New to the Game

[Percello]

Greetings everyone! I just recently purchased the game and I can say, all in all, its quite enjoyable. I am, however, curious as to where everyone is. From the looks of the threads and posts on the forums, most people play this on xbox. Not sure if it's possible but a universal PC-Xbox server is needed. Other than that, this is my "Hello everyone" post and if they want someone to do missions with, look me up in game. I plan on being quite active


-Also, if anyone else is new and wishes to introduce themselves, feel free to post here.

Well i play on Australian times (typically evening to early/late AM U.S. time) on NA PC and i typically see quite a lot of people about though it's slowed a bit i have to admit since the number of major arkfalls got reduced.

Welcome.

I also wish this game was cross-platform, woulda been sweet.

Welcome to the game.

I think the main issue with going cross platform, is actually MS owns both the xbox, and the majority of the operating systems for PC. I think opening it up could potentially cause some anti-trust issues, and I don't think either Sony or MS want their consoles playing on the same network. To add to this you would also run into pvp balance issues of keyboard+mouse vs console controller.

Overall it would be nice, but I doubt it will ever happen, though it's also a bit more likely with XBone and PC I suppose.

No reason other than MS saying no to multiplayer games for XBox and PC on the same server. Supposedly because they want to protect XBox players. There is something semi-official for Defiance somewhere but not hunting it down now.

Sony seems to have no issues but Trion still decided to give them separate servers.
