NEW weapon swapping: show both sets on character

isailandshootub17_ESO · March 2016

I would like to see an option which would allow the player to toggle their secondary weapon to show on character. If you had two staves, they should both show. If staff and bow, or dual wield/bow, etc., all should display on character. The only exception that might be useful would be those who wield sword and shield on both bars, as the appearance of two sword/shield sets (and possibly two dual-wield sets) might be so clunky as to outweigh the immersive benefit. In any case, I imagine having two sets with the same weapons slotted would still appear reasonably natural.

I would personally love to see this implemented as an option in the UI, much like the 'hide helmet' option. Those who didn't like the feature wouldn't be forced to use it in PVE. However, It might be a good option to required in Cyrodiil as a means of revealing the weapon strategy of your opponents. I see this as a means of adding realism reasonably.

It find it immersion breaking to see my sword and shield disappear and my bow appear out of thin air.

I would also like to see a means to summon mounts in a more immersive way, perhaps something similar to the Witcher, when your horse appears somewhere away from your character and runs to you. Again, I find it immersion breaking to have your mount magically appear. (perhaps this should be a separate thread).

I personally believe ESO is the most beautiful MMO on the market. It is easy to get lost in its world, and think changes such as these might enhance that experience.

Uuh.. I would run a double greatsword set-up just to *** off npcs who would direct me to witcher contracts... Oh wait...

I personally enjoy having magic pockets that hide things like staves or shields on my back. Much more stylish.

I appreciate the humor, but in truth magic pockets are not a bad idea. perhaps a bound weapon ability? I would just like an option.

I too would like to see both sets sheathed, even while riding. But... there are issues, both clipping, and added lag wise. SO I don't really expect it to happen anytime soon, or ever... but I'd like to see it, regardless...

Bumping, would love this also

Yes please. I would love to have this option. I would also like to see weapon sheathes too though.

I'd happy if my character wouldn't try brake his wrists with his two daggers after using his two-handed bow.

Still love to see this, sad they never replied to mine or others threads regarding this.

It would look weird if you have a bow on your first and second bar - or 2 staves.

Two staves wouldn't look too bad at all, but yes two Bows would be conflicting but the OP did mention the toggle shouldn't affect bars that have two of the same type of weapon.

I'm also VERY for this. I like the idea of your character appropriately showing on their person what is equipped in the inventory.

Great idea but I'd prefer them to fix the current clipping issues on many shoulder pieces first.
