ED XBO Beta available to XBox One Preview today

Not sure what the new rules for Xbox are regarding such games compared to the old rigid 360 "penalty fees for updates". Given how "online everything" these new consoles have struggled to be, it should be far more flexible now.

However, I don't think that's the reason that a cross-play model has not been implemented. I'm not sure what the reason is though, because I thought it would be inclusive. Perhaps the p2p netcode is the reason thay Xbox players cannot be share PC/Mac seesions? Because they will use a different online system that Microsoft provides for the Xbox.

It makes the whole online nature of this game even more pointless if the entire player base cannot interact. Yet having said that, the 32 player limit also makes it no as big a deal anyway, since we PC/Mac players can't simultansously play with all of our own playerbase anyway, and as such this is not an MMO like everyone keeps misunderstaning.

I understand the P2P nature of the game. I did wonder if one of the reasons they were coming to Xbox One first was because MS may have offered Azure in replacement to the currently used Amazon Servers, but who knows?
 
Actually have a question of my own regarding the xbox one version. I know that, just like the game on pc, that the xbox one version isn't complete. My question to everyone...if anyone knows this. is the xbox one version up to the same amount of content that is on the pc at the moment. Meaning powerplay and everything? Do you all think the progress will get whiped after the next patch for xbox users kind of like the beta whipes on the pc?
