Crossplay for consoles

What if we, and I’m just spitballing here, play the game because think the concept is fun and not for the competitive aspect of it. Not everything is about a win rate and a KD.

Lol, great place for that. Only second to twitter.

Well it’s either I argue for gaming rights or I just play solitaire while I wait for the production floor supervisors to change the schedules again.

(They found “about to expire” products and want to ship it out as fast as possible)

Really, MnK v Controller comes down to personal preference and I’m not gonna say “YOU NEEDA BUY KEYBOARD NOW!” (hell I personally prefer controller for most shooters), my point there was that PC having an advantage due to having keyboards is negligible, because an Xbox or PS player can get a relatively cheap MnK combo, and get rid of that difference

I also want to mention, once again:

To you it might not be, but to another it might be
There’s nolives on console just as there are nolives on PC, crossplay wont change that, but that’s besides the point

Actually, a lot of games on console support MnK, especially if they’re cross platform. The only cross platform game I can think of that doesn’t support MnK for Console is Rainbow 6 Siege, but once again, besides the point

A pioneer in their field!
A precedent set for generations doesn’t mean it’ll be there for eternity. Look at aircraft, for example. Each generation set a different precedent that either faded away or was improved upon in the next generation

As I’ve stated, I believe in this too. I apologize that I wasnt clearer earlier and that I came off more rude than anything, but what I’m trying to say here is:

“This isnt something that needs to be brought to court over, and the policy says it would fail anyways. You can just enable crossplay for a mild inconvenience, but the fact you cant play RB/SB is stupid nevertheless”

You did bring up some good points, but to add onto the quote, there are multiple differences between the console community and the pc community. One of which is that, from what I have seen, often PC players and their egos will blame console players for not winning the game for them (I have seen this firsthand) and give is console players a bad rep. Another issue is that it is way fore common to find cheaters on PC. While back then console cheaters did exist, they are almost non-existent today as Microsoft and Sony don’t like you changing g the files in their console. PC cheaters on the other hand are more prevalent, and are always finding ways around the anti cheat that gaijin has implemented. While I don’t believe this should be sent to court, it would definitely improve the state of the game. (After all, we can only go up from here!)

Hmh - from my pov wt lost his soul and the underlying concept years ago.

With a neutral and sober view on things the game looks rather like a gigantic scam (to generate income with mini-maxi transactions) as the game is clearly optimized to cater the needs of shooter driven minors and to lure them into the trap called “eternal grind”.

That’s the reason why Ground RB maps became more or less exclusively CQC maps or why Air RB sees this 16 vs 16 nonsense on way too small maps - this renders (to gether with the MM) the outcome of matches to a random event as actual tactical or even strategic game play (based on an experience advantage) become way less decisive.

Regarding MnK vs controller: If you have ever played MW 3 on PC and later on xbox you see the difference - totally different games as the aim assist on console is far inferior to a mouse usage.

In any case: Have a good one!

Tbh, the only reason I play wt is because out of the vehicle combat game genre for console, wt is the best by de facto. The camo mechanic in WoT is what killed it for me, and that’s my 2nd option.

Your entire “pioneer in the field” sets a very dangerous precedent. How long until Xbox and PlayStation players are actively prevented from playing the full game in general? It all starts as a small conspiracy, slowly taking rights (not allowing Xbox players to access the full game with Crossplay disabled), and then it becomes Xbox players are not allowed the full game. These things always happens, and what we are looking at is the pioneering of a gaming apartheid (“we can be equal, separately”) that becomes a monopoly under the guise of loosely interpreted Capitalism (“nobody is stopping you from buying a PC” when anyone questions why console players are not allowed to play the full game).

The thing is too, War Thunder actively has taken the course for this snowball. First they limit our access to the Gaijin store (we cannot buy user created skins, access deals, etc.), then they limit our game (cannot play without Crossplay). Even now, they limit our ability to play with Xbox players. What is next?

We can’t buy stuff on gaijin website, where lots of deals are.

Exactly, we get like two good deals a year (Christmas and Gaijin’s birthday), meanwhile PC players practically get half off deals every month (exaggeration, but relatively accurate), with the Gaijin store Golden Eagles being cheaper, ability to buy and download mod packs, access to more skins, the ability to buy skins, sights, and even buy more vehicles (old event vehicles, coupons, vehicles formerly in the game like the Maus, etc.), meanwhile what do we get? We get arcade only battles.

Go back to school little bro, the term means to use something to a bad effect. That’s how I used it. Have fun at recess ☺️

to which you replied :

Ie he said you dont have access to graphics settings, (if you could read), you repeated what he said as if he was wrong. Then you ignored it when he called you out

Would you look at that, he was right

<3 AWWWWWWWW would you look at that, they included you in the definition!

Yes! I’m really sorry to respond so late, but yes, I 100% agree with you here!

I think thats still leftovers from the whole console wars

That was sarcasm lol

Actually, that’s Microsoft/Sony, not Gaijin. It’d be better to start with them ending console acc transfers instead of that, because that’s actually out of their control

Like S1NK1N, you raise good points as well

Couple things, one:
That was much older and the convo had moved further by the time you came here
And two:
Not to be that person, but I’m not a he

But late to this one.

I never said he was wrong, I was merely elaborating on the effect of them having access to graphics settings, as I stated here:

I do admit that I did respond a bit odd here, but it is what it is. The convo has move way past here

0/10 rage bait, last insult doesn’t even make sense.

No, you misread what they wrote is what you did.

I don’t understand the need for (childish) insults, as this doesn’t relate to the OP discussion. You butt hurt about my takes?

Idk why you are so fixated on this, me and the other poster have come to agreements.
