Switch Items between characters without relogging

Nestor

What you are asking for is OK, however it would require loading more than one character into memory. Based on things like item duplication glitches and the like, it will probably never happen.

What you should really ask for is a larger bank.

Wait... You're sharing item sets between characters?

You refarm them?

Literally what the transmute system is for... Make the set with the traits that fit that character's class, even if it's the same set a different trait might be better for your other characters? This is literally a non-issue because the transmute system allows you to effortlessly make full sets... surely you're not so starved on your daily random dungeons/pvp/tales of tribute/etc that you can't afford to do that? all 20 of my characters use unique item sets made for them.

I can’t afford to do that. It’s expensive, I don’t like wasting time farming sets, so I have what I need and collection is low.

I wouldn’t want duplicates on multiple characters anyway as it is a waste of slots, also I usually just want to experiment with a build that works on one character with another and perhaps if it’s a really strong set get another.

But this is a lot of effort and very time consuming when we could easily switch the items between the characters.

The bizarre thing about the responses to my post is that people are seemingly arguing against the new feature I am trying to get added, which I find beyond insane as I am literally trying to save myself and everyone else time here. The argument being, I can waste time recreating and farming transmute crystals so why would I want the added option of switching between characters? 🤯

Huh ? It's "beyond insane" that you post an idea in a discussion thread and some people disagree with you ? I think that's slightly unfair to those people, they're not **required** to agree with you.

(Just for the record: I did kind of agree with you, as I suggested we could add a system menu that lets us login to other characters without using the "Log Out" menu item)

I like the banking system gw2 has because it's account bound so any character can use, have access to, take out stuff, and put stuff into the bank. Also there is an option to purchase more bank slots that doubles the size of the bank.

Maybe eso can get something like that

There's no time saved because most people play the game normally... If I need a set on another character I use transmutation crystals or craft it at a crafting station, sharing armor/weapons/etc between characters isn't a normal thing to do.

We have that with the crow pet and the other bankers for 5000 crowns, it's similar to GW2's personal banker (which i also have), exact same really.

Bigger bank space would be nice but it still would have the same load screens switching between characters.

Also for things like collectibles that you have on multiple characters.

I don’t think it’s unfair people disagree with me I think it’s a strange way of thinking, the responses arguing against don’t really make any sense and are basically saying they enjoy the painful actions of switching between characters. It feels like people are just making excuses for a big company, that most definitely has the resources with one of the highest returning player counts of an MMO.

All the players are loyalists and would be nice if we were rewarded with time saving quality of life improvement. Everyone comes back to ESo no need to force us in to wasting our time on pointless load screens and inventory management, I will play anyway, would just be nice to be able to efficiently manage my builds, it’s a common complaint from basically every player I play with.

If I’m testing builds (I don’t have access to pts) this is one of the biggest pains I can have.

I have every assistant and it’s still long. I even have two bankers and merchants because they released the cats after dark elf and red guard banker which I couldn’t refund for the new ones. This is not helping, account wide inventory management system is the best option.

I manage my inventory very efficiently but it’s still painful and makes me give up on builds or just not finish builds completely and *** myself a bit in the process.

I know for a fact I’m not the only one.

Maybe it’s not normal for PC users who have so many addons that improve quality of life. Unfortunately these mods can’t be applied to consoles, therefore we rely on the developers to introduce some for us.

We can’t even mark items as trash for deconstruction or sale.

Basically all players I know do switch these items between characters, this is a normal thing to do, just because you have infinite time and resources to farm and grind gear, possibly even enjoy these mundane and tedious tasks, does not mean it’s “normal” quite the contrary, it’s abnormal to enjoy this.

Al_Ex_Andre

I wanted to send items to my other characters via mailing, when I was new to the game.^^

Not possible, so the only solution was/is the banker.^^

Used to that now (especially with addons helping), at least it won't surcharge servers with mails if anything.

The time you claim is wasted on farming transmute crystals and recreating gear, is time you save trying to swap sets between characters Not to mention, that it would be "a lot of effort and very time consuming" for the Devs to create a system that is not needed since the game gives you options for exactly what you're describing. You just CHOOSE not to use them.

Ishtarknows

It would be great if we could load our other characters as house guests so we could move gear about that way as well as it being nicer to see than than some of the houseguests available.
Happy to relog to play said character, but especially for people with multiple support characters whose 7 tanks don't all carry eg PA (I'm not reconning and golding out the jewellery 6x or spending 700k TV thank you) remembering which one wore it last is a pain and this would really help.

Juju_beans

I did that in other games and this go round...each character has their own set of gear.

And yes, I farmed again. Once you've farmed that other set..that's it..no logging and relogging of multiple characters.
Even monster sets. Once a character gets a set..that's it..no sharing. I have a coffer where I collect/buy and then place in there for my characters.
