We know what caused this situation. The new Artifact storage capacity limits weren't supposed to be available for another day or so (once we enforce the latest update) due to some new settings to optimize Artifacts we added to the server. We've fixed that, so you shouldn't be able to craft these corrupted Artifacts anymore. That being said, these in your screenshot are already there - so I'm actively working on cleaning up your Museum storage to get rid of those. I'll ping this thread again once I have your account cleaned up, and CS can help you from there to restore the Artifacts you've lost
Thank you Austin, unfortunately I’ve also gained 40,000 fragments which indicates the glitch force sold at least 2 fully upgraded, fully unlocked regular artifacts as well as making the numerous legendaries disappear. This doesn’t include any others that weren’t upgraded and I have no way to determine which any of the non-legendary artifacts were…
I haven't seen this one, do you get disconnected when you try? Any chance you could DM me a screen capture?
No, I don't get disconnected and there's nothing I can screen capture because there's nothing I can show you because I can't add blueprints to my artifacts. I can upgrade my artifacts from one star to two stars for example. However, I can't add blueprints to anything. Not sure how I could show you that in the screenshot. I also tried to add blueprints to artifacts on my second account and I have the same issue.
This is a simple example, but really can't show you more than this. I can't add any blueprints to it or any others.
I'm going to reinstall the game to see if it fixes the issue. Fingers crossed.

(decided to join the forums after Austin told me how nice folks were in this thread, actually!)
Good day. Do you know that after the update there are two massive problems? First: when changing the name of the Alliance, the game does not allow punctuation marks (periods, commas, hyphens). Second: in the artifacts of the Hall of World War, you cannot change the lines for crowns, it constantly throws you out of the game.Not Austin, but another one of the lead engineers here
You're totally safe to purchase storage upgrades and craft artifacts beyond 255 at this point. Like Austin mentioned earlier in this thread, the 255 issue was caused by an oversight in our rollout of this feature, where the increased capacity changes went live prior to us flipping a switch that basically told our game to start using new code that allowed us to store artifacts > 255. That switch has since been flipped, so the artifacts beyond 255 can be stored/retrieved properly.
This was an intentional change intended to prevent bugs (we've had issues in the past with special characters causing problems). I understand that this may be disappointing, but the alternative is broken World War functionality.
Austin noticed this last night and it's on our radar. It appears that you can reroll a benefit on an artifact that's never had any rerolls done on it, but if you try to reroll a benefit on that artifact again it results in a disconnect. We have a fix in the works.

More engineers!!! These are the folks we need here to help with technical questions since many of us like to deep dive into the inner workings of the game. Welcome
