how is the release of windows 10 going to effect console play, primarily xbox one? the pc cross over of players to console who had over a year to develop their characters and use of mods have made this game almost impossible to play. is windows 10 going to yet again give a distinct and brutal disadvantage to xbox users?

✭✭✭✭✭The functionality of the windows operating system is completely different from playing the game on the PC server or console servers.
Zenimax has not made any changes to how we access a server.
WIndows 10 is only allowing control and viewing on a game in some instances...there are developers that are opening unreleased games up to cross-platform play but I've not seen or heard those changes here.
Maybe I'm misinformed tho...what sources are you looking at?-PC (PTS)/Xbox One: NewBlacksmurf

Cross-platform multiplayer
Thanks to Windows 10 integration, it will be possible for developers to make games with cross-platform multiplayer, so Xbox One players will be able to take on PC players. This has been available in a few titles in the past, but without major system-level support it’s been a minor feature. That could all change. Micrsoft has named a range of titles including Fable: Legends and free-to-play battle arena game Gigantic that will support this feature. Players will also be able to save their game progress between different machines, so you could play a game all day on your PC, then pick up where you left off on the Xbox One.

thanks...so in short Zenimax would need to redesign TESO:TU to support this.

Cross platform multiplayer probably won't be a thing still. ESO has separate servers for PC and XBone, at most they could allow PC users to access the XBone server, but that wouldn't work too well either since PC users are on a different version of the game, they'd have to either download an XBone version of it emulated to work on PC or allow PC users to play with people who are used to different functionality and play-style.5 -
dlepi24✭✭✭✭Just because Windows 10 offers the chance of cross-platform multiplayer doesn't mean every game will have it. The game has to be designed for it and it has to be a feature the designers purposefully put into the game.6 -

I agree, but eso already built in a way to transfer pc characters to the console platform, I am sure with new upcoming dlc its only a matter of time that eso version 2.1 will be cross platform

✭✭How would xbox players be effected by Windows 10?
as it stands now when eso launched the game for xbox those players on pc were able to transfer their characters to xbox. this is why on day one of the release you saw level 14 veterans. with the transfer came the mods that console players have no access to
I get that but how does Windows 10 effect anything?
I don't know, that's why I asked the question. Microsoft is treating this new version like the 2nd coming of Christ. and as stated in a post above it is billed as being cross platform. my concern is pc players have an advantage over console players with use of mods. if the two systems are integrated the console players might as well turn off their machines, it will become impossible to play with the amount of pc mods available
Windows 10 has a better performance than the versions before.
An example is the new API DX 12, combined with the WDDM 2.0 / better multithreading, and some other goodies that will help our systems to work much closer to their intended potential.
Also the browser is much better than the old IE, more support for various file types and faster boot mechanisms.
For ESO to profit from all of this, a patch must be released first.5

It might be billed as cross platform but I don't see anyone from ZOS or Microsoft for that matter saying it will be implemented to ESO. So wait and see I guess..Edited by Mitchblue on July 30, 2015 3:23AMAnyone else rooting for Molag Bal?0 -

What does this even mean?
If you've never played ESO on PC, I could see where you don't know what's available. But you can't mod the game the way you would with Skyrim or other single player titles. You can modify the UI to provide additional information, such as buff status or actual health pool values. And, none of that can be transfered over to the XB1. But you can't mod in god tier items, or break the game that way. Anything a player from the PC days has on the consoles can be obtained on those consoles with the exception of the loyalty rewards, which are strictly cosmetic anyway.Edited by starkerealm on July 30, 2015 1:58PM0 -

I heard the joke the day Win 10 was announced, when people were asking why there is no 9.
One has to have a sense of humor in order to be here Of course it was a joke.
I was just referring to the Windows every other version trend that has happened since Win 3.
