good job on making crafting dailies more arduous

cncurbanmonk · November 2020

Put it back please, when doing crafting dailies and you go to open what you get it won't stay on the "consumable" tab and goes back to "all", so you either have to click on the consumable tab for each one or just scroll thru all to open everything. Can't see a reason for the change, or it is just one of them fix one thing and screw up something else kind of things.

I know! First world problems, but it really is a quality of life issue!

Every time they do something like this I wonder what their thought process was, I mean just why?

Or was it an untested, unintended consequence of some other "improvement"...

If you’re on PC, get the Lazy Writ Crafter add-on to open all those containers for you (you can have it do this even if you want to still do the actual writs yourself). It always annoys me when I have to chase containers throughout my inventory — first it’s new, but now it’s moved to alphabetical, and now there’s the container it contains... Especially with the recent crafting writ QoL improvements, fulling opening and sorting all my rewards is a big reason I still use the add-on (it is a great add-on, and also facilitates grabbing already-made potions (only take care if you make more powerful potions that unfortunately share the name) and provisioning from the bank to fulfill writs).

I noticed this issue while opening my Markarth reward containers. My inventory no longer remembers where it was before. ZOS, please change this back. It's a small thing, but very, very annoying to scroll through my entire list each time I want to open a series of containers.

Firstmep · November 2020

Oh God no.
Sometimes I spend my ap buying set bags in cyro, and if it doesn't default back to consumables then all the unboxed pieces will no longer be marked as new, and Ill have to sort thru my inventory for em.
Even worse with pvp reward mails, lol.

You had me at 'thought process'.
Good one.

I don't honestly think they have a thought process i truly belive they mess crap up on purpose to create work.

AlnilamE · November 2020

I don't understand.

I did my writs this morning after the patch, and the containers were at the top of my inventory as "new" items until I was done opening them.

That's how it's always been for me.

What am I missing?

Lobotron · November 2020

If that was planned as ,,quality of life improvement " that person never played this game apparently.

Auora · November 2020

Was opening dailys from Dragonguard, and also the half-eaten containers from killing dragons... and each time I opened one it put me back at the All page of inventory, instead of in Consumable like I had been.

This is really obnoxious, please fix it.

FlopsyPrince · November 2020

I do not have addons on the PS4. I want to be able to press the "loot all" button (the square) when viewing the container on my list to pull everything out. I should not have to go into the container to empty it.

Not having room can work like it does now, not pulling items out.

That would save me a LOT of time and annoyance!

Eedat · November 2020

Press Alt instead of Esc to close the containers and the rest stay at the top as new.

As soon as I would open one and take the items it would pop me back to "All" and you had to click on the "Consumables" again and they were no longer "new"........this is on PC in case there is a difference

katorga · November 2020

How does fixing random lfg queues manage to break this?

Anyway, it happens when using anything in your inventory...it reverts back to the "all" view.

There's a workaround posted in the other thread about this problem:

The problem seems to be that those who are now responsible for code fixes really have no familiarity with said code. That is a MAJOR issue. But when management "requires" something done NOW, but does not allow anyone who needs to understand the background (that would be the millions of lines of code) nothing good will come of it. NOTHING.

Now, I don't have any issues with this game at all. I don't have crashes, I don't have uncompletable quests, I don't honestly have any problems. And no, I have no idea really why that is my experience - other than that I do not do anything labeled "endgame" (which just means that I am an outlier).

Personally, I think that there isn't a dev pod in the world today which could figure out the situation here. Because there's not enough money and time to get it sorted.

For me, this game works perfectly. All the time. It has worked perfectly for 2.5 years.... while I just play my questing game with antiquities, exploration, housing and crafting as extensions. I think that's fine - because that's what works for me. But for those of you who have "larger grander" expectations.... yeah.... I'm thinking you probably need to look for another game...

And what that means for me, if you go there - well, eventually I won't have this game to play. *sigh* Life's a "femdog" and then you die I guess.

MinnesotaKid · November 2020

This is a very annoying change, it even clears your filter from the search box....
I get tons of rewards for the worthy and it's a real pain trying to open these now.

MercilessnVexed · November 2020

Do I even want to log in to this?

Saint Dolgubon has saved me immeasurable amounts of time & effort with the Lazy Writ Crafter... best PC Add-on by a million miles.

EvilAutoTech · November 2020

Writs seem to be still working on Xbox.

cncurbanmonk · December 2020

Is this an issue that ZOS plans to fix or what? Royal PITA to do dailies let alone the stack of Master Writs I haven't done, as it such a major pain to have to keep changing back to Consumables then scroll down list to either do or accept the Writ to turn it in after you made all the required things. At least acknowledge you know about the issue, and if you are not going to put it back to way it was then let us know, as I will not bother buying Master Writs to do anymore if later is the case as a total waste of time.

Coatmagic · December 2020

It has been this way since previous patch (for me) and it really is annoying when opening multiple containers 8(

Izanagi.Xiiib16_ESO · December 2020

Get this addon - https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info914-VotansSearchBox.html

Set it to remember your filter.

Helps a lot - but yeh this bug is annoying.

FlopsyPrince · December 2020

Have the writ tell me if I know the pattern to make it (and ideally if I have the right style mats)!

Also let me accept more than 1 of each kind so I can have several, not just one at a time since the turn in, even in Deshaan, is a run from the crafting location. (Don't mention the distance in Grahtwood!

This would be so nice if ZOS ever added it to base game. They could set it as an option in setting for those who for whatever reason don't want it.

Be safe and have fun

It would be a simple change. Square does not do anything when a container is selected now. Just let it open the container and pull all the times out!

katanagirl1 · December 2020

This must be a PC only issue or add-on related. The containers are the same as the same as they have always been for me.

Having an actual interface on the crafting station so I can see what to craft is a much needed improvement. I don’t have to write things down on pieces of paper anymore.

SeaGtGruff · December 2020

It might be a PC-/Mac-only issue (I have no idea), but it definitely isn't related to add-ons, because I play with zero add-ons.

LashanW · December 2020

If you play on PC try the Advanced Filters addon. It'll fix all those issues with inventory tabs, filters and sorting.

You can craft all the master writs at one time, I don't actually accept a master writ until I'm standing at the writ turn in. Then I accept the writ, turn in the crafted item at that time, accept the next writ, turn in the crafted stuff, rinse/repeat until my inventory is empty.

I have to admit to finding the 'new' reset filters annoying as I used to do about 6 of each master writ 'type' then use 1 of each at the hand-in NPC & hand all 6 over - then repeat 6x, now 2 more key presses per writ is 'annoying' ...
