Making it Easier (Destiny)

Currently I:

go into menu

navigate to options and select change

wait for a character choice screen to load

select character

wait for spaceship

select destination (probably where I already was)

travel back to where I was
How about having a dropdown on the settings tab. I pick character directly and skip a selection screen and all it's loading baggage.

How about if I'm in the Tower or in orbit then I just switch. I understand that there is a lot of work going on behind the scenes but, as a user, I don't care. To me, if I was in the Tower, it would be just like changing a shader.

Is all that messing around with choice screens and destination picking and traveling there to hide the time it takes to load data for an inactive character? If so I'd rather spend that time doing something other than performing, unnecessary UI work. I could have a wee or get a drink - real world stuff - read a post here.

Given the current state of play with switching characters (the need to put stuff in vault), I am already in the place I need to be to pick that stuff up.

I still like the idea of a personal barracks in the Tower where my alt characters live as NPCs. I could go there and inhabit the character I want to be. There would probably have to be another purpose for the barracks to justify it for all players. I'd like to know the percentage of players have different characters.
