Official Feedback Thread for Craft Bags

Beardimus · April 2016

This sounds awesome, all for it - althought my millions wasted in bag & bank upgrades.. haha! maybe we need the option to lease out spare bank space... HAHA

Seriously tho - it does feel things are being made 'simpler' provisioning writs, enchanting now storage - whilst they bugged me at times it was good to have some admin to work on / towards. I dont mind a bit of graft!

This is the official feedback thread for Craft Bags. Specific feedback that the team is looking for includes the following:
Were you able to find the Craft Bag?

Did you understand when items you picked up went into the Craft Bag?

Did you understand what items go into the Craft Bag, and which ones do not?

Did you understand how to pull items out of the Craft Bag to trade or mail them?

Do you understand how crafting is integrated into the Craft Bag?

Did you notice any other players using their Craft Bags? (Specifically, did you notice the new Craft Bag model?)

Were there any items that you feel should have been included in the Craft Bag?

How much backpack and bank space did you free up when your items moved into your Craft Bag?

Do you have any other general feedback?

1. Yes, finding the bag was not hard. It did take a moment to remember those icons top right of the inventory screen. I don't use them very often.

2. When the loot display was turned on, yes, the icon made it obvious. I really don't see that I need that information, though.

3. In general, I understood what items went into the bag. Bait surprises me.

4. Retrieve and Stow were pretty clear. It was surprising that the bag was not directly accessible, but not a problem.

5. No surprises with how it works with crafting. This is how I was using the bank.

6. I did not notice other players playing with their bags right away. I was not aware that there was anything special that was presented outwardly.

7. I did not see anything that should have been in the bag, but was not. I noticed that stolen items not yet fenced do not go in the bag, and this is proper.

8. I dropped from 240 of 240 bank spaces used to 32 bank spaces used. Most of my crafting materials were in the bank. My one provisioner kept provisions in inventory and she went from 128 of 170 backpack used to 74 of 170 used.

9. I think this is too generous. An account wide crafting bag is nice. An account wide crafting bag that is shared between characters seems too much, and I am frankly very surprised ZOS went this way. I can see why, but it still surprises me. I think that unlimited space is also too much. Extra space is nice, unlimited space just seems too much. I share concerns that others have over the economy and market impact. I play this game for the social interactions, and a big part of that (for me) is selling crafting materials to people who need them. If this bag ends up making it so that there is less reason for them to buy, then there is less reason for me to sell, and ultimately less reason for me to play. In games like Skyrim and Fallout 4, I just toss stuff I don't need, and the one big difference with an MMO is that someone else might want that stuff. I find it rewarding that other people can use stuff that I don't need.

While I think that overall I'll like the craft bag, there is one aspect that I don't find appealing. I have characters that are "separate" - in that they don't generally share materials, gold, etc. Yes, the bank is shared, but things only go into and out of the bank manually (other than when creating items at a craft station). But now, any time any character gains crafting mats, they will go into the craft bag shared across all characters. This makes it very difficult to play the characters "separately", as their craft loot is auto-pooled. It would be "nice" if there was a per-character option to disable auto-deposit of craft mats into the bag.

Shadowfx1970 · April 2016

Just logged into pts to craft some items and all my materials have disappeared, is this due to creating another character?

A lot of my mats are missing from the crafting bag. All mats and trait material from my bank are gone. All woodworking, blacksmithing, and clothing mats are gone from my player that had them.

For some reason when you make a new character all of your mats in the crafting bag are whipped out. Logged into armor and weapons crafters and all their stuff and traits and raw materials from the bank went into the bag. Later I created a new character and all the stuff in the bag was gone.

Went back and logged into enchanter and provisioner and all mat went into bag. Made a new character and the same thing happened. Just an FYI

Kanar · April 2016

Here's my feedback on the crafting bag: it's a mistake to make it ESO plus only. If it goes live like this, here is what I will do:
1. Sign up for ESO plus ($15 but I will get 1.5k crowns which I would have bought anyway)
2. Put my huge collection of mats in the craft bag
3. Cancel ESO plus after one month
4. Forever have access to craft bag mats, and only have to manage some of the rare new mats I find.

On the other hand, if the bag was for sale in the crown store I'd easily pay 3k crowns or more.

@acw37162 Definitely try. On PTS even ESO+ members from live need to "purchase" (fake buy) the DLC. So I don't think it matters.

Hmmmm, I didn't have to. The link for the Gold Coast was on the map after I logged in and the crafting bag was immediately available.

Ahhh....I was wondering what happened to everything in my crafting bag. Thanks!

We’ve identified an issue where the Craft Bag on an account is cleared out after creating a character on the PTS using a pre-made template. We want everyone to know that this is a bug with the templates and not the Craft Bag itself, and since there are no templates on the live megaservers, this bug won’t replicate there. We’re currently looking into possible changes we can make for the PTS character templates moving forward so that this no longer occurs.

Any chance of getting a recopy of the account so we can test crafting?

Why? Create a new template character, open that crafting crate and get an endless supply of every mat in the game. And if that endless supply somehow turns out not to be endless, just delete that template and create a new one.

Gilliamtherogue · April 2016

This just happened to me as I was about to craft some new stuff, however at first it only removed my Enchanting items. After making a 2nd PTS character it removed them all, and for some odd reason PTS templates are not given Enchanting materials. Can this be addressed in the next PTS build? A simple box of 200 of each enchanting ingredient as the others, so that we can properly test things? Other than that, fantastic job with PTS this time around. You've taken leaps and bounds in giving us the ability to fully test the game compared to when PTS first was introduced. Keep up the great work.

