Motifs wasted on mules

jaye63

I did this once. Why? Because I was in a hurry and *click r click r click... * SONOFA!!! *rage quit for an hour* then *click, wait, click, wait...*

Not the games fault you didnt pay attention. HOWEVER!!! I would like to be able to lock things I dont want to sell no matter what they are.

There's already an option for that. Not sure if it prevents item use though. I use multiple armor/weapon configs on my character depending on what I'm doing (http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info1128-DressingRoom.html). I use it so I don't vendor or deconstruct armor/weapons that I have set up.

I did the same thing with a furniture schem. While the design of how things go into inventory is wonky and is the cause, I also know all about the wonky design, so I'm afraid I own responsibility for this-as you do for yours.

Better yet instead of a locked function just a warning popup window saying "Are you sure you want to use this Motif" instead

ParaNostram

It happened to me once but whatever it happens. Sorry for the loss of that good item though

Ok, so again: YOU used a motif on the wrong guy THREE TIMES SINCE THIS EVENT STARTED... And I'm the one that 'Doesn't get it and makes myself look stupid'. Ok.

Ok.

Happened to me too, it's so damn easy to accidentally click on it because the default UI puts new items on top of the list instead of ordering them alphabetically.

Yeah, sure, I can understand that. But THREE times? You'd think he would have learned afer the first.

I really wouldn't enjoy more pop-ups and messages/warnings, the game already has plenty of those.. IF they decide to add another, I'll be on the hunt for an add-on to turn them off again. In the mean time OP, I use the Advanced Filters add-on and it lets you filter on subsets of your inventory categories. So whenever I open these boxes, I'm in the 'container' part of my Consumables, and thus the only things I'll be able to Use from my inventory are boxes. Really handy if you want to make sure you don't accidentally use anything else.

Cpt_Teemo

Well, all else I could think of if they can add motifs to the crafting bag imo, but that will only be for ESO+.

Glamdring

i open the 2nd box all the time until its 1 left. that way i cant accidently use a motif or recipie

If you fail to pay attention, its your own darn fault.
As long as you take your time and do it leisurely, it would not be a problem, right? Then you would not inadvertedly learn the motiv on some non-crafter character, but carefully place it into your bank, to be withdrawn and learned by your crafter alt, yes?

No game I know of that has anything like consumable skill books, crafting learnings, or such ever had any function to prevent this, or reverse a hasty choice.
So, take the lession for what it is, and pay more attention in the future?

...

One thing that -could- be done though was making containers and consumables seperate in inventory... like, motivs/recipes in the consumable tab, and containers in the misc tab... that way you would not learn a consumable skill book when opening numerous containers...

I would also like a confirmation for when I'm making gear for writs and bump the mats from CP150 to CP160 gear as I'm rushing up and down the screen.

I'm on console, so there are no add-ons to help here.

Oh how I would like a little paperclip in the corner to pop up and say "It looks like you're making CP160 gear without creating it as set items and without selecting any traits. Is this for a writ, and could you save 135 Rubedite by making CP150 gear?"

I made a thread on this before. I really would appreciate being able to lock consumable items! Especially now with all these furnishing designs and whatnot

A confirmation box would be handy. I've had my finger slip a couple of times by mistake.

FCO itemSaver addon lets you lock down any damn thing. I've use it on gear, consumables, motifs and master writs and additionally I love that it doesn't hide the item from the crafting window. That way I can deconstruct something that's out lived it's use during my routine decrafting. Further, advanced filters separates bags from other items and lets me spam click through the boxes without any danger of accidents.

That said, been here since Launch and yes addons are a huge huge help but a little care and focus goes a long way, and I never managed to do a stupid three times in a week!

Please no more attemps to make the game DAU safe.

I have done this too several times and now immidiately put the motifs i receive in my bank to prevent it from happening again.

I agree with those that say "slow down" because for me it's the main reason these kinda things happen to me.
Other similar things i've done repeatedly that fit this category are.

+ Accidently deconstruct valuable items (like elegant sharpened sword when it was still hot).
+ Buy the wrong jewelry piece from the golden vendor.
+ Buy alot of worthless white gear from a merchant thinking i was on the sell tab.
+ Craft CP160 gear without selecting the set gear tab first.
+ and the list goes on....

Can't really blame the game for any of this all i can say to myself when this happens is "slow down woman" lol.

I guess a confirmation box wouldn't be too bad but when pressing buttons this rapidly it might not always be sufficient and it can be annoying for when you don't mess up and just want to do stuff quick which is the case most of the time.

Ok.

Can't fault the logic here.

Artemiisia

I did it with a mazzatun staves, and was on ts with friends, laughed so hard at my mistake its just something that happens, learn from it and move on

Brrrofski

Yeh, I've managed to not do this as well.

Stop mindlessly clicking things and pay attention maybe

SirCritical

That feeling, when you have lots of characters, with a dedicated crafter, on which you spend quite a long time, but you log in with another char, just to deposit something in your bank, and you reveal some expensive motif-pages there, which you withdraw, then press "I" to open your inventory, consume the motifs, then you press "I" again to exit the inventory, and realizing the smiling face of your non-crafter.... Definitely, this is not the "misclick-category", but the Elder Inventory Management Online....

Lol blame otgers for your own mistakes x'D

Good advice. i admit i tend to rush these things, as my time with this game is very limited - much life in real world. As much as i appreciate these special events, they bring me a fair amount of frustration for various reasons. Thought sharing some would not be a bad idea, as it eases the pain when i know others deal with similar issues.

Sadly, there are others who enjoy adding to the pain (you know who you are), oh well...

i am so thankful we are not all same. We all have our own ways we play games and live our lives. How boring things would be otherwise..

I did this today. FML it was one my crafter needed too.

LadyLethalla

I wish you could lock Glyphs... on console... accidentally extracted a couple of golds I had in my bank.
