## Basic Info: Platform: PlayStation 5 Issue Type: Gameplay Game Mode: Online Official Server Type: PvE Map: Isle of Siptah Server Name: 8004 * * * ## Bug Description: Delving bench is no longer working after the AoH update. I tried fresh crafted star metal Short Sword and Katana as well as several legendary and epic weapons and armor pieces all with the same disappointing result: the delving process would not start as before the update afteryou put in the weapon/armor plus any amount above 50 Eldarium in the bench. * * * ## Bug Reproduction: Put any fresh made star metal weapon (Short Sword, Katana) and 50 Eldarium in the delving bench and see that nothing moves ---

I‘m wondering if there is anything else I can contribute in order to get my bug report acknowledged and/or the bug fixed. I understand that you get overwhelmed by bug reports (which could have been avoided by proper beta testing or listening to all the feedback from the public beta), however, these kind of bugs severely influence the game flow and experience and should be looked at with appropriate engagement. ---

Does not work on PC/Steam either. Tried on our server, and singleplayer as well. ---

Oh man…thanks a lot for testing it out on PC and solo. Maybe it would support getting the issue recognized if you would open a similar bug report on the PC subforum 🙂 ---

[@Community](https://forums.funcom.com/groups/community) [@CustomerService](https://forums.funcom.com/groups/customerservice) I’m wondering if it’s really that much asked for to get an estimate for certain bugs being fixed, let alone any reaction. The unresponsiveness close to complete ignorance is an unmatched example of abysmal customer service and still people (including myself) hold on to this game, despite being disappointed regularly. That said, couldn’t you please at least try to make some effort to be more transparent on bug fixing activities and more open and frequent in your communication about the current state and short- to mid-term planning ---

Well, I don‘t think there will be any official reply or statement. That said, I‘m keeping my fingers crossed that this will also be adressed with the upcoming hotfix… ---

So, if the hotfix fixed anything at all, it was definitely not the delving bench, which probably was expectable but of which I also was naive enough to hope for. That said, probably time will tell what else the hotfix wouldn‘t fix or what’ a colorful bouquet of new bugs it’s about to surprise us with… ---

That’s a Siptah exclusive problem. You may have noticed they don’t really give a cluck about Siptah. The Black Corsair faction has been immune to the truncheon since the end of Age of War and no progress on that either. ---

How are people still playing this game is beyond me. Game is riddled with bugs. The delving bench bug has been in the game for years and will never be resolved because according to statistics Funcom is still making enough money without fixing anything so why should they care. ---

Not to mention the Grey Ones being unarmed Kung Fu masters for several chapters now (a trait shared with some skeletons across both maps). ---

At least that has been fixed with AoH, the grey ones are now fighting back with their own weapons again ---

Oh really? I haven’t checked that but skeletons still love to punch and kick on both maps, bosses included. ---

Most of the time, yes they are back to using weapons. Sometimes they forget, but that is definitely the minority of times now. ---

Except this is not a solution, since this is not how it should work. Delving bench has worked for years with eldarium, not decaying eldarium. ---

this is SUPER frustrating for those of us just starting on Siptah, to not be able to use delving bench to research recipes. Almost as annoying as not being able to learn the purple lotus from journeys because “place a crafting thrall” is now borked in that journey.
