Make this Game Even better! Custom Loadouts & Quick Select

My friends, my colleagues, my neighbors and frandz... I was on my way to hang with Sepiks Prime yesterday. He's a cool guy, a little rotund but he dresses in purple so he kind of reminds me of the Joker a little bit... never a bad thing. Unfortunately getting to his chill spot requires me to go through this little area that is blocked off by a laser grid. Naturally, my handy DinklaGhost is able to hack it... but not without alerting a zillion Hive and Fallen. Now, my usual loadout goes like this: Red Death (Pulse - Kinetic) Final Boss (Sniper - Void) Zombie Apocalypse (Machine Gun - Void) or The Swarm (Machine Gun - Solar) depending on the situation. Now, seeing as this was the 28 Heroic version of The Journey to Sepiks Prime... pretty much every variety of shield imaginable comes into play. So these Captains come out right... with their stupid Arc Shields. They're BAMF-ing everywhere like Nightcrawler in the Oval Office... and I'm noticing none of my weapons are being too effective. Yeah I was downing Noble Shanks, Wizards and Servitors like mad... but these Captains are resisting the crap out of me. So, cursing the Catch-22 that is going into "Pause"/Menu in an always-on game and praying I don't die, I swap weapons around until I bring up my crappy Rare quality Arc weapons I keep on hand just for this... and when I deactivate the menu, my vision is a blurred mess of Stealth Vandals who fill me with more holes than a cheese grater. Another time later in the evening, I was trying to equip Ice Breaker to have some extra Fire Damage against the corresponding shield. It doesn't work after trying a couple of times... I then realized I had forgotten I had Red Death on, so I kept getting the no-no. I had to equip Proxima Centauri to get rid of my Red Death, so I could then equip Ice Breaker. I bring my screen back up and I'm no longer looking at the supplicants I wanted to help my fireteam with... but on a temple in Mars with an Oracle over my head. Apparently Atheon opened a time stream while I was in that menu. I'm being a little melodramatic about it, and we are talking seconds here... but sometimes seconds is the difference between life and death for a Guardian and his or her swashbuckling fireteam. [b]Here's what I would love to see: 1. Ability to define up to 4 "Custom Loadouts" of different weapon combinations. 2. Ability to Quick Select these Custom Loadouts with a button & D-Pad selection combination:[/b] [i]For example, holding the Left Trigger WHILE hitting Left Shoulder Button brings up the Quick Select Loadout Overlay, and the corresponding D-Pad button selects which Loadout on screen is activated.[/i] Many games such as GOW or ME use this sort of thing for specific weapons or abilities, but specific weapon selection wouldn't work since we can only equip 1 Exotic per loadout. Changing the whole loadout would work out nicely. This way, we could still dance, point and wave at our pals! Please bump if you'd like to see something of this nature, or add your ideas and feedback! VL6 Credit FinalVincent21: This mechanic could be integrated when hitting Back/Touchpad for the Ghost Summon menu, thus giving the d-pad a new set of functions while in that screen.
