(XBOX)NnH Kairyu

My friends and I gave up trying to play on the 22nd and 23rd, because one or more of us would get kicked from the game after the first mission. We would load in, play one mission, have to wait 3-10 minutes for the account information to save, get kicked out of the game, then have to relaunch the game and try to play another mission. After 5 or 6 tries, we gave up. None of us decided to participate in linking or merging accounts. So, I hope that the overall system is worked on in January to a point that it doesn't affect those of us that aren't even participating until the cross-save system is fully functional. We plan to wait to utilize the cross-save system until after we see confirmations that nothing gets lost, and everything fits together. One of my friend's concerns is his cosmetics, because of buying the PS exclusive equivalent skins to my Xbox Jade skins. Besides cosmetics, I also want to wait until I hear about what will happen to things like my rivens. I have over 170 rivens on Xbox, and 82 rivens on my PS account. That is well above the 180 riven limit. So, what will happen to them all since the riven capacity limit has only been 180 for the last few years? In the same vein, weapon, warframe, companion and vehicle slots. I've seen "Merge" and "Link" used separately, but don't quite understand how they are supposed to function differently. Which method would add everything together in one inventory? Are all of the slots added up together? I presume those questions are for "Merging". So, does "Linking" mean I play on Xbox with my Xbox account, and anything I gain gets duplicated to my PS account's inventory or vice-versa? In any case, we've been waiting for cross-play and cross-save for years and have been excited to see its development. Hopes remain high that everything will be flushed out and fully functional by 2026. Playing for 10 years, I've seen how long it takes for DE to fix any bugs that don't outright crash the game. There's still loads of them from older content while new content adds more bugs. But, again, with how important this system is to the continued function of the game, we hope to be able to use it without worry within this next year. Happy holidays.
