I was in the same boat as most of you replying to the original opening post. I purchased the Year 1 Bundle hoping to unlock the specializations and be instantly granted the 165 points per specialization and skip the Field Research. This is where we are interpreting the sentence "Instant unlock of all Year 1 Specializations" wrong.

The Year 1 Bundle gives you instant access to the Specialization, which it does, we can instantly start using the weapon. It also gives the ability to unlock the "Premium Rewards" as you are still required to complete the Field Research. Once you start going through the Field Research you are granted more points to spend within the skill tree.

TL/DR
You can use the weapon but are still required to complete Field Research to gain rewards and points.

Got any jobs going?

As you explain it, even with "instant unlock" you still need to do things in order to get spec points and such. So what if someone has no "instant unlock"? It is said that if you DON'T have it, you have to go through the game to gain it...and that is EXACTLY what we are doing and what you told us "it's meant to be"

So...what is the difference between the owners of year pass 1 and those that don't have it as both have to go and unlock content?

I can't access the start field research option on any of the 3 extra specalizations so i am stuck at just 3 points in each. Even more insulting is that each specialization tree is shown as completed to tier 5 anyway so there is no possible way to progress 2nd/3rd charaters if this is the case.
There is literally no way of progressing in game to unlock the missing points.

And support are still coming back with the same replies to tickets. "it's a known issue and to keep an eye on the forums for updates"
