Should we have fewer ability slots?

Who agrees that 2 bars of 5 abilities plus ultimate slots is too many? Maybe ZOS should remove the special slots for ultimates? Share your thoughts, discuss.

Karamis_Vimardon✭✭✭✭@Arninator , never have I heard anyone stating that they have too many skill slots , quite the opposite. Too many skills to choose from with the limited ability bar? Yes. I find the current setup to be in a Goldilocks zone for me, just enough for some diversity without having a legion of buttons to press.

Probitas✭✭✭Funny post. We only get 5 plus they Ultimate. I'd like to see more, but I think some console/gamepad players would complain when the keyboarders start tearing them up, when they get around to releasing that.Edited by Probitas on September 17, 2014 2:51AM0

Console versions will have their own server.
I suppose you could always use a keyboard w/ your Xbox / PS4, though.
In which case, it's still a moot point. : P0 -
Probitas✭✭✭If that's true, why did we get stuck with lame console skill set up? Give us more options, our keyboards are wasting away.2

madangrypally✭✭✭✭Should have 3 abilities slotted only. Right and left click which depends on weapon equipped and middle scroll wheel click for special move.
So if using a 1h and shield then the right click would be a 1h ability and the left click be a shield ability. If using a 2h weapon then right and left click will be from the 2h tree. No weapon equipped means the player can bind a class ability to both right and left click.
BTW no im not serious. I am happy with the current setup. If they ever add anything I would want a 6 slot that is for toggle ability only that has to be the same on both bars.1 -

I understand that not all console games are limited in skills, but clearly some developers are doing this intentionally. I think it's fine if they want to make a console game easier for those players with limited controllers. The PC should be fully utilized.
I'm thinking the reason why we don't see one version for PC and one for console is due to the reasoning that if the PC version has a better gaming experience it would interfere with potential sales for consoles and their games, so is not done. God forbid a PC game works better than a console (which they do for the most part already). I could live with having more combat abilities in a PC game than in a console version. I'm sure others would wail and gnash their teeth.

They did it because it is action and resource based and not on global cool down. If it was on global cool down and tab targeting it would have the normal amount of skills. It literally had nothing to do with consoles. At all.

Probitas✭✭✭Then why in other games with action and also mana pools and stamina pools did they have more skills? What you just said makes no sense. This game also has targeting, don't fool yourself. If you don't line that target box up nothing happens. As well, this game has cd, you just don't see it on the skill bar. I can't spam skills because it takes time and I have to wait for visuals to stop.
I can't think of any reason to limit skills except to make their job easier for dealing with PVP and balance so they only had a small range of skill sets to deal with.Edited by Probitas on September 17, 2014 4:27AM1 -

Should we make ESO like all the games you've played? Should we have auction house? Should ESO have bubbles for chat? Should we discuss the same things over and over again?0

Never heard if meridian or fury. Never played gw1 and gw2 was on a cool down and wasn't really action based like this one.0 -
