We need instant build swap on console.

Really, this functionality should be in the base game. For example, right now I'm farming ICP and WGT for gear, but I'd also like to go farm for key frags in the sewers while I wait. I shouldn't have to manually switch my build back and forth between PvP and PvE when my queue pops. It's unreasonable to ask the people I've queue'd with to wait for me to switch my build every time.
This is only one situation where instant build swapping would be advantageous for console users.

It could even be attached to the already existing outfit system for (perhaps) easier integration within the current UI design. You could do all the fiddling with your build outside of an outfit station, save an outfit, and the UI could ask if you wanted the outfit to change your build automatically to what you have currently set up when you swap to that outfit slot. It could act as a pretty good gold sink, too, since I think people would be willing to shell out the 3000 gold to swap champion point setups a lot more often than they do currently.

Please, I get that consoles and gamepad UI are your redheaded stepchildren (or at least we certainly feel like we are), but give us this. It's such an important feature in a game with so many different activities that require so many builds to most effectively participate in.

    TBH this is more on Microsoft/Sony end of things.

    Not sure why XBOX has mods on skyrim and stuff but not enabled on ESO.

    But PS4 good luck they seem to hate modding/crossplay so everyone suffers, yet everyone wants to run out and buy a PS5 lol go figure.

    If you ask for it, at least let all of us have it.. Pc players would love such an option in the game, as much as you.. Not all of us run add-ons for everything

    God no on add ons. Please no.

    But just make it base game. Done. Agreed a fast swap would be ace, I'd happily pay 5k crowns to have a tailor in house or as an assistant or similar

    This would be really nice. DCUO is a much smaller MMO and it had this option years ago. You'd make build, save it in a display case in your lair and then you can swap between those saved builds even when not at home. Ideally if they do something similar here it would swap gear, skills and CP.

    Hell yes, it would be nice for there to be something in the crown store that I actually want to buy.

    Yes, this always strikes me as odd.
    It is the IRL equivalent of someone boarding a public bus or tram and then complaining that they can't choose an arbitrary travel destination while they are already riding it.

    Having said that, the basegame UI is abysmal in terms of its functionality - or, rather, lack thereof - and even on PC, using addons does not solve all of such problems, merely most of them.

    This is what I mean - it should be part of the base game.

    They only allow mods that include assets already in those games, you won't find Dogmeat as a cat on Fallout 4 ps4.

    AS FOR SKYRIM:
    Enderal is free and can be played by anyone owning a legal copy of TES V: Skyrim. (No DLCs are necessary.) It is developed non-commercially by SureAI, the team behind the renowned Oblivion mod "Nehrim: At Fate´s Edge" (and various other projects).

    Features:

    An open world with its own lore and hand-crafted, detailed and diverse landscapes (desert, heathlands, forests, jungles, mountains and more)

    An unconventional story with psychological and philosophical undercurrents

    German and English localizations, both fully voiced by dozens of speakers, many with a professional background

    Multi-faceted, believable characters with own ambitions and motivations

    Overhauled gameplay with experience points, survival mechanics and hard, challenging combat

    An overhauled skill system with classes and new special abilities

    A housing system allowing the player to design their own homes

    30 to 100 hours of expected playtime


    Added in Forgotten Stories:

    Two "crafting classes" that utilize alchemy and enchanting for combat – use potions to shapeshift into a werewolf as the Lycantrope, use enchanting to craft spirit companions as the Phasmalist

    Improved performance and stability for a smooth experience

    Twelve new sidequests and two non-linear guild questlines: Work your way up the Golden Sickle, Enderal's merchants guild and infiltrate the ranks of the Rhalâta, the enigmatic cult ruling the Undercity

    Reworked and improved crafting, spells, and much more

    Blame ZOS for making excuse (they don't want clutterness on UI is load of BS, Just give option to enable it or disable it and not rely on 3rd party Add-on) not to build their own native QOL Gear Set swapping templates like dressing room and other UI QOL.

    I'd love character loadouts. I wouldn't even care if it was done like the outfit system - one free loadout per character, another has to be purchased with a token. Any changes cost gold or another token. And IMO it should be either done in the character menu (a separate sheet like CP) or else added to say the outfit station.

    Please ZOS!

    A load out/mannequin system would be awesome. Right now my thief/sneak kit is stored in a crate. I've got PVP gear on most times. Id pay to quick swap. Keep the same dynamic no hot swap in combat... Fine. But can't carry all this gear around on me to deal with multi situational stuff.

    PC doesn't even have this by default, major oversight, at least we can use addons tho.
    Imagine designing a game around a ton of different sets and builds but having no template system, kek.

    No, its not a feature that should be charged for. GW2 failed massively doing that, no one is happy with the build system and its so convoluted and confusing thx to charging MULTIPLE aspects of it from build slots to gear storage etc which is exactly what you are promoting.

    Its an extremely scummy design in GW2 but at least it makes sense being a B2P game with no sub fee option. Even though GW1 had it for free.. ESO would be even scummier with that, its not acceptable. It needs to be free and templates should be saved to your PC, screw that unlocking slots bs. I'm so tired of people bending over for that disgusting implementation of systems that we had free in older games that made so much less money from microtrans if they even had them.
