Hello Tenno!
Today I have information for you related to the Protovyre Evolving Armor set! There are two sections to go over: The story so far, and upcoming changes.
The Protovyre armor set was released along with Caliban for The New War (Update 31) and consists of three separate parts: a chest piece, arms, and legs. We offered these in bundles that offered all three parts together, or as separate purchases for players that only wanted one specific piece of the armor. As you kill Sentient type enemies while wearing the armor, you earn progress toward earning the Protovyre’s evolved Emergent and Apex forms. The new parts that you earn would be delivered to your Inbox.
It turns out that there was a problem with this new system however. Players who had only purchased one of the Protovyre parts were getting the entire evolved set when they completed its ranking up challenge.
So with our next update we will be correcting in the following ways:
- Players who have evolved Protovyre parts in their account but did not purchase the base version of the part, will have the evolved versions removed
- Challenge progress related to unlocking the evolving armor will not be affected.
- Buying an armor part that you’ve already completed the Challenge for will give you the evolved parts you’ve earned immediately.
In simple terms, no one's progress is being taken away, just the items that were accidentally distributed. Should you choose to reinvest in a piece of Protovyre armor, you’ll keep all the progress you made!
