Keep PC seperated from Console

As long as there is an option to opt-out of crossplay, I don't see what the concern is.

what advantages you guys talk about i wonder?

do you mean like PC hunterss v Console survivor is a problem?

Do it yourself.

Well when you look specifically for something you're going to find a lot of it. But take ALLLLLL those videos into context: 1000's of hacker videos vs MILLIONS of completed games.

I won't say that the hackers shouldn't be dealt with or anything like that, just that it isn't a rampant problem in DbD.

Of course you can find something in droves when you're LOOKING for it. But how many videos of it are there compared to how RIDICULOUALY MANY games are played?

An almost nonexistent percentage of them.

I started out on the xbone version then switched to PC. I still use my xbone controller and do just fine. There isn't really as big a difference from m/k vs controller as one would think. If this was a FPS it would be different but DBD doesn't go that hard. I could see the frame rate being a semi issue. Not sure what the game runs at on ps4 but it was reasonably smooth on my xbone. To me the frame rate is just for looks once it goes over 30fps. If it drops below 30 is when actual problems happen. Crossplay won't be bad at all I think.

Edit: The only other thing I can think of is it's easier to 360 a killer on console and it's way more prevalent there. PC killers for the most part will slap you down trying to 360 them. So if you rely on that then you may have some problems.

So if I play a great Nurse game (Xbox) the survivors will think I'm a mediocre PC Nurse? Or will everyone see I'm on Xbox?

*cries in zombie cowboy*

This is not hard to do on PC. It's also just shenanigans, it only works consistently on pretty inexperienced killers. And it's certainly not worth holding up a major feature addition over.

Wait, so this guy doesn't want cross-play because he is scared of hackers? 1. a lot of other games have cross-play, so it's nothing new 2. if cross-play was should a bad idea, then why would people still want it? 3. console players also have hackers! just because you don't see it on dbd doesn't mean they don't exist.

If it were opt-out and not opt-in, like 90% of players would probably never notice or change it. They would just see way faster queues and stick with it.

Always remember that our line-in-the-sand attitudes and opinions about things here in these forums are not representative of the average player. We are, by definition, the extreme section of this game's audience. Most of the player base isn't going to think too hard about their cross-play checkbox.

How will it be unplayable?

Survivors are practically the same across both platforms. Nothing changes.

Console killers suffer from more lag than PC killers but they are still facing survivors who don't have this lag issue. Again, nothing changes.

I'm not too hot on the notion of crossplay, but I can work with it. My bigger question is there any news on cross save/progression? I've always meant to transition to PC.

yes cross save/progression

lvl of are killers and survivors so it not grind

devotion level and iridescent shards (maybe)

progression in the rife not buying the pass tho

anything that cost auric cells sure not be cross/progressionsaved

I think the advantage of PC over console is extremely exaggerated when it comes to this game. About the only legitimate advantage I feel PC has is frame rates. Hopefully that can be fixed before cross play.

I think it impacts certain killers, like Huntress and Nurse, way more than others. The net benefit is still huge regardless, though.
