More Skill Slots?

[Lucifer66]

I don't know if it's possible, but I wouild just like 10-12 skill slots instead of the 5 there is in the game.
Yeah maybe I'm greedy or maybe you like it the way it is, but I would like to have it more like other games.
I posted this on the ESO forums and got flamed with naplam and magnesium for even daring to ask for a change. Whatever.

I just would like to have access to a few skills that use magika and a few that use stamina and still have room for other skills, like to fill up my soull gems or beef up my armor with out having to stop and change up my weapons or change my skill slots completely. Is that so bad? I swear some people are so obtuse.

Anyways, can someone make this happen please? Hell I'd do it myself if I knew how. I used to script mIRC and have made skins for vlc, gameboy advance, and some other stuff so I'm not totally cluless.
Here is an image I edited to show what I mean it would sorta look like.

The game mechanics only allow 2x5 skills to be slotted (when you have unlocked the 2nd weapon slot)
Theoretically you can change the 2nd weapon/skill slots while the first is selected, increasing your max slotted skills to any Nx5.
Wykkyds Outfitter does this.

HOWEVER (as far as I know) the slots can't be modified while in combat, so you would have to decide for 2 of the N weapon/skill sets before entering the combat.

The reason you were flamed is because what you're asking for would fundamentally change the WHOLE GAME.

The game was designed, created and balanced around being able to use 5 skills at any given time. Anything that succeeds in doing something like this for ESO would essentially be a hack, exploit, trainer, or whatever the hell else you want to call something bad that ignores the game's rules.

Even if ZOS changed this, it's way more work than simply opening up extra slots. The whole game would have to be completely rebalanced.

So, no, this is not possible, nor should it be.

To answer your question:

Yes. As a matter of fact, it is.

ZeniMax has most likely designed it like this to balance the game so that both PC and Game Console players gets the same possibilities.

Maybe that was one reason, but I hope their intention for this was another one: Having 20+ skills on your 8+ bars covering up half or more of your screen when you normally only use/need about 8 of them is not a good idea.

[Lucifer66]

I'm sorry, but I find a lot of these responses a bit hypocritical. All of these addons change gameplay in one way or another adding more things to the game that were not intended or they would not have been in the game in the first place. You have addons that change the quickbar so that you can press a single button to use the function buttons to use up to 12 different potions with a single click. That is defiantly not something that was intened to be able to happen bercause you are supposed to have to set only 1 potion or item individually in a single slot and you can't very well do that in combat. It's really no different than wanting to have the same quick access to a skill and skills have cool downs the same as potions.

So don't try and pull a moral argument here because it doesn't fly. I didn't ask for 20 or 80 skill slots either, just 10. Wykkyds mod let's you store more than 2 set's of weapons and armor plus skill sets. That goes way beyond the game's intended function so where is your purist justification there? So don't get mad at me for wanting 5 more skill slots when you guys make 100's of these things. If you don't want to make it or don't know how that's one thing, but don't make moral arguments because you have already crossed that line a long time ago.

I don't believe it can't be done either because WoW has the same thing with .lua files and they have added skill slots with those 80 skill slots, as I said before I'm not stupid. Look you only have so much magika and so much stamina to use so it's not like you are going to be able to use unlimited skills anyways, I just want to be able to use ones for certain situations much like your potions quickbar and if you really belive that is somehow cheating that you better take that potions quickbar down.

Maybe you guys should rethink what these addons are intended for. Otherwise maybe you should pull them all down because really they are all cheats because none of them were included in the game to begin with.
I didn't ask you to use an addon like this, like any of these addons if you don't like having more than 5 skills
available then don't use the addon.

You should ask yourself, how is this addon going to give another player an advantage over someone else, the answer - not one bit because they can't use anymore skills in one fight than before. You just wouldn't have the magic or stamina.

Really? that is your argument that you are trying to cater to console players here? You do know they can use a mouse and keyboard on their console too right? They also have controllers with more buttons and auto fire and such. People seeking balance have screwed up so many good games.

[thelegendaryof]

It 's like you're trying really hard to find arguments that make your request valid.
Maybe lay back a bit, then come back here and reread everything?

Even if they would hook up an keyboard - they would still have only 5 skills they can access at once,
and they'll still have to press a button to switch them no matter how many keys they have.

It 's rather the other way around - console players will most probably have no way to use any addons after all.

Did you write them an ticket asking if it would be ok for them or not?

Not sure if anyone has an answer, Im waiting for eso cs ... I have one character, my first I made, that does not have access to the 5 position on the skill bar. This happened a few months ago, since then i have a brand new computer and new download of full game with same problem i had previous.... So in essence if I put a skill in the 5 position on my skill bar I cant use it, no addon no addon UI or other UI, if I take off all addons it doesn't matter, Im just posting here for anyone else's thoughts. I don't want to delete this character.

just curious: did you try it with different skills or a specific one? if specific, which skill?

Can you put a skill on the bar, but just not activate it? If that's the case, did the keybind for that ability slot get deleted? (Controls/Standard Keybinds/Combat/Ability xx)
