Top Bug - In Progress Can't save weapon mastery styles

I have this exact same problem, My Weapon Mastery Styles aren't saving at ALL on US Nintendo Switch Server.

Is your weapon Dual-wielding and your style always defaults to the clamps and the normal bow after re-login?

P.S: It has become a fixed ritual for me for two years now that after logging in or changing my character I have to set my style again. The bug is not game breaking, but it is extremely annoying. At least for the players who value style...

Since this bug has been out for 4 years (or at least that's how long it has been since it was originally reported) and hasn't been fixed yet (there was a hotfix that said it was suposed to have been fixed but it didn't do the trick), thought i'd go ahead and bring it up again now that the devs are changing this section.
The issue was reported here: https://dgcissuetracker.com/browse/DC-14 on 2015.
From the many similar issues reported there I gathered the combos that it seems to affect:
bow into dual pistols
hand blasters into brawling
dual wield into brawling
dual pistols into martial arts
bow into martial arts
Could also affect other weapons that combo into those but didn't find any mention of that in there.
Those mastery styles don't stick to the one you pick and imprint to your armories and instead go back to some odd style when you log back in, when you change it back to what you want they do stick to the style you had picked, until the moment you log out and then back in.

I thought they took care of this one. Hey devs, can you kill this bug once and for all?

How is this "running gag" progressing? The issue has been persisting for almost 8 years. What does "in progress" mean on your end? Has a developer been addressing the problem for the past 8 years? It seems like they could have memorized the source code of DCUO in all these years. I wish there was more transparency in this matter, and at least be honest with us. Please don't keep us waiting; just tell us what the situation is. This is what I personally expect from a community manager.

Since we now have a different development team and I haven't lost hope, I wanted to bring this bug back to attention.
I want to emphasize again that this bug is extremely annoying, and it has become a ritual to constantly adjust Weapon Mastery styles and materials after logging in or switching characters. If this continues, we might as well celebrate a 10-year anniversary for this bug!
Please, please, dear development team, provide a statement on this and don't let this issue linger for years. There must be a way to fix such an bug!

*bump*

(Maybe a developer can give us an update or explain the issue, and why this bug is so difficult to fix. Thank you!)
 
I usually don’t post but…… Omigosh this bug is an eyesore lolz. I found out that only certain unlocked styles will trigger this bug. For example, Hand Blasters to brawling will only implement this bug if the Sideblades style is already unlocked for your Brawling weapon. If it’s not unlocked then your WM brawling style will remain bare hands. Hope this info helps to finally end this decade long bug! As a woman who values style on and off the game, this would be appreciated a lot if this can be fixed. Thank you sooo much!! TS :)

The engineers could not reproduce the issue, but we found some updated reproduction steps for them to test with and hopefully they will finally be able to put this bug to rest.
Here's what i've seen works so far, might be the same steps you found but still might help idk. (I just did it 4 times in a row and it worked every time).
The particular one i'm testing rn is dual wield into brawling, the weapon style doesn't save for mastery 2 (after testing it, it seems like it's not saving color options, materials and style selections everything goes back to the default) but mastery 1 does seem to save.
Here's everything i did:
1) I checked that the saved style for the brawling mastery was still bugged to the same one, "Power Clamps".
2) Went to the style menu to change the 2nd mastery style to a different one, picked "Bare Hands". Changed applied colors and materials (it was set to none) and then saved the settings and exit the menu.
3) Tested the combo to see if the changes had applied, they do apply after saving on the style menu.
4) Logged out of the character and back in.
5) Tested the same combo again, style is back to Power Clamps, material isn't applied and colors reverted back to how they were at step 1.

PS: Just did a couple quick tests with two different weapons i had laying around, bow and staff, specced into both of their masteries, did the same steps as above, both of them also return to step 1 style and settings after relogging. The bugged mastery seems to be the second one on all 3 of them. I don't have more weapons right now or i'd check on the other ones too. Hope some of that helps.
