Keep in mind we have absolutely no specifics about the console version, so we don't know if it would be a reboot.
I see your point. If it was a completely new server, isolated from PC ones, then it would change everything.
I see it from the perspective of console players being able to play on same servers as PC guys. I frankly think this would be beneficial for everyone. It would THEN become a new Steam release case. If it's a reboot tho with 0 stuff in-game, then I think the console launch would be too slow. Specially if no cross play servers on Instances and Battlegrounds. Console players might end up as the early PC beta ones, waiting days to make a full party to run some dungeons, just because, simply, there isn't enough people up to that gear level for example.
Then we enter on this:
Which I agree. We're yet to see if it will be a complete zero start for console players, or if they'll be able to play with us PC folks.
I honestly expect them to be able to play with us PC guys, it would just get them into a more populated game than an isolated console game (specially if both consoles have separate servers), being able to access the wide gamut of items in brokerage, guilds, and players to teach them stuff/run together.
Granted, the issue we're facing now with server stability is something to consider deeply. Well, for once they gotta fix this for good, regardless of what happens. But even more if they do it the way I imagine.
Yea but how different is that than what you have now on Pc? If a new player comes and starts the game now, there are tons of 65's.
If they transfer to console it basically would be the same thing. The only difference is there would be a big influx of players from consoles and increase in population.
It would make sense since it's taking FOREVER
Kinda totally missed what i said huh?
Everything starts at zero they have been super shhhh about it but when they release the release date i'm kinda half expecting a diablo 3 repeat. The sole reason console people are blah is lack of info i mean there is a BIG LONG LIST of communities for ps4 tera already
Even if they don't have to make all the assets from scratch, it still takes a long time to port a game.
If they make crossplatform with PC and they start from 0 like console users then its totally fine .
its just my though , i want to play a game where everyone started with same conditions , and im sure that if they make a pool or something like that with console players they would think the same as me ^^
PS : this waiting for any announcement to beta date its killing us , we're waiting for a good MMORPG since the new gen launch , hope to see some announcement these next weeks ^^
You seem to have the same view of it as Seraphinush, and I can understand as well that if it's everything fresh save for possible transfers, then it could become bothersome. Both for the transferees and the fresh console players. The OP geared 65s will have low options for runs (only their fellow transferees) and it's of not much advantage to fresh ones as a grown player base.
Now my view of it was a complete connection with PC servers, like, both consoles (PS4 and Xbox One) being able to play on AV, TR, MT, FF and CH. Then we would have a growing community on both sides.
Granted, that's just my opinion/view on the topic, and then I ask out of curiosity:
If that was the case, that console players were able to chose a complete fresh server for them (say, both consoles on one), without PC players on it, unless they re-roll characters from scratch as well, OR chose to use all the same servers, as they are (but fixed lags), completely connected seamlessly between console and PC, which one would you chose? Let's not think of the transfers now, just between those two. I'm curious to see what is people's view on it.
There was a thing i read about them making a voice chat maybe tying up all loose ends and quadruple checking?
