Should people who missed the deadline be given some option of a console transfer?

    Thank 30 days is nothing when you have a full time job kids to worry about and a girlfriend to take out. I hope Zeni is reading this I just got of the phone with Steven in your customer support you guys should give him a raise. this is after I contacted you guys through email April 9th 2015 after I couldnt purchase the transfer for my account. The person that I dealt with was not helpful at all and really made a bad situation even worse. After talking to Steven I feel better about why you guys did what you did but wish that you would accept a little responsibility for the miss communication that led to me (and Im sure many others) not being able to transfer on APRIL 9th your own deadline. 10 am on the 9th can hardly be called April 9th in my opinion. I only bought the game on PC because you said there would be a transfer.(not a 30 day transfer with 10 am on said day being the end of it)I even tried to purchase it that morning around 8 am but your system wouldnt let me purchase it. I said ok I will take care of this once I get home from work after 6pm. When I got home what did i find no PS4 transfer anywhere. At this point Im willing to pay for a code to just transfer the game I dont even care about the PC content. I really just want to be able to play on my PS4 with out purchasing a game I have on PC that I never really wanted in the 1st place. I know you guys can make this happen too. I implore you to do the right thing and let "US" have our console transfers


    This is actually a shame and I'm sorry that this happened to you Priest. IMO you have a pretty legitimate gripe and perhaps others fell into this same category. However the problem you describe is an all together separate problem then the one being addressed by the people in this thread. They dont care if they had to buy the game all over again as long as they can bring their v14 geared out character to curb stomp noobs and get a free emperor achievement whilst simultaneously buying up all the good market vendors and cornering them indefinitely.

    As a retired electrical contractor, I have offered many options during various phases of construction. Once my crew moved on... the opportunities moved with them. Point being, there is always an event horizon. Alas, that threshold of no return has passed.

    I'm actually in question of the ability to transfer anything at all. I cannot envision how this does not play out to an obvious powerhouse advantage with no hope of ever catching up, from ambitious console players that are looking forward to a new game on their given platform.

    PC veterans will not only own general gameplay but will undoubtedly control the markets indefinitely, with no challenger from the most distant flank.

    Everybody else might have glazed over this post but its pure gold. I would be just fine if they erased my characters, gave priest his 20$ game and gave us all a nice clean slate to start on. I hated the idea of buying the PC version and "getting to transfer later" when it first became a thing. I still hate it now.

    I see no other reason for causing an uproar about missing the boat unless you just want to be a big fish in the new pond. Its not about money obviously because people are throwing around buying the whole game over again and THEN paying 20 more dollars to transfer characters.

    All this goes away if ZOS didnt propose this idea at all... but oh boy could you imagine the shiz storm that would cause O,o


    Well the latest...we won't even see our codes until June 8th so perhaps there is much red tape to this.
    Once downloaded we link our PC account to the Xbox or playstation and somehow get the characters transferred from PC.

    The thing is, there are no instructions, jus
    There was ample time and notification to make the transfer window deadline.

    The ship has sailed.

    The original ship was supposed to sail at console release. They changed it after taking a lot of peoples money for the PC version. Shady business practice imho.

    That's not true. Ppl just assumed that was the offer and didn't check anything

    If I had a console, I would really, really like the option to change platforms now after realizing that the console versions might turn out to be in considerably better shape than the PC version. But I don't own a PS4 or an XBone, and I have no intention of buying one, so whatever.

    I have no idea why People feel that those who 'missed the boat' shouldnt be allowed to do this. How is it affecting you if people who missed the opportunity get another chance? Oh thats right its not.

    OK if they open it back up for you guys, then they should also open it up to give the loyal players that paid from day 1 right thru and give us more than 1500 crowns, 100 crowns for every month we paid a senche. We deserve it I believe more than you guys. We supported the game from before live and after. Like I stated back then we should have received a lifetime ESO Plus account.

    But that isn't going to happen just as it won't happen with you guys. So like me and a few others suck it up and accept it you missed the deal.

    What are you talking about? How do you figure opening up the transfer period again means youre due more free Crowns? If they reopen the Transfer period those who missed out would still have to pay the 20 dollar transfer fee. We are exchanging money for a service. Where do you get that you should insert your interest in gaining more free Crowns because of that?

    Prime example of someone that has no real reason for why players that missed out on something should go without but would all too much like to cash in on it themselves somehow if it makes a return.

    So this is only about you and what they should do for you. Forget the people that have been here every day playing and paying and never received in my opinion a well deserved thank you for supporting us from day one. Yeah you deserve more for not really supporting them.

    Personally if they did open it up for you guys it would be one of the worse business decisions they could do. No doubt they would lose players that did support the game with their cash.

    So this is only about cashing in on something thats unrelated to you. Forget that ZoS has given you loyalty rewards for subbing up everyday for the last year. But those arent good enough. You want more. You want money back in the forum of Crown Points so you dont have to spend more money.

    Considering it was plastered on the log-in, email, social media for weeks I'm going with no.

    The only outline cases I could feel sorry for are the people who literally couldn't get access to a PC for over a month, however you can still start over on console with a superior knowledge of play, it take about a week to grind from LV1 - VR14.

    People are definitely going for the either or options: "Yes, give them everything" or "No, they're too late".

    (I personally do not care about console, but know many who do.)

    I think it's only fair that people get the option to transfer from PC to Console (in the future maybe even vice versa), but this is only realistic if it's profitable for ZOS - it takes work>time>money to move an account from one platform to the next.

    For the ppl who actually got a srsy reason like Hospital for 1 mounth or wathever, Zos should give them a second Chance, if they can prove that they where actually not able to buy the Trans.
    But if someone just missed it? Well...

    the tiny window they set up for this will not blow over well when this game comes out,, ppl will be trying to transfer on xbox and be wondering why they can't do it.

    And the sad part is... why would ZoS care? They made their sales revenue on all the "inattentive" people that missed the offer. Who ever bought the digital download won't get a refund and whoever bought at a retail store will receive half the value back if they try and return it.
