Yep i agree let pc players wreck each other said it for ages now n since the double gun nerf everything is out aim is hit n miss this game is grinding me down slowly to a point where i dont wanna turn it on anymore

@the-tonkinese yeah but imagine only losing to people that have the advantage you are on xbox and yput only lose to pc players no matter the case it shows just how op the pc is compared to xbox

@mrsmoooooose aim quickly and shoot you must be very close to the person

smells like a bit of the case of you got beaten and you stop being that guy to blame you losing on hackers you lost get over it

@quietfoal219917 ok where should i start, first of all it is very difficult to hack Sea of Thieves and there was one update that they have found a way to get in and they got banned.
Blunderbuss from 10 feets maybe he was closer to you and you couldnt see it because of a lag or maybe he "doubled gunned" you.
And for what you said about crossplay you are talking about pc players like they have brought a plague to the game but the mojority of players who got banned where from XBOX not from pc even if you include hackers because of reason like racism and bad language so dont talk about us like we bring troubles, most pc players have mics and because of our wider range of games we are more open to roleplay games other then COD.
All this in general of course but also a fact.

I play on PC and have been one shot with the blunder bust. I cant recreate this action where Im able to one shot a player with the blunder bust so I just assume that persons hacking and try my damnedest to move away or get to another server.

Well, that does explain why this information isn't easy to come across for me, i guess! xD

Actually, as I said before, a quick google search would have spared you making backhanded accusations of dishonestly in error.

Please read and abide by the forum rules going forward.

Thanks!

@fast-bike94 Thank you! However, this isn't something i can find using my Xbox app... Am i missing anything, or is this something only Xbox users can do?

@sweltering-nick you can look at someone's profile and it will pit a pc icon in their profile of they are on pc

@sweltering-nick

Lol, right, the amazing xbox player that every pc guy knows, the one who disproves that its easy to tell whos on pc. If only the rest of us poor schlubs were only as good as that one guy you've all played with...

Oh bubbie, theres probably lots of things you're unaware of that exist. I'm sorry if you CBA to do a quick google its not my job to educate you. Also its HIGHLY amusing to me to watch you make a wall of text answer (like you always do) that is entirely wrong because you wont accept a simple truth I've told. Why would I lie? lol.

Its always been easy to tell, by several methods and now that I can actually see I'm here to tell ya kiddo, I'm almost never wrong. I know its inconvenient so you wont just believe but I'm ok with that, You can keep basing your replies on your apparently limited actual knowledge... lol...weren't you the guy who lectured me about dev updates and somehow didn't know the Brig wasn't originally intended to ever happen? Aren't you tired yet of being wrong all the time when you challenge me on these things?

Suck it up and stop bellyaching, pirate.

You already know Rare is working on something, despite how SoT is more popular than ever.

Game wont die for quite some time, and as a PC gamer, I wont even notice your departure.

Except, maybe less squeakers overall.

@natiredgals "I'm not prejudiced. Prejudice is preconceived and not based on experience."

Prejudice has more than one definition.

https://gyazo.com/f0f723963747930849b874047ea72838

Just because you say it's from experience, doesn't mean it isn't prejudice or bias... Because people's opinions can change based on emotions, in which case you become emotionally biased, for instance... Meaning regardless of your experience, you are still prejudiced.

"I've got tons of experience. And what I've experienced in the game is that its very very easy to tell whos on PC. It always has been."

AheadZeus, the guy from the forums that i helped to finish the Shores of Gold 5 run commendation, is an Xbox player. He's an athena 10 pirate legend.

I thought he was a PC player because of how he moved.

Turns out, he just plays the game a lot, and is just good at the game... At least as good as, or even better than me, and i am actually a PC player. xD

My point being, it ISN'T easy to spot who is a PC player and who is an Xbox player... However, it IS easy to spot those who haven't had much practice, and those who have had much practice.

In the end, the PC player advantage doesn't really come into play until the 90% (ish) skill level threshold and above, where the limitations of the Xbox controller actually comes into play. Btw... 90% skill trheshold is Esports-level skill, i for instance would see myself around the 50% skill area, maybe less.

