Recently the announcement 'You've unlocked x' was popping up a bit too much for me. Even some stuff like a 13^50 for inscribable weapons. I'm absolutely positive I already unlocked this one on my account.
So I went to the Priest of Balthazar, and i noticed a lot of stuff I already unlocked through playing the game, or unlocked with faction, is indeed locked again! I'm absolutely sure I've unlocked everything for R and W weapons, but the Priest tells me I still need to unlock some mods. Same goes for a lot of inscriptions.
Is there some update I have missed, or are there more people with this same problem?

Slap the priest.
Besides doing that, it's just one of those rare glitches. : (

The Pointless
That's an odd one, because I had a load of inscriptions already unlocked for me (presumably because I had already identified those mods from Tyrian and Canthan weapons and offhands)

Perhaps you just thought you unlocked it? I dunno...strange indeed.
Arduin
The thing is, for a few days ago, many inscriptions were already unlocked for me too, just like The Pointless, because I've been playing for 18 months now. It's just that some inscriptions and mods are locked again, not all of them, but a fair deal nonetheless.... Well, thanks for your replies anyway, it isn't a too big deal really, because I'm not that interested in PvP. Just a bit odd, in my opinion.

I was also just recently affected by that glitch so it's not just one single isolated incident. I thought something was strange when I saw the message indicating that the 13^50 inscription was now unlocked. It seems the glitch just relocked certain inscriptions (not all) and wand wrappings that were previously unlocked. Nothing else seemed to be affected (I hope).

Was it maybe with a newly created character and u were just unlocking it agian on tht one? I mean from the priest of balthazar i have almost everything unlocked, but with my newly created paragon i have just unlocked 9% furious again and stuff like tht? Just an ingsight.. I'm probably totally wrong LOL.

Unlocks for items like skills are based on account, not character. These were items that were unlocked for some time (during the time from when Nightfall was released).

It's messed up. My guildmate has a screenshot of himself wielding a PvP item with a 15^50 on it. The priest of balthazar says it's locked. He also cannot make a new one, yet he's holding the one he had made the day before. He totaled up the faction that was "stolen" from him in the form of re-locking his UAX'ed account: ~50,000 faction.

I have the same problem. For some reason or another, most of my PvP item mods have locked themselves or reduced to a poorer quality. I can create 13^50 items, 20/11 sundering, enchantments last 14% longer and other nonsense.
I have a suspicion that this is the bug, possibly occuring since a recent update, and possibly only for some people:
When you unlock a mod in PvE, the corresponding item on your PvP item list gets updated to that. Meaning that if you had a 15^50 inscription on your item list (which I believe is there by default when you make your account) and then find a 13^50 with a PvE character and it's unlocked (being the first time you found that particular inscription) then the 15^50 PvP mod will get swapped with the 13^50. Same goes for all other mods with variable percentages under the same name.
Either that or mods have simply locked randomly. Regardless, it's a pretty severe bug that I hope ANet fixes as soon as possible.

Unfortunately it is not a rare glitch. It's happened to a number of people. Some have even had items relocked after unlocking them a second or third time.
Best you can do is report it via support and hope Anet figures out the problem before chapter four rolls around.

ok, so i remember seeing this thread awhile back about unlocks that were locked again and i laughed though HA, those suckers that's pretty funny!!! until i made a pvp assassin to play around with. now i've had nightfall since release date and i have unlocked the strength and honor inscription 15^50% heck, i even had one in storage although it wasn't a recent unlock still unlocked though. then i was playing some pve advancing various characters through elona and received several blue weapons one which had a strength and honor of 13^50% now the balthazar priest says the i've never unlocked the 15^50% just the most recent 13^50%, i hope anet sees this glitch and get's it patched soon
there's a screen shot of the 15^50% inscription and the priest of balthazar saying that i don't have it unlocked, i'm sure theres a few others that are doing the same where it's the most recent blue unlock that over rides the rare perfect unlock.

That's happened to me as well! Numerous inscriptions and such are locked for me while I clearly have unlocked them in PvE or actually PvP itself!
Astro Pubes
well, i submitted a report stub with a direct link to this forum page so maybe we'll get a response about it.

I've also been having this problem, not sure why.
I haven't been wasting any faction on unlocking them again, so its no problem there. I haven't even checked to see if they are for some reason unlocked or not, I just know that i've been getting the new unlocked item msg when id'ing soime inscriptions.

this picture proves nada. You could buy a 15 over 50 inscription without having it unlocked.

Right, the 15^50 is locked for the second time. I've unlocked it by playing PvE, it got locked by some glitch, I made this thread and unlocked it with some faction. Now, after all the changes of skills lately and the Testing Weekends, the 15^50 is locked AGAIN. Same goes for some other stuff like the 15^enchanted and 15^stance.
Guess i'll try and message support (again), this is getting crazy.

All of my weapons mod never relock but some of my skills did.
The otherday I unlock that RT hero for pvp, now i have my pvp only RT char for sometime so I already unlocked a bunch of RT skills. Then when I try to set up Razaar the way I want, and guess what? Half of the RT skills that I already have relock themself! elites, normal skills.
So yeah what's going on?

Maybe this is their version of a faction sink.
Hell if I know. I got hit by this bug too, it's rather annoying.

Is this just happening to inscriptions or other things like skills doing the same thing? Please don't make me re-unlock things!!!!!!!!!
Arduin
For me, it only happened to the inscriptions and some weapon mods. Insignia and skills are unaffected. However, Etta noticed some Rt skills relocked again, so I suppose it is possible your skills will become locked again after you've unlocked them.
On I side note, after I unlocked a Minor Rune of Dagger Mastery with 1000 Balt. Faction, I unlocked the Superior Dagger Mastery too, without additional costs...
Guess that Priest of Balthazar is having a bad case of hangover... Any UAX/UAS experiencing the same relocking?

This happened to me recently as well. Went to make some PvP items, only to discover that many of my commonly used inscriptions (for weapons, shields and foci) were locked again. In addition, the PvP items on my PvP characters which used these inscriptions had their bonuses reduced to that of the "new" unlocked levels. This was really annoying, as I had to spend somewhere between 10 and 15k re-unlocking a lot of inscriptions I'd already acquired months ago.

Just hoping the runes won't be locked again...
