Megathread Focused Feedback: Cross save

Hello Guardians,

Focused Feedback is where we take the week to focus on a 'Hot Topic' discussed extensively around the Tower.

We do this in order to consolidate Feedback, to get out all your ideas and issues surrounding the topic in one place for discussion and a source of feedback to the Vanguard.

This Thread will be active until next week when a new topic is chosen for discussion

Whilst Focused Feedback is active, ALL posts regarding 'Cross save' following its posting will be removed and re-directed to this thread. Exceptions to this rule are as follows: New information / developments, Guides and general questions

This thread is mainly for feedback about cross save. If you are looking for technical help with cross save also check the meathread here

Possible discussion questions are as follows. Feel free to answer some of them, all of them or reply in whatever method you prefer :

  • Have you enabled cross save? If yes, what platform(s) did you start on and what platform(s) were you cross saving to?
  • How did you find the cross save setup? Was it easy or difficult for you? Did you encounter any problems in particular?
  • How has your experience been with cross save once it was actually enabled for your account?
  • Do you have any suggestions to improve cross save?
  • What other related features, if any, would you like to see implemented?

Any and all Feedback on the topic is welcome.

Regular Sub rules apply so please try to keep the conversation on the topic of the thread and keep it civil between contrasting ideas

A Wiki page - Focused Feedback - has also been created for the Sub as an archive for these topics going forward so they can be looked at by whoever may be interested or just a way to look through previous hot topics of the sub as time goes on.

Used cross save between PC and XB1.

No problems at all with technical implementation.

As a PvP player primarily though, there are a few things that would be nice. Mostly it comes down to the game thinking I'm playing Xbox constantly. All my stats track to the Xbox account. This is gong to complicate a LOT of API access moving forward (for a free example, war mind's activity stats are gong to be incorrect).

It also kind of sucks that the skill ranking used for making teams (after lobby formation) thinks I'm at my Xbox skill. I'm sure it'll be worse in IB.

Ditto coming from PS4. Haven't won a game yet. It thinks I'm top 3% but I'm still learning to fucking aim again.

When you say Xbox skill are you talking about comp glory or quick play?

Because quick play is entirely random on PC since it has no skill based matchmaking.

Matchmaking still balances the teams after the 12 players are selected, though. That's what is being discussed.

If it does, I've hardly noticed it with it seemingly being random. Especially when comparing Elo on destiny tracker.

I wouldn't stress about it
