Cross-platform PLEASE!

They should do, but they probably won't put in the effort. The fact that it would make neurotic neckbeards angry would make it twice as nice though.

I play equally well on pc and ps4, and feel qualified to attest to the plausibility of the concept. Besides, it's not as though other games don't already do this, like Rocket League, with no major issues.

I'd love to be able to play with my mates who play on PC and Xbox.

I don't have a good set up for PC, and I'm invested both time and monetarily into PS4, so I don't fancy starting from scratch again.

ApostateHobo · November 2019

Between ps4 and xbox would be great. Not so sure about pc though since they have add-ons and whatnot.

There's literally no where you could escape to with your toons where the servers dont suck.

NO WHERE

so where you gonna go to?

Now that Sony has announced that they officially supporting Cross play between PS4, Xbox and PC platforms on any game using their services, when will ESO support the platform cross-play they originally not aimed to?

They might do it. Can't see a reason why not honestly it would simplify their server infrastructure after they finish updating everything.

The downside is consoles have a different economy. Trying to merge those databases and choosing which group to force name changes on would be a very real challenge.

Like most things in life.. its not as simple as "Sony allows it so DO IT NOW!".

You are correct that it is not that simple.

It is also more than just economies as that adjusts fast. Copying information for a live server is not as simple as drag and drop. There are many issues that can occur.

Besides that there is server performance. Lets be real. All 6 servers have performance issues that have only gotten worse recently. Merging both consoles in NA or EU is probably a horrible idea. Other possibilities of cross play come with their own issues.

So yea, it is not simple by any means and could very well not be a good idea.

I'm cool with playing against Xbox players as a PS4 player, but I really don't think console should play against PC since the add-ons basically play the game for them. However, if PC players were required to disable their handholding add-ons in order to play against console players then I wouldn't mind farming PC players in battlegrounds and Cyrodiil.

Best idea ever...that way console people can easily switch to pc and vice versa with no addon support for consoles ofc but then again when you want to rp and chill just hop on a couch with console and when u wanna go hardcore elitist hop on the pc...idk why people are against this? servers issue affect every platform anyway so once they get fixed we are all good.

Cross play and Cross save are two different things.

With Stadia Matt Firor stated their would be cross play with PC/Mac (both NA and EU) but they had not determined if their would be cross save.

I don't think it will happen ( at least not this game )

I can see Console player already complaining getting killed from PC users, I'm not sure how PVP works with a controller but I could imaging the rotation movement will be slower than that of someone using a mouse, unless you can up the sensitivity

Just my input

I play both console and PC and use a controller for both and for me on PC with my lower CP toon I fight it ALOT easier killing PC players than console players especially since we are both on different a completely different meta on console than from what I currently see on PC and no I'm not saying all PC players are bad there are some good ones but definitely was not able to kill max CP toons console with my low CP toon like I'm able to 1vX PC players

its funny how people think their forum threads matter...stop ruining their fun bruh.

AgaTheGreat · November 2019

It's easier finding new friends to play with than introducing cross play. 🙄

For normies and casuals there wouldn't been a difference but if you play pvp or PVE high level end game, PC has too much of an advantage. Console players have to be reactive, know all the mechanics and in general have good skills in both trials and pvp if they want to succeed. On PC you have countdowns to block, so... 🙄

The add-ons are an advantage. Some of the best players I know play with controller. They're all console transfers.

Console vs PC is unfair in a PVP context. PC can click through rotations faster, have add ons, have combat metrics to fine tune and experiment, and to top it all off, have macros to execute perfect rotations.

Xbox vs PS4, no problem, sounds great.

add ons, fps/hardware issues etc. It'd be a nightmare.

So it is a problem to point out actual information specifically related to ESO and your comment which showed a difference between what is asking for and what you suggested. All without being disparaging or negative. lol

Uhh.. I disagree. I play on all platforms. I can tell you this much - hand a PC player a controller and they wouldn't know what to do with it. However, PC player do have the handicap of having add-ons to baby them through this game.

Eedat · December 2020

I'm a PC player and I think that would be entirely unfair for console users for PvP at least. PvP would undoubtedly need to remain separate. I think it would be interesting for the rest of the game though. Maybe console players would have less trouble finding items with PC players updating everything to TTC automatically. There would be other big issues though. For example, items would become much more expensive than they are on console. I think console players would experience a massive burst of hyperinflation.

PS$ here. You cant possibly think that it would be an even battlefield in cyro or even pve when PC can simply macro or script.

Hoo boy. MAJOR necro here.

Hello everyone,

This post is to let you know that we've felt it necessary to put this thread down, as it seemed to have died some time ago. At this time we'd like to try and keep Draugr threads from roaming around the front page, pushing down newer and more lively threads.

Thank you for understanding!
