Meteoric Star Ruby not working?

The Blonde

Catalogues Bugs
Multiple players have reported that it doesn't work over the past 6 months. However, in the meantime, multiple others have confirmed that for them it does work. Nobody has yet been able to figure out what causes it to be bugged for some players but not for others.

The ruby eye of force wasn't proccing for me a couple lives ago. It was an old augment though, looked like a legacy augment. Didn't think of it then. Next time i use that weapon, I'll unslot and reslot, that may get it to work. If that's the case for yours, it might be worth a try.

Yes, I have 4 of them on various weapons - I’ve swapped them out, put them back on the original or a new weapon.
off-hand, main hand. (Not tried them on a 2 hander).
Nothing.
currently not working- gone over to Mabar gems instead.

All of mine have been working as usual... multiple characters, multiple weapons.
Can you tell us what weapons they have been used and observed to be functional in? ML? TWF? THF? SWF?

Were they newly sourced? Or old ones?

I just did a chronoscope using a echo of blackrazor. Killed EVERYTHING solo and not one proc the ruby eye of the glacier didn't proc either.
The gems are old, like probably from the original launch of the augments, not sure if that matters.
I am level 9 as well .. not sure if level matters in it.

Have a Meteor slotted in two shortswords, TWF, hit the training dummies for a few minutes and no meteors :( :( :(

Meteor in a dagger, SWF, no procs.

Ruby Eye of Force in Shortsword, no procs.

These Star Rubies are all about 5-8 years old.

Eye of Force was found to have similar issues here. Also tested with Meteoric Star Ruby and same issue (did not proc).

Tried vs Turret on ship.
Tried vs enemies in quests.
Tried without cosmetic weapon on.
Tried single weapon only.
Tried without other effect procs (on Vorpal, on Critical, % chance effects, Deception effect, etc).
Tried with ML1 weapon.
Tried with ML2 named weapon.
Tried with Dino weapon.
Tried older Meteoric Star Ruby.
Tried recent Eye of Force.
Tried "refreshing" in the Shared Bank.
Tried "refreshing" in the Shared Ingredients Bank.

None of those enabled back the proc from either Ruby.

Have yet to try:
Slower weapon attacks (possible issue similar to WWA and attack speeds at certain % or above?)

I pulled out my ratcatcher that has one and was working a couple years ago back when I was doing a ton of inquistive lives (it's on the current augment system and hasn't changed since then). Burned through close to 1k ammo and it never triggered.

Raided yesterday with a paladin using (I think) an SoS - and a meteor proc’d constantly. He is a (very) long time player- maybe was using a very old gem. Having said that, all my non- functioning gems date from 2016/17

Mine is not working either, have it on a few different weapons, (great axes, rapier) they did work a few months ago. Not sure when it stopped working.