What you THINK is the difference between a PC player and an Xbox player, is really actually the difference between a skilled player and a not-so-skilled player.

"I'm not speaking from gut feeling or supposition, I KNOW which players I run to are on pc"

And, how do you know this? I'm unaware of any sure-fire methods to figure this out! :o

"So no amount of protestations on the forum can really trump my actual confirmed experience."

That you claim is legit, and yet won't properly explain... Such as how specifically you know for sure if the players you meet ingame are Xbox players or PC players. Information that is crucial to the conversation. xD

@xultanis-dragon

I'm not prejudiced.
Prejudice is preconceived and not based on experience.
I've got tons of experience. And what I've experienced in the game is that its very very easy to tell whos on PC. It always has been.
My experience on this forum is theres a cadre of players, mostly on pc, some that will tell you how they own an Xbox who are adamantly defensive of the status quo and downplaying the PC advantage. Theres really one most likely reason for that to be the case. Not saying it applies to all but yea its really that simple.

The part you keep missing is that for a while now I've been able to verifiy which players I come across are actually playing on PC. I'm not speaking from gut feeling or supposition, I KNOW which players I run to are on pc and I can tell ya, aint many that I've come across who didnt immediately try to KOS and why not, largely they know they are at advantage.

So no amount of protestations on the forum can really trump my actual confirmed experience.

@natiredgals

Its not the disbelieve is the way you respond. Its the way the XBoX community responds to any PC player.

Anytime you have a PC player saying anything be it; disagreeing/agreeing with a suggestion, giving advice on how to play better, debates on subjects, the community reacts negatively to everything we say.

"You guys just don't want to lose your easy kills!"
"Hah PC players are afraid of losing their free wins!"
"Don't listen to him, anyone who disagrees and says they are XBoX players are really PC players!"
"I was griefed and attacked and it was a PC player"

How is every grief story ever told on the forums always about some PC player who did it?

The subject matter doesn't change the way the community reacts towards PC players.

You yourself included. You guys have some serious prejudices and biases towards PC players.

@xultanis-dragon said in I really wish you would stop cross platforming...:

@natiredgals

I find it funny that you react that way to me but you have no reaction towards the OP.

Let me just reels in his fishing line

Again, I've said it time and time again but it really is just prejudice against the PC community.

The way you guys react towards PC and XBoX is completely biased.

I've paid attention to threads and the way you guys respond to PC players and to XBoX players. You guys are completely prejudice against the PC community.

Everytime someone has something to say about cross play, they always seem to point out how they run into 500 different PC players.

PC players call out on it because even on PC we don't run into nearly as many hackers as the console community does which is really silly. You guys always seem to run into ALL of the hackers when even Joe Neate said that the hacker community only makes up less than 1% of the actual player base.

How you guys run into something that often constantly and weekly is a straight up lie. However if the PC community says nothing about it, you guys will circle around like children and start forming conspiracy theories.

We don't want to constantly defend ourselves but we have to or things get out of hand.

SIDE NOTE If you still don't understand, you got baited, and you proved me right. So thanks.

lol, prejudice. I mean its like I've always said, its very very easy to tell whos playing on pc. Further, its even easier now because its visually indicated. I can actually look at a recent player's profile and it will tell me if hes playing on PC. Wanna take a guess at how many times I've looked and been wrong?

Also it doesn't take a whole pc crew to slew the odds. One pc player on a crew can absolutely tip the scales. Personally I've only ever run into one hacker, and it was blatant shooting thru solid objects kinda stuff. And you can complain at how I think you want your cake and to eat it too but I never said I disbelieve you ran into an xbox hacker. I dont think its even as common as on pc but I know it happens.

