I have to say this is BS. The system that Sony is using is punishing the honest player right along with the "evil genius" player that knows how to exploit the no serial number exploit. I haven't a clue how to exploit this but i am being punished just as hard as the exploiter. U.S. courts work so that 100 guilty men are set free so that one innocent man is not hung.
Sony please explain to me how you are gaining anything by punishing me and other innocents.....Seems to me your job should be to figure out who these exploiters are and punish them....not the rest of us.
The thing with no serial numbers was that if you used a loot drop with no serial number in a schematic, any other loot drop like that could be used in the factory run.
Example: I got a Krayt Scale with no serial. I go ahead and use it in a Ubese Segments Schematic. I could use ANY scale in a factory run and it will have the same stats as my original factory run no matter what the stats of those scales are.
But since you can't even insert these no-serial number RIS parts into construction, this isn't possible.

That is exactly why it was made not possible- the issue was specifically the use of non-serialed extraordinary and legendary nightsister shards and layers for armor and krayt tissue for weapons, but the fix applied to all looted components without serial numbers.

Right. like i said Jaato the innocent are being punished. Wrong way to do things in most peoples opinions. So i still have useless woolamander chips i worked for months and to collect and still can't make RIS through no fault of my own..stop punishing me and others that are experiencing the same thing because some creepzoid cheats....he is only using Sonys flawed code to cheat with...can't cheat if you arent' given to tool to cheat with in the first place....which makes my wonder why i am being punished for a mistake that Sony made...... Oh and thx...now you have posted how the cheaters cheated. Great.
What are you doing to fix this common cumminity problem....you have not addressed that part of the question Jatto..

The developers rarely provide a definitive timetable as to when particular fixes will make it to test and live. All I do is present community problems to them and relay the information I receive in return. Without concrete information, and permission to disclose that information, there's nothing more I can tell you. I've inquired about this issue several times and each time I've been told that it's on the list of fixes.
With regard to the details of the old exploit, it was widely known and there were several posts on this board regarding it. Given that it was patched about two months ago, without a time machine that information is useless.

yeah my buddy had this problem and I had to give him my Bones so he could complete his RIS. He got a response from a CSR saying they are 'working on the issue'.

That is how long my harrower bone chips have been useless. Again, Sony needs to find a better way to fix problems they create for the game than by blanket punishment. Get the cheaters not the honest folks.

Why can't a CSR just trade us in game with serial numbered Parts for our non-serial numbered parts?

Yes...i agree since the serial number thing is still broken why not trade us in game. At any rate.....my woolamander bone chips still don't have serial numbers........Fix please.

Yastar -
The devs don't read the boards, just keep on sending in a /bug ticket every day. Also, fill in a trouble ticket but do not delete after you get a response.

Did I tell anybody that my woolamander bone chips are useless? They need serial numbers.
