@troubled-cells and you keep battling on....
god its tiring watching you and your ilk continue to grasp at straws to win a pointless game of rock paper Scissors, desperately trying to find something to dismiss the need for an opt out.
Current hardware and the currently planned solution of a crossplay opting out preference is what is relevant right now and in this discussion topic.
Xbox will not be changing the current hardware.......the next console will address that in around 14 months....so what you are trying to do has nothing to with the current situation that needs to be resolved and is being done so finally.
In my time playing this game since the alpha, beta, launch, pioneers to insiders and right now...my experience playing this game via crossplay has been frustrating. I have championed the need for optional crossplay since the beta and launch when it became obvious how imbalanced it was. I put the game down for months when the double gunning/hackers and modders ruined my time with this game after I hit PL.
I have been in this thread since it was made back in January and my point of view has not changed and in fact has only hardened that i do not want to play my Xbox games against those on PC. You can continue to try and find ways to justify your own opinion by bringing up tired arguments of hardware not making a difference, loading times not making a difference, framerates not making a difference, "just buy and use a K&M on your xbox and all will be well".......so much yawn.
My opinion is this and will always be this, Crossplay should ALWAYS be optional from console to PC, it is how every other game does it which features crossplay and the experiment in this case failed.
I do not care if you choose not to read fully what I posted here or previously, [mod edit] about why you feel so hurt by this decision to finally implement the "preference" and really bored with the need of several PC players continuously posting why this option is not required or may damage YOUR experience simply because you never [mod edit] about MY experience when that was spoiled constantly from a failed crossplay experiment.
It is happening, it is finally happening and I will be helping to make sure it is tested and implemented as quickly as possible.
