Official Feedback Thread for Craft Bags

ZOS_GinaBruno

This is the official feedback thread for Craft Bags. Specific feedback that the team is looking for includes the following:

• Were you able to find the Craft Bag?
• Did you understand when items you picked up went into the Craft Bag?
• Did you understand what items go into the Craft Bag, and which ones do not?
• Did you understand how to pull items out of the Craft Bag to trade or mail them?
• Do you understand how crafting is integrated into the Craft Bag?
• Did you notice any other players using their Craft Bags? (Specifically, did you notice the new Craft Bag model?)
• Were there any items that you feel should have been included in the Craft Bag?
• How much backpack and bank space did you free up when your items moved into your Craft Bag?
• Do you have any other general feedback?

It was very simple to find my crafting bag.

Yup - definitely could tell when I looted items which ones were sent to my crafting bag.

Yes I understand what items go into the crafting bag. Although it's a bit confusing trying to find my bait since they are used for crafting, even though they never went in the materials tab.

Yes I understood how to retrieve items from the bag (and how to put them back)

If by integrated you just mean it works. Yup! I love how all crafting materials are now available to all characters when crafting. Amazing.

I didn't notice, but I just got online.

I have not noticed any items that should have been included that are not.

I'm estimating over 500. 3 mules for crafting plus excess that didn't fit.

They are just as amazing as I thought they would be. Seriously. I almost cried as I logged in one by one and saw all my crafting materials go into that bag, and know it will now give me the ability to play the game more on whatever character I want without having to move that characters inventory to someone else.

Since crafting bags were my #1 hoped for item:
- Found them immediately
- Understood what items went in, how to retrieve them, and how crafting works with them
- Did NOT notice the new Craft Bag model because I wasn't around any other players when I looked.
- Quite happy with what items are included - was tickled pink to see that Fishing supplies were also included (Bonus!)
- My character inventory didn't drop on most of my characters except for my bank alt (which had excess stacks of materials), but my bank went from 240 slots used to 0 slots used.
- Only feedback item I can think of -- Grouping Fishing bait under Provisioning makes a little bit of sense because some of the recent recipes use guts and worms and the like, but I'd have preferred to have it under it's own sub tab.

Awesome, awesome addition! Woot!

At first I thought bait should have it's own tab as well @stevenbennett_ESO but I just checked it out. When all your bait is in your crafting bag, you can still go fishing. Meaning unless you are trying to trade/sell your bait, there's no reason to need to find it. Bait now works like crafting mats... available all the time

You may want to put a little blurb in the live patch notes that you need to log into all of your characters for all the mats to go in the bag initially. I had a bit of a heart attack when I thought all my high level wood was missing - but apparently I had placed it on the wrong mule back on live. (Maybe you did put a blurb there and I missed it. If so disregard this)

OMG, just logged on to the PTS and my bank is now 14/240 instead of nearly full - happy days!!!

I am a bit disconcerted about bait being in with ingredients, even though it still seems to work OK for fishing, a separate bait tab would be better for quickly checking what I have available before I head out on a fishing trip.

"Were you able to find the Craft Bag?"
Yep. It was right where I expected to find it.

"Did you understand when items you picked up went into the Craft Bag?"
Yes.

"Did you understand what items go into the Craft Bag, and which ones do not?"
Didn't realize that fishing bait went in there until someone mentioned it. Glad it does, because I tend to carry a lot of it. I do feel that it should have its own filter category though. While I understand that it's also used in a few provisioning recipes, that's not its primary use, and I'd want to be able to check my bait amounts quickly, without having to dig for them.

"Did you understand how to pull items out of the Craft Bag to trade or mail them?"
I saw the "Retrieve" and "Store" (or whatever they were called) options in the right-click menu. If there's an easier way to move items between the bag and normal inventory, then I missed it.

"Do you understand how crafting is integrated into the Craft Bag?"
Yes.

"Did you notice any other players using their Craft Bags? (Specifically, did you notice the new Craft Bag model?)"
I did not. There's a model?

