I'm terrible at explaining. Basically, i don't like how bulky it feels to switch between all my equipment, and there are too many variables to consider for me to use Loadouts - especially since i spend pretty much all my time heating my new gear. I'd like to see a slidey-menu-thing like i paid a child to draw for me below.

Hovering over each equipment slot would produce a menu like what is outlined in red, with all items for that slot. Each item icon would show it's stats when hovered over, and clicking would automatically switch to that item. Obviously it would be locked outside of town or arsenal stations. It might need a scrollbar for people with lots of items, and it would be listed by star number (with the 5* gear first), like the inventory.

This would make it quicker to switch to switch between extremely specific loadouts, rather than make one for every new item.

Thoughts? c:

Oh my god yes.

I have never heard such a simple and amazing Idea that I wanted so much.

The only items that show up should be the bounds ones, in my opinion.
Anyway, I'm definitely supporting this.

It's a good suggestion for casual/newbie players.
...and then people who've been ragecrafting before the Battle Sprite update would be like FUUUU---...

When you don't have much in the way of equipment, this would be helpful.
When you have a large array of choices, this is more troublesome than its worth.

One change I'd recommend is you have to click on the slot, not hover over it. Otherwise, it'll likely close itself when trying to move your mouse along a large list.

Regardless, if you have an option available to disable that menu, then I say yes. Otherwise, no.

Only problem I could think

Only problem I could think of, is if you have too much equipment. Other than that, fabulous.
