After this latest >20GB update, armorer, blacksmith and carpenter benches are still broken if you have a T3 or T4 thrall in them. It will only show the exceptional/flawless recipes, and requires you remove and replace the thrall every time you want to craft something.
This has been an outstanding bug for over a month now, and how this hasn’t been fixed is beyond comprehension. Really, people?
Steps on how to reproduce issue:
Place a T4 armorer/blacksmith/carpenter in station
Close crafting UI
Open crafting UI again, no standard recipes are shown
Remove thrall and then add back, recipes appear until UI is closed again
That sinking feeling when there’s no mention of it in the patch notes, then login to your server and realize this probably isn’t going to be fixed until March or April, based on Funcom’s track record with pushing out updates to the consoles. Good times.
I had that same sinking feeling when I realized it wasn’t fixed. I have a feeling it’s going to be like the building bug we had last year which took them months to fix.
