Yeah, my perfect RIS suit is fubar'ed now that we have half a bug fix...great job SOE ! PLEASE make this fix retro for folks who have crafted RIS health-enhanced armor during the 3 month health enhancer downtime! The peko enhancers are in the amor, the devs need to just flick the switch to make them usable !





That might be impossible. The system probably doesn't keep track of what enhancers you used. The only "tracking" it does is to keep a running total of what your armor's +health amount is, and since the bug was causing that number to not be recorded, there's probably no way to tell if a pre-fix suit had enhancers in it ot not.





Not that I discount that possibility, but I am not buying it...The system database tracks all stats for each piece of armor that has a serial # including: ADKs, resists, hindrances, etc for every serial #'ed piece...It would certainly track enhancements addedduring the crafting process...I would more attribute the issue of lack of a retro fix to laziness on the part of the fixers...if you get my drift

Well, the devs have stated before that the system doesn't keep track of what components and resourses you used once the crafting is over. For example, the system keeps track of what your armor's resists are, but it doesn't keep track of the exact combination of resourses and components that go you those resists. There's no reason for it to do so. By the same token, the system keeps track of your armor's total +health bonus, but I doubt it keeps track of what you used to get that bonus, meaning that if it was bugged and not keeping track of the +health bonus, then there is no way to retroactively figure out what it should have been. I'm guessing that as soon as you finish crafting an item, the system wipes its memory of the specifics of the crafting and then creates a database entry for only the finished item and its finished stats. Considering the massive amount of crafting that's always going on in SWG, I would be surprised if they maintain an active log file of all crafting. If they do however maintain a crafting log, you might be able to talk a CSR into looking at the log to see the serial numbers of the components you used, and then you'd have to convince him to look at a database backup to see that those serial numbers match up to thehealth enhancers you used.






My thoughts exactly.

I don't think SOE would take the time to look back at every single piece or armor that was supposedly made during this broken period.


And regarding the database,the devsdid say the database doesn't keep track of what items were used in the combine.I remember reading itshortly after the CU when the conversions were getting all messed up.
