Things ZOS hasn't considered

DonBoricua

I'm sure this topic has been brought up multiple times with no answer from ZOS yet. I'm one of the many people that didn't get to take advantage of the account transfer to console.

I was wondering, did Zenimax really mean to give a one time notice (only available for a month) for the console transfer given the fact that this feature is beyond important for thousands of players?

Did they consider that some people may have reading and understanding impairment? That some may not check their sing up emails as often as other people do? That as humans we meke errors or forget important information that we read?

Should Zenimax be punishing players for not being perfect?

Yes, i do consider this a harsh punishment for the following reasons.

- Players spent months of paid subscription working hard to develop their original character.
- Some loyal customers (such as myself) bought the game twice and have been supporting them since day 1.
- With the console release they split up friends and family to different platforms.

Would it be too much to ask for peoples (hard worked) accounts back and have everyone play happily on their preferred platform?
At the end of the day we did spend a lot of time and money on our original characters so they should be available to us correct?

In my case my pc doesn't run ESO properly so my character is stuck in a lag world that ZOS refuses to get me out off for making a humanly mistake.

The least they can do is give us the option to pay for our character transfer such as many famous MMO do.

Does anyone agree?
Is ZOS planning to give us an update on this topic?

They've provided updates through forum posts, and most recently in an AMA on reddit

http://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/39gv5r/the_elder_scroll_online_tamriel_unlimited_team/cs3cgnh?context=3

There's a lot of behind the scenes stuff they had to do to make this happen, and I'm guessing it was something that only made sense to do all at once. It's unfortunate, but I get the impression that they'd want to continue offering the service if they could since there is potential financial gain that's being missed out on.

Yeah but not every one uses the forums often enough to check.. and I don't use Reddit at all. When I took my little vacation from the game, I never looked at the forums at all.

I would say that another transfer option would be likely in the future only if the player population plummets. Right now ZOS are taking a lot of heat on a number of reviews for allowing transfers in the first place. So I wouldn't think we will see another round of transfers anytime soon.

Now if ZOS had not advertised this as a new version to the console community then there wouldn't have been such a backlash over it. But there a lot of console players that would never have bought the game if they had known going in that they would be playing against max level CP grinders as that will ruin end game pvp as it is for anyone starting fresh.

Why have 2 forum at all what is point to be honest this forum should be the only 1 and it should the official and the should remove Reddit and if the still want to use both forum the should post ALL info on both forum and not only one or other.

But personal the should just use the forum and ZoS should not post on a unofficial fourm as Reddit is.

Sorry, but this thought is amusing. Because ANY MMO you join, someone is always going to be higher. So unless ZOS designed the game to force players to all level equally, this is a non-issue. So in reality, those who wanted to power-level are mad because they can't race to be top dog and beat on those lower then them. I'd say 'those type' of console players I'm glad I won't have to deal with on PC.

It was posted every where even on the launcher so if you guys were playing the game and not by passing the launcher there is no way you couldn't have known about it.

Oh and no matter how many threads you make on this subject, you can forget it they will not do it for you. You are as we been saying [snip]!

At this point in time there's already players that started fresh and they already reached veteran rank so i don't see a point on ZOS holding out on the rest of us.

Given the fact that i don't have as much time as this players, they shoud consider giving players their characters already.

Honestly I'd be satisfied if atleast ZOS gives us a good reason on why we cannot claim our PC characters.

How about you just stay on pc?

It's like rain on your wedding day.

A free ride but you still have to pay.

It's the good advice that you just didn't take.

And who would have thought... it figures.

Multiple reasons that i mentioned in the original post. Mainly because of lag.

I rather pay for a character transfer than buy a $500 pc to run ESO nicely.

DUCKING EVERYTHING!

If your so upset by it, paying for months awaitingj console release etc

How is it you then were so anxious for it that you never bothered to check for 30 days?

I managed it and your 'reading etc problems' some of the rest of us still managed. Beforehand i can't remember such outcry, or during but AFTER the offer had finished THEN there's outcry.

It's like going to a car dealers and being told in 7 month's the price on model XLT will be dropping as the new XLTS is being released.

Then missing the promotions, price drops and complaining it's not fair because of X,Y,Z

Missing the boat for an entire month (especially if it's something you were looking forward to and anticipating) is kind of hard to believe, to be honest.

On the side note: People will always be willing to pay for transfers (either direction, I suspect). While not immediate (they have to maintain that illusion of 'exclusive/limited time'), I don't see them not offering something they can get cold, hard cash for...ever.

But at the end of the day the offer is still available at a higher price correct?

On other notes, so you're trying to say that everyone that was anxious knew there was an email coming and knew to check it often? That being anxious made people better readers and understand better? You make no sense. Don't think you read the original post

No, no, and no. I didn't agree for people with ill family members, or dying, or people that had to move, or people that are "impaired" so they can't read emails yet play video games, people whose dog ate their email, whose toddler poured juice on their pc, or whatever reason people give/think up (exception being those stationed from home)

Limited offer, you missed it. I am sorry. But I say again, if you missed a black friday sale, do you walk in the store 6 months later and demand the same deal??? Nope, because life doesn't work that way....shite happens and we work around it.

I am certain ZOS will at some point have worked out the details with Microsoft and Sony for future transfers. I simply can't imagine them not trying to make the most money they can off players and truly believe it's just working out details.(imo)

just so u know insightful = LOL ^^ this game was sold as play the way you want . So let people play where and how they want imho

They can. If I wanted to play console and missed the limited transfer offer....nothing prevents me from buying a copy on said console and playing there too, I simply missed the boat on having my cake while doing so.

And please (t- word mods will spank me for saying) away with insightful all day

Headberg2174

How bout knowing they were going to have issues with the console launch and still released the game anyway? Or that Megaservers are stupid. Why would you put all your eggs in one basket?

Hahaha! I couldn't help but to laugh at this comment because it makes no sense!

To begin with a black friday deal and the situation here are beyond different. Unlike a black friday deal I've already bought both copies of the game n put wonk n money into them. To continue even if i would of indeed missed a black friday deal id go the next day n buy it at a regular price correct? I'm not asking for a $20 deal for game n transfer, I'm just asking for d option to do it no matter d cost for if u didn't understand my post.

Anyhow why would sony care for a transfer option? I already bought the game for $60. Let Zenimax make some extra money like they're doing with the crown store.

And to sum up your first paragraph, i know u don't care. consider putting yourself in my shoes first tho than maybe you'd be able to leave a much brighter comment.

Oh well. I just started from scratch like a real man. and I'm already the highest level blacksmith on the NA server. LVL 10 BLACKSMITH!
