Lost count how many furnishing plans I've accidentally consumed on non-crafting alts this event.

SpiderKnight

I've seen it asked before, and I know it sounds silly but, please add a "Are you sure you want to do that?" to furnishing plans, motifs, maybe even purple recipes.

Elsonso

I have done this, but I don't want a confirmation. I'd have to get an add-on to disable it.

On PC, one option is to use Advanced Filters, then select Containers under the Consumables before opening rewards. Since only containers are shown, the rewards are absent.

The other option, and the only one available for console users, is to slow down when opening containers.

This isn't needed. Just stick 'em in the bank. When all done with your crafting, switch to the one that you want to learn the stuff with and have them learn what they can. Then decide what you are doing with the rest.

Sure, I've "accidentally" learned something on an alt before the main. Tho typically it was a stolen recipe / motif and I'd rather be sure it was learned rather than "accidentally" lost to a guard. Also, helps that my characters are fully capable of crafting for themselves.

Well yeah, you stick them in the bank, but when going through Jubilee boxes, open and collect, you're automatically put at the top of your inventory where the furnishing plan went and there goes the clicking too fast...And it's not just clicking too fast, there's so much lag in all areas of the game, sometimes there's a stutter.

have yet to consume one motif, furnishing plans or style pages. What can I say; SLOW DOWN!?

They really need to stop the jumping around in the inventory. If I am in the container section I shouldn't randomly be jumping to the recipe section. It's dumb.

idk

Slow down. Don’t be in such a rush and you won’t be consuming the recipes on your alts.

Because I look before I click.

lol happend to me to a lot of times...system isn't optimal...the best thing you can do is download lazy writ crafter because it opens container automatically and placed the content in your inventory so this doesn't happen anymore

Linaleah

happened to me twice. and then I basically forced myself to slow down becasue it does suck. I'm just afraid that adding a dialogue window will only increase the lag that is part of the reason why we sometimes learn recipes on a wrong character

The other day I accidentally purchased a 50k item because I was moving through the guild store too fast. Fumble fingers cost me FIFTY THOUSAND GOLD.

It still stings.

Yup. It’s specifically a big issue with this event. They didn’t think through the default UI responses when opening these boxes.

Exactly what I was going to suggest.

Although that doesn't help with the new outfit pieces, since those are apparently considered containers. But then the solution is to take a few seconds to read the name and make sure it's the right item before opening it.

I did accidentally use one of the Cadwell's outfit pieces because I wanted to link it in chat and mis-clicked the drop-down list, but so far that's only happened once (I've been playing since 2015) so I can't see it being a big problem for me.

I'm sorry but no to this. We get asked way too much if we're sure we want to do something as it is, it's very annoying. To be blunt, is isn't ZOS job to protect you from you, pay attention to what you are doing and this won't happen. It is just that simple.

The request from the OP is not that crazy, when fencing stolen, blue quality goods, you get a warning that items can not be bought back from the fence and you have to confirm the transaction.
Some items you delete from your inventory, demand a typed "DESTROY" confirmation.
Items sold to a NPC vendor can be bought back.

Not saying a publisher should cater to every player whim, but if I can imagine if these accidents happen often enough it can add to a positive player-base experience to implement a safety measure.

Then again, getting a warning each and every time you repeat an action can be pretty irritating.
Maybe it could be possible for players to choose which items to lock for certain actions.

I once deconstructed several items in quick succession at a workstation and accidentally destroyed a monster-helmet.
It doesn't keep me awake at night, but I try not to think back at that moment too much :P

Ohtimbar

I've done this countless times. There should be an optional confirmation.

And I'd argue that those are completely unnecessary as well - more so in fact. Selling or using rare motifs or plans are arguably far more impactful than destroying a batch of crown poisons. They could possibly add confirmation dialogue to the sale or consumption of rare motifs/plans - and then give us an option to turn off confirmations - ALL confirmations, to be clear.

You are correct it is not necessary.

Some people are persistent in being asked to be protected from their own actions (but blame it on the game).

I am not suggesting OP is blaming it on the game, but they are certainly asking Zos to protect them from their own choices because they cannot control themselves.

I think you can auto lock them FCO CraftFilter

Did this twice myself its a shame

Or maybe there are some of us that actually want intuitive UI. You know, a UI that doesn't jump sections randomly.

LurgidBean

I made a request to be able to lock consumables, which would prevent this in most cases.
In my post I linked to many other threads where this was an issue. Next time I'm on my computer I'll add this thread to it.

How about the developers not have the inventory jump from one category to the next in the middle of opening containers??

There is no good reason for the menu to jump like that. None. Put the blame where it's due.

Jeez Louise, these people siding with the status quo because they're such elite professionals and would never make a mistake. smfh.

Sylvermynx

? My inventory doesn't jump around. In fact, I have no idea what you mean by that.

I can count mine, one. I wasn't being hasty. I was trying to deposit a chest motif in my bank, and at the wrong moment, Tythis decided to wander off, the UI flickered, and I ate Bloodforge chests on one of my alts. Granted, that was last year, but, simply saying, "don't be hasty," isn't useful, because it is entirely possible for this to bite you in unexpected ways.

Irronically, an addon like BankManagerRevived, which does go faster, but automates the process.

Another shoutout for the add-on "Advanced Filters" - click on consumables, then containers and voila, that's all you'll see are containers.

Not sure how it works on pc, but on console if you are opening containers and one of them has a furnishing diagram or a provisioning recipe inside, instead of staying in the container category the ui jumps to the consumable category. It is extremely goofy.

Containers are considered consumables by the game. They appear in consumables on PC
