Could we please get a "show unknown" filter in the default guild vendor interface?

FlopsyPrince · April 25

Searching for unknown motifs and recipes would be much easier if we could simply filter out known ones!

This is especially valuable during an event like the just completed anniversary one where motif prices dropped due to the supply!

I did very little searching for recipes, especially since those require scrolling each and every item to the bottom (though I vaguely recall an indicator not color tagged at the top now that I think about it).

While I wish AwesomeGuildStore was in the base game, at least adding this filter would be extremely useful!

When shopping for motifs, furnishing plans, recipes etc, it would be a god send.

vesperghost · April 25

seconded, I would get a ton of use out of something like this.

VisitHammerfell · April 25

Yes! This is #2 on my wishlist besides a furnishing bag (#3 is a plan/recipe library). I would spend SO much gold at traders if I could do this, and would maybe actually list plans instead of hoarding them.

Agreed 100%. I get the functionality from an Addon, it helps a ton to have it. And since it possible for an addon to do this, it shouldn't be that difficult for ZOS to implement it into main game. It's a QoL feature that console players and PC players without addons should have access to.

It would just be one more field in the interface a "known/unknown" link. Not sure why you would ever use the "known" one, but put it there for completeness. Or simply add a checkbox for "unknown", though that would be different than the other refinement choices.

Hear, hear! I would love to not need an addon for this!

irswat · April 25

Awesome guild store has this

But consoles don’t have access to that. And really, this is a big enough QOL improvement it should be built in, without having to track down an addon. There are over a hundred Motifs now, most of which have fourteen separate pages, and never mind furnishing and cooking recipes on top of that. And that’s per character.

I agree the option to filter known/unknown should be there, it is a basic need and has been requested numerous times.

I do want to still be able to search known recipes/plans/motifs for pricing purposes.

That is why it should have 3 settings:
- All
- Known
- Unknown

I was answering your question as to why someone would want to filter known items.

LunaFlora · May 4

yes please!!
it's so tedious scrolling through pages of recipes or motifs i already have.

searching for each one i don't have individually is even worse

Rishikesa108 · May 4

In the meantime... do use addons! They are extremely useful for this function

I was not disagreeing, just clarifying and adding to it.

They are not on console.

notyuu · May 4

Honest question
why dosn't zos just implement AwesomeGuildStore into the basegame?

DragonRacer · May 4

I will always co-sign this request.

Also, please, for the love of the Divines, stop telling console players to "just get the add-on". Please, stop. We do exist and add-ons are PC only, so... please stop assuming everyone here is on PC.

spartaxoxo · May 5

Yes, please! Consoles can't use add-ons. That's 2/3rds of the platforms. Come on already!

SaffronCitrusflower · May 5

This would be a huge QoL improvement.

TheImperfect · May 5

I have wanted this forever.

What impact on server performance will adding filters like this have, if ZoS decide to add this to every platform on their server side? Will this be a filter built into client (your local client need to do this work and performance will be depending on your computer or consoles hardware) or will this be done on server, before it send the final output to your console or PC?

It is too easy to ask for something and not take into account that it could be very good reason why ZoS have been reluctant to have too many UI features built into game.

They already do other filtering.

I’m not a database expert, and of course it could depend on the search, but I would guess that filtering server side and returning fewer results to the client would be both faster and less stressful for the servers.
