Re: PC players in console lobbies?

@Cheese9Man Yes, I know how to jump over a deathbox and quickly take one thing. I know what a PC player can do while looting a box for 10 solid seconds and strafing back and forth as I watch them take their sweet time going through the loot.

@Cheese9Man There was no icon... never seen that before.

And if I was new to the game, I get it....maybe I'm not sure of the difference or what have you. But Im an above average player with thousands of hrs into this game. When someone jumps moves across in mid flight that many feet and back again the same distance all while still in mid air - yup...pretty sure I know what Im seeing. One of my sons plays on PC and I have watched him play a lot!  I have watched many videos of how to tap strafe on controller/console, and have logged many hours trying to pull it off... It can't be done to the degree of PC and what little can be done is extremely and I mean extremely hard to learn. 

@Cheese9Man Just pulled this from online, apparently the following is a Dev's response -
Console players doesn't have to worry about being matched with pc players, unless they joined up with one:
"You will only be in PC crossplay lobbies if you have a PC player on your team"

(CM: Posts shared in a row have been merged. Check out this post for tips on how to edit and add more to a post.)

Crossplay is enabled bij default,  you can disable it in your console's settings.

@AcidicSoda44031 

That's because there are barely any console players that disable cross-play.

If players don't enable this option, does this mean that they like cross-play?

If so, should these platforms be forcibly split apart?

I mean, if users like cross-play so much, you'd make quite the portion of players mad by forcing them like that.

@NickBeam27So yeah IDK what you saw. The only way you could see PC players is when you’re in premade squad with a PC player. As for cheats, bronze rank cheaters can join pred lobbies and vice versa. I haven’t heard of any cheats where you can join a console lobby.

If you felt that I’ve belittled your skill, I don’t mean that and I apologize. 

@AcidicSoda44031 

Either the feature is hidden far too much.

Though I personally think it's more logical that there aren't enough players using it so there are good queue times on all datacenters.

You might see a lot of users in console only lobbies on NY servers, whilst other servers might carry a few users, creating a big gap in queue times.

Rank disparity becomes even greater with less players too, so filling lobbies will become even harder if there aren't that many players.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but the way I'm reading your posts, it seems that you don't understand how cross play works in console lobbies. Cross play in console plobbies means that playstation, xbox, and switch players play together.  PC players are not part of the mix here (except in OP's case, who is claiming that PC players are somehow glitching into their console lobbies). It doesn't matter how populated a region is, non-cross play lobbies for console basically don't exist.  Nobody on console plays with cross play turned off, because there's simply no reason to.  Switch players would like to be able to play in non-cross play lobbies due to the extreme disadvantage they face in playing against players from other consoles with 60 fps.  But even on Switch, no one uses that feature (except, rumor has it, in Japan), so they cannot find such lobbies.

Again, forgive me if I'm mistaken, but it sure sounds like you think that "cross play" for console players means that they play with and against PC players.

OP, we need some video or photo proof here or something, in order to have a proper discussion.  Otherwise, this is a case of your word against that of Respawn itself. The only instances of this ever heard of have been a few isolated cases of PC Predator players who somehow cheated in order to glitch into console lobbies and were caught.

@Cheese9Manmaybe he encountered box jumpers and horizon side sliding.

that's why OP confused them with PC players, but I am sure there will be no PC players in console lobbies.

unless they hack it same as what happened a few seasons ago.

Hey, as noted this definitely shouldn't be happening, and some plausible reasons have been put forward for why it might appear so. 

That said, occasionally strange things happen. @NickBeam27  if you happen to have any recordings of the match in question, can you DM me with a link to it (hosting on youtube is the easiest) and we can take a look. 

There's some great info in the post, but at this stage I don't think there's much merit to a further back and forth so we'll lock it off. 

Thank you.
