Just... 1... more... skillslot.

bg22

That’s all I ask. I’ll never ask for anything again (on here) if you made this happen.

Idk how much severe anxiety I’ve had by trying to pick my 5th skill on each bar!

JamieAubrey

1. Reroll Sorc
2. Slot Overload
3. 5 extra slots
4. ???
5. Profit

remilafo

it hasn't happened since launch, so it probably won't ever happen.

too much work, too much re-balance.

If it does ever happen, i want 7 skill 1 ultimate.

DamenAJ

I want 2 less skill slots... But that's me.

Or the ability to have mouse-clickable skills.(Not hot keyed, hover-over, actually seeing what I'm clicking, mouse-clickable skills)

i would be really happy with a addinional slot for toggles. like inner light, bound arnaments, some freaky pet i dont know. everything that needs to be double barred.. i know they would have to do some tweaks on existing skills to be effective in a "toggle slot" but i guess these changes would be far easier to implement than an additional skillslot

bg22

I just want to be able to fit Restoring Focus on my build... but it’s not possible.

1 slot more. That’s it. Please!?

The reason there's the number of skill slots we have access to is due to them wanting ESO to be on consoles.

Consoles use controllers with a finite number of buttons.

I wish it weren't the case but there it is.

Beardimus

As annoying as it is, I think that's the point. Balance.

If we had more we could do too much. There's normally a way to solve it now between pots, slots, poisons and gear. Move your buffs about.

Blutengel

I have a feeling that one day we may just get a whole extra skill bar.

Osteos

Would be nice.

Then how do we have a slot for an ultimate?

Komma

12 skills is more than enough. Some classes have way more good/useful skills than others. With no cool downs there is no need.

... if you get one more, you’ll still have the same problem, “I only need oneee more!”

It’s like a kid who says they’re only gonna take one more cookie from the jar

No! I only “need” 1 more... I want Restoring Focus, and I’ll be set!

Yes, I’ll want more... but I need only 1! Lol

Acrolas

The only place with allotted control space to hold more skills is the quickslot wheel. But it's so cumbersome to maneuver that I wouldn't really see it as a combat enhancement. Just a potion replacement.

I don't see the Ultimate slot being used, either, as it's designed to track accumulated points for that particular skill.

Bash is both triggers. Ultimate is both bumper buttons. Synergy is Y and B.

Eso was designed with the button limitations of a controller in mind. And our controllers are running at about 98% capacity.

TheShadowScout

I can see why they would not add a skill slot due to control system issues perhaps.

But...
...could we maybe get an "automatic" skill slot? For a buff skill that activates on a preset condition, like when entering combat?

Nope, no excuse because of consoles.

FFXIV runs on PlayStation and PC and some of the classes have upwards of 25 buttons in normal combat scenarios yet somehow Square was able to have this work on PlayStation. Also, PC and PS play together so if this were an issue it'd be noticeable.

I wouldn’t mind slotting RAPIDS lol. Just won’t now lol.

Supposedly new console players dont have the skill level we had back in the 90s and cannot press two buttons at the same time. Thats how we got around limited buttons. Or combo buttons for combos.

Explain to me how you're going to "mouse click" skills. You don't have a mouse pointer in this game unless you hit '.' Then you're not moving...

Please see below and tell me how you would fit more abilities here. Literally the only thing missing would be a HOLD Start+Select option...

Y+B = Use Synergy, so why can't X+A (or A+B or X+Y) = new skill slot?


But yeah, That screenshot is the reason I can't game on consoles. WAY too many button combos to remember.

The button with the big X on it should so something!

X+A, and the “Quest Cycle” (R directional pad) can be gone... that’s dumb, and useless.

Who tf just uses that button to cycle through quests with urgency?

So, take your pick... but by those standards it gives us room for 2 more abilities per bar.

I'm on PS4 so I'm not sure but I think that's the power button.

Lol, its bad enough having to bar swap while doing your rotation. Try managing to pull off X+A. The D-pad is seldom used outside of a few options. I doubt my d-pad remembers it exists outside of ESO. Bar Swap, potion off cooldown...

It’s doable. And not hard.

So, why not?

That's the power button for the controller...So yes. It already does something, just not the something you want while gaming.

Sure, but make it pc only since console player buttons are limited

This right here. If FFXIV on PS4 can have UP TO EIGHT 16-button action bars, there's no reason ESO can't either.
