When the XBox version of Neverwinter is released, will you play on PC or XBox or Both?

I know my nephew will be playing only on the XBOX. He loves his XBOX One deeply and his PC can barely run Neverwinter.

PC, and only PC.
Will these people running this game start to actually see people as human again over dollar signs?
While I won't be playing on a console because I won't buy one. The grind wouldn't be that bad. But I can see people fearing it.
25 ppl on voice chat?
that will be fun to watch lol
then again, it does sounds interesting...

However I do appreciate that it will be an option for those who like fake computers for some reason.

I'm less happy about Cryptic's resources (that we all know, by the known bugs list getting bigger every day, aren't that great to start with) being now split over 2 different releases.
Show me a build for 5 times less.
I would love to video and/or voice record 25 people during a failboat Tiamat run. I sometimes switch zone chat on during Tiamat to watch the rage.
It wasn't meant to be literally. Old parts actually tend to get more, not less, expensive because they basically become limited resources. There's very few people who want them but when they do they don't have very many options since they are no longer manufactured so they tend to be just as if not more expensive than modern computer hardware.
This is why you don't exactly find a lot of people selling low priced computers like used cars.
However if you put a realistic price tag on the five year old computer specs that the XBox One boasts it's not worth the current price tag at all when compared to the performance a real computer would give for the same amount of money.

It's a shame we are not going to be able to play on the same server as the XBOX. A big injection of new players would liven things up a bit.
I've owned consoles since PS1 but the new gen consoles are the first generation I will not be buying. Consoles have lost their BIG advantage over PCs. You used to buy a console game and get a finished, fully debugged game that ran (almost) seamlessly without big downloads, installations, updates and fuss. That is no longer the case and both the Sony and Microsoft networks are now very restrictive and controlled so I've put a mid-range gaming PC together for way less than those consoles with the advantage that it is upgradable. I'll also be avoiding the Steam box like the plague, assuming it ever makes it to market.
The only thing which it shows are people who own both systems and are willing to use both or might switch over to the XBox if for no other reason than to get better controller support.
And I agree on the same server deal. I have always considered it annoying and lacking any purpose to not permit crossplatform interactions. Players should be players regardless of which system they use. Especially since XBox is owned by Microsoft they really shouldn't be hiding behind any proprietary device or code deals.
i still dont get why russian play on a different server... is there a known reason?
As stated in every "I want to blame server location for hardware issues" thread: legalities.
The only reason the company will create a separate server for a region is if the laws of that region prohibit the use of the international server for some reason. As of now Russia and China are the only such regions which NW is/will be hosted in.
Sure, but I think a lot of people or too harsh on other platforms. Consoles have quite often sold near cost or for a loss like they did last gen. Of course with a PC you get a lot of extra customisation and you can't please everyone. That's why we have a choice of different platforms to suit our own needs. Plus cpu and gpu technology progression has been pretty poor over the last few years. I think they definitely have a fair market, although the XBO could've probably done with a little higher boost since some games have to play at 720p, and it's launch price was too high compared to the ps4. Though nintendo seem to be pushing it on the value side of late imo.
Honestly, it's the best thing for them. They'd start off on an even playing field from everyone else having not suffered from an exploited economy twice. They'd get bored out of how easy it is so fast if they had our high levelled players helping them out. It'd also make tiamat much worse for us. Pvp would be horrendous for them. On the plus side they have 1 configuration to test for so there's less variables that can go wrong to account for. On the minus side, they didn't properly test the 2 dragonborn races and a whole lot of other things so I don't hold out much hope. I do hope cryptic gets what they deserve. Whether it be a miraculous change for the better, or sinking due to neglect.
Read my last line. Stop trying to pick fights.
They most certainly are not old parts, quite the reverse. Yes, the CPU is rubbish- a low power AMD thing. It combines the worst aspects of low voltage/restricted TDP CPUs with AMD's legendarily ropey single thread performance, but it's a very modern part. To suggest otherwise is just plain wrong.
I don't care what you want to call it. It's old. Five years ago if you were to buy a mid grade computer you would have gotten the XBox One. Today if you were to buy low end computer parts you would get something multiple times as powerful. It smells and quacks like a duck. You can call it a swan if you want to.
It's old junk in a new shell. If you like the system for whatever reason, fine. I'm all for the game going to XBox One for that crowd. But it is what it is.
The eight core power gated design, designed originally for tablet and compact use then heavily customised, is every inch a modern chip. Five years ago, an x86 SoC of this type and envelope simply didn't exist. Don't assume that just because it has a recognisable instruction set that it's in any way architecturally similar to a five year old AMD x86 part.

An XBox and PS4 is an overpriced for the performance of a five year old limited functioning computer. The end.
Whatever nitpicking you want to do on the exact species of computer is not really up for discussion in this thread.
Why? Many reasons that I think are good, but I see I am currently the only one to vote Xbox, and another vote for Both.
Well, if you decide to check out the Xbox version too, feel free to share your gamertag with me, it's looking awefully lonely for me and anyone else that will likely primarily play it on Xbox.
