Overhaul for Crafting/Bag/Guild Store UI

JordanSharp

When is this game going to get an overhaul of the ridiculously horrible UI for Crafting, Bag, Guild Store etc? It's extremely unfortunate for console players who can't use mods to fix these issues (not saying its right that you should have to use mods to fix this in the first place).

It just gets to a point where people who love to collect all the sets etc have to spend about a day a week having to sort their inventory which would be made so much easier with a better UI.

I actually spend more time trying to sort my inventory than playing the game at this point.

Even just something that groups sets/let's you search for specific sets - the unique items names just make things so complicated and difficult as well as sets are never grouped together.

Even on pc, with addons, inventory management is just sooo time consuming. I spend way to much time trying to sort my item sets and sometimes I am simply overwhelmed and just log off.

Agreed. I like the "multiple bags" setup, and a simple search function can't be THAT hard... can it?

They need to give or sell us a massively expanded bank. ..as in like 10x what we get now. Inventory management is the number two issue with this game after lag.

Can someone please tell me the rationale for capping our bank space so low (even with eso plus) given how many different items and item types there are in this game?

What they need to do really is with every DLC/Chapter is increase the capacity of the bank and inventory by a token amount of 10, even that wouldnt cover the amount of new sets, materials etc etc that gets released, but would go towards helping.

What makes it worse is the fact quest items count as a space, why? why cant quest items not take a space up?

For people who dont sub or levelled there bank/inventory up (new player) then it really is an issue.

They want to keep the craft bag as a means to improve your inventory management. Increase the slots available to much, then you will not pay for ESO+ as it is not needed.

There should still be an increase to the bank cap. maybe about 50 slots which is 5 increases of 10 slots.

Inventory insight and advanced filters addons should be core features of the game.

ZOS won't increase bag space for everyone any time soon. Their miracle of multiplication of crafting materials (remember when style and trait materials didn't need to be refined?), motifs (remember when a style came complete in its own book and didn't consist of pages or page fragments?) and the continuous addition of new sets are intended, since the crafting bag and double bank space are probably some of the biggest drivers of ESO+ sales.

IMO the only solution would be to go back to subscription-only and reverse all the inconveniences introduced to make people use the crown store or to drive sub sales. But for some reason I can't begin to understand, people are fine with paying for fluff and pixels, but not with paying a monthly sub for a game they play constantly and that gets constant maintenance and updates. This has been the way in all MMOs and will continue to be the way in all MMOs until someone has the balls to make a sub-only, no-microtransactions game. Kind of like what ZOS said it was doing before they blatantly broke their promise. Here's hoping Pantheon Rise of the Fallen will deliver on their own promise

[EDIT] As for the original topic, I agree that the UI could use some serious improvements. I remember after the game came out originally I held out for months before caving in and grabbing some add-ons because I firmly believed ZOS should get their stuff right, not some random add-on developer. But that ship has long since sailed. I feel for console users, but you probably won't see any improvement there.

The only rationale I can think of is database resource limits on ZoS' end. Other than that...? No idea, TBH.

You can arrange your bank? Scrolling around on the PS4 is a complete pain.
