Fractal weapon skins bug?
The ‘Fractal Master’ collection only registers the skins I unlocked after the fractal changes. In other words; the fractal master collection doesn’t register the fractal skins I unlocked before the collection went live.
I also used a transmution charge to re-apply a frac skin I previously had to see if that would trigger the collection point, it did not.
Anyone else having problems with this?
Lots of people have the same issue. The bug is being addressed by ANet, although as far as I’ve seen, there’s no specific ETA for the fix. A lot of us are expecting or hoping that the Fractal Update patch later this month will address it.
Essentially: when HoT launched, it didn’t recognize all of the skins already in the wardrobe. There’s no way to get the game to do so now, so someone in QA has to write a script that looks up the wardrobe unlocks (for this and perhaps other collections) and applies the right unlocks to the right collections. That’s the easy part; the hard part is ensuring that such a script doesn’t cause other issues (potential issues include unlocking too much and missing an additional step that happens at the moment of unlocking/updating).
tl;dr it’s getting taken care of; we can only wait and cross our fingers that it will be soon and not just soon™.
