Nee-Elder Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 As title states ^ i just noticed today that the Dantooine achievements golden glowy BUFF called Yarvok's Gratitude is grayed-out on my toolbar & inventory AND when you try to click/activite it now it says onscreen red message: "You can't use this here" ( i tried on my guild Flagship , then on regular public Fleet ) I'm absolutely certain it worked prior to the March 28th update 7.2.1 , so something with that patch ( maybe 64-bit effect ? ) has now broken this item. @CommunityTeam please add to the current Known Issues sticky thread? -- thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nee-Elder Posted April 4, 2023 Author Share Posted April 4, 2023 i realize u guys are super busy and this is low-priority issue, but please @CommunityTeam could you add this report into the current 'Known Issues' thread along with all the other issues you've been adding there? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystal_Mind Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Not confirmed. Yarvok's gratitude works fine on all my toons that have it. Got any further info for reproduction, nee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got any further info for reproduction, nee? hmm, interesting Well, i guess that explains why it isn't added to 'Known Issues' yet then. For me, the buff item isn't working on ANY of my characters. I've tried all scenarios ( removing from toolbar , different locations & instances, etc. etc. ) The only thing i haven't tried yet is purchasing a brand new version of the item from Dantooine vendor and re-testing. I'll try that later tonite and report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet still bugged for ME and i can't figure out why. i even tried purchasing a brand new version of the item from Dantooine reputation vendor and still no worky. Very frustrating and very confusing as to why it seems to only be bugged for ME & all my characters. ( regardless of Faction btw ) Not exactly sure what to do about this.

( randomly ) Very frustrating. Please @JackieKo amd @CommunityTeam do either of you have any insight from the Dev/Coder team about this item & issue?

I haven't logged in to verify whether their workaround actually works. Quote Hi septru, Thanks for contacting the Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ customer service team. My name is François-Xavier and I am sorry to hear that you experienced an issue with the Yarvok's Gratitute not working and I ll be happy to look into that for you. I’ve replied to your ticket in-game, you’ll find the answer below too. This is an issue that is currently being reviewed by our development team. However by investigating it seems to be caused by the phase your character is. if you look at your character "It's Prum", the item is working as you have selected PVE . On the other hand your character "Prumiscuous Prum", you have selected PVP and the item is not working. I switched your focus to PVE and reloaded the character and the item was then working. So while the issue is being reviewed by the Studio, if you want to be able to use the Yarvok's Gratitute, by switiching your focus to pve and reloading the character will allow you to do so I understand the solution is far from being ideal but it should allow you to use the item while it is being reviewed In the meantime, should you require further assistance with any other issues, please do not hesitate to contact us again. I wish you a very good day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does work, so thanks for the info. So apparently this item cannot be used in PVP anymore, which is a small bummer since i play all my characters in PVP 'instances' on every planet 99% of my playtime. However, @JackieKo and @CommunityTeam please i would still like to know if this situation with this item is a bug or something working-as-intended that just wasn't put into the patch notes?

This is intended that the Yarvok's Gratitude item can't be used in PvP areas. Our team is currently looking into updating the tooltip to mirror this information. We'll add it to the known issues list for visibility: This is intended that the Dantooine Achievement item Yarvok's Gratitude can't be used in PvP areas. The tooltip will be updated to mirror this information. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ufion Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 This is intended that the Dantooine Achievement item Yarvok's Gratitude can't be used in PvP areas. The tooltip will be updated to mirror this information. Why though, please clarify? This includes PVP instances of planets, which a lot of people like myself use, so why are they included? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost entirely PvP or travel on PvP instances. I want my 150 million credits back. Please stop retroactively changing the effect of items. As a player that earned these items, this is disgustingly insulting. It tells me as a player that you don't care about my time or effort. This is the second time you have done this. The first was with PvP ranked battle flags. Edited April 18, 2023 by septru 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystal_Mind Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 (edited) Agreed. I can't think of any reason for Yarvok's gratitude to be unusable in such a large chunk of the game. This item was introduced in 5.10.3 -- that's four years of it being fine, and then you all randomly change it in 7.2.1 without a patchnote or explanation? Very uncool. Edit: Seriously, though. It's a personal cosmetic. It doesn't affect anyone but the player who uses it. Why change it? o.O Edited April 18, 2023 by Crystal_Mind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QFE ^ , i am similarly baffled and would really like to hear from Dev/Coder Team as to exactly why this change was made ( and stealth-nerfed at that ) . Not gonna make me un-sub or do anything more than this forum reply. But still, very perplexing & rather disappointing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillerbees Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Adding my voice to request the reason why this appearance item cannot be used in PVP - it was fine for so many years. It was expensive at the time it was first launched and was one of the more fun items introduced to the game. Are you guys trying to knock the fun out of the game or doing so unintentionally? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegaMist Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Adding my voice to WHY? Why would you change functionality on such an expensive item and limit players ability to show it off? Baffling and disappointing. 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carba Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Hmm. Seems likely they plan to introduce a similar item at great cost to use in PvP. Makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
