What is going on with reverse engineering?

The other day I was able to Reverse Engineer my bonded attachments for MK-8 components to make augmentation kit's... now today I got nothing at all from Reverse Engineering 10 of them... what gives?

If BW "fixed" this (assuming it was a bug), they should have put it in the patch notes...it's hard enough trying to figure out what was and wasn't intended as it is. I noticed this behavior, but I couldn't see how it would be profitable (RE'ing didn't return more mats than used to craft). Edited by eartharioch

They have to make the bonded mats available to RE for mk-8's the only other option is archives if you don't want to use blues and the archive area constantly freezes the game for me. I had a problem with the synthweaving and artifice RE's, kept getting an error message and no loot. I didn't have that problem with the metal based ones. Edited by Iklossis

So, BUMPING this because it just happened to me.... Granted I haven't RE'd anything in a while (maybe a month or so, around 4.1 launch), but i just RE'd 1,450 bonded attachments and got ZERO augmentation slot component MK-9's while fully expecting to get 1,450 of them.... and with the drastic reduction in mats received back from RE'ing... this would make for a a HUGE loss for me...

 

Read the patch notes for 4.1 and 4.2 again.... twice.... and still saw nothing that would explain this new behavior...

This is an intermittent bug.

 

I recently tested EVERY crafting skills' ability to RE its components and received MK-9 augmentation slot kit components as a result of the RE.

 

Now maybe something changed with 4.2, but prior to today it worked.

 

Stay tuned...

Same thing happened to me on 550 level Artifice, Cybertech and Synthweaving. Also, on low level Armstech. No augmentation components and low return of mats.

I was unable to sustain logon last night or this morning due to internet issues so I was unable to test.

I can confirm this is happening to me as well lost 300 Fresh red cell grafts got 0 mk-9 slot components Edited by Geole

And I REed 50 Fresh Red Cell Grafts on Saturday (3/26/2016) and got 50 MK-9 slot components.

 

This is a weird bug.

 

Question (I am simply trying to figure out what the differences are between you and me):

 

how many did you RE at once? i.e. did you RE all 300 in one batch? I did 50 at once.

 

Maybe there is something with the new stack size that breaks RE for components? The old stack size was 99. maybe anything below 100 (99 or less) works and anything above does not.

You may be on to something psandak.

Lately I only try for these when I have 100 extra.

But then I test 1, to make sure I get the component. Then I do 99 of them to get my stack of 100.

So far that's always worked. I've never done 100+ though.

BioFail at it's best.. even the bugs are bugged LMFAO!

Did you bother to read the whole thread? How about just my posts on the second page? Did you watch the video?

 

I think I have come up with a perfectly legit workaround.

 

How many components are you REing at a time?

 

Because I have never done more than 99 and I have never had an issue

Well I have
that REing 99 cell grafts works just fine.

 

I'll be honest, I do not want to RE 100+ for fear that I am right :p

You've piqued my interest.

 

If I do 100, and it works, would a screenshot be enough? I don't feel like making a video.

Don't see why not. two would be better: one of the stack you are REing the other of the results.

I can confirm this weekend there's still a bug with RE'ing red cell grafts to get mk-9 slot components. I opened a ticket, of course they didn't do anything and weren't helpful at all.

The biggest issue with this bug is that it appears to be quite random...it cannot be reproduced on a regular basis. When this happens in ANY troubleshooting it is exceedingly difficult to determine the cause. They did not do anything because there is nothing they can do. Do not blame the tier 1 CS because this is a Tier 3 problem.

 

update: 7:10PM MDT. I just REed 40 Red Cell Grafts and got 40 MK-9 slot kit components (plus materials of course :))
