Official Discussion Thread for "Update 6 Guide: Collections"

Skalfee · January 2015

To be honest I'd like a way to group a armor set together.. Even if it isn't part of a 'set'. I carry around three sets of armor, and I don't mind the space it takes up, I just want a quicker way to equip it... Is that possible? Not entirely for collections, but I think it's kinda on the same page... I think that would be a nice thing to add in general...

Kliedesys · January 2015

Only started the game less then a month ago and im stuffed with collectables (mostly trophies) so i can only imagine how many true veterans have, so why not add a trophy tab somewhere in there

GaldorP · January 2015

I think it would be great if new pets and mounts could be "earned" in the game by completing certain tasks or achievements or by buying them with ingame gold. The phrase "for those of you who love hunting down vanity pets, costumes, and other collectibles" sounds a bit silly to me if the only way of "hunting down" new pets and mount skins is to buy them with real money.

Jaivenb14_ESO · January 2015

Everything you guys are doing in update 6 feel so right. Please, keep up the good work!

SlayerSyrena · January 2015

Please, please add disguises and trophies to the Collectibles menu.

Threemoons · January 2015

What we really need is a separate inventory just for mats. Period. Full stop. If they feel especially angelic, this will be shared between all toons so that we don't have to constantly run back to the banks to swap.

At the moment, i have one horse fully maxxed for carrying and one horse fully maxxed for speed. In the new system ill be able to ride any horse and have both speed and carrying maxxed at the same time?

I also have two horses with different skills. What will happen to them?

I too had one horse for carrying and one horse for speed. Now on the PTS my character has both of those skills and the horse is merely decoration. I am going to start a third horse and get it trained for stamina so when 1.6 goes live I will have a head start on that part of the riding skill. Plus you can train all three riding skills not just one which I find excellent. It is still one skill per day and so with all three skills it is going to take a lot longer to train up riding skills. Unless I am mistaken of course.

That's good news. now for the next part - is the riding skills separate on each character or shared across the account? ie. if I had 1 character with a max speed horse and another with a max stamina horse, will both character have max speed and stamina OR will they each see the same horse but only one has the stamina and the other has only the speed?

SIN-X · January 2015

and of course only those obtained in game not via crown shop go towards collectible achievements rights zos?

Benefactor · January 2015

I would love to see disguises based upon if you completed the quest in the collections tab along with trophies that you receive from quests.

daw2502b16_ESO · January 2015

I suppose all the stuff we destroyed due to lack of inventory space is lost.

Each character has riding skills just like each character (even if they are all the same class) may have different fighting or healing skills.

You will buy one horse and all characters can use it. Each character has their own set of skills for riding.

If you have 3 alts that have been bank mules for you and all you want is more space for them to carry stuff you may want to just train up the carrying skill but if you have three alts that are all doing different things like one is a healer for pledges, one is a tank for Cyrodil and another is a general dps for dungeons then you might want to train up not only carrying but also speed and or stamina depending on where you will be going and what you will be doing.

what about MAPS? I have the collectors edition maps alone still scattered on alts just to not take up bank space. It seems like a little file cabinet would be suitable.......

For heaven's sake why havent you used those maps and gotten the treasures? There is no point in just collecting the maps unless you just happen to like the sketchy pictures. The maps give you a place to go to get a treasure chest!!

skrejaub17_ESO · February 2015

What happened to the Imperial horse? I got on the pts and it's gone!!

Sue_D_Nim · February 2015

I was getting carpal tunnel from clicking on all the 'agrees' so I'll just add mine here.

It should be pretty clear what else we want. Trophies including trophy fish, disguises, and treasure maps. Please and thank you, and thank you for giving us the collectibles system in the first place.

MrGhosty · February 2015

They said that disguises are problematic due to the fact you can lose them if you start fighting in the area the disguise is tied to. What I would like to see to make it possible to add them is you pick disguise X up and complete the quest. Should you make it through the quest with your disguise intact, you should then be able to go to the fence or another merchant to "launder" it like stolen goods which turns it into a costume instead of a disguise. It seems like they could at least do that.

Disappointed the trophies aren't in this collection, maybe it's how some interact with the player? This should be fixed asap.

If you don't mind using AddOns, "Wykkyd's Outfitter" lets you do that.

Stealing from GW2

BlackEar · February 2015

We know they have already stated the UI is new and just the beginning, but I fear that the expansion of the inventory system is months away, so I hope we can push it forward, because the problem is imminent.

Rosveen · February 2015

Trophies and disguises, please.

Oh, and it would be nice if the guide about Collection inventory showed a screenshot of said inventory. I know promoting chef costume is of the utmost importance right now, but y'know, it's still a guide.

SWTOR has the same for vanity pets and mounts. It is not stealing. It is getting an idea how to do it right. Better the use a good existing idea then to come up with a crappy one.

Qyenn · February 2015

I would very much like to see 2 type of costume slots. one for regular costumes as it is now, and one for a guild tabard. That way you can wear the tabard on a skeleton or vet costume, or quest type of disguise.

Drawberry · February 2015

With the addition of armor dyes, it's a little frustrating to dig through all of the different achievement tabs to check and see if you received a new one.

I was wondering if there any plans to add or reorganize the achievement window? Such as adding a 'Dyes' tab to the achievements window?
It would really help keep track of them

!

Maybe include an on-screen announcement when you unlock one?
For example;

If you get the Aldmeri Master Explorer notice on-screen it could be followed up by something very simple like:
*color swatch icon* Ayleid Gold dye unlocked

Rev Rielle · February 2015

It's a good start, I like it.

And I will echo what many others have said; adding trophy and disguise capacity in future will make the system even more robust and useful.

As a somewhat of an aside:
In the future I would dearly love to see some sort of 'wardrobe' function added, as well as cosmetic slots, so we can store arms and armour templates we've found in the world for future appearance use to be dyed. I guess, now I think of it, in a way what i'm describing is a lot like the Guild Wars 2 PvP wardrobe system.

CMz · February 2015

Unfortunate that the only items which store in the collections tab are the items you sell us - not the items we collect from completing in-game quests like trophies and disguises. It likely made sense on the Crown Store whiteboard but looks far too self-serving and does nothing to address the ongoing requests for a separate collection system for the things we actually collect.

reften · February 2015

What happens for those like me with very valuable bank space...that deleted their pets and trophys? Do I get them all back now?

How about going to a dye station... You can see every dye you've earned from achievements. Just sayin.

Totally concur CMz!

people need to calm down. It is said that this is only the first step in the collection feature. They will be adding more to it later on. Keep up the good work eso!
