This is one of my most anticipated changes. While it is a waste of time for you, it is a very welcome quality of life change for many people and most likely doesn't require a large amount of dev resources.

It is a waste of developer time to do it now because, quite frankly, it should have been done years ago. Before launch. It probably cost them more to do it this year than it would have cost to do it back when they originally created the character selection screen. Rework is almost always more expensive, and this is such an obvious feature to have.

It was on the Twitch Bethesda thing Friday, about 30 mins in after PvP changes / destructable bridges etc

If I've broken the seal on this I need more awesomes stat!

Destructable bridges? Woah.

Also happy about rearranging characters.

Yeah the bridges on stream looked ace as they broke up!!

I plan to put them in the following order:

Original 4 classes DPS
NB
Sorc
DK
Templar

Pvp characters

The Healer

Tanks

No mules for me. All finished builds and I am broke

Yes, we should request for an auto random order button so that we don't have to worry about that.

MattT1988

Well whoopty doo.

Neyane

Yay! I really love this. About time!

EvilCroc

Ok, we fought and won weapon dyes.
We fought and won character order change.
Next goal is... HIP FLAPS TOGGLE!

Actually it's one of the things I can't wait the most, I have 10 mules, finaly I will be able to arrange them by the type of stuff they carry without any effort. These are the things I love the most about patches like improved skills reset, nameplates, healthbars etc. these are those little things that make everyone happy, much appreciated @ZOS

"Quality of life" seems to be thrown out whenever someone cant justify real reasoning.

Like I said in my first post, waste of developer time. I will wait for the outrage posts on how someone screwed something up or accidentally deleted a character because of the new system and be reminded that this wasn't broken and didnt need to be fixed.

Rearranging your characters into the exact order you want them to be is a feature which should be in the game since the release. It makes easier to track your actual main, your mules, the toons that needs improving etc. We get it, it's not important to you, but there are always features which are not important for some people and welcomed by others.

next thing on my QOL request list would be batch crafting, espechially for glpyhs / provisioning / potions.

tho my current rage is 99% focused on the lack of HDR on console grrr

Either Mat Firror or Rich Lambert I can't remember which mentioned multicrafting about 2 years ago. I think provisioning may be what is holding it back. Buying cheep ingredients and making them to sell to vendor at a profit is possible. Some people already do this using multicrafting addons to set it and forget it while they go afk. If it could be instant more people would do it and that would bring more inflation into the game. Bringing brand new gold into the game on a grand scale can be a big issue.

wow, didnt know that. But if PC players can do it via Add Ons and its not caused big issues you'd think its ok for consoles but thats interesting to hear a reason!

Mind you they are injecting a free 100K for everyone this month, unsure if thats a good thing for the long run!

It still takes the crafting time, even with addons so it isn't really wide spread. Once that time is removed, all the people with tens of thousands per type of provisioning materials in their craft bags will have no reason not to convert them into fast and easy gold.

I assume(and hope) with the 100k ZOS actually looked at the number of people who log in daily to figure out if it would be an issue with the economy or not. You do need to log in for at least 28 out of the 30 days this month to get it. I have a strong feeling that less than 1% of the player base actually logs in that much.

or change the backgrounds at least. the AD background looks dumb

I'm stoked about it. It is this kind of effort that endears the company to us. It may not get a lot of fireworks and fanfare but that does not mean this sort of effort is unappreciated. I'm also excited about some quality of life discussions they've made about PvP and the bridges and all the rest of it they're doing. If they can deal with some of the weird stutters in Cyrodiil that would be nice.

I agree, I was happy when they added costumes + mounts to the charactor select screen, that was a nice change. expecially as my costume hid a montrous combo underneath.

HDR coming back would be sweet, then i'll really feel they listened.

ThePedge

New-ish player but love messing around with builds and want to create one of everything given the chance. My first char is a really low level magsorc which I kept as I knew I would play it one day and it is noob friendly/easiest for vMA (still haven't done or tried).

Then my next two are both level50, then a few more level 10-30's and my 3rd level 50 which is now my main char. Can't wait to rearrange and have all 3 50's at the top then order my next prospects.

It should waste all of about 20 minutes.

It's an ordered list, and the only thing that changes is the visual implementation of it.

This should absolutely not be difficult to code, at all. It should auto sort based on time played, with last played as the default selected.

They should be adding filtering/hiding and favorites for craft menus next. (Again, something that should have been in game since the beginning.)

Other Merlin - I never trust a forums response about how long coding something should take. Estimates are always wrong and everything is always presumed to be easy peasy, when it isnt. The armchair IT people on this forum often dont have a clue. Furthermore, if there is even a single instance in which this screws someone up by way of an accidental deletion or otherwise, the time spent to clear it up by affected players and staff will far exceed 20 minutes .

If it ain't broke, dont fix it. Like I said, waste of developer time IMO. Resources and time should be focused elsewhere. .

When will it be available?

Sorry that argument works both ways. You don't know that it wasn't an easy job, or part of a wider piece of work you have no clue as to how they staff priorities or the time it took. As for it not being broke many would disagree with you, hence the 1k viewing of this thread and enough comments to see its a saught after thing. Hell they bothered to mention in a live event, shows they level of feedback they have had over it.

The Dev team is sizable, and its unlikely they pinched the guy two lines of code away from fixing lag in Cyrodiil to do this.

Regardless, what's important is very Individual. I don't care that a trial is glitched, to many that's critical. I do care about HDR being broken or AP farming / boosting / alliance switching. I'm sure you care about bugs I couldn't care less about and vice versa.

So, IMHO I disagree. Doing small wins that make people happy DO make a bigger difference than you realise. (in particular if you cant fix the BIG stuff)

The fact there actually is so much hype around this baffles me. It’s like we are poor peasants who only get to eat cockroaches for our meals and ZOS hands out one single moldy breadcrumb and everyone goes crazy. It’s embarassing this is a “feature” that is receiving hype when I still can’t search for a specific motif in the guild store or use a mini-map when traveling to avoid immersion breaking pauses of opening a full page map on console.
