[2019] Leaving Items in the crafting window deletes them upon exiting the game

This isn’t, strictly speaking, a bug.

Moving the thread from Bug Reports to Feedback and Suggestions.

To clarify, I’m not saying “we’ve discussed this and are happy with the current functionality.”

For this to be a bug, we would need to specifically have decided to have the crafting slot act as permanent storage, have written code to that effect, and encounter an issue where that code is failing to achieve that for some reason. That isn’t the case here.

If we either haven’t discussed something, or just haven’t gotten around to something yet, that doesn’t mean we won’t make changes - it just means that the current functionality isn’t a bug. I’ll raise this issue and see where we stand on it, and if it’s likely to be changed soon.

Last Epoch is in beta. This means that the game is still under active development and not yet completed. As a consequence, some Quality of Life functionaity may not yet be available.

I’ve raised the issue internally as I previously said I would, and while work on this has not yet been assigned to someone and given a priority, I’ll continue to speak with the team about it and ensure either that it happens, or that we at least have a reason for it not happening.

Bug reports and suggestions on improvements go through different processes, and are handled by different teams (though admittedly we do currently have substantial overlap). As an argument on whether something is a ‘bug’ or ‘defect’ is not constructive, I’m locking the thread.

While this hasn’t yet gone through testing and been approved for inclusion in a future patch, we have gotten the crafting slot working as persistent storage internally.

Re-opening the thread.
