Should ESO be Cross Platform?

Daemon55

With Fortnite being able to be played cross platform now do you think ESO should be as well?

HappyLittleTree

Maybe

I'd love to have a combined server with XBOX-PS4 but i don't see it happening anytime in the future

Zaketh

No

No

PC players would have the advantage of being able to use addons

Browiseth

Yes

only if they add the fortnite default dance to eso

but yeah, i'm all for it. never liked the playerbase being split into chunks like it was before 1T

Cardthief

No

As nice as it would seem, the fact is that consoles do not have access to addons as us PC players do, which may be an unfair advantage against them. We have addons that notify us about combat, automatically repair our gear (with kits) and recharge our weapons (with gems) mid combat, give us map locations and minimaps, auto-craft writs, savable and keybindable set/skill swaps (Alpha Gear), etc.

As of now PC players have a lot more tools at their disposal, maybe one day when consoles have access to the addons as we do, but until then its best to keep them separate.

Yes

Yes, I'd love that. The more the merrier. I'd play my PC account on the PS4 in my bedroom while I lay in bed

No

Maybe XBOX and PS4 cross but not PC.

Nestor

No

As much as I would love to play with all players in the game, PC does hold advantages that console players do not have access to.

shootatme80

No

With all of the pc addons, console players wouldn't stand a chance. I don't think we need any more variables taxing an already buggy game.

Watchdog

No

The so common lowest common denominator method would mean the end of add-ons for PC users.

No, thanks.

Jthomas56

Maybe

This poll is showing us that PC players are allowed to use performance enhancing drugs (addons).

Xbox and PS4 cross play would be fun.

ArenGesus

Yes

Yes, if it would allow me to share the same account across multiple platforms. Maybe addons would need to be disabled in pvp to keep the playing field even (or even better, allow addons for console). But I'm less concerned with how my performance stacks up against other players (except in pvp) than I am with having the freedom to play on multiple platforms myself. Would definitely play both xbox and pc, if I could have a shared account.

Defilted

No

Console to console, Yes

Console to PC, No. There is no way to compete with cheat-ons.

Odovacar

Maybe

If performance could be managed well, hell yeah! I would love the play with XB1 folks.

red_emu

No

PC and Console? Absolutely no. Forums would get spammed with threads like 'Disable Add-Ons!', 'PC cheaters!', 'PC has advantage and me ded long time!' etc... etc... and knowing ZOS, the response would be to disable Add-Ons on PC instead of implementing them to console (easier, faster, cheaper solution).

Shadow_Akula

No

Too much Cyrolag...
And too much lag in popular cities as it is

kind of sounds like a lot of PC players should come to consoles for a 6 week bootcamp, lol.

GimpyPorcupine

Cross-platform for XB/PS4 only; PC can't join unless all add-ons are disabled.

Yes

why would I want to make my play experience worse?
honestly, add ons aren't even that big of a deal anymore. they're still really nice, but zos has slowly (emphasis on slowly) been making some of the most popular addons over the years as part of the default UI

StormeReigns

No

Not only add-ons, but the complaint about PC having keyboard and mouse would be there as well which would be seen as another advantage over consoles.

Plus probably a whole other list of things that haven't been thought up yet.

Kiralyn2000

No

There's already enough server load as it is.

Addons.

Differences in economy.

Etc.

Just making a joke..and yeah why come to consoles and have to pay more attention to detail. If I could play ESO on PC I would choose PC for obvious reasons...but until then I can still poke fun at our PC brothers and sisters, lol. Remember we're just peasants ya know...

Edaphon

No

Lag and pestilence? No thanks!

1) As a veteran player on Console and PC i can tell you that Keyboard and Mouse have literally no advantage over controller. I play mainly PvP on PC woth DS4 controller as good as any other PvPer with Keyboard and mouse.
2) You know Consoles support Keyboard and mouse as well ?

I very much agree with you, and it is a moot argument. But IT IS a complaint that would arise. It has in the past on other cross platforms, and will till the end of times.

Why? Cause human nature; competitive nature, and something has to be blamed. No matter how sound and accurate your evidence is to the argument. It can even be fool/idiot proof.

It will happen, to the point of near rabid reactions.

cheifsoap

No

No. Not until you can mod on consoles

ghastley

No

Even just Xbox with PS would get complaints that the game favours one or the other. Everyone having the same client makes the game more equitable.

Cavedog

No

...they should even have separate forums for each platform.

Starlock

No

No, I'd rather the bigoted, patronizing garbage that non-console players spew out stay away from the greater console community, thanks.

Zacuel

No

Pc cannot play without their add-ons.

Mettaricana

Yes

Ps4 and xbox should be similar layouts and no addons cross em skip pc leave as is
