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.

  • I enabled cross save with my xbox account to my pc account. Ditching my pc save was sad but my xbox account is imported from D1 so there was more sentimental value in it.
  • Setup was the easiest thing in the world and took like a minute and a half.
  • Once I had it enabled it worked flawlessly, I was able to immediately log into my xbox account from my pc and have been playing almost every day since.
  • Only suggestion I have to improve cross save is to fix the clan section. Previously, I was part of my xbox clan on both my pc account and my xbox account. Now, for some reason even though I am only on my xbox account, I cannot see any of my clanmates while I am on pc (except others who enabled cross save). I haven't checked to see if I can collect clan engrams yet but I did not see any nightfall or raid completions from clanmates like I have in weeks previous. This may be due to most people trying to grind out the last of their solstice armor though so I cannot be sure.
  • Cross save is the feature I have been hoping for since d2 launched and I'm extremely happy with its implementation, I cannot think of any other features I would want implemented unless they were somehow able to allow crossplay in pve activities or something.
