Haven't played in a few months but now all planets re-locked

[VictoryAkaraZ]

I was told that all the planets with padlocks on them were locked, yet I know for a fact I had all of these unlocked is this a bug or did some patch or another actually re-set all the planets?

The new Junction system with Specters of the Rail has locked all planets, yes. You must fulfill the junction requirements and pass them to advance. It dings veteran players a little, but it's much better direction for new players, other than it being a lot to take in at once. Any quests you've done have been preserved, however, so you don't have to redo any quests for the junctions.

Forum profile says you joined in December 2015. Just figuring how many map reworks you've been away for.

Go to ESC > Equipment > Inventory > Miscellaneous

From there you can look for "Planet Name" Nav Segments, which are still in our inventories. See if the planets you have unlocked match up with the Nav Segments you have (which means you unlocked those planets prior).

It is a possibility that if you did not have some planets unlocked correctly (were just carried to a planet boss by another player without completing the Boss node or missions nodes), and the new system didn't you see you as having any missions completed on those planets and so locked them.

Completing and getting credit for a mission under the old system (and for the past two years) required that you personally needed to have access to the mission you were playing on, to get credit for unlocking it. Being "taken" to a mission you didn't have access to means you don't get credit and the mission remains locked. This was also the criteria for getting Mastery for complementing missions.
