With cross-platform play now possible - which way do you want to see it unfold?

Options 1 through 3 are assuming merging accounts could be handled somehow.

I want cross-platform play between all platforms, but PvP should remain platform specific.

If you want your point to be valid you won't say mods. Mods are against the rules and you could be banned for them

Just to confirm, we do not have plans to support this new feature. If that changes, though, we'll be sure to let you know.

✭They don't have the tech to execute this. Just because Microsoft announced it (they've been working on this a while) doesn't mean ZOS allocated resources to make it happen.
I highly doubt shard servers can handle three different platforms communicating anyways. They can't even handle one platform.
If it was possible it would make sense to cross server all areas of the game, not segregate.1 -

✭✭✭How is it "possible"? They've clearly stated its not going to happen and its borderline IMPOSSIBLE if anything.
It would require a huge amount of effort and one off agreement with Playstation and Microsoft which realistically isn't going to be happening too.
Lol, I'm sure you'll see a comment or two bashing Zenimax about the potential lag soon too regarding a cross platform idea which isn't even theirs.1 -
flguy147ub17_ESO✭✭✭✭✭Zos needs to focus on making this game the best it can be instead of putting tons of resources in cross platform. I have played both on PC and PS4 and PC gamers would definitely have an advantage due to controls and add ons.1

Lenikus✭✭✭✭✭I'd prefer no cross-platform play with the option to change platforms via an account/character transfers service.Some addons are downright cheating, strategy wise compared to the console's / default UI; If we allow cross platform, the game has to be materially the same in all platforms, wich means PC will have to be downgraded to console level. And even so, the controls would still offer much more versatility and an obvious advantage.
Account transferring/ copying will break the economy, but messin' the economy is fun so it's okay.... Mai cave. >:30 -

✭✭✭I want cross-platform play between all platforms, but PvP should remain platform specific.If it actually was possible, I honestly would like to have everyone play together. But I think in instances where players are playing against each other, it should be on the same terms so that no one has an unfair advantage over another based solely on which platform they are playing the game on.Founder and Co-GM of The Psijic Order Guild (NA)

AdamBourke✭✭✭✭✭I want xbox and playstation cross-platform play, but PC remain separate.I'd be interested in cross-console play. Neither has a distinct advantage in any way, and it would up the amount of people in zones.
I don't think that this would be impossible. I wouldn't be surprised if the server for the XB1 was running almost exactly the same software as the PS4 server. There may be a little stuff for dealing with the PSN/XBL Validation/Stores etc, but the actually game related stuff should be the same.
In which case it would be a matter of just merging the databases. This would be difficult, but not impossible. Usernames could be given namespaces. There can be PS:Username and an XB:Username. Characters with the same name could have their names stripped, and forced to be re-named on startup. whoever gets to their account first gets to keep their name.
But, I don't see it being high on ZoS' list of priorities.
