You just took their word for it? Come on now. You only have yourself to blame for your frustration.

Maybe you should leave the thread and come back when you've calmed down. You've been on edge from the beginning.

Maybe people shouldn't accuse others of being a fanboy. Especially those who spent a lot of personal time helping the community.
I don't know. It's ridiculous. Both systems use it, I don't see why it should be a setting at all. I mean, I guess for people who buy 2 systems but why would it limit your offline play?

Not 100% sure. But in my opinion, should it matter?
If my home has a working internet connection, anything on that console that doesn't require an internet connection or DOES require internet but not Xbox Live services, should be working.
Whether it's my "home" console or not is irrelevant really. YouTube only needs an internet connection. It shouldn't be affected by Live core services being down.
That's cool, I saw that during the PSX thread but that doesn't mean anything. I"m glad you did, took a lot of work. But it doesn't really mean anything, regarding having one favorite console that you're passionate about.
My whole point wasn't this anyways, you were hostile since your first post.
NO, you replied to me, with the PS4 comment after I replied, did I mention it? I don't see you responding to the "might have to switch to PS4" comment (unless I missed it).

You shouldn't have to set a console as your "primary" one period.
You have been hostile from the start. I don't know how you could argue otherwise when the truth is in every page. You want to hear frustrating? I haven't been able to get my fucking chat working in my Xbox One since Christmas yeah over a month. I've tried troubleshooting I've been on calls and chats with XBL and yeah the shit still isn't resolved. Now I'm not denying the PS4 has had its issues and believe me it has but it has been more user friendly than my Xbox one I can assure you that. And you just come off like you're pissed off he's bad mouthin one of your favorite brands and I mean people have already said core services are down and have been. My point with all this is I have a reason to be pissed off okay and still I've not taken a hammer to my Xbox I've taken it in stride but you well you became hostile from the start with the OP and yeah you look like a dick for doing it. You said hostility was met with hostility yet you were pissed off about something from the start.
Not everyone prefers one system over the other. Don't know what you're getting at. I don't know what I would get out of one console being more successful than the other.
And I'm pretty sure I did, I mentioned you would have the same issue regardless. Maybe I quoted the wrong person.
The PS4's ui is infinitely better. The ONLY qualm I have with the PS4 is slow messaging/friends loading.
Also, read my first post (the unedited that people quoted before I edited). Was giving him advice, no hostility. Hostility was met when people started accusing me of being a raging fanboy!
Which, lol, I'm not. If the guy wan'ts to play it off like he was just "joking" when he wrote the OP, sure. But he wasn't, and his tirade could have been avoided with a simple question in any of the Xbox help threads.
I only asked because I have several rooms in my house with multiple consoles (bedroom, living room, games room etc), so in the eventuality that I did have more than one console, it'd be good to know. But as long as at least one console has that home console option, I suppose it's only a minor inconvenience either way. Not the end of the world.
REALLY?? Very friendly here:
Wow OK.
Maybe you shouldn't have an absolute meltdown due to the OP having an issue and using caps. Nobody is congratulating him on his use of caps, but you're the only person who thought it was worth derailing the entire thread over.
Nobody gives a fuck what you did for the community because this thread isn't about you setting up a chat. Get over yourself.
So it WAS set as my home xbox
Well, according to this thread that's not possible so it still must be your fault, somehow.

You act like something, you get called that something. Using the 'PS4 does it too' argument is like fanboy #101.

Why don't you contact Microsoft and yell at them?
Better yet yell at Phil over twitter.
Better yet yell at Phil over twitter.
You edited out some of those posts, and that was only after accusations, which anybody would get upset over. Nothing wrong with defending your name.
My first post was to warn him to cool down before posting and to ask before venting.
"Absolute meltdown" due to the op having issues"
My first post was so, so calm despite being frustrated having to read his rant.
But okay...
I didn't use it, I responded to it. How many times do I have to explain that. It was simple advice. Switching won't help if he doesn't set his xbox to primary systems.
Here is a recap of the last two pages of OUR conversation:
*this is your first time mentioning ps4, AND it was to my comment. Then I responded
then you responded:
By quoting people that have mentioned:
So I said:Ok now I wish I had gotten a PS4. I think I might be losing it.
so you WEREN'T responding to the person you mentioned.

Thanks for the help, you've certainly convinced me that I never want to own an xbone.
So it WAS set as my home xbox
I didn't edited your first post, you EDITED your first post. People only have to look at post number 3 and 4 to see what you wrote.. why are you now saying you were so calm?...
How do you NOT get why I started discussing PS4? People starting discussing PS4, so I started to discuss it as well?
What is asking if we're talking about XBL do? Currently I was talking about (rather, I was genuinely asking) if there was a similar caveat on PS4...
Is there?
Thanks for the help, you've certainly convinced me that I never want to own an xbone.
Yet I was referring to helping the Sony fans on here.
Someone mentioned they are currently streaming their video when XBL is down. I'm sure he/she could help OP
You're missing some of my post regarding "not my fault you didn't set your console to primary". Comes off stronger than what I had intended, especially when I had more to say in that post.
You edited your first post because it was backseat modding bullshit, but okay.

