Oh, i'm so glad that the messages in a bottle on shores have reappeared...This way i can travel in my favorite mode: " Let Coincidence decide how my adventure unfolds"...
i don't mind buying a quest but sometimes i just want to sail and roam around ...
And if a message in a bottle seems to be a trinket instead then that's double the fun...
There is a little thing i can't understand...Back in the day we were shouting, even crying to make Crossplay possible...Mr Teddy, became our last hope and was crowned King when he and his great team succeeded in the Crossplay option. Now i see many people asking and sometimes demanding to destroy the Crossplay option...
And they are not all Xbox players who ask for this , also PC players seem to be asking this...Appart from the cheater who may have destroyed a session for some people, i don't see why we must sheer for the disability of Crossplay...
Many of my SOT Friends play by PC and i would feel gutted if there would be a wall between us meaning i could never play with them again....
But maybe i have missed the megathread about the deletion of Crossplay and the reason behind for such a drastic question...
Cross play is great for some, but for some xbox players, they struggle to keep up with mouse and keyboard in shooters.
And for All pc players with a decent rig, you are basically forced to have medium graphics settings, even though you set them on ultra, cos xbox can't render anywhere near as well as a decent pc can and view distance etc can give players an edge over others.
It's a tough balance really, I mean for the social aspect I can see the value - I certainly wish my battlefield key for ps4 could be used on my pc, and this game has that with the whole pc/xbox play anywhere. (though I suspect that's a different thing entirely and some game with it don't have cross-ply)
But if I played against pc players on my ps4 battlefield, I'd get annihilated. Controllers are objectively worse for shooters than mouse and keyboard.
Objectively. As in there have been tests and stuff, before any console players who consider themselves to be real gun slingers get up in arms.
Long story short, the biggest drawbacks (gfx downgrade to meet lowest common denominator, mismatch in controls) can be greater than the benefits (being able to play with your pc/console mates together) for some.
Personally only the graphics thing peeves me right off, especially since I played beta and my screenshots from then look better than the game does now (and that g*****n draw distance man... I tell you...)
