I'd like EA to make a feature that allows us to create a favorite kit combination. Then, whenever you enter a new server, your kit already has that combination, allowing you to get right into the game, rather than spend 2-3 minutes accessing menus and dragging stuff to the slots. Of course, keep the current "Saves your last config when you die" so that way if you make changes, it won't reset to your favorites, but then when you leave the server, your favorite combinations are already setup when you go to the next server. Discuss?
I think that would be a great idea (y)
I hate having to re do it every time.

It takes you that long to drag about 4 slots?Elamdri wrote:

I do every kit before I start the game.-[Silver.Inc* wrote:

customize the kit you plan on using then and there. i customize my kits as i want them inbetween lives. it takes a max of about 5 seconds per kit.
Sometimes I do that, but sometimes when its the deal-breaker in whether or not you spawn at a flag to defend it before an enemy caps it, setting up your kits between death can be costly, honestly, I just think it would be a nice feature to have your favorite items already ready go.Ender2309 wrote:

Also, I tend to get bugs, like for some reason, it will swap kits on me in the middle of customization, or items won't drag.
Either allow us to make a favorite combination in the BFHQ or Hotkey the menus. It would be a really nice streamline feature I think.
And yeah, the 2-3 mins is probably an exaggeration.
let me explain a bit more then. when i say between lives i mean it literally. as in, during that fifteen second span. i take no more time than that to make mine go.Elamdri wrote:

I get what you're saying, but you have to admit that it would be nice to have everything set and ready when you first use a kit.Ender2309 wrote:

sure, all i'm saying is that if the time is bugging you right now then just do it differently.Elamdri wrote:

I like the idea. It's a pain in the ass to customize kits all the time, everyone is off the titan by the time I'm done.
"people in ny have a general idea of how to drive. one of the pedals goes forward the other one prevents you from dying"
Its a nice Idea, but knowing the patch team, they would probably take out all the unlocks, then "forget" to put them back in.
It'd be better to just have it so you highlight the items you want rather than fanny about dragging things around.
Like they did for BF2 in the end
That would be a great idea. I hate the beginning of a round when you have 15 seconds to set everything up, only to spawn and not make it to the gunship cause I was making my usual selections. I only use Recon with RDX/APMs and the Zeller rifle anyway.
Even though it doesn't take much to customize, it would be kinda nice to have a 'favourite kit' combo - though it would change as you move up the ranks.

@GotMex: Yeah, hell, anymore I just don't customize, helps to get the gunship faster.
Not a problem for me - I have really low settings so I'm usually the first to load and I have about 30 seconds to customize.

im prophesizing that they wil fix this in a new patch.
Definitely, especially as most will have a prefered loadout for every kit, likeElamdri wrote:

1.) Recon: Lambert Carbine, RDX, APM
2.) Assault: Voss, AR-Rockets, Defib
3.) Engineer: Pilum, Motion Mines, EMP Mines
4.) Support: Shotgun, Sentry drone, EMP grenade
It should be possible to store a "profile" for every kit in your player profile, so you can easily have that loadout chosen by just loading the stored profile. I'd find that especially helpful, as my customization screen keeps switching to support class repeatedly for no reason.

It's badly annoying, yeah.Elamdri wrote:

would be nice but I can equip what I want in the 15 secods before spawning so....
Altho getting revived in the middle of it is

I think 3 presets for each kit would be enough. Next to the weapon pics in the kit select screen, it would say 1, 2 and 3 - like the unlock buttons in BF2. You could even rename the presets.
Yeah i hate when that happens. Although i think it would be rather awesome if i were to spawn with apms, rdx, as support! Doesn't happen that way, though.Elamdri wrote:

I would really like to see them fix up the customization menu too, elamdri.
I just set each kit up when I enter a server, gives you time to look at the map and see what everyones doing and what squad I'd want to join. (You can see what squads are sticking together and what squads are spread out all over the map). That way if I die and need to respawn eng or something it's all set up
However, I would love it if it kept your kits customized.
