Why Did They Change Log Out to Quit in the Gamepad UI?

-

I’ve been using the right shoulder button to quickly select ‘Log Out’ for years when I play, but since update 45, they’ve changed it to ‘Quit’. This is frustrating because it’s messing with my muscle memory and now I accidentally close the game instead of just logging out. I really don’t know anyone who uses a gamepad that asked for this change. Can we get ‘Quit’ moved to above ‘Log Out’ so we can keep relogging easily?

I feel you on the muscle memory struggle. It took me a bit to adapt to the new layout, but I think they should have considered moving the options around for better accessibility. ‘Quit’ should be below ‘Log Out’ or have some kind of logical division between them, especially for MMO players who relog often.

QuickSavage -

Exactly! In an MMO like ESO, we’re constantly switching characters, so ‘Log Out’ definitely needs to be prioritized.

Honestly, I’m kind of glad they finally made this change. But I do agree that it would be better if they put ‘Quit’ above ‘Log Out’ to help with the transition. It’s going to be rough relearning how to do things, though.

Yeah, it’s super frustrating! I keep quitting the game instead of just logging out. I’ve done it like three times already today.

There’s actually a cool add-on called QuitSwap that helps with this now. Might make it easier until you get used to the new setup!

Nice, I’ll have to check it out! Sounds like a handy tool for getting back on track.
