unlocked attatchments is locked?

Post » Wed Feb 09, 2011 10:02 am

Hello!
Been playing some MP now and it's great and all...
Anyway I unlocked the Reflex Sight then the Gauss Attatch for my SCAR, (and yes I unlocked it as it's attatched to my gun and which I used 1 hr ago).
But when going in to customize eq and my class, it seems as it is locked again, I can use the class as normal but if I change anything the unlocked stuff seems to need to be unlocked again, is this a bugg and will i thus lack attatchments when im lvl 50?

Its a well known bug and occurs with all kinds of unlocks (weapons, dog tags, modules, etc) and progress (challenges, EXP, etc). Its because the game only saves any changes youve made when you LEAVE a ranked server. Its best to make any changes to your classes (including unlocking items) while being in a ranked server pre-game lobby.

You wont lose out on attachments in the long run as the rollback gives you your unlock token back.

... or not. As for me I'm level 48 at the moment and I'm missing 8 more mystery dogtags meaning even if I get the 2 more for level 49 and 50 I'm going to miss 6 more (and btw I'm lev12 on the modules ofc) + the upper half of my support bonus assassment is locked still which shouldn't be + ... but yeah you should do what Hedgehog8 said cause it usually solves the problem but unfortunately there's no guarantee that you won't lose out on attachments/unlocks/dogtags/stats unlike he or she said. :(

Every legit rank 50 player is missing 6 Mystery Dog Tag unlocks. What im saying is you wont lose out on unlock tokens due to rollbacks.

The only permanent issue it can cause is as you say, sometimes challenge sets fail to unlock properly. When I ranked up to rank 50 the second half of my "Skill Kills" challenges never unlocked.

Well, I don't know about that because to begin with, when I first started the mp I was given 4 dogtags from the start (I have the limited edition) but I didn't unlock them right away. The next time I wanted to play and unlock them as well they were gone meaning only 2 should be missing but the fact is that there were times when I got dogtag unlocks than I had a crash or sth like that happened and even after I managed to get to the next level again I didn't get the unlock as before. :/

One more thing: because some of the stats did not register well I won't be able to get certain medals either -> for example there are 2 medals for getting everything under stealth and on power modules (in the skill assessments) but even though I'm level 12 in all moduls the game register only 10 for armor and 8 for stealth for me meaning unless there will be a patch that makes the game recount everything correctly I'm gonna be missing out on some stuff which is very annoying.

So, yestarday I finally reached rank 50 and when I got to rank 49 before, 6 of my missing mystery dogtags got an unlock token and I could unlock them and the last one (when I got to lev 50) as well so I got all of them now meaing nobody should be missing any of them when the rank gap is reached. :)
