Please link Crown Store purchases across all platforms. (Consoles)

Hermanator · June 2015

I understand some of the decisions made in what's being allowed to transfer between PC and consoles. I would be willing to pay for some of these transfers, such as character xfer for people who were not PC founders.

However, it is completely unreasonable not to allow crown store purchases to be shared across all linked accounts. These are items that many of us paid real money for. I paid out of pocket for aome of the most expensive items on PC, then bought the console version full price, wanting to play on console only now. Now I feel that I have throw money in the garbage on PC crown store items, and it makes me not want to purchase anything on the crown store. You have the capability to link the purchases through account linking, but you do not do it. Why?

By linking the items, rather than the crowns, you would not have to share crowns across platforms, since a PC player could purchase an item there and use it on xbox or ps4.

I'm not going to repurchase the items I did on PC, and it discourages me from buying anything until my purchased items can be used on xbox. I believe many people feel the same way. Please reconsider.your decision. If your hands are tied by MS and Sony, please at least let the players know. I don't believe that to be the case though.

Crown store purchases are separate in the different servers so if they arent shareable server wide i doubt it would be console wide. It's a big stretch considering no game developer has ever allowed that with any game.

Buy Cod dlc on xbox and you cant transfer to psn. Same rules apply.

Thanks for sharing this insight about the servers. It doesn't change the fact that the later PC adopters who xferred to console were not able to transfer their characters or items bought with real money. If console version were available at the time of PC, I wouldn't have bought any PC items.

Why crown are just not linked to your profile?
You profile is the same on the forum, PC game and console game... I can say it still the same for NA and EU, but not sharable...

A bit late to this thread, but they should DEFINITELY have items that you bought on PC available on XB1, etc.. it gives you the option to link it to your account on PC. You will see the same crowns there for use, why should you need to buy let's say... 2x of the same pet? Obviously they have the means, this wouldn't be anything ground-breaking. Heck Bioware has done this with Mass Effect bonus items you could get them on any platform as long as you had them on one (I know, I literally had all bonus items on 2 platforms but only bought them for one).

I understand ZOS wants to make $$$$$$$$$ but the very fact that people buy 2 copies of the game from them and they ALLOW you to link your account and share crowns, should mean it also shares content so that you buy it 1 time.

I play on PC and XB1 (because I have some friends that play there so I picked up another copy of the game).. I've poured a lot of money into the game, subbed from release, have way more items than I need or use from the Crown Store and show my support even further by getting it elsewhere. If their systems are capable of instantly showing the exact amount of crowns available (and I tested this, I logged into both at once -- PC and XB1) able to use crowns on either and it will reflect the new balance properly so it's definitely linked directly to the same account.. if they can make it so easy to "spend money", they could go the extra step and make sure that we are not being nickeled and dimed by making purchases available on both --- even nicer would be loyalty rewards as well but not a big deal, but ya know it would be a nice thing.

You don't buy in game content with Microsoft Points/Money....... you do it with Crowns, the same Crown pool used on PC if you play on both. So there is no good excuse for it not already being implemented.
