so crossplay question

@jollyolsteamed

I'm not sure what you mean by "suffer" or "prosper" here, but if it's empty lobbies you're worried about - The way they've designed it is so that it's merely a matchmaking preference, and not a hard divide.

This way everyone will continue to get full lobbies. If there aren't enough players opting out to fill a lobby in a reasonable amount of time, they will automatically move you into the full crossplay group.

We've still got a unified player base.

@chronodusk suffer as i stated because if there aren't enough people to sail with whats the point to sail? and prosper because the bigger community doesn't have to worry about whatever advantages console or pc has so they can keep sailing without worry and i hope people will continue to get full lobbies that if there aren't enough people to provide a decent server with atleast 3-4 ships it'll overrule the crossplay option

It's a horrible idea to weaken cross-play,

As far as how strong the negative impact will be, I guess time will tell.

I can't wait until it's implemented into Adventure mode too, so we can see all the new excuses of how someone lost. /s

@dislex-fx since it's going to still be a preference there will always be people complaining. I'm hoping they include this soon just so i stop seeing as many of the crossplay posts. Not referencing this particular post as its one of the few not complaining about it being implemented yet. I dont think either side will suffer truly though as it wont stop pcs and Xbox from intetacting all the same.

Yup, the only downside to a lack of hard split between consoles, is the fact that the nagging will never stop as long as a mix is possible.

Rare went the best route to accommodate the playerbase as much as possible, people have to deal with it.

You know, the same way people kept saying "Just deal with it, it's happening" to people against opt-out?

Well, "Deal with it, it happened" folks.

@bloodybil pretty much my thought. This was the only real compromise on the table.
