Well, that is a real bummer!
Even if its been reported hundreds of times, maybe this report keeps the issue alive a little bit longer. I had no idea about this bug, but then again, I haven’t played Siptah for at least over a year. I only realized this was a known bug when I mentioned the problem in the global chat on my server and the other players seemed not too surprised - “oh, that old bug is still around?”
It is shameful to hear that this bug has been reported so many times and left lying around unaddressed for months. A big part of the gameplay loop is broken! My friend just bought Siptah and started playing for the first time this year. He joined me on the server and was very disappointed to hear this … Essentially he feels like he’s been sold a faulty product. A bug like this being kept in for so long really begins to reflect badly on the game and the company. They might not see it as a priority, if it isn’t making them money, but players are still spending money to buy it and they deserve the full experience.
At least we have players online who are nice enough to craft the armor for us, but it is really not the same as going out and getting this for yourself
