Anyway to quickly swap between loadout PC?

[Joe Snow]

Point I'm getting at is how is that even noobish at all. It's just switching loadouts. That's like using different spells in an MMORPG. lol

It's not like using a different spell, it's like switching specs in the middle of combat.

Loadouts can be switched any time in PvE relatively quick. So it is obviously intended that we do that. A hotkey would just make this more convenient and quicker. Because the horrible UI blocks the complete screen I would really like that.

I wouldn't mind having a hotkey(s) to switch between loadouts. As it is now, I just pull up my current loadout and switch to a new gun manually, which takes about as much time (for me) as remembering which loadout I need.

I just use a Rat MMO 7 with macros. I can switch between loadouts with the press of a button.

I'd rather have quick access to 4 weapons during a fight rather than just the 2. Using the loadouts screen is a very clumsy to switch to my other 2 weapons.

If TRION does not mind us switching loadouts mid-fight in PvE (?) then PLEASE give us a hotkey to do it instantly.

If TRION does not want me to do it "instantly" then add in a timed-delay, or activating bar that can be interrupted, or whatever... Just do not require me to go to that Character Loadout Screen! I hate it as it artificially takes my view away from the action.

If this quick-swap in PvP is disabled I do not care. I just want it for PvE ease of use.

No they shouldn't. It would be ridiculously noobish, if when you run out of ammo you can just switch loadouts and get two new guns with full ammunition right in the middle of combat.

Unless they made if that you can't switch loadout while in combat.

I don't think we need more ways to make this game easier. If anything, switching loadout should be disabled in combat. But, since it's already allowed, they can't go back now.

Being given a quick loadout change button would be great, but I don't know if it would work that good. When I manually change loadouts, depending where I am, there is often 3-10 seconds lag. Particularily at an Arkfall.

Since all our info is stored on server, it must be requested every time you want to change.

If Trion were to allow you to save your loadout information on your PC/Console for your playing instance, changing loadout would be almost instantaneous. With no lag.

I like to use very fast fireing weapons and when there's no ammo crate next to the spot I am, I often run out of ammo, forcing me to switch to another loadout... and that takes me 1-2 seconds to do, tops.
It's not hard, not long, just inconvenient.
So if they make it impossible to swap loadout in battle and you find yourself in a "no ammo" situation, you'd just have to run ayway, wait for the mobs to leave you alone and then change weapons... which would be stupid, so why not just give us a key to swap them instead of having us go through the menu?
I mean, I could make a macro but I just can't be asked.

Swapping loadouts in battle isn't cheating, it's tactics:
sometimes you'll want to swap to a specific build with the best perks/weapons/shield/grenade for your current situation. And that's even more true when you have to chain different types of enemies in the same battle.

Plus it's not as if we couldn't do it before, with a hotkey it would just become more convenient (and fun).
Face it: it's not a hard game and allowing us to swap loadouts in a press of a button wouldn't change a thing about it's difficulty.

Um, no...That's like switching SPECS in an MMO. I have to agree. You should chose your loadout wisely BEFORE going into combat!!

That is what the Assassin's Cache and Scavenger perks are for. I use them, both reload perks and overcharge together, and with all the ammo left thanks to Scavenger I still never have to run to an ammo box.
