@weegee-x17 said in [Mega Thread] - Play Anywhere, Cross Play and Balancing. (Part 2):
My only concern (having only read the first page of comments here) is taking away mouse and keyboard would alienate alot of players... on top of that i imagine letting xbox players opt out of crossplay would massively reduce the player count on the pc version.
PC games reach no where near the player numbers as console games as far as ive seen, removing crossplay would risk killing the pc playerbase off.
Additionally, most of the pvp in this game is cannons and ship based from my experience atleast. I dont think mouse and keyboard gives anyone a particular advantage over others. Even though the facts are there, pc runs 60+fps, mouse alows much faster precise movement etc, those things just dont matter much and when they do its not a huge deal.
Im still a little salty about the ridiculously low sens of the sniper but ive accepted the low sens ads as a balance procedure at this point
Most PVP I've ever come across is people boarding ships to stop you repairin, in the midst of a cannon war the crew who boards the other, wins, so it matters a lot, I very very rarely ever sit on cannons, I swim over with explosive barrels, blast a hole and sit at the bottom of their hull killing or trying to kill people who repair their ships, people need to stop using Ship vs Ship as a comparison for balance, it's player vs player in all aspects other than PVE
