Skill Loadouts for Consoles and PC

For anyone not aware, a skill loadout is having a set of particular skills ready to go to tackle different types of content. I'm sure a lot of us have used features like this in the past with other games.

This idea/feature stems from wasting time each day changing up skills for pve, pvp, etc.

A very basic setup would be:

Loadout 1 - Pve
Loadout 2 - Pvp
Loadout 3 - Trials

And on and on. You see where I'm going with this. Each loadout would cover both bars.

I do believe loadouts should be treated the same as skill switching is now. When in combat, you cannot switch loadouts.

Any reason why we don't have skill loadouts built into the console edition of ESO? There is an add-on feature for loadouts available on PC, but it's not built into the main game.

Could we please add this feature sometime in the future?

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Thanks.

    Good thought. But it does take seconds to change set up and they have enough to deal with as it is.

    Those seconds can really add up when going for a speed run on certain content. And that may be the case for one to two skills to swap, but not so much for a complete new set of skills, possibly on both bars.

    I'm no dev, but I can't imagine the feature being hard to implement considering it exists on PC already.

    Actually, it does not in the base game. There are some add ons that do this.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Correct. Was just about to edit my post saying that. Thanks for clarifying.

    Would be great if that "PC add on" could just be part of the game for all platforms.

    Can we add "To consoles and PC"

    Yes, there are add-ons that can do this.

    Yes, those add-ons are buggy and sometimes randomly switch one of my bars back. It's annoying.

    Of course. It has been done. Thanks for the suggestion.

    ^This would go for sooo many add ons. Most of those functions should have been in game from the start.

    It's called immersion, resulting in the UI you have right now. Call it good design or lazyness, it's up to you :wink:

    This is a great idea.

    I was thinking about this the other day. Cos on other MMOs, you have Hot bars that you can Pre set and swap combat bars while out of combat.
    So you don't have to mess around.

    That necro... obligatory PC masterrace... Never played console so I don't know how slow it is to swap out skills, but PC even without the addons I never had an issue, it is very useful though...
