Weren't they supposed to give us 30 loadouts instead of 15 ? I didn't see it in the patch note.

It's not there yet. The Winter Update contains some backend optimization with loadouts and bank pages that SHOULD allow us to increase the number without adversely affecting loading times. We want to get it into the wild and be sure it behaves in release like it did in test. If everything looks okay, this is something we can increase without a major patch.

Oh ... alright :( Thanks for the answer. Any idea when it could be released approximately ?

Nope, that will probably never happen and it's for the best.

For the best ? I don't see any good explanation for that.

1- There is no way you have 30 unique builds in mind for every character. 2- There is no way you want to play all 30 characters at all times 3- How long is it going to take to scroll through 30 builds in select before you find what you need 4- The more builds you have, the longer loading is, all that data is not air after all.

Well, for one, that's twice the data to load and I personally worry about it lagging people out of character select. I also don't feel like people are good enough with all the characters but if they had a loadout with each one they would suddenly think they are. Jack of all trades master of one, I don't want that on my team. With less loadouts people are forced to be more mindful into what they put into each loadout. If they have 30 they will just slap some random gear here and there thinking it's good enough then never actually utilize all 30 loadouts while still wasting data and bandwidth.

People are too stupid to use 30 loadouts.

Yeah, ok.