"Were there any items that you feel should have been included in the Craft Bag?"
I may disagree with the filter categories some items are placed under within the bag, but couldn't find anything that I thought should be in bag that wasn't.

"How much backpack and bank space did you free up when your items moved into your Craft Bag?"
I have no idea. Across all my mules? Tons. Like, hundreds of slots.

"Do you have any other general feedback?"
Glad you asked.

As mentioned, I really feel that fishing bait should have its own filter category. Also, I noticed that RAW style materials (Malachite shards, Dwemer scrap, Casserite sand, etc.) were filtered into blacksmithing, woodworking, and clothing. Shouldn't they go under "style materials"?

Also, while I'm sure that most players would like the automatic transfer of all materials into the bag upon first log in, I actually found it annoying, since I had some specific materials stored in separate places for a reason. If it automatically moves all my mats into the bag when the update goes live, it's going to make a mess of my system. Instead of being automatic, a "transfer all materials to bag" button or option, would be much preferred.

I logged in and went to guild bank remove all the mats from it. Then switch toon and all my mats are gone from crafting bag. It looks like the issues is with a Guild Bank.

Epona222

OK, here's a BIG issue for me.

When I am at the bank listing stuff for sale in a guild store, I NEED to be able to access my crafting bag, so I can select a particular number of a crafting mat to list for sale.

I do NOT want to have to retrieve each item I want to sell individually before opening the guild store interface.

This is a very big and time-consuming issue for a lot of players like me who sell excess mats. Just because I now have space to keep 3000 Tempering Alloy does not mean I do not ever want to sell any, and doing so needs to be easier. Allow us to select craft bag and split stack (or select a quantity to sell) in the guild store sell interface.

EDIT: Just checked, and send mail interface is similarly affected - need to be able to access craft bags in the send mail interface also. (Add Guild Bank to that list).

NewBlacksmurf

All seems fine and really excited to grab stuff from my guild bank that was used as a bank overflow
No issues thus far and it seemed to stack well.

Question: food items ? No limit?


General feedback.
Is there any consideration for a limited crafting bag for any other way outside of ESO plus?
(Limited in number of slots or by crafting type)

Bug report here: http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/262024/bug-materials-not-available-missing-from-crafting-bag?new=1

Not all my materials are available on all of my characters. It shows I have sanded nightwood etc. in my crafting bag on a mule, but it does NOT show up in my crafting bag when on my crafter - or when that crafter is at a crafting station.

acw37162

Are crafting only available is you have an eso plus pic account on test.

I bought a pc copy for access to test but my eso plus account is on ps4, will I not be able access this on test?

lolo_01b16_ESO

I'm very disappointed by the crafting bag as it is not shared between my characters, so I still have to keep all the things I frequently use in my personal bank.

@lolo_01b16_ESO Your bag is broken like mine. It IS account wide, but some folks (like me) are experiencing a bug where you can't access some stuff on certain characters.

@acw37162 Definitely try. On PTS even ESO+ members from live need to "purchase" (fake buy) the DLC. So I don't think it matters.

Chillic

Pretty big bug... my crafting bag is gone all of the sudden. I had been using it and now it is gone along with all my crafting mats. Happening on all characters.

Edit: I was able to duplicate the issue. It happens after creating another charter(template).

TerraDewBerry

I'm loving the crafting bag a lot.. with the exception that it did not appear to show any enchanting runes at all.. even after I gathered many during the evening. I played on the ptr with a copy of my main character who has many many enchanting runes.. and nothing in the dang bag...

Astanphaeus

Yay!

I was able to find the awesome Craft Bag, the loot text was very clear about what was going into the craft bag. It seemed that everything related to crafting things that you would use at a crafting station went into the Craft Bag. Yes, I was able to remove items to trade to other players or eat (new alchemy ingred.) although the mats returning to the crafting bag when i zoned was a bit of a surprise but now that I know that I won't pull items out to trade prior to meeting the other player.

The new bag model is very neat (and also used for when a player accesses the crown store it seems).

Freed up 200 bank spaces and about 50 bag spaces on my mule as well as making gathering everything (from opening and looting all containers to nodes etc) much easier in terms of inventory management since all those mats go automatically into the Craft Bag.

