll be solved in some other way. |

Ticket was filed, but I figured I'd update this. As of the store update to day (5/28), the unusable militia BPO is still: unusable, available for purchase through the fitting screen, and available for purchase through the regular market AFTER you see it for sale in the fitting screen.

Still on the store after downtime today. Don't forget... it's potentially a lot of help tickets if people keep buying it. |

I have to assume that you still need awareness on this issue, as it's not part of your "known issues" list. |

After today's downtime, I still have the BPO, and it's still quite unusable with no skill reqs. Thanks! |

Good question. The help ticket I submitted is still unanswered. Thread was made 12 days ago, help ticket sent 9 days ago. Not sure what expected turn around should be. I have photographic evidence... I could make a video. It's easily reproducible. Not sure what else there is to say about it. |

i can confirm that this item is broken however i cant really complain i am the lucky sob that got all the militia bo for almost nothing
It's probably complicating how they want to "solve" this, since a global reimbursement would catch people like you. They did respond to my help ticket today, something along the lines of being aware of it, and looking into solutions. I take it they'd prefer not to give you a ton of Aurum, but they don't really want the item in-game anymore either because they did away with that item type.
So, until they figure out a solution, I have 4,800 Aurum locked up in this. |
