so what spells do you want loaded.
I know its immovable batswarm etc.
No way I want to add even more stacked combo potential at the same time.
Sorry the only thing I see with more slots is more exploitation potential.
An I win button basically.

no no no no and no!

Anyways with this much votes on both sides it is more likely to happen than not ha. I meam they propably will think "Well.. Its nothing away from those who dont want it but gives happiness to half of them whic is winwin for subs" ^^

Personally Id prefer they scrap the whole weapon swap idea and just merge abilities and ults together but the problem with that is loosing specific weapon abilities and bonuses so this probably wont work. I say this because I do not think zos will ever fix weapon swapping.

Nah- The more and more the game is adjusted, balanced with with skills not so great being improved upon etc, the more a limited action bar will provide variety of skill sets from player to player. We are forced to choose what fits best with our play style. In some cases class builds pretty much have 1 to 2 of the same skills across the board because they are the obvious best choices but as mentioned skills are being reworked all the time.

If more slots are added to the bars there will be less variety as it allows for ALL or more of the most powerful abilities to be added which and so promoting more cookie cutter builds.

Keep it limited. Improve the skill sets so choice matters more and we'll see more variation in player builds and abilities IMO.

The game has already shown that 5 skill slots leads to build homogenization. With 5 skills you better make sure that you have the essential and nothing else. Some skill for sustain, some skills for damage, some skill or skill combo to get the hell out and some skill that should have been a passive anyway .The essential skills are pretty obvious for each class and if you look around you will see that everybody uses them.One or two more skills slot would only give more room for experimentation with non essential skills. It would make PVP more unpredictable and fun also but I guess people like to see the same pattern over and over again.

NO.

I like the strategic nature of limited hotbars.

I would, however, like a native ability to make weapon load-outs and swap out entire bar set-ups out of combat like we can swap weapons in-combat.

Hell no. That would just bring us closer to WoW-style combat that feels more like typing than anything else. I prefer to focus on things like positioning, timing and strategy instead of repeating some bloated, boring "rotation".

I don't think that having more slots would help anything; considering most ppl agree there are some balancing problems already with the current system, having more skills available to use at one time would likely just further muddy the waters. I would prefer they address the issues already raised that don't quite work before changing what works just fine.

The whole question is moot. It's like asking, would you like to remove all spells.

The combat and slot system is part of the core ESO game.

For those quacking about how 5 slots are all about "strategy" and "thinking", I'd say the essential skills are pretty much in-your-face. There's absolutely no strategy to which skills are useless and which are necessary. And since you don't have room for anything but the necessary, how does that make for diverse builds again?

So far all I've seen are the same builds over and over with no flavor and no unpredictability especially in PvP. A couple extra slots would definitely add MORE diversity rather than less, because you would start seeing skills that are more flavor than necessity and therefore less predictable.

However, I am only for a few extra slots that are permanent and non-changeable through weapon swap. That way we keep all the 5 slot essentials and can have a few passive-like skills that stop unintentionally toggling off, eating up 2 slots and bugging the crap out of everybody such as pets and magelight and what have you.

I vote NO NO NO NO NO.

God i wish people would stop trying to make this game more easy then it already is . The fact that you are limited to a total of 12 abilities is plenty enough.

Firstly, if you don`t use your weapon swap then you need to learn to use it . It`s not hard . About 30 minutes of practice against easy mobs and you`ll be good at it .

Second, having a limited amount of skills available to you during a fight is meant to force you to make choices and assume them. This way you can have 20 people playing the same class in the same zone and none of them will have the same abilities slotted and each one of them will play their character a different way. Making each one of them unique.

The comment above me says that most other MMO`s allow 120 slots . Haha, yeah well the way the system works in this game , you`d need 60 different buttons/keys, assuming that you`d have two bars of 60 slots each.

Plus i`m also tired of seeing people comparing ESO to older MMO`s and saying how other MMO`s did this better and that better.

ESO is ESO, WOW is WOW, LOTRO is LOTRO. yes they are all MMO`s , no they are not the same game. And there is no rule book anywhere that was written by a god that says that all MMO`s should have this or that in common.

This game is fine with 12 abilities period. This desire that people have to feel more powerful and demanding Zenimax to offer them that power instead of figuring out how to build their character on their own is seriously annoying me .

My greatest wish would be for Zenimax to say, this is the game we made , this is the game you get , take it or leave it . But yeah maybe thats just me , no wait , i know thats just me ...

More slots would just make this *** even more unbalanced.

I'd like...just one more. Just the one. Seems like I'm always one slot short.
