Actual Poll for Console players: Xbox One NA, Xbox One EU, PS4 NA, or PS4 EU?

Zazaaji

Just wanting to get a baseline as to what the most/least populated servers will be. No other similar topic I've seen takes all 4 servers into account, and well over half don't even have a poll. Please help keep this topic bumped, it needs as many votes as possible for accuracy.

Thank you for intentionally screwing up an important poll for actual console players.

Damn, that's 4 more megaservers. Expenses should be huge. Hopefully, PC community won't suffer if consoles fail.

Seeing the reaction Neverwinter has gotten, and how clean the XBONE UI is looking in beta broadcasts, I actually am saying the opposite: hopefully, the Xbone community won't suffer because half the PC community switched to the growing console market.

I'm really not biased. I just feel that action RPG's like ESO and Neverwinter will be important to finally bridge the gap to the console world. And I'm poor and broke, and decided to spend $500 for an Xbone that's also my entertainment center, than as much or more for a PC that would be just for ESO and pron.

Considering a ton of people always preferred Elder Scrolls games on Consoles, and the PC players always preferred modding the heck out of their game, I'm thinking the sales will be similar to Skyrim.

That stuff is still: It's still a true Elder Scrolls experience for Consoles, and it's still a mod/addon haven for PC.

No idea what you mean, but I agree with you solely for the fact of bumping this thread.

I thought there would only be one server for Xbox One and one server for PS4.

Ps4, no contest.

i predict ps4 will see a higher number. Xbone, or rather microsoft in general, does not have the confidence of gamers lately.

I don't follow the news... is it not a heaping pile for other people? I haven't had a day yet where I didn't crash, and it normally takes two or three tries to get the game to run in the first place. Combat was laggy too. Hoping that wont be a problem for ESO since combat is a bit more precise.

Xbox. Looking forward to what windows 10 may bring to the xbox.

I'm hoping that ESO will be one of the "supported games" for streaming to pc on Windows 10.

Sadly, that's PC neverwinter too. Not limited by any means to Xbox.

But, when your the only option out on that console, and your general gameplay is action oriented and still kinda fun for those who can look past the bugs, you don't have to work too hard.

People who dislike ZOS, in my opinion, never dealt with Cryptic. Or EA. Or Mythic. Or SOE, for that matter. Sometimes perspective can change the whole thing into something else, I guess.

You can blame M$.

Sony was cool with Console and PC playing together.

But M$ was like NOPE, and ZoS caved.

They're adding it in Windows 10. Fable Legends will make huge use of cross platform Xb1 and PC. Never know, Zos might add cross platform a year from now or something.

Tbh I really hope they go the way of Neverwinter, in terms of server type.

Because I have a lot of friends in EU and NA, that would be a real pisser if we all wasn't able to play together.

But I'm sure zos won't care, and we wont be able to enjoy Tamriel together : (

So in order for your poll to be somewhat accurate (although it will still be far from scientific) you need a PC/Mac category.

It's not that Microsoft isn't open to it, it's that Microsoft wants the experience at a higher standard than ZOS was willing to provide. I'm glad they said no but apparently Sony said no too and also no to other items as it was delayed for both consoles

Are ZoS hosting the servers or MS/PSN ? I was under the impression the actual infrastructure and network is the Consoles?

I played Skyrim on console and I liked that, but with ESO the UI is a lot richer so you really need a lot more controls than are available just on a gamepad. I play on PC with Xpadder and a gamepad but I also have the keyboard and mouse anytime those are better choices. Plus, I use a variety of mods to fill gaps in the UI (e.g. Minimap -- what the heck was ZoS thinking to leave that out?!?).

If they come up with a clever way to get around the controls issue I might consider going back to PS (and thus getting a PS4) but not without mods, which are a no-go for Sony.

Damn, if these numbers are at all representative (yeah, I know they're not), then XBone EU server is going to be dead.

Don't you think that their own controller support will be much more useful, than Xpadder or anything like that? They worked on the controller UI for such a long time, so it should give us everything we need.

MS has had a long history of jealously guarding their Live network and requiring Gold membership to do ANYTHING (they only recently opened it up to where you can even use the Xbox Netflix app without paying for Gold). It's one of the many reasons I stopped supporting them this generation (I still own an XboxOne, but only for exclusives).

As such, they have been VERY hostile to MMO's or any other online games that want to offer a separate subscription. While Sony has allowed users to play MMO's like DC Universe Online without requiring PSN+ membership, MS have refused to let anything happen on their network without users paying them their $5/month cut.

I was really hoping this attitude would change with the new CEO, but no movement so far. MS continues to make all the wrong moves with the Xbox. It's pretty telling that this former Xbox fanboy and huge fan of the first Xbox and 360 is now a PS4 supporter.

PSN+ is at least worth the subscription too. The free games they offer each month actually give it some value outside of "You have to pay us this extortion money if you want to play any online games."
