PVP needs a siege wheel for slotting siege related items

Veinblood1965 · March 11

PVPing has a lot of items that are used regularly, many more than PVP related items. Ballista's, Camps, Lancers, Repair Kits, Immobility pots, Trebuchets, Oils, Port Stones, and so on. We really could use an extra PVP related wheel for PVP specific items. Especially since you cannot re-slot something else when you are in combat and most of the time you stuck in combat.

It was extremely disappointing to see them add gear wheels for various other game activities, but not siege.

Would finally contribute to siege and repair if they add this.
Hey, I'll even set a camp for you.

i do agree about needing a wheel for siege items though ZOS answered a question about this recently:

Q. Why did the Quickslot overhaul not include a dedicated PvP-items (siege) wheel? And might you add one in the future? - peacenote
A. The focus for the Quickslot overhaul was mostly on collectibles at the time since we were adding another quickslottable type (Companions).

In some ways it freed up more space for items on the first page, but we weren't directly focused on items. It wouldn't be off the table to explore in the future, though. We just have to be careful with it as it would be a nightmare if every item category had its own page (to navigate and actually use quickly and efficiently.)

It was a huge disappointment when ZOS implemented the two extra quick slot wheels....and then limited the use of those slots to items that don't need to be quickslotted in the first place.

Sadly, this trend with new features has continued.

Yes please.

Still disappointing that the best we get is "not off the table" and I'm pretty sure they could make it so the siege wheel UI is only usable while inside Cyro, but alas, devs are only given so many resources for QOL.

I hope the siege wheel gets put on the table, there's a lot of innovative tactics and underused siege engines to be explored, such is not currently practical with only 8 slots sharing space with your build consumables.

Personally, I don't relish the thought of getting more quickslot wheels. I never use the additional ones we have now because I find them cumbersome to use without accidentally switching away from the one I actually want to use.

However, what I do think would be a useful change is making all of the quickslot wheels be generic, meaning we can slot whatever we want on them. Having quickslot wheels which are dedicated to specific types of things seems too limiting, as if our Skills backbar were to be exclusively dedicated to only a specific type of skill. Better to have a few all-purpose quickslot wheels than a myriad of specific-purpose quickslot wheels.

Could a "siege wheel" be substituted for the companion wheel when in a pvp area/cyrodiil?

That way it doesn't start a quick wheel bloat problem and it isn't like anything in the companion wheel can be used in there. Most likely would just get the stock "not technically possible with the engine/systems" response but it would be the most logical choice

This would have so many people actually get involved with seiging in cryodil there’s nothing more annoying than going to slot seige and being stuck in combat for the entire bout, despite being out the castle crouched in stealth for 5 minutes watching everyone else perish as I try to slot a camp

Or an actual siege wheel. One time use. Aim it at the door or wall and let 'er rip... or aim it at the enemies stacked up and let 'er rip...

It can spew hot oil or fire or cold fire as it rolls towards its target, then explodes causes massive damage to structures and dismemberment of the enemy teams toons.

Maybe even give it a detonator that you can control so it goes boom when you want it to.
