I hate the new filet option

YetAnotherLinuxUser · June 2023

It means have to press e tra buttons 36x to do daily crafting to get to the food and beverage craft menu that's now hidden behind a creation menu. Since most people aren't fileting but crafting why not make it an option after the furnishing menu. Food drink furnishing filet? Or food drink filet furnishing. Why make extra work for everyone doing daily crafting?

emilyhyoyeon · June 2023

yeah I will admit I'm surprised it's the first/default tab at the cooking station

Heartrage · June 2023

Ok, if I understand correctly, you are not happy that the provisioning crafting window open on the filet tab and you would want it to be the last tab of the window?

YetAnotherLinuxUser · June 2023

I'm not happy with the creation of good a drink now takes an extra press of the button because it's now a sub menu rather than the main menu. Go and see.

i use an addon that completely changes the interface for the provisioning station, so ill have to double check to make sure that isnt broken (i didnt pay attention which addons were updated yesterday i just hit update all and logged in lol)

I use the addon "master recipe list" which allows for checking the "Quests Only" box, which seems to shortcut to the food and drink menus for just the writ quest items.

Tommy_The_Gun · June 2023

Yep, the filet option in provisioning station won't be used that often, so it makes senses to move it to the right and make food & drink buttons the default ones as those are used way more often.

SpacemanSpiff1 · June 2023

yea. why [snip] is it the default first tab? a single use of the station shows that is poorly designed.

[edited for avoiding curse filter]

It would be better as last tab, I'm glad it's an option though.

I don't use an addon, and I have the "Quests Only" box checked, but it still defaults to the Filet tab, so the addon you're using must be bypassing it.

Zos could use some expert ui skills, tbh

YetAnotherLinuxUser · June 2023

i use gamepad ui on pc. i dont see a quests only box at all.

Danikat · June 2023

I haven't looked at the crafting station yet but making it the first option does sound annoying.

I almost never go fishing so I almost never have fish to fillet, but I use the provisioning station regularly to make food and drinks (you know, the thing it's actually for) so having those relegated to secondary tabs in favour of something I'll probably never use is annoying.

if it takes an expert to realize that ui is bad, Lord save us!

There is still the filet add-on, and it works great.

Braffin · June 2023

I'm fine with the fillet option per se, but agree placing it as first tab is the worst idea possible

Agreed, I use it, and its tracking of the perfect roe drop rate is a nice feature.

i dont see how that is relevant.

No, but it can take an expert to create a good ui. As a developer myself, I know that creating a good ui experience is a skill in itself.

A lot of eso's ui looks like it has been cobbled together by different dev teams over the years. There's no consistency and many things are not intuitive.

tincanman · June 2023

Yes, it's a dreadful design choice putting the filet option left most and not right-most.

Also, what happened to the food/drink recipe scroll bars? Finding the right recipe used to be a bit of a chore before but, without the scroll bar, it's a real nuisance and a pretty unpleasant experience.

AzuraFan · June 2023

Same in gamepad mode. Filet is the first choice. You have to move down one to get to provisioning. Should be the other way around since most players will use provisioning much more than filet.

SilverBride · June 2023

I find it annoying too because it adds an extra step to anything I do at the provisioning station.

Reverb · June 2023

I understand and share the annoyance that the fish filet UI is the default when you access a provisioning station. But I’m not at all sure why so many of you seem to be crafting items for each writ, instead of crafting provisioning items in bulk and banking them.

Alinhbo_Tyaka · June 2023

I agree it is a poor UI design with the placement of filet and making it the default. Since filet will be lightly used by most players it would be much better to be at the far right leaving everything in their historical positions.

Stop trying to bait people.

I'm having a different problem. I go to the provisioning station and no tab for cleaning fish at all.

I do craft in bulk for writs, but there are master writs, and then my new character is leveling her provisioning.

That's probably caused by an addon.

But if not, I'd be happy to replicate this problem on my game

It's really annoying to retrain muscle memory

M0ntie · June 2023

It doesn’t need an expert UI developer - just some that LISTEN TO FEEDBACK GIVEN FROM THE PTS.
This was pointed out that Fillet shouldn’t be first but as usual ZOS have ignored it.

BlueRaven · June 2023

It sounds like they placed it first as it’s basically cookings version of “refining”, which appears first in the other crafting stations.
