Sidney✭✭✭✭Why was SO much favoritism shown towards the PC players compared to the console players? I mean, you guys cannot dent that it isn't true due to the fact that they received so much. Console players got their versions of ESO delayed while PC players received loyalty items for playing while we could not, PC players received that monkey pet (I forgot the name) for participating in the PC Beta while console players didn't receive anything and we couldn't at least keep our character data, PC players received all those Crowns for each month that they paid to play before ESO went free-to-play AND PC players were able to transfer their PC characters (along with all this rewards) to the consoles.
How is that fair?! The console players even helped the PC players by already paying to play online, which is why ESO went free-to-play!
The console players definitely got the short end on this one...
Uhh... what? I literally cannot believe what I just read.
ZOS and ZOS alone is to blame for console not being ready when PC launched. For the most part, PC players paid for console's development and for all of the bugs and balancing fixes you're now enjoying. You're playing the game on our dime, and a stupid monkey pet doesn't make up for that. [SNIP] It's hilarious because now console players are starting to encounter the same problems that PC players have been complaining about for 9+ months.
Since you seem to live in bizarro-land where rational thought is pure ridiculousness, on behalf of PC players, you're welcome. You're welcome for paying for all of the development you now enjoy on console, minus all of the bugs and imbalances we paid-beta tested for you. Feel free to send us all thank you notes in the mail, or free monkey pets.
SO well said.

Man, as a console player I can honestly say I am glad I have no come across you in game. I can only imagine the whining and complaining you must do, if this is actually a issue for you...
Be glad we got it, and thank the PC players for their time to get it working better for us.

King Bozo✭✭✭While the voice of this thread does not speak for all console players...I would like to add one thing. Add text chat to console will improve most players experience for the good. We all will be able to group for the 4 man dungeons and trials. The game would be more complete with this simple feature and MOST console players would agree.1 -

haukke✭✭I played beta for 8 months and the pc release for 14 months and I now play the console version exclusively. no one here thankfully speaks for me. I have had a blast with the game since pc release and with the larger population on console I am even having more fun. anyone from pc that thinks they "beta tested" this game for console players need to think just how stupid that sounds when you say it out loud. no one forced you to play. I played because I loved the game and still do. the game is great no matter the platform.0 -

✭Favoritism? LOL Yeah okay, so we've been lied to a hundred times, have been put on the back burner for consoles and YES beta tested this game (many of us didn't mind but that's not the point) but yet ZOS has shown PC favoritism? Man, you are one funny dude. Gimme a break man, go play your game and stop tryin to start a war between the two.

Yeah, I read this OP and tbh was shocked it was still up with ZOS even in the thread because it is in no way "constructive".
After consoles, after consoles, after consoles(the ZOS mantra on doing anything).......and who has "favoritism?"
OP- You can have all of my pets, every last one of them. Screenshot this and mail it to ZOS. They are simply junk dragging down server juice and contributing to lag and you are welcome to have them transfer mine to you. I had trashed them but they added them back in the stupid collection tab. Have a
too while we are at it. If options weren't necessary, and everyone played the same way, no one would use addons. Fix the UI!5 -
psicorpb16_ESO✭✭✭While I don't wholeheartedly agree that pc gamers 'beta tested' the game, (nobody held us at gunpoint) we did kinda help along the development while paying quite alot over the last year or so, I myself would guess that it's it the region of £200-£300 and that is not a a small amount for a game. IMO
However I wish that the money we all spent was/is being put to a future that pc and console players can enjoy, ie: text chat (for consoles) and working group functions for all.
But (yes I know you shouldn't start a sentence with 'but'). BUT , we need more content and more importantly an idea what the future holds or even I will give up , and I Love this game.
TLDR. More info pls Devs!!!!!0 -
Curtischoy✭✭I am on Xbox NA server and I am happy that I never had to pay a monthly fee and that tons of bugs have been fixed before it was even released for console. There are still lots of bugs, but there are dramatically fewer.

by bringing up the fact that you beta tested this game for console players means it does bother you. if you feel that way then it is your own fault for playing. I played almost 2 years and never felt I was beta testing except when I was actually beta testing. there is a thread "for pc players only" I don't see the difference between this and that. the fact that most pc players would have liked this game to fail then have it released on console is simply stupid.0 -

The only reason I brought that up was because people in the thread were saying it wasn't. I am not bothered by that fact. I didn't HAVE to play, I wanted to play so therefore I did and I didn't mind the whole 15 bucks a month, so go throw your judgements elsewhere.
And I don't participate in the pc only thread, because I see no reason to 'separate' ourselves in that way. I also don't believe that most pc players wanted the game to fail rather than have it released on console. That's friggin ludicrous. Just didn't appreciate being put on the back burner.
The fact is this thread has no point other than to start crap between the two. It is not constructive in any way whatsoever, absolutely nothing good will come from it, just more bickering.Member of the Old GuardMother of the Byte FamilyVyle Byte||Ivana Byte||Vyible Byte||Hakate Vampler Former EMPRESS BWB||Haan Zolo {Retired} (He swung first)||Lunari ||Wardyn Chalyk Tahno||Dirti Dianah||Bonnie||

UglyTriangle✭✭✭Guess this topic was bound to come up sooner or later.
Hi, scumbag PC-to-console player here who has the monkey and a few other goodies from playing on PC. I originally wanted to play on console, but decided to stick with PC in the meantime since I wanted to play ESO. I'm pretty sure they said those who purchased a particular edition of the game would be able to transfer their characters at a later date when the console version was finally ready to launch. I don't see how it's favoritism. It's the way things panned out and IMHO, it turned out for the better since they had time to tune the game (not that it's perfect yet).Bobo the Cowardly | Warden | Healer/MagDPS

I LOVED paying to beta test this for console. L.O.V.E.D! That's only because I liked what the game was doing......then we got put on hold until they finalized the consoles. I still pay (pretty sure that's a rare thing now) the monthly fee. Though everyday I question why lately. Does it bother me? Not one bit. So you honestly can't say just cuz we (I in this case) brought it up we must be angry/bothered. The only thing I am bothered by is that this company let pc fall to crap to make way for a console version which was botched in some ways (no text chat ROFL). Other than that ZOS has till the end of this year to before I pull the plug on my support.
I say that because I'm sick of being dragged around by their indecisiveness on releasing info, their refusal to ban OBVIOUS exploiters, their laughable moderation on these forums, their complete lack of communication, no new content, but hey don't worry we are making all kinds of crown store items! THAT is why I will eventually pull the plug on my support for the game. Not cuz of console, cuz of ZOS logic....Edited by Gorthax on July 14, 2015 6:19PM5 -

How is that fair?! The console players even helped the PC players by already paying to play online, which is why ESO went free-to-play!
The console players definitely got the short end on this one...
Probably has something to do with PC players doing the beta testing, putting up with the glitches and bugs and crashes, and then when it went live, paying a monthly subscription for 18 months in order to fund your fre-to-play gaming experience. Also, there was no retroactive Crown reward for the year plus I paid to play.
One of the biggest hiccups with the consoles, as I understand, wasn't even related to game play but rather sorting out a billing/server structure which was compatible with Sony and Microsoft."As an online discussion of Tamrielic Lore grows longer, the probability of someone blaming a Dragon Break approaches 1." -- Sheds' Law
