Why are PC players being so stuck up to ps3 players?

[Phantasmid]

yet again a load of arrogance, you are blaming the PS3 for bad players, you will not be able to tell a good player is on the PS3 unless they tell you. that is a fact

I'll bet you a good portion of these bad players are on the PC not the PS3

Actually I think you can... when you examine someone it tells you their PSN username if they're on PS3.

pretty sure you can only see that if you are on the PS3 but you might be right

PS 3 Gamers are not comparable to PC players and the shoudent be on the same server,

I'm just gonna leave this here and paste a bit from it as well: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/...-realm-reborn/


PSB: Was it your requirement that PS3, PS4, and PC gamers play on the same servers?

Yoshida: Yes, of course. I think it would be very sad indeed if say a player with the PS3 version invited a friend to play with them but they could not do so because that friend happened to have the PS4 version. So I really do believe that whatever hardware is being used, all players should be able to play together across platforms.
I think that splitting the community down into different segments is something that we should avoid, even if it may look like it makes for a temporary business success. I am incredibly grateful to Sony for making this kind of cross-platform play possible.

It's just a shame with the data centers and now splitting the duty finder between the centers themselves did just this.

you probably think I'm on the PS3 because I'm defending it as a platform but I'm not, your argument is full of holes a gaming PC does not make a good player. a bad player will be a bad player nomatter what you put them on and you will still try to blame the PS3 for it

Its ok if you have a other opinion than me, and you can tell if they are on PC or PS3. Look at ESO the are splitting PC Gamers from Consoles, they know why the do it. Also im sure there good players in the PS3 but they are not the mayority they are a really really small minority

I actually don't think people have fully considered something. The Japanese almost exclusively play on PS3, due to PC gaming not really getting anywhere out there and consoles being the dominant market for a long time, yet they never seem to have these so called problems that die-hard PC gamers say PS3 has. Yes FATES are an issue but that's being looked into and also affects people playing on low end PC's. That is the only issue however and every other "issue" only affects the players view of the game, and only in regards to graphics etc which does not effect actual gameplay. Latency issues are not down to the PS3, and never will be.

controllers work differently on PC client than the PS3 cilent so im geting the impression, I have both PC and PS3 versions and targeting is very different, healing is easy and if you cant press up and down twice or even thrice quickly to select a target then you have to work on your reaction times and you Premt healing/moving. basically it rolls down to personal preferance

Well by your example, lets say you need to heal someone that 2 players away from you.

ps3 = Up + up + healbutton
pc = Heal button

the reaction time there is no comparison

The only thing I can see doing on the ps3 that would compare, is making a targeting macro for each player in your party. So say pressing L+up would heal player 1, L+left player 2 ect. But having to actually target each player by pressing a button, and then pressing another button to do whatever action it is you're doing, is a handicap

i play on ps3 and i have no lag when the whole "pc party" im with is failing out hard cause they lag out in an AoE you cant say someone isnt good because of what they play on or what is better. and honestly telling a ps3 player they cant join your FC is gunna bite you in the arse in the long run. but you pc master race folk can eat it anyway ;P know plenty of nice pc guys and gals i can play with all day. and MMOs shouldnt be segregated. we are past that
