Gear Loadout Wheel?

I don’t know if anybody pitched this idea yet, but what if for the base game they got rid of the emote wheel and replaced it for a loadout wheel? That way console has the option to quickly switch out gear in trials without taking forever to switch it manually. I don’t know that people would be too hurt by losing the emote wheel, but if they do we could add it to the other quick slot wheel and add four more slots.

    Some just might be more interested in an emote wheel. Just saying.

    Not knowing the limitations of offering such a think to console, but speaking from a PC perspective, this is something that should be part of the base UI. We have had addons available for this for a long time and I have used them heavily. With how well they server us Zos should add it. It seems to be a no brainer but Zos seems reluctant to offering such utility to their UI.

    Emote wheel? Is this a thing?

    I assume you don't mean the quickslot wheel for pots and sieges, since you call it the 'other quickslot wheel'.

    It’s a separate quick slot wheel just for emotes. It’s is in the game right now. I don’t know what key it is on pc but on Xbox it’s right on the d pad. They should just combine emote wheel with the quick slot and replace the emote one with loadouts

    Yes please, limiting the number of addons would go a long way(Would be able to do away with dressing room).

    I’m pretty sure they don’t want to implement it into the base game because they can’t figure out how to put it on console. But the current emote wheel is kinda lame and I’d rather have something useful. If people are attached to the emote wheel then they should just combine it with the quick slot for pots and add more options

    Thanks, I didn't know there is an emote wheel.

    But for a loadout wheel the emote wheel doesn't have to be removed. Options for loadouts can simply be added to it of ZOS puts time into it. Obviously it would spare every player without add-ons for it some time so it's a good idea.

    Emote wheel provides literally hours of light relief and enjoyment during the down time, which there is a lot of in ESO, waiting for queues, waiting for spawns - wb, dolments etc, waiting for groups to form - trials, dungeons, hanging around at the undaunted enclaves etc etc.

    BUT, we do need the ability to quickly and efficiently change load out. This seems long over due. I am sure there is a method to implement this without removing the emote wheel.

    I don’t run on console, but I assume there’s a button to bring up some form of the main menu in the game. ZOS could just add a category for loadouts to that menu.

    I’m not saying get rid of the option for emotes to be quick slotted. Just to make an option for gear loadouts. That’s why I’m saying that you could make it an options on the other quick slot wheel. I’d rather have one emote on the same wheel as my mementos with a separate wheel for gear

    Yes, please. Take our pain away.

    Once again, @ZOS_RichLambert make this happen, please.

    But then you have to pause the game and scroll to it just, select the option for gear loadouts, and then select the loadout. That’s almost just as much time and effort to swap it manually. I’d rather push a button and move a stick than waste all that time in the menus. I haven’t used dressing room on my pc account yet, but isn’t all you have to do is press a button and all your gear is swapped? Yea, I’d like that quality of life on my Xbox

    And while they are at it, make it load skills and cp in the same button so you just have to do one click to fully change your build. This should be base game for all platforms.

    Do consoles have some sort of keyboard support? If ZOS played to that, I would think all sorts of quick key functionality could be added to the base game without necessarily messing with the default gamepad functions.

    I’ve seen an adapter for Xbox, but I don’t know if it will play for games (I don’t see why it wouldn’t). It’s just expensive, and if console players had the money for it then they’d be pc players.
