PoE on PS4 cross-play?!
|
I'm glad to see PoE finally coming on PS4, do we know if this share servers with Xbox or they are separated? Personally I hope there will be cross play, otherwise the already few console players would be even more splitted away.

That is why many people prefer it. Happiness requires effort. |

" Thanks. This is so disappointing could have been a good chance to strengthen both console versions :( | |

Console versions working with each other seems to be a tricky thing... I've been watching a niche title in a different genre releasing versions for both those consoles, plus PC/Mac/Linux. The only incompatibility between all the versions is XBox <-> PS4. Not because of a software problem, but because Sony.
Whether the same problem applies here I can't be sure, but I'm certainly not surprised there's no cross-play. | |
" I mean, we got cross play for incoming Fallout why should Sony denies it for PoE? Anyway as stated above it seems clear it won't happen at least on release :( | |
" The Fortnite kerfuffle wasn't about not being able to play together with people from other platforms, it was about accounts being locked to PS where they were portable before (and without warning, at that). The only good reason I could think of for keeping the servers separate is to prevent people from siphoning items from one platform to the other in trade leagues. Or I suppose each platform holder could be concerned about the other platform's worse security allowing for more bots/hacks, which would lead to a worse experience on their own platform as well. Or maybe it's GGG who want to keep markets smaller. |

" I mean, GGG are not gonna stay away from a huge and lucrative venture like that just because trade would be bad. But if they have the option to halve the size of the ingame market with zero extra effort, I can see them being fine with it. Wasn't trade intended to work off of interaction with your immediate peers, rather than the API snipefest it mutated into? |
