REiiGN15✭✭✭No, i won’t play with peoples from other platforms.You can't flip a switch like that on ESO. Too many accounts have the same name on multiple platforms. Accounts, guild names, character names...
It would be better if they released ESO 2 then the fight would be on to claim your name.10 -

But you can just flip the switch. It happens during server merges in games. Even happened in WoW when they merge some low pop servers. Whoever had the name the longest kept it and the other had to change. In this case with the way the consoles work the PC player would have to change probably.

Hateanthem✭✭✭✭ZOS has already stated they have no plans to implement crossplay, so honestly it doesn't matter what any of us think.
I can see issues with the name thing, but other games have already addressed this. WoW for example when they merged servers. Bob from server A would show up as Bob-A. So it would be easy actually.
Bob - XB1/NA
Bob - PS4/NA
Bob - PC/NA
The name thing doesn't seem like an issue to me.
Game performance would be the issue. It wasn't designed with crossplay in mind.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭It's nothing to do with not being willing to play with people from other platforms, there are just plenty of reasons why it's not a good or viable idea - not least the fact that ZOS have said they aren't enabling it. It may not be entirely their decision, of course, they have contracts with the console platform providers which may preclude it, quite apart from the technical considerations and costs associated with it.
From the players' perspective, the inability of console players to use addons makes it hugely impractical and undesirable for both PvP and competitive PvE.
I'm sure it's a great idea for those games that are suitable for it, but this isn't one of them.7 -

✭No, i won’t play with peoples from other platforms.Xbox and PS4 probably won't ever let you use client-side addons like you can with PC. So my answer would be "no" because of all the advantages that PC players would have. Get rid of the addons and I'd say yes, but a lot of PC players would quit if that happened. A bit sad to think about it.0 -

Crossplay makes sense for some games and not for others...I'd be more interested in Xbox to Win10 Play Anywhere-PC (PTS)/Xbox One: NewBlacksmurf

✭Have no interest but no one knows if it’ll be. Thing one day, not even zos. Multiple things they adde or changed that they didn’t plan on adding.
One thing I know is pc and console will never match up until it’s common to have a keyboard for console. And even then probably not because of add ons.0 -

You can say non crossplay wasn't designed in mind either.

I disagree as multiple player interaction is more tied to client/server response which is equally bad for all platforms.
Console's power is no different than a PC user using a mid level gaming PC.
I think the addon advantage is also overrated, I play PC and PS4 and don't rely on addons on either platform.
Both PS4/Xbox are adding keyboard and mouse support if the game developer chooses to use it.
As to player skill PC superiority is a myth, there are good players on all platforms.
The real issue is getting it right, which well I will leave it at that.Edited by TequilaFire on 4 October 2018 19:353 -

Super cool and all but we have no low pop servers. We got six MEGAservers. Pretty sure some ppl are attached to their names. Having to change it would require a lot of convincing from ZOS to stay in the game.1 -

It wouldn't go anywhere, because you would need to send it to Bob - WhateverPlatform.0 -
AtAfternoon✭✭✭Yes, assuming it wouldn't result in developer resources being diverted from anything else in order to implement, so probably no.0 -

✭✭✭Yes, give us crossplay.I'm all for PS4 and XBox being cross-playable. Not so much for including PC. They would womp console players.1 -

ResTandRespeC✭✭✭✭No, i won’t play with peoples from other platforms.Bad poll wording. Id be fine with consoles being able to play together but having pc in the mix would be terrible. Think its bad when people ask what your dps is or they want you to be a specific class for content? Well youd have to get ready for people to start asking what platform your on because console simply can't compete with pc. They have addons and much better game performance. PvP players on console would be SOL.3

magictucktuck✭✭✭✭✭Yes, give us crossplay.I would think the PC crowd might just have an upper-hand in PvP...
When I first moved from Xbox to PC I thought PC players were worse. Although assuming the Xbox players had and elite controller for weapon swap and potions. The only reason I switched from controller to kbm was because add-ons like master merchant and crafting I hated going from controller to kbm for non combat things so idk we have just as many flawless conquerors on every platform. If you're thinking add-ons i don't think any make a difference when it comes to actual combat. Just analisis of it. But even so it would probably have to be a new server where everyone had no add-ons to please people or server / game restrictions. But yeah it would be even except lagg on console1 -
Rain_Greyraven✭✭✭✭✭No, i won’t play with peoples from other platforms.It works for FFXIV, but SE, has very defined behavior rules which gives them a much nicer community. ZoS can't and won't monitor the community, ergo toxic environment, and crossplay would make it worse."Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.”