This thread is embarrassing.
Op vents at a corporation and people jump to its defense by insulting him personally (very personally as they viciously bring him having a child into it)
You should all be ashamed.

exactly.
Yeah, hence the edit. It came off too strong when it's not my intention and it's against the rules. I edited it very early on. What's wrong with that? You don't make posting mistakes? I edited it after 8 minutes when people misinterpreted my intentions (via text, which is unsurprising and completely understandable).
Ew, someone mentioned his kid?
edit: oh I see... yeah
This is just super frustrating. I'm not defending MS, at all, and being accused of just blindly defending them despite the legitimacy of the complaint is unfair as hell. If it were Sony, Nintendo, etc, it would be the same issue in my eyes. If you don't know how to work your system, then you're going to have some frustrations. That's a big part of what this community is though, is to help eachother. Coming on and ranting is perfectly acceptable, but NO one thinks the OP over did it? Am I really this off base?
My point was to highlight which parts were insulting.
Are you saying this is less insulting :
vs. what I edited and posted:
My point still stands.
I have no issue with you editing, but you described your post as being "so, so calm" despite your frustration...and yet you had to edit it because it was extremely aggressive?
No offense, but you seem to have trouble following your own conversations.

This thread got pretty weird.
That sucks OP. I never understood blocking off services that don't even use the host's network. It's baffling on a lot of devices. A certain other console initiates a license check for netflix for instance. Insanity.

You're still wrong.
"Are you not reading any of the posts that are responding to you? It's your fault you didn't set your XB1 as your primary, home console.
You can't do it when XBL is down, but when it comes back up, set it and forget it (you'll be fine if XBL goes down in the future)."
My full post, letting him know what to do and when he can do it (that's called advice).
Not to mention he stated "core services are down, don't know what that means", and I replied, are you reading any of the posts responding to you letting you know that the core services being down has nothing to do with it?
How do you come to that conclusion? The post wasn't overly aggressive, at all, it was backseat modding, which is against the rules, so I didn't want the mods to interpret that way and edited it. What's not to get? People were clearly assuming I was trying to backseat mod, and I didn't mean for it to sound that way. It was still a calm post, letting him know its not usually the best way to go about things.
Mercury is retrograde. Weird things happen when Mercury is retrograde. /s
Obviously this argument/conversation is going no where. Apologies to those who were offended, and misinterpreted my posts/intentions. Usually a very relaxed/calm/helpful poster, but I can see how I'm coming off as hostile when it wasn't what I meant to happen.
I have no preference either way, goodluck in solving your issues OP. Might want to PM the guy who had his streaming working while XBL was down, sure he/she can help.
Just one of those days I guess *shrugs*

Well, just got done yelling at my Xbone because of this stupidity also. And, yes, my console is set as my home console, but when I booted it up not only were my pins gone, but I couldn't use the browser, or random other things because it said "Xbox live is having issues".
Great, I'm glad Xbox live is having issues, wtf does that have to do with my pins? And what does that have to do with the browser? Or Twitch? Or whatever else.
I did the full hold the button down hard reset thing, started and rebooted multiple times and I finally gave up and switched to the PS4 so I could watch some Twitch while cooking. An hour later I come back to the Xbone and everything magically works.
I guess in your eyes your FULL POST, is less insulting. The same way you saw posts as "so clam". lol I never said you didn't give him an advise. I said you were insulting, which you were. The quote proved that. And that you weren't so calm, which I proved and others saw also. So I don't know how far you're going to try to argue.
I don't think I did. But then again, I'm biased because I'm me.
Like I said, I came off ranty. I know that. But you know, it was just the last straw. My little guy was tugging at my pants: "Dadda dadda" and pointing at the TV "Xbxxxx" (It's what he calls the TV), And the damn thing wouldn't work. Just really pissed me off.
"Probably isn't going to end well for you."
If you want to argue that this doesn't come off as aggressive, thats fine. I think most people would consider that pretty aggressive.
Enjoy playing dumb about something obvious to everyone but you, though.

The feels...
Definitely give that guy a PM though. Obviously he has it working or he's using some sort of black magic.
That's great, but I didn't, which is why I pressed post instead of backspacing and writing what I have in there now.
Which is the power of the "edit" button.
But please, the condescending tone is helpful, especially after I apologized for any misinterpretation of my intentions. It's a wonderful way to go.

I tried looking for some decent troubleshooting tips but didn't see much outside of checking your internet connection, or redownloading the app.
I would call either Netflix or Microsoft's customer service.

It does seem like a really weird way to limit things. I wonder if there is some app authentication thing going on maybe? What do I know though?
It's not really your job to warn people. Nor is it your job to convince people that they aren't upset by something when they are.
Regardless, this has now turned into a massive derail. I suggest all parties get back on topic and cool off.
Uh hes right in that it's a damn frustrating console to deal with often.... That's why my 360 isn't going anywhere soon.
Considering replacing the one with a ps4 every day. Got it for the halo mcc and to try out the beta-- That in itself was a disappointment
Media player can't even resume for fucks sake
Nearly everything about the UI is a downgrade from the 360. Clearly different people with different priorities worked on it. 360 interface , even though dated, worked a hell of a lot better for the most part. Is anyone seriously going to deny that??
I must admit yelling out "Xbox on!" to turn it on is cool though. Wish my TV could do that
