Original Post — Direct link

I already submitted a bug report with screenshots to demonstrate, but just to make everyone aware:

Previously you could scroll through the locked customization options in the Armor Hall to see what items were "Available for Purchase" and what items were "Available in the Exchange"

Just a reminder that the Exchange itself that you access through the store menu only holds a small selection of items, items never truly "leave" the exchange and they can be unlocked through the customization menus once they've rotated out of the storefront.

Now every item displays "Available for Purchase" even when it is an Exchange item, clicking the item will have a prompt to see the item in the Store (which is also incorrect), and finally clicking on the Store button you will be able to see that the item in question is in the Spartan Points currency, which indicates it's actually an exchange item.

Hopefully this isn't too hard of a fix, it looks like all the items in the storefront of the exchange are working normally when you purchase through it, this is something that only affects items that have rotated out, as it is not much harder to find them in the customization menu (unless you have memorized all past exchange items and know what you are looking for!)

Hey Uny, currently seeing this on all Exchange items, here is an example I with screenshots using the "Kabuto" helmet (slightly cropped to remove my gamertag).

Previously when you scroll over an exchange item that you don't have unlocked, it would say something like "Available in the exchange", as you'll see in the series of screenshots it only shows "Available for Purchase", a link to the store, and you can only verify that item is actually an exchange item by noticing the currency is different (Spartan points vs store credits)

Basically the end goal is I am trying to keep track of what I can spend my Spartan Points on and now I don't have any visiblity unless I am clicking through twice on each individual item instead of being able to immediately tell what can be purchased with Spartan Points vs real money.

Hope that helps, let me know if you need more clarification (or if I am misunderstanding something, always a possibility!)

Gotcha, thanks for this!

I think the confusion, which is totally understandable, is due to the fact that we display the "Available in the Exchange" only when items are actually currently featured in the Exchange. That means content that has rotated out, but is still available via SP has its text updated to the generic purchase language.

I'll take a note of this because it's a good point. Thank you for the follow up!
