    [QOL] Saddle Bags and retainer interface. (XMB / Gamepads)

    If you want to move items directly from retainers to saddle bags with controller / xmb it's actually not easy to do.

    if I open the saddle bag for example and then hit the retainer bell. the saddle bag window closes straight away.

    if I open the retainer inventory and bring up the XMB to open the saddle bag the retainer interface closes.

    it's really awkward to get both open at the same time if you use gamepads and the XMB.

    could we not have a option on retainers to "entrust and withdraws items to saddlebag" under the general entrust and withdraw items option.

    Had to disable direct chat so I could use keybinds to get them both open. it's quite a pain. be even worse for a ps4 player that might not have a keyboard.

    Is there not a menu thing(like crafting/hunting log/inventory) under the Actions that you could use to open it? If so, it wouldn't be that hard(and this is without being home to check it, as I do play on PS4) to open it after opening the retainer inventory. I will definitely be testing it out when I get home though.

    there is under character. but the issue is as soon as you press the options button to bring the xmb up it closes all open windows including the retainer interface

    I mean like bind that to a button, I have one of the 8 sets for mounts/teleport/sprint/odds and ends, so if I can bind it to say X when I hold R2, then I can just use that instead of opening up any menus, which always close whatever windows you had open, and have retainer/inventory/saddlebags open at the same time.

    I could be mis-remembering, but I think pressing the "go to armoury chest" button swaps to the saddlebags if you press it again (i.e., it cycles from inventory to armoury to saddlebags and then back).

    SWEEEEET! yeah that works.

    I might then suggest they make it more visible. like tiangle go to armory / saddlebag. instead of just saying one

    lol yes I discovered this literally because I pressed the wrong button. The UI should be more visible... or exist at all.
