Once Microsoft and Sony agree on the terms to allow xbox and PlayStation players to play together would you like to see ESO cross playable?

    Well, I can see them doing ps4/xbox one merge but not merging with us pc players!
    Thats the last thing we need, basically because consoles are limited they can't have addons and I think it would work well for them to merge the consoles.
    Not so well to merge all three together, we pc players have benefits console players can't have =(

    consoles would be at a disadvantage. With all the combination of hot keys on pc they can react faster to just about everything vs console players. plus the add ons on pc are much better.

    You can do what you like with consoles but leave PC out of it.
    Likely result would be taking away our add ons that actually make the game user friendly, plus there would be communication issues.
    No thanks.

    I can't do without my lorebooks and skyshards addon, they are very useful for me lol.
    Well I could do without but thing is, hopefully one day consoles will allow some addons to be used on them. It makes it easier to have certain addons and a must for some people to have them.

    I started on the PC and switch to the consoles. The PC is much easier to coordinate a group with for PvP and PvE. The AddOns the PC has allows them to track buffs, heals, damage, xp/ap earned, mini-maps, etc. It is also much easier to communicate across an entire zone. The PC players would demolish the console players and the gap between elitist and non would grow exponentially. If you are a console player, enjoy what you have and be careful what you ask for.

    Also another thing I don't want to see weird names that xbox players and ps4 players have instead of a real character name.
    Plus I think it would be a headache for the devs and also one important thing pc will no longer be able to get patchs until the console players do which would not work well for them also thats the main reason why they won't merge consoles with pc.
    Consoles don't even have text chat, also the interface is limited they are limited by the controllers. They might be able to hotkey with keyboards if the console version supports it but they would have no mouse support what so ever and no addons because consoles don't like people having mods or addons.
    Like other have said, it would be a bad idea, pc will always be at an advantage and console players would not be able to have what makes pc version the best version. They will add text chat but possibly not any time soon for consoles.
    Pc gets patchs and dlc first
    Pc gets text chat and addons
    PC has mouse and keyboard, but also controller support.
    Pc has it where you see, chararater name not account name on players
    What pc does not have is in game voice chat, people have to do it with outside sources.

    Main reason why pc version is better.
    Consoles have no Text chat
    Consoles have no access to addons and interface is limited
    Consoles have integrated voice chat.
    Console players go by gamer id instead of in game name you choose for your character.
    Console players have it harder because they have to listen to people and loud music and who knows what else people are doing or saying or even worse doing to each other and broad casting it so everyone else can here it lol.
    Consoles don't get patchs as often they have to go through the console companies in order to release them.
    Consoles could be stuck with game breaking bugs for weeks when pc gets it fixed in one day.

    No many people here belive in adaptation or evolution. If the PC boys always cry over VMA and we smash it on console time and time again and leaderboards are stupidly hard to get on we clearly don't need some pony noob add ons. Most of the game play shots look horrific on PC, proper amateur stuff 99% of it. I'd take on any PC player any day, anywhere, any time.

    This. It's a good idea in theory -- more people can only be a benefit to an MMO -- but realistically the servers just cannot handle it.

    Enough people report lag as it is.

    I have those things on Console. They just don't happen to be on the same screen. I have a tablet sitting next to me that gives me locations of anything I want anywhere in the world. I am not even remotely interested in all the other add-ons. I don't want to see the two mixed because of the attitude problems that would emerge. I'm not even sure the two consoles can play nice together but it would be good nevertheless since many friends got split up in the last console war.

    Cross platform would probably only be across consoles since the hardware and control scheme/setup is generally the same.

    I don't really see them allowing cross play between PC + Console since the hardware can differ so greatly, not to mention PC users have addons, mods, macros and other custom tools at their disposal.

    Also for PVP I know that most people would say that PC users may have a slightly better advantage in terms of having better performance hardware + a full Keyboard and Mouse at their disposal.

    PC players for the most part have the potential to output more than 60 FPS, have better precision with a mouse especially those of us with the 12-key or more kind, and have addons that give us faster, accurate data on fights.

    Keyboard with macro keys OR background program is something more common.
