Still No Same Day Multi Platform Release in 2018

It’s funny that for every major dlc release that comes from Zos, pc gets it first and then 2 weeks later consoles receive it. Zos main reasoning for that process was to blame it on Sony and Microsoft for their verification process. The real question is, does Zos think their customers don’t or haven’t played any game that had dlc release same day for multi platform? Lol

✭✭✭✭✭Ummm... that's nothing to do with ZOS. It's with Sony and Microsoft.
And ZOS has every opportunity to make the PC launch date coincide with the Console one. It's that easy. But god forbid you suggest that cause then it'd be a MAJOR injustice to PC users, making them wait two weeks like that...CP2,100 Master Explorer - AvA Two Star Warlord - Console Peasant - Khajiiti Aficionado - The Clan

They could do same day release if they delayed the pc release as console updates has to go trough verification by sony and ms.Ummm... that's nothing to do with ZOS. It's with Sony and Microsoft.
Some companies delays pc release for same day release.
On the other side this let zos fix some bugs before console release,
Grinding just make you go in circles.
Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.1 -

I honestly wouldn't give a ***.
But ZOS apparently sees merit in allowing PC to play the game on live for 2 weeks, presumably as a sort of pseudo-betatest to give a couple more weeks for more patching.
Either way, some group is going to get pissy.
Either we let PC have it 2 weeks early and "console peasants" get mad.
Or ZOS holds up PC release to catch up to console release, and "PC master race" gets mad.
Honestly, everyone just needs to take a chill pill. This is quite honestly the least of our collective problems.PC-NA Goat - Bleat Bleat Baaaa3 -
kvlou79✭✭✭One of the benefits of being on pc, at least we are bug testers hehe
^This 100%. I mean who cares!?! There’ll be guides and maps online for consolers when it drops. Also, you’ll know about all the game breaking bugs. (Remember the storage crates deleting contents?!? Thank you PC early-accessors)0 -

I understand early access, however why would Zos say they have no hand in this and that it’s on the 2 week verification of Microsoft.0 -
zParallaxz✭✭✭✭✭Also no other major game does this, and for those saying pc bug test for the 2 weeks........ console still gets the same patch you got lol0

Because it is?
I don't know what else to tell you bud. ZOS chose to make use of that 2 week period on PC.PC-NA Goat - Bleat Bleat Baaaa1 -

Any kind of patching that ends up being significant has to go through the same verification process as all major content. So even in the end if that so called beta testing causes any fixes to be made only PC get them immediately, while Consoles have to muck through the same things that PC had to.
The beta testing shtick is something a lot of people love to throw around to justify the two week gap.CP2,100 Master Explorer - AvA Two Star Warlord - Console Peasant - Khajiiti Aficionado - The Clan

✭✭✭Try the PTS later today and see if the version that is up (after Maintenance) is what you want live on the consoles, as the delay is M$/Sony testing the code before it can go live“Be as a tower, that, firmly set,

How so, it’s open world and high volume of people in one area. It’s not a MMORPG if that’s what your referring to.0 -

You chose your preferred game platform knowing the limitations that came with it. Why should PC players be held back because of this?I'm not prejudiced; I hate everyone equally !4 -

Though most of those patches are ready before console launch which makes for a smoother transition of having the major bugs fixed before starting to play.-= Interested in joining a Trading Guild?! =-

Square Enix does with FF14 (they have to do so as PS4 and PC share the same servers)1 -

✭I really don't see the problem here. I honestly think it is good because like, all console players get to hear PC players whine about something for 2 weeks so they will be prepared for whatever is happening. That's how I see it.0 -

Not the same really, since all players (PC and PS4) are lumped together on cross-platform servers.0 -
ssorgatem✭✭✭✭So your logic is that ZoS should withhold PC release until the console manufacturers have approved their respective versions?
So that *you* don't get pissed for no reason?
Why would they do that?0
