Seeing as PC has Mods and other exclusives not available on consoles would it be possible to get console exlusive content?
Just as a funny example Xbox green dye, PS blue dye, named thralls named after console founders, legendary weapons that are easter eggs of console exclusive games such as Gears of War, Halo, God of War, and so on.

Id like to see packs or dlcs of categories like armor stands and pvp items to place in a base, or vines, trees and bushes with ponds, or stalls with merchants and stacks of silks and metals for role play. I would pay a reasonable price for items to decorate or have some use.

Those are things PC can get Via mods. For items to be Console Exclusive it would have to be something that would be unattainable by PC.
To further my example Xbox Version could have a named crafting thrall called Robert the Gatemaster who when tamed produces the Xbox Green dye or an axe called Slayer of Silcon Valley depending on which workbench he is placed on.
Heh, William Gatez, Overlord of Boxesđ

Then the quest is futile. Anything âXbox exclusiveâ PC could modâŠ
Not if the dev kit doesnt include the assets but you are right there are some talented modders out there who could probably find a way.
The mods are something that Funcom doesnât spend any of their time or assets on. Youâre basically asking for something that not even pc has access to. Mods are made by independent people like multigun that spend their own time on and graciously let others get the use of.
Yes, I know. I used to watch firesparks vids showing beautiful and clever mod placeable and gave kudos to the person behind them. I was so envious of the work and not being able to have such amazing pieces on console. Sorry if you mistook me for ignorant, good man.

Not at all. Nothing ignorant about the post mate. I was merely pointing out that if funcom make ps and Xbox exclusives, it would likely irk the pc player base. Probably a lot

Believe it or not, im a femme gamer
Whether or not a PC modder could copy the idea i really dont care. Personally I would love placeables to make the base more desirable to live in or capture.
Such asâŠ
Clan flags or a post, pole, mounted head on a pike. Available to dye in clan colours or symbols to mark their territory.
I would love that one!

And that is exactly the point of my suggestion. For too long PC has loomed over console player with a sense of superiorty that has forced a permanent divide in our community. Then once the modders get involved its borderline bigotry how they treat us console players. So I say its time to even the playing field by adding content specificly for console and denying it for PC.
Perhaps going as far as making Gportal servers cross console compatable.
To fully support my observation here are a few facts from my PoV.
Test live: PC (yes) Consoles (no)
IoS Early access: PC (yes) Consoles (no)
Mods: PC (yes) Consoles (no)
Chosen of Asura: PC (yes) Consoles (no)
Just my opinion from what ive witnessed in the 4 years ive been playing CE, but seems Console version has always been treated as a byproduct of the PC version and is rarely if ever taken into consideration during the decision making process.
Any divide is only a perceived thing on our behalf. I wrote a post kinda related to how you feel only a week ago but it was limited to communication with console players in the forums so I understand where youâre coming from.
The biggest issue is that test live is patched and updated regularly. Pc has no certification process. Sony and Microsoft would have to certify every single small hot fox and patch which costs money for each one and would slow development of the game down by a considerable margin waiting for Sony and Microsoft to do their thing.
The game is being developed on pc and than ported to console. Donât wait for this to ever change.
Not correct. I donât know all the Chosens but @Croms_Faithful plays on ps4
Iâm not trying to nit pick but funcom havenât created a divide, we as disgruntled console owners that donât have access to features that the limiting hardware and certification process is to blame for have created that divide ourselves. Best bet is if you feel that strongly about missing out, go out and grab a pc.

I understand but im trying to push for console player equality i guess. I just feel as though we as players are not view as valuable as PC players are.
Im one to admit if im wrong and if this is incorrect i apologize, but most of the CoA ive seen have been PC players or modders. Im a pragmatist so i tend to call it as i perceive it. But that being said Funcomâs fault or not is it right that console players are treated at a lesser worth? Is our time, money, and loyalty not worth the effort to make something in game just for us? Or are we just excess baggage just along for the ride? I understand there are technical and legal limitations that prevent consoles from having access to certain features what I am asking is a consolation prize to make up for those limitations. Kind of a âSorry we ran out of cake, but you can have this cookie!â scenerio.
This is the same thought process I had just last week. I was wrong. Pc has nothing that console users donât that funcom themselves have done exclusively for them. They just get it first for already stated reasons. Consider pc users the testers for content that later is given to consoles albeit in a much more refined and polished version.
I feel where youâre coming from I really do. Thatâs why Iâm currently in the market for a gaming pc
I canât agree that itâs on funcom to throw a dog a bone for personal choice. As a fairly bad example if you buy the base model of a car should you be given a cookie because others have chosen a different model of the same car that comes with extra features that the base model does not?
I donât know about exclusives, but Iâd throw money at modder/creator, FC, and sony for the Northern Timber mod.

Your analogy would make a valid point if we were talking about purchasing a platform. However we are talking about a product intended for all platforms. A more accurate analogy would be consoles buying a comic book at bookstore for X amount. But PC paying the exact same price at a comicon to get an autographed copy of the same comic in plastic sleeve. We as console players are paying 100% of the price for 90% of the product offered. Excuse me for wanting an equivalent of the other 10%. As a consumer I like to geet what I pay for. Do I expect them to go out and exstravagant with it? Hell No! But something simple and thoughful would be nice. Even as simple as âOh you bought our game and all our DLCâs on Xbox? Sure here you can play on PC also.â But no to install on my new PC I would have to pay for all of it over again. Dont know about you but i got bills to pay and kids to feed and cant afford to pay 150 bucks on something i already paid for. So no its not about choice of platform its about customer service and appreciation, two things sorely lacking in the gaming industry these days.
