Hotkeys/Gear Load Outs

A lot of people, myself included, get very frustrated trying to use a synth, or switch around exotics to heal from orbs in CE, Atheon, etc. What if they just bound hot keys for when we pulled our ghost out? Currently unless I am forgetting something, only a few buttons are used when your ghost is out. Summon sparrow, got to orbit, and chat channels. So why can't extra buttons be bound for hotkeys like ammo synth, or pre made gear load outs to swap on the fly? Thoughts anyone?

    Yeah the Ghost should function as a shift key for key mapping. My ghost should do so much more: Manage factions Manage breakdowns Be a companion with hints (little phrases like,"not like that.") Play music Open doors... haha Oh and PS, please add in an Easter egg for shooting a ghost!

  • It's been suggested before and every time I see it I comment on it. They're have been plenty of times when I've been shot while loading the menu and then waiting for the menu to populate my inventory to select ammunition. It's a great idea to have the directional keypad to act as hot keys. Good idea.

    • This is an important UI development sorely needed. It gets around the gawd-awful honey-drip slow Inventory screens having to draw while, well, _anything_ is going on - even in the Tower. I don't know if it's just my 360, but swapping gear is annoying enough under fire and simply murderous to try in Crucible.

      • I highly suggest putting this thread in Feedback (I might do it if you don't). This is the kind if idea you'll want the developers to see and that's the place they'll see it. I like the idea of syntheses and consumables (perhaps automatically changing with the planet you're on, so when on Earth you could select between Seeds and Wax while on Mars you could select between Codes and Poly), but not loadouts. That could easily be exploitable.

        • You're saying what the whole community is saying. One step further, the d pad should be used for hot keys outside of ghost menu. But in order to do that they may have to take the crew off the purple tower ball project.

          • the menu takes like over 30 seconds to load sometimes like that's far too long in a game where I'm vulnerable when I'm in my menu. make a special synth or heavy synth assigned to left and right bumper when the ghost is up as for whole gear loadout Hotkeys, I'm not as sure that ones not as important to me haha
