Some armour and weapon pieces (including repeater barrels) were unexpectedly downgraded with Patch OB 0.7.1. We are almost done with our preparations to compensate affected players with Arcstone, Orbs, Rams, and Behemoth break parts to affected Slayers so that they can get back to where they were before the patch.

is what would have made me happy and forget this mess but it's not the reality we live in.
the actual patch notes only says

/u/phx-shae can we at least get a good explanation as to why behemoth parts were difficult to return to us? i had a lot of reserve epic break parts from each behemoth but after the transition i only have less than 10. which behemoth parts before the change did you guys use to to convert to the epic parts now? i want to understand this situation at the very least.
Sure I am happy to chime in! :}
We are currently writing a script that will return the following items to players affected in 0.7.1: Arcstone, Orbs, and Rams. Behemoth beak parts are not included for a couple reasons. The main reason comes down to the complications of the script and our choice to avoid any other account issues.
The more we add to the script, the more possibility another bug could accidentally happen. To avoid this we would need to do extensive testing on every granted part. Along with more testing and more scripting, it would take much more time (possibly weeks) to get the resources back to you guys. Finally, with console, the next hunt pass, and more quickly approaching it is important we use our studio resources wisely.
TLDR: It is the safest and quickest solution to get Slayers back to +10 <3
