Would you like extra slots on the ability bar?

Pengeszikra

No

The combat system with limited bar is my favored one. Combined with roll, block, interrupt, hide, heavy or light attack give great dynamic battle feeling.
Instant weapon swapping is give more fluid feeling, but sometime don't work under short time in battle, which is can cause problem.

May times i forget change bar when solve quest, skills improving just on actual bar, possible good idea each two bar skills improving when questing.

Its fine 5 skills and ulti are enough. 1 Space more isnt good, e.g. because there is no need to decide between 2 skills.
Now with 6. Place many people easiely take both skills and dont mind about pros/cons of these skills.

This would result in a damn heavy change for the build system and this is atm a bad idea.

yes 1 or 2 would be nice.

yes one to two on each bar. Or make special slots that hold the same skill on both bars. For example if one put mages light and Immovable in the special slots they would be equipped on both bars. I think these special slots would not be as OP as more general skill slots, since each special slot adds one skill not two.

One or two would allow me some flexibility in my PVE strategies, I don't need dozens of slots (like I had in other games), but two more would help a lot.

Disagree, you still have to choose, I have more than six abilities I want to use, so I would still be selecting what's best. I just want to have a few extra abilities, not loads, so I can have a few surprises for when my main selection isn't working.

It really wouldn't change the game a huge amount, just add some flexibility.

I don't think anyone here (yet) wants dozens abilities like in other games, they get the point about choosing your abilities wisely.

No, the system's fine as it is. I like the tactical approach to limiting your active abilities. The fact that you have loads of skills available on the ability bars in other MMOs doesn't mean that you ever use more than a handful of them.

I would like to have one more slot, then I am sure I would like to have another slot, it is a slippery slop, and there will always be the want for "one more " LOL
I would like a slot to carry just a special attack of somekind.

Yes, I'd like to see one additional slot added !

I dont really the need myself for now.

After they add spellcrafting , then maybe.

ApfelkuchenXi

No

I'm a tank and the only real damage i deal is through abilities. An extra ability slot would be very helpfull, but would also make the game a bit easier. I think with the available amount of abilities we've got, 12 slots should be enough.

Yes (Discuss how many in comments if you have a specific amount in mind)

One more would be enough. With all the skill we have it would help.

Your resources run out long before you can use all the spells/skills anyway.
I say no...as the more limited the bar...the more variety of builds are out there.
At the moment some people choose some skills and some choose others.
This makes them 'different'.
I would rather face 'different' enemies than 'clones' all using the same setup.
You never know quite what you will be facing which makes it challenging and interesting and unpredictable.

How about removing a slot and making the choice have far more impact for you and your adversaries ?

Arthur_Spoonfondle

I was tempted to say no as, like many others, I like the fact it makes you think, carefully about what spells/abilities you should equip but, when playing a sorcerer it would be nice to have your main creature summon on a separate button so you still have 5 combat spells and abilities available.

I wouldn't be against 1 xtra slot per bar
but well that prob screw up their console controller layout so dont see it happening

Just make weapon swap more reliable and fluid. Quickslots could use an overhaul as well. Something less clunky.

Only if I get a mercenary button

Six skill slots and an additional ultimate with shared resources. Also, this game will never see more than six skill slots due to the game coming to consoles and that it is an action based rpg, not click based

You missed the points some of us were making, we're not asking for a rebuild of the system, but rather a refinement. An extra slot or two would allow us to carry an ability we'ld like but is less utility they the ones we currently use.

It's not going to make choose any less seriously, just give us an extra option, like having a weaponskill for when we run out of magicka, or my templar having a heal on his bar.

PBpsy

Yes (Discuss how many in comments if you have a specific amount in mind)

Yeah the game would have been far better with one or two more skill buttons.Nothing kills build diversity like this 5 button crap.

Since this will never happen I just hope they will at least make an option to have a two button swap. The amount of annoyance removed by having tab 1 on ~ and tab 2 on Tab would be enormous.Also a non idiotic consumable bar would be appreciated.

TheRealDoc

No

Haven't read the whole thread, but voted no.

What I would like is two profiles for the ability bars that cannot be swapped in combat.
One profile would only work in Cyrodil. The other would only work everywhere else.

EDIT: Also to use the same weapon in both slots (not two of the same weapon type).

I can respect people who have a differing opinion, but it's only a two page thread, read it.

Just one more ability... ugh

RSram

Other Suggestion (Will Reply with it in comments)

I think the five slots on each of the two bars are fine, but all of the abilities should be persistent after swapping; for example, the Unstable Familiar should still be active after a weapon swap, same with ultimate abilities.

The only reason an ultimate should be stopped is if the player pressed the Ultimate key to kill it, it died, it ran out of ultimate, or another ultimate on the other hot bar was selected.

I'm tired of wasting a slot or two because of the non-persistent nature of the hot bar.

A "Mage" in ESO is everyone who uses Class Abilities because they all cost Magicka. As for Sorcerers, I am also a Templar and Dragon Knight.

Nocturnalis

Yes (Discuss how many in comments if you have a specific amount in mind)

Yes, but more along the lines of another suggestion: you should have the choice to slot a regular spell in the place of your ultimate.

I think that would give more flexibility and planning to the skill load out while keeping the interesting choices made by having limited slots.

Make the ultimate slot able to hold "normal" spells ZOS!

I agree on behalf of my sorcerer, although she'd settle for being able to replace the creature summon ability once it's been used without automatically losing the creature just summoned! Apart from anything else, it would prevent the creature being accidentally lost in the middle of a fight because the summon button was hit by mistake.

So much this! If people want skill slots out of their ***, there is WoW or it's clones.

I am V12 Templar and not even using all my slots.
