PC advantage

That kind of Reminds me, I've been playing forced crossplay both on Pc's and on Consoles since the early 2000's and I've never heard a peep from anyone on both consoles or PC.

I've played Phantasy Star Online on my Gamecube with Pc players and I've played Final Fantasy XI on my PC with both PS2 players and later on with X-Box 360 players.

Final Fantasy XIV has been crossplay for years now as well, and I've never seen anyone complain about people who use controllers, even better those controller users (yeah they never talk about the console or PC players but controller and KBM players) are kind of revered as they can play really well using an imput method that is strange to most MMORPG players.

PC players have been in an enviroment where vastly different machines go head to head for the longest time now and the consoles are only now joining that space. Things are changing, buckle up because they will change even more.
A few years ago software updates and iterations on hardware were unheard of and soon we'll just have a platform (Ps5 X-Box Scarlet) that can run a certain set of games but you can customize your consoles just like the PC has been customizable since the beginning.

There's change coming and if you can't handle it then you'd better get into that bomb shelter because you're not going to like it out there.

MWuhahahahaha (happy halloween btw :-) )

We lost all the loot just because we have a controller.

Correction: you lost all the loot because your decision making is totaly off the charts and instead of geting better, you rather complain and demand things.

We had no chance because they jumping around with either a sword and blunderbuss.

Correction: you had no chance because you decided to stay there while a massive army was rolling up on you. How in the world can you make such a decission and then complain about loosing?

If we're at the fort and a sloop, 2 brigs and a galleon show up, and we are so intelligent to decide to camp there, they have to be absolutely horrible players for us to come out of there alive. If you expect to handle this (no matter if pc or xbox) it's totaly on you that you've got sunk and lost all of it.
Just the single fact that you have the audacity to complain, while you guys made a totaly poor decision, to tank 12 people in 4 ships while only beeing 3 makes this utterly ridiculous. I just can not take your post seriously... What the hell did you expect? To just facetank them and come out alive??

I have to agree that xbox loading times are way longer than pc and this can lead to a serious disadvantage, but the rest man... that's totaly on you.

This game is about strategy and skill, you better learn it, no matter the hardware you play on...

To be honest we should all be mad at Microsoft, until they changed the way recent players were shown, none of this was an issue.

I will go so far as to say that it was a mistake to fix recent players list in a game like this. Back when recent players wasn't working you wouldn't get abusive message from the people you beat.

I can say tho I have had some nice conversations with some crews after they messaged to say Good Fight, but those are the exception.

Down with the fixes to the recent player list.

So me and my freinds were doing the fort of the dammed, there was three of us so it took about an hour. ( we play on xbox btw) and we finished it hide the key and scan the horizon. We look around and see 2 brigs, a gallion, and a sloop come out from hiding, we know the key is hidden and safe so we lower sails and have a all out war. We had no chance because they jumping around with either a sword and blunderbuss. Or double gunning(wich btw is still possible on pc if u dont know) and loading in under 5 seconds while I literally took 97 seconds too load from the ferry of the dammed(not including the time loading into the ferry of the damned). We lost all the loot just because we have a controller.
I love this game but that's really frustrating. And one of my freinds were on pc for half of it and he was the only one getting kills, but then he had too switch too xbox and we just didnt have a chance.

bla bla bla bla NO THEY DON'T GET IT THOURGH YOUR HEAD YOUR LOST THAT BATTLE!

@tak225 said in PC advantage:

@badassfro Yeah pretty sure you would like people not to be able to see recent players and identify the platform they are playing on even tho it's obvious by the way they play

True, but you would only have had a "feeling" they were playing on PC, if you choose to blame that for why you lost then fair enough.

Like I said it wasn't an issue on the forums until everyone that loses was able to blame the "PC Bogeyman" by being able to confirm they went against PC players.

And I still stand by the fact, none of you bother checking if you beat someone so there is no way to know if you have been beating PC players.

Actually on a side note, I wonder if these Xbox players actually bother with PvP. I have a feeling they don't, which could explain why non of them admit to checking players they beat......cause they don't

@tak225 said in PC advantage:

@badassfro Well you can tell by the way they play jumping around like crazy and the recent players list just confirms it as I said before easily identified usually having hardly any ganerscore or only playing play anywhere titles

So how do you tell the elite controller users who can jump around the same. Or even the players with different control schemes?

so I don't jump around you wouldn't know?

What if they balanced the bunnyhopping? if they worked on preventing it like with the Double Gun. (Don't even start with the "but double gunning is still here" the fact is they have attempted to balance and fix it with the animations, doesn't mean that it's perfect yet)

To be honest they did this with the render distance, did you know my £500 GPU is no better than your Xbox for the render distance. - That was a valid complaint at the start of the Game "Pc users can see further than us on Xbox" - do you know what happened to those threads?
The PC community agreed and even provided screenshots to prove and help.
Rare listened and the above was implemented,

TLDR: What I'm getting at is if you're issues are with bunnyhopping why not request balance fixes to that? Instead you like this confrontation on here, I can tell by you're posts you don't care about the game and are only here for the drama.

@tak225 said in PC advantage:

@badassfro Elite controller as a input method is not the difference between mouse and keyboard as you would make it to be it's still controller Vs controller I have no issues going up against a elite controller playing on any game Vs m&k

But they allow users to do the exact thing you complain us PC users do. I'm not understanding, and is that the only thing you have to say the whole post, that you don't mind elite controllers?

This just proves you don't want a discussion, you don't want a compromise. You just want the drama

@Deckhands - what is the rules on purposefully trolling?

@tak225 said in PC advantage:

@badassfro I want opt out I don't want compromise the option in this game that all cross play titles I play give me a choice as should this I can opt out on pubg should I choose I can opt out on Fortnite I can opt out on gears 5 I can opt out on cod I can opt out on rocket league this game should be the same

Then go play those games, they aren't SoT.

Again all that proves is that you don't want to play this game. Why are you even here if not for the drama?

@tak225 You're making so many mistakes here. It's funny how you think that jumping is exclusive to PC. It's the A button on your controller (same as on my controller on my PC). You can also rebind it so it's easier to hit while doing other actions, and I'll give you another really great tip.....

There's a USB slot in the front of your X-Box, if you go to your local electronics store and buy a Keyboard and Mouse set you can plug it in there (USB logo goes up btw Pro tip here) and you can play with that. So guess what? There's no way of spotting if someone is playing on X-Box or PC!
