Why not make it to where we can change weapons and subclasses with the D pad? Use the up button for changing primaries, left for specials, right for heavies, and down for subclasses. that way we don't have to waste time with the gear menu. Press whatever direction button until the weapon you want is equipped. Make it optional so people don't miss out on dancing.
Anybody else think this is a decent idea?
Edit1: it could be made to where holding a direction for half a second would still let you dance and point. But just tapping a direction changes weapons and such.
Edit2: a lot of people are suggesting hot keys. Which might be an even better idea. Hot keys for certain weapon loadouts or even heavy ammo synths.
Edit3: Another suggestion is making the D pad mappable. that way you could select which function you want each button to have. That way you can still dance if you want to.
Edit4: if you're overly sensitive about things that are "racist towards white people" then don't read edit5. I am white by the way.
Edit5: it seems like a lot of teenage white kidd don't want their dancing disrupted. they think listening to Justin Timberlake and stealing their guardians dance moves will cure their two left feet.
Edit6: Another great idea has been mentioned a few times. holding a direction on the D pad makes a " weapon wheel pop up. Then you would use the right joy stick to select the weapon or synth that you want to use. either have one button pop up all the weapons with each gun type in a certain spot on the wheel. or have each button pop up a different wheel for primaries/ specials etc.

Id like a ton more emotes and to allow us to program 4 to the d-pad. More interaction
-
dancing is much more important
-
All I want is a button for my guardian to give the middle finger to someone
-
I use it to do tricks on my sparrow

your mom made my D-pad useful! [spoiler]#iroldurdan9[/spoiler]

I posted this back in January and it got ignored. https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/90687524/0/0/1

Your original idea is pretty good, but how about it only switch's between the top row of weapons instead? Switching around through the full 10 would be a pain.
-
How is dancing and pointing not useful? Op is a fgt
-
How about complete custom loadouts you can Program and select with the d pad? You see this all the time in raids. People will change armour and weapons for a certain task. If you could have custom loadouts that would change everything at once it would be awesome without having to hide and go into the menu. It would be great for pve and PvP.

Its ALREADY useful. Another guy to mute.
-
Waste of time imo. How long does it take to switch things around. 15-45 secs maybe. Why do we need hot keys to save that little amount of time?

This made me think...why can't we choose to have whatever we want in our weapon slots...Borderlands not only has 4 weapon slots but you can have whatever you want in there, 4 rockets, yup, 4 snipers, yup, 2 snipers 2 rockets, of course, not to mention you can have as many of the highest tier weapons equipped as you want...just something I thought about.

[quote] That way you can still dance if you want to. [/quote] But you can leave your mlg friends behind Because your mlg friends don't dance and if they don't dance well they're no friends of mine

Dancing is useful. You use it to show emotion. Whenever I'm playing a different game I always go to dance and end up swapping weapons or pull out some equipment XD
-
Waving, pointing, sitting down & dancing are WAY more important than anything yu just said

Edited by Wolf Dog 359: 3/31/2015 4:28:34 PMPress "Y" for weapon swap Primary to Secondary, or hold "Y" for weapon swap (choose what is available) Leave the "D" pad alone, I can not cope with out wave, point or dance, and for AFC moments, sit. And one more thing, we as the player should decide what is a Primary and what is a Secondary. Forgot to add, this is for the Xbox 360

Replace point with slow clap
-
I need to find my glasses. I thought that said "Make the D useful"
-
No, because I can't dance in real life and this game makes me feel alive when I dance.
-
The directional pad is currently useful.
-
Are you current gen or last gen?
-
I use the d pad all the time, how else would you dance. :)
-
Problem is you are punished for being flexible when you swap weapons by losing ammo for that weapon type. So you can swap until the weapon you want comes up, but you won't have any ammo for it.

Why not make use of the touchpad on a ps4 control?
-
I disagree about quick weapon switching, at least for pvp. And imagine the requirements for pve... "lf2m heroic story mission lvl 24, must be lvl 32 with red death, gjallarhorn, felwinters void, thunderlord, mida and icebreaker".
-
It's already useful who doesn't like to dance. Sit, point and wave?