Ghost-Shot · April 2016

I'm not sure if I'm doing it wrong, but I could not find any of the materials that were in my bank. All the new mats or mats that were in character inventories have gone into the craft bags but none of the items that were in my bank appear to be anywhere.

Edit: Just read more of the thread, I did make a template toon before logging onto to any of my regular characters so it may be related to that.

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom Just to mention. There still is a bug with crafting bags. I have not created any template characters and I can only access some items from some characters. The items don't really go missing, but you cannot see or use them from some characters (so it looks like they are missing).

Nifty2g · April 2016

The only thing I'm mad about is I spent just over 1mil maxing my bank space out

BL me

acw37162 · April 2016

Currently have no access to crafting bags on test.

I believe this is is due to the fact that I only purchased a PC copy of the game for access to test and have a subbed copy for my PS4.

Minor Rang Incoming;

I don't mind supporting the game with a subscription or in game purchases I will do so gladly most of the time. I do however mind when and entire segment of the community is left out of testing or In order to participate in testing has to re-purchase an already purchased product.

I understand PS4 and XBOX don't support testing environments and it would be an exceptional amount of work and application of resources to create such a resting environment. Overlooking the fact it would most assuredly prevent several issues, bugs, and allow for more testers, you could very easily and with a fraction of resource allotment allow players who have purchased the game on console to download test on their PC or Mac if they so chose to and participate and testing.

I was really looking forward to testing crafting bags they were one of my most wished for items but j absolutely refuse to pay two subscriptions for the four to six times a year to test and moreover I should not have to.

Rant over,

Thanks for reading of you made it this far.

As a workaround, excluding kuta, you can deconstruct glyphs from consumables bag.

Mix · April 2016

Please ignore, issue was addressed above!

Xael · April 2016

All of my crafting items are now gone from the bag including those that came over from the live copy.
I have nothing at all.

Crafting bag is broken as hell and needs to be fixed before you launch this dlc.

GTech_1 · April 2016

My feedback on the ESO Plus Crafting Bag:

It

...

Is

...

AWESOME!

I love it. It is an *excellent* "thank you" to all of us 2 year + ESO Plus subscribers.
Please, for the love of pete, keep this as a Sub-only benefit, and never sell it on the crown store.

One thing I did notice, however, was that fishing bait is included in the bag. Personally, I think this is also excellent, but it's listed in the "Provisioning" category.
Now, I know that folks in Tamriel eat some weird stuff, but Crawlers, Insect Parts, Worms, and Guts? lol

In all seriousness, please keep the bait in there, just give it its own category. Maybe with a fishing pole / fishing hook icon.

Thanks for the Awesome!

HAIL SITHIS!

There are no enchanting or provisioning mats in the new template loadout kits.

Vangy · April 2016

Oh lord...

Just reading this thread makes me want to cancel ESO+ before craft bags make it to live. I'd hate to suddenly be missing hundreds of mats 'poof-ed' into oblivion with new DLC... ZOS pls fix any bugs with these bags please. I love the idea of saving tons of bank space but not at the cost of my precious 100+ kutas and tempers.

Johngo0036 · April 2016

my crafting bag works just fine except that it is not shared across characters,

is this a bug or intended?

helediron · April 2016

Apart from the emptying bug, the bag is fantastic. The most common crafting is to make leveling gear to guildies. Mats management always took time. No personal bank could hold all the intermediate level mats.
- Previously i always had to visit guild bank to fetch level specific items and return them back afterwards. Now i can keep all the mats for all levels available from cache in the bag. I can directly jump to set station.
- When someone asks those three missing x, i can just post them wherever i am.
- No longer need to fetch that bloody missing x myself.
- All the style stones were eating my bank like a cookie monster.
- This makes Tythis more useful.
- Reduces need of mules and saves relogging back and forth.

Johngo0036 · April 2016

could be the create bug

Drummerx04 · April 2016

I understand that making the craft bag ESO+ only is a huge push for more subscribers and it will probably work quite well, but I and many others would absolutely buy the craft bag off the crown store for 5000 crowns.

NTclaymore · April 2016

I came here to post the issue with the crafting bag caused by the Template. Seems like it was discovered allready. So ill just say i LOVE the crafting bag. 100+ free spaces for me to store random set-items... yes. i hoard stuff.

Takuto · April 2016

Items are disappearing from my crafting bags. I have not created a template character.

Items in my crafting bag seem to disappear, seemingly at random -- not appearing in the bag or on crafting screens. They disappear after I pick that item up again and it highlights them as "new" but then disappear again after zoning. It isn't affecting all items, ie, i'm not only seeing "new" items, it simply seems to be affecting some. I noticed this while trying to find alchemy mats, and after noticing it checked my C150 crafting mats, and noticed that every single type except for itade runes were gone. Deconstructing an couple of items brought their materials back to the UI with the expected quantities.

Another piece of feedback, I don't feel that every time a QTY is updated, say from 1700, to 1701, that my crafting bag needs to be highlighted as having "new" items in it. Clicking over to the bag isn't clearing the items from new when I click back to my inventory, which is fairly annoying, and the crafting bag will *always* be highlighted seeing as nearly everything you do in the game accumulates materials.

silky_soft · April 2016

When I deleted a template toon it deleted all the crafting bank
