Guild Trader UI Improvements: Thank You ZOS!

Taleof2Cities · January 2019

Many thanks ZOS for the improvements ... especially the item search (I will be happy to test on PTS).

Guild Trader UI Improvements (coming in Update 21)

The Guild Trader Interface has received a number of changes and new features in this update:

Item name search: Directly search for an item based on its name.
Name matching: Entering part of an item name displays a list of all matching items, so you can still hone in on what you’re looking for without knowing the complete name.
Recent searches: Each search is saved and can be easily used again at any Guild Trader.
Price per unit display and sorting: When dealing with items of varying stack sizes, the unit price provides an additional point of comparison. (@Taleof2Cities adds: "Great for console peasants.")
Category and filter updates: Based on feedback and the Guild Store transaction data, we’ve made modifications to the categories and filters in an effort to make finding commonly traded things easier.

I appreciate the changes too, we've waited more than 4 years for it!

Awesome, about time!

Sylvermynx · January 2019

This will be REALLY appreciated! I'm still trying to get all the traits learned, and that means using the traders....

Will these changes also be coming to the consoles?

Yes, they are going into the base game. Very happy that another addon will no longer be needed.

I'm cautiously optimistic and will turn off AGS add-on for a bit when Update 21 drops as item search, saved search and item price breakdown are the main reasons I use it.

Does it keep a history of your purchases etc that awesome guild store and master merchant does ?

Actually the AGS will still come in handy with the sub menu's as well

These are welcome additions to the base game. I also like the price per unit feature. It seems to be a common practice on Ps4 for people to try and hide higher prices per unit in larger stacks.

Yeah this is pretty great. Many many many thanks to the creator(s) of AGS add-on, but this is loooong past due. My main hope for this is that it can consolidate the search results instead of going through many empty pages.

Ohtimbar · January 2019

Long overdue but no less appreciated, especially on PS4.

jainiadral · January 2019

Sounds great

How is the performance? Is there any lag in the interface? I never knew if my search delays were AGS or the actual trader.

Pretty much this. AGS is a great add on but it is much better to have these features implemented directly in game.

Smart move by ZOS.

I too am looking to save more time at the Guild Traders.

Ackwalan · January 2019

It's about time ZOS make the trade search work the way other games did 15 years ago.

macsmooth · January 2019

About time for consoles it has been hell and damaging to your eyesight

Vanguard1 · February 2019

While I appreciate the addition, this will still not cut down the time it takes to load into every zone and search every store in the game. It also doesn't address the outrages cost of guild traders, or promote more competition in pricing. I think this is to little being done in the market area for a 4 year change.

This boggles my mind that people actually fall for this...

You can do the math on a 3mil target dummy and convert minutes to seconds but can’t simply move a decimal one place over or divide by 2-5?