I think this is an awesome bonus for subscribers. It provides a great deal of convenience so those of us who are crafting mat pack-rats don't have to use mules to hold stuff. (but non-subs can still use that method) Honestly, the current subscription bonuses are not very big (esp for the max. level players with all traits researched). I love it.

Suggestion: Maybe separate the weapon and armor trait gems into their own tabs. Also, the Cassiterite Sand, dwemer scrap, glass shards show up in all 3 crafting menus, maybe marking those so they go into the style materials tab? But it is really great as it is!

edit: after reading some other posts here I agree that it would be nice to access the craft bag withing the guild store and mail interfaces (and possibly the trade interface as well), although I do understand with the mechanic the way it is you will select item in the craft bag, transfer to your inventory and then attach to mail, post to guild store etc

When I logged in on the PTS, I got notified that all my crafting materials have been moved from my bank and inventory to my crafting bag, and sure enough, I had 0 crafting materials in my inventory and in my bank.

But I had 0 crafting materials in my crafting bag, too.

Any crafting materials I collect in the world vanish without a trace. The only way I am able to retain crafting materials is by deconstruction.

OldManJim

Do you need to withdraw items from the bag to use them in writs?

Preyfar

I went from 240/240 bank to 8/240. I HAVE A BANK NOW. Oh man, I can not love this crafting bag enough.

Also: HURRAY that bait gets stacked in the bag. That along freed up soooo much space on a lot of my characters.

Sordidfairytale

Another victim of the crafting bug. I did as someone in zone suggested and load up from the Plentiful crafting crate. I now have mats to experiment with. HOWEVER. There are no runes in the crates, there are glyphs that can be deconned, true. But there are no runes, so I'm stuck with vet 16 runes. Perhaps they can make a crownstore item plentiful runes?

I hope this is just a temporary PTS thing, because if this happens on live I will be sorely upset.

I did not create a new character before moving my items into the craft bag and noticing that they were gone.

Same thing with Provisioning materials. Need to have a plentiful provisioner crate along with the plentiful enchanter.

Mr.Hmm

Oh hey... look there... I have lots of space in my bank now, well damn.. great job ZoS.

And fishing bait is being stacked now?... well..... you have outdone yourselves with this PTS patch. Now to just fix the bugs that exist and tweak the numbers a little and it might be the best patch you have ever done ZoS.

Valorin

Finally! Yes! Awesome!

To answer my own question: no. Writs grab items directly from the crafting bag. Yay!

Yolokin_Swagonborn

All of my style materials and weapon/armor trait stones are gone! Hundreds of daedra hearts disappeared. It's hard to tell what was mine as what was from the PTS as i opened a bunch of PTS crafting bags but i didn't open any style traits




Order of operations:

Logged on to a v16 DK (transfered from live) character
Then I made a 160CP template DK
Then I logged on to my v16 sorc crafter. Realized I had no armor/weapon traits or style traits. My bank went from 100/110 to 14/110 but no traits to be seen.

Ive logged on to the two transfers and the template. No stones.

jmgrant44ub17_ESO

A lot of my mats are missing from the crafting bag. All mats and trait material from my bank are gone. All woodworking, blacksmithing, and clothing mats are gone from my player that had them.

Confirmed, unsure if only from PTS template or all new characters but needs to be fixed!

Yeah, I am going to play around with it as much as I can to see how many bugs I can find. Hopefully its related to the template but I will be testing it all tonight.

Me too. I had the bag filled from template boxes. Played few hours and everything was there. Then i created one toon, deleted one, created third, returned back to first toon and craftbag is completely empty. All toons are templates.

edit: Tested:
- Take in first toon crafting mats from crates. Verified there are stuff in craftbag.
- Logged in to another toon, looked into craftbags, things were there
- Created a new toon.
- Logged in to first toon , looked, craftbags are empty.

Is it possible that because the bags are shared that when you delete a character it somehow deletes all the information about that shared inventory too?

Or when you create a new character it somehow overwrites the info for the crafting bag?

This one is just throwing a theory out there.
