    Probably Console wont be THAT behind from PC, but its early atm to say. If you can play with a controller go ahead and just try it.
    About the pretty nice PC, it does make a difference with fps and graphics overall, but dont expect too much from this poorly optimized game.

    It's not too early to say. Console is released and it's in the VM8 patch, which is around a year behind PC. Even if they're on an "accelerated" patch cycle, it'll be similar to how NA used to be a consistent 6 months behind KR. They'll eventually "catch up" but even now PC is still 2-3 months behind KR.

    So... yesterday I ran a side by side comparison on my PC and Ps4pro and leveled a character on each through the tutorial to Velika.

    That easily fixed my problem of starting over on console or going back to PC. While on console, I don't think its as bad as people are making it out to be, there are some serious slow-down and framerate issues. On PC its just better.... no big surprise.

    I did like the main menu/inventory interface they had on console (and they also didn't have the radar in the upper corner), but aside from that it's a no-brainer.

    Side note: On console, I started with zerker, and on PC, Valk, and it just seems like the newer classes from Reaper on, just flow so much better than the original ones.

    If you're talking about the little radar that shows you mobs/gatherables, you can hide it by pressing this button.

    As for new vs old classes, between the older classes and the release of newer classes (aka Reaper onwards) there's been a few years of development time. There was also a decent shift the direction they wanted to take combat, so most newer classes have far less animation locks and way more chain skills than older classes.

    However with the current state of endgame the difference is far less noticeable due to typically having a lot of attack speed in endgame content for most classes, especially during burst phases where most classes have large attack speed buffs from items, their own buffs and Adrenaline Rush from Lancer. So I wouldn't be too hesitant to try out some of the older classes, especially with the upcoming godsfall patch.

    I felt like asking but is there a buddy up code for Consoles to speed up leveling? I am enjoying the streams on consoles since the players seem to be so hyped about everything but is there such a code? I might try playing on consoles but i definitely do not want to level up like a turtle xD

    Also, i think that the game is friendly with the new players because the weapon/armor/jewelry and even etchings/glyphs are far easier to acquire now while at the same time we have guardian legion dailies + other events .. And a new player can definitely get some pretty decent stuff even after two weeks of playing ..