So to recap, I didnt disbelieve the OP or you, I'm not treating either of you different at all, I'm just saying its funny how you dove onto this thread to explain away the cheater he thinks he ran but turn around and expect us to believe you when he says it

@fast-bike94 said in I really wish you would stop cross platforming...:

@chronodusk it is easy to tell if someone is on mouse and keyboard which is the advantage they should only make it so gamepad players with gamepad and mouse and keyboard with mouse and keyboard but make it optional only in arena mice are capable of making your character turn around instantly on controller you are restricted to a sensitivity of 10 which is not anywhere close to a mouse and pc has been 60fps or more for xbox 30 fps can actually make it hard to track peopLe because the frames don't keep up with how pc players move they can bunny hop over you and track your character with accuracy because mouse is very percise. I understand peopLe don't want a split or even an option but their should be an option not everyone will opt out but a lot will too and I believe this is why rare hasn't done it yet they want to make sure streamers have content which most streamers on pc if the do opt out pc players will almost always get into lobby with the same pepole and it's already happening to me as an xbox user I have come across friends over and over in arena and I only have 20 active friends for sea of theIves at a time. That is pretty bad I imagine that this game is really seeing a big decline in users new users stop playing because they immediately get killed and sunk by most players in adventure mode and arena and they can't handle it some of those pepole just want to sail around without worry. I have to say I'm probably someone who has driven.people out of this game I have sank ships over and over in adventure simply because we thought they were another boat to sink not realizing it's the same one till you get a message from someone on the crew.

Idk if you were in the lobby at the same time when i saw you yesterday but if you heard that Q realityz guy get so upset and toxic and aggressive with me that after i embarrased him verbally i think he cried at the end and never made any point just tried to yell over me, just at me mentioning the advantage, people like him are why people like me and the OP stop caring as much about the good pc players.

Generalizations are dumb, and so is forced crossplay.

If rare ends one form of stupidity already and then actually changes that to gamepad and m and kb split when xbox gets full support (if they didnt already) then maybe this other form of stupidity will die off aswell.

As is i cant help but say i wont be happy to be rid of people like that Q reality guy, also wish i would meet him in a dark alley after how he was talking to me. Lol.

@fast-bike94

My guy, please use some spaces in your comments.

I skimmed the wall of text you replied to me with and I'll just reply by saying that did not speak in opposition of crossplay opt out in this particular thread as you seem to think I did. It's a little late to try and debate that since Rare already promised it.

@natiredgals

@xultanis-dragon said in I really wish you would stop cross platforming...:

@natiredgals

So you are okay with agreeing with the OP with his tales of being hacked which you are sure happen, but my story is just ironic and stupid??

In no way did I agree with the OP, thats why I keep saying that its silly to come to the unnecessary defense of the honor of all pc gamers every time someone says it.

I'm not in here saying either story is one thing or another, which is different from you, you're in here poopooing the idea that a pc guy could be cheating while at the exact same time swearing up and down an Xbox guy was. Its a bad look.

@natiredgals

@natiredgals

I don't think you understand what the PC community is trying to say.

@Nabberwar said

If we don't try to debunk the nonsense arguments, people think the ones making the posts have a valid point. When we do respond we get called aggressive or predictable. Most responding to the post are irritated at having to deal with nonsense again and it reflects in the post.

This right here is what we have been fighting against continuously. If we leave the posts about cheating alone then people will believe that all the posts are valid, that all their conspiracy theories are valid.

The xbox community also seems to ignore that the hacker player base is less than 1% of the actual player count. The XboX community also seems to forget that you can hack on xbox as well.

I mean I was attacked the other day by an XBoX crew that I know for a fact was hacking. Not only did they just appear out of nowhere on my ship, but they also on shot me with a sniper rifle. I checked the profiles and it was an XBoX player. I think I run into XboX hackers almost at least 5 times a week and it gets aggravating that XBoX players are never called on the massive amounts of hacking that they do. I know its not lag, because I'm on PC. I know its hacks because I am on PC and I know hacking when I see it.

So tell me @NatiRedGals. What about all the xbox hackers??

lol, only pc guys on this forum can write walls every time someone says a pc player is hacking with every possible excuse and disclaimer about how it cant be cheating and its gotta be lag or netcode or anything else, and then turn around and un-ironically say "I know for a fact that this Xbox guy was cheating".

Rofl. I love this forum.
