Feature request - boost loadouts

JRYUART

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but was hoping the devs might consider a boost loadout, similar to saved teams, where you can save certain boost combinations (+ap/+dmg) where it will auto purchase and max out at the user’s prompting.  I find myself unnecessarily fumbling around with the boosts the way they are currently implemented in the heat of pve and it’d be nice to just hit a drop down and choose from your designated presets. 

A good place to consider is where you click on the team up & boosts menu and then there are two tabs now -  team ups / boosts.  Perhaps a third tab can be added called “presets” where you can manage your loadouts there.  Thanks

I´m all for making gameplay faster and more efficient. Here are a few other improvements I´d love to see:

1. Like consumables in any RPG, allow us to stack boosts up to 99

2. Let us purchase boosts in any amount and whenever we want. So many precious seconds in PVE are wasted topping up boosts in my inventory.

3. Streamline battle notifications into one banner. We don´t need to see three separate banners announcing what booosts have been applied. Just chuck everything into one notification window on the bottom right of the screen or something and let us start playing immediately.

4. Fix that annoying feature (bug?) where removed boosts are automatically equipped in the next battle. This always seems to happen when I run out of a certain boosts and receive a set for a reward. The game thinks I want to use it and re-equips it in the following battle. This wouldn´t be much of an issue if we were allowed to stock up to 99.

5. This is unrelated to boosts but since we´re on the subject of efficiency I´m gonna throw it in. If a chain of cascades kills all enemies, just end the battle immediately. I don´t need to sit there watching the game make 3 to 5 continous matches on a dead team. Ain´t nobody got time for that.

There are implications here that relate to milestones. It's possible they don't want to do this because it'll make the boost milestone grind too easy.

The only implications here are my hot dog fingers not being nimble enough to accurately select the correct slot(s), buy/confirm/apply said boosts every time and slowing down my pve .  Why is there such a low threshold on boost inventory at all?  Does anyone actually only need specifically 10% or 30% more power ?  My boost milestone is currently around 58k/100k so it’s gonna be a long time regardless.

You're going to have a difficult time convincing others that the current setup is prohibitive when you've used 58,000 of them successfully. Seems like you're doing fine.

It’s not prohibitive, it’s designed in a way that is not as user friendly as it could be.  Hence the suggestion.  Another Cable cover isn’t going to be the impetus for anyone playing in my tier to ask for a QoL change that everyone could benefit from.  What is the purpose of forcing an additional 18+ taps between pve nodes just to add boosts when they could streamline it? Tbh, benefitting the milestone quest didn’t even occur to me until you brought it up.

People have been asking for this change for at least as long as I've been playing (Day 2203). They set it up this way for a reason. I would guess the reason is to put the player on yet another screen where they can spend HP, but I'm guessing. I wouldn't hold your breath.

It certainly is an idea I would be behind.  

Maybe one day we can have more than 6 team slots too. Because with over 100 4s and over 20 usable 5s, that's a lot of potential teams you could save.

Yes, please, this exactly. Why do I need to choose this every time and yet I don't have to choose the team every time? If I set boosts, make them at least auto-fill if I cannot stack them to a reasonable number (like 50 would be fine). Might add an option just like there's an option to skip the animations...

Please fix the ability to add boosts. It was always much easier, now it is an awful pain.
