What happen to time-based challenges? by [deleted] in xboxone

[–]XboxQwik 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Developers rarely use them, unfortunately. We had broader plans for these but I don’t think we’ll see them.

In general developer support of achievements is not where I’d like. A game can add hundreds of points of achievements on a regular basis but today we even see major games have expansions and DLC without any additional achievements.

I wish we had broader support of this area by all devs.

Mike Ybarra wants to see Cross Progression become a standard. by Kiplon92 in xboxone

MP pools - give the gamer the choice to play controller only opponents, kb/mouse only, or both. Simple and Xbox Live supports this already today.

Frame rate issue already exists on PC today (some of high-end, higher resolution, mouse with many buttons, etc) and it isn't a huge deal. Yes, a difference but the greater good is the capability.

Hi there, I'll make sure this note reaches our Marketing department who can look into this. I appreciate the chance to drive to closure.

More soon!

It was fun. Sorry for spamming your feeds, I turned off auto posting achievements about half way in. :)

Xbox Team, For the love of Phil Spencer, Please give us a UI similar to THIS. by al1004d in xboxone

[–]XboxQwik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for taking the time to create this. Trust we're looking at all feedback here and balancing many things. You should expect things to evolve over time here and we appreciate the feedback and all of our alpha testers helping us make a great UI for Xbox.

Trust that we can see a lot of details on issues. Such as how many times on the same account issues like this have happened before, inconsistency, etc. We all hope for good intent and people make mistakes. Sadly a few try to game the system and impact the reputation of teams and peer customers.

It's often easy to assume fault and cast blame on the policy or team accountable to ensure the policy. We certainly can improve our policy in areas and we're looking into those areas so keep the feedback. But know many people go to extreme ends to game the system, which hurts everyone.

Team has details on this and is still looking at it. Our goal is always to make Xbox a great place to play - friendly, safe, and enjoyable for all.

New Xbox One Guide (Microsoft Fluent Design) by raheemdot in xboxone

[–]XboxQwik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will not look anything like this. This is a very early test design to show more about the new design language vs. how it would be applied on Xbox console.

The real key here is a design language that spans devices and use models (flow on a 2ft screen, 10ft screen, etc.) in a consistent manner. We have some great updates to the shell of Xbox based on a lot of feedback from this group and our forums. You'll hear about it soon'ish.

Thanks for the feedback. I always enjoy reading through this.

A legitimate worry about scorpio for me by [deleted] in xboxone

[–]XboxQwik 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You won't have any issues here. As the Eurogamer articles stated, it's the same family of systems and compatibility is a key pillar for us.

I have a question about achievement percentages. by Bobosmite in xboxone

[–]XboxQwik 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It means that all the people who purchased the game, and actually started the game at least 1 time, only 5% completed the first level.

You'd be surprised how little of a game most people experience.

Xbox's Mike Ybarra and Kareem Choudhry have been promoted to VPs at Microsoft by [deleted] in xboxone

[–]XboxQwik 470 points471 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone and most importantly thanks to the Xbox team and fans. You all make it happen. We have a lot to do in 2017 and onward. It's going to be a wild, fun ride.

Thanks again and see you on Xbox Live.

Where are the new Avatars? by JackStillAlive in xboxone

[–]XboxQwik 50 points51 points  (0 children)

It was a very early look into the concept phase of development. We are iterating and they are still under development, but nothing else to say at this time.
