If freelance is unsustainable... if we want best connections with the most balanced lobbies; all platforms need to be in the same matchmaking pool.
But for that to happen we need technical parity amongst all 3 platforms. That means locked framerates, and right now that would be 60/120. 60 in PvE and 120 in PvP. This means prohibiting macros, scripting, movement shortcuts, and add-ons on PC. This would also address the hardware add-on issues on consoles as that is how they grant unfair advantages to players... firmware or gamepacks with designed suites of scripts and macros.
As it stands Raid races are a farce because of these technical disparities between console and PC. Movement advantages, latency advantages, & higher dps ticks rates (PC players with high frame rates 100+ do more dmg and in rarer cases take more, but it is at base a significant advantage for PC over console). That's not even taking about input advantages aka mechanical latency advantages i.e. point n click on a 2D plane vs operating 2 separate levers in a 3D space. PC will always have that default advantage...
But...It shouldn't go beyond that, everything else should be equal in regards to technical parity. Bring credibility back to Raid races....
Aztercross is right, the best solution for the health of PvP matchmaking is combing all platforms under one umbrella... WITH technical parity.

7 通の返信…. We need to stop parroting content creators and simply see them as they are. They are only pushing the game for their own views and follows. Play the game the way you want and quit being influenced by people with their own interests in mind. Worlds first races? Who cares. Once that’s over we still have a games to play. That only serves their interest for their business.

I respectfully disagree. I play on ps5, the last thing I want to be subjected to is pc cheaters. Not to mention the movement advantage and zero need for stability on mnk. The pvp population has been on life support for a long time. If they combine everybody, it will be the final nail in the coffin.

1 返信I really don’t understand why some people play at 200 frames lmao it really doesn’t look that different from 60 or even 120

What you’re saying makes sense except there’s major issues with crossplay between PSN and XBox. Console to console. Not even factoring PC into the equation. I’ve heard the word Desync used and we’ve all heard about players on different consoles complaining about lag affecting the gameplay. PS players saying XBox players are teleporting everywhere, not showing up on the radar, not taking damage. XBox players saying the same thing about PS players in their games. Given the present situation crossplay in its entirety should be disabled in PVP only until such time as fixes can be implemented. Should that ever occur then your suggestion could be looked at.

1 返信I wonder why a pc content creator would want console players in his lobby by default... It's almost like it would be in his own business interests. Azteclown.

2 通の返信I don’t want to play against pc, mainly because I don’t want to face pc cheaters. You know all that cheating before battle eye, not even a ounce of it on console.

5 通の返信Unfortunately, ps4 and Xbox one make this impossible. It will remain this way until bungie drops last gen consoles.

7 通の返信I dont want to play against pc players AT ALL. The only way I’d be ok with it would be in a near impossible world of gaming (ALL methods of cheating banned with ZERO workarounds and mm based on fps/input).

8 通の返信You had me on your side and then you said "locked frames" mf I didn't JUST build a $2k PC to be held back by some dude on an original Xbox one or PS4 that only plays once a week.

13 通の返信Yeah, at this point might as well. But PC does still seem to be more on the actually competitive side so there's probably a lot of people that wouldn't really care for the technically technical parity thing. Then you'd have requests for mnk on console. And just the mnk vs. controller thing would be pretty wild. Can definitely see how some people would think that's a good idea but there's probably a lot of PC players that would consider it a pretty big downgrade to have everything capped if they've paid to have a certain experience.
