Paid character transfers from PC to console?

Rescorla_ESO · February 2016

I was a PC player on Day 1. Got a PS4 this past Christmas long after ZOS offered the character transfer service at the start of the console launch. I'm enjoying the PS4 experience and would like to see how TESO plays on it but I'm not going to start over from scratch. I would be willing to pay a service fee similar to what other MMOs charge to get a copy of all my PC characters on the PS4 server.
Has ZOS ever said anything about whether they would offer such a service in the future? Revenue is revenue and if they offer the service, not only would I pay the fee I would also have to buy the PS4 version of the game which is around $40 right now.

I'd pay a LOT of money to get my PC account transfered

Hopefully you're stuck console players we're already put at a massive disadvantage due to the transfers. V14 300+ Champion points made pvp *** the first few weeks of launch. Things still aren't balanced yet but opening up another transfer wouldn't help.

You best be trolling, there are plenty of Console only players at cap.

The console transfer was a special offer for eligible players and was available for a period of 30 days, starting on April 9, 2015 and ending on May 9, 2015. There will not be another opportunity to purchase the transfer.

I'd love to do this as well, but I imagine it might have been limited to the first time the PS4 and Xbox servers opened.

The reason is what happens if you have a character or guild with the same name as one that is already on the other server? This is why we can't use character copy for both NA and and EU accounts on PTS at the same time.

I was aware of that article. It was last updated in May 2015. Since then CP caps have been put in place so there is no longer a valid competitive gameplay reason for not allowing character copies.

Honestly though, why would you want to transfer from the master race to a peasant box?

Because this is not a master race game. Simple as that. They have turned it into something I would rather play on couch. I.e. casual.

Because PS4 is more powerful than my crappy PC and cheaper than buying a new one.

If only somebody had invented a ridiculously simple thing that lets you comfortably play PC games in your living room.
Oh, the future is so bleak... or not.

Myself and I don't play all the time, I have a full time job and take care of twins when I get home. I log on from 9:30-12:00 on weekdays and get in a good amount on Saturdays and Sundays and I'm at cap. If I can get to cap anybody can.

why would you WANT to come to console? We console peasants are third or fourth class citizens in ESOTU. I would stay with PC and your text chat, combat text, volumes of info that we do not have, add-ons, and just every other feature that has been denied the console community. Or you can do what the other transfers do and come to the forums to QQ about it after you willingly downgraded yourself to console.
Can I transfer my toons to PC?

demendred · February 2016

I laugh at the hayseeds who brought their characters over from PC to consoles, just to stop playing a few months later.

1. I've read from people who have played both that combat gameplay on the PS4 is more fun.
2. I can chill out on my recliner
3. I can team up with my son on his PS4

It was actually a duplicate of their character. They still have their account on PC from the time the duplication/transfer was made. Not too shabby if you ask me. I would love to have this option to duplicate my chars to PC.

@NewBlacksmurf They also said the same thing about "Any Race, Any Alliance" during pre-order period in 2014.

I'd pay to transfer from PS4 to PC

I would like a console to PC transfer too

to get away from egotistical pansy crybabies for one. Damn chat was full of sensitive morons. xbox seems to be half that.

Well ZOS has decided to add text chat to consoles so....If that's the reason...don't bother

console text chat has nothing to do with my comment, then again PC gamers seem to be arrogant ego driven scrub lords.
obvious is obvious. glad i left ESO PC.
seemed like every one cried in zone chat btw DK DPS LFG!

Oh the irony.....

So you are basically tarring everyone of us in the PC contingent of this game as ego drivern jack wagons?, yet you not only arrogantly blanket everyone but you funnily enough call us all crybabies too?

Again the irony

BTW you do know you can turn the chat window off?

What a ridiculous statement to make. There are objectively more minors that play on console.

Preference aside, the pc version of eso is superior in every regard.

For a change NBS and I agree on something!
/Cheers to you sir..

But then again ZOS avoided responding to outcries of people wanting Text Chat for consoles. Some people tried to say ZOS's response to text chat for consoles was a flat out "not going to happen" and yet it is coming to console..

Thing is enough people left the game or expressed their concerns enough to get Text Chat into console so I guess if enough people voiced out for another round of transfers it "Could" happen.. I do not want to see any more, but it could.. If there is a high enough demand for it... It will happen.

i always enjoy reading the pc master race comments on this forum. dont try to assume im calling all pc eso players ego driven jackwagons!
timd to time i go back to my pc DK chat with my friends and play alittle.
sad how iused to watch zone chat filled with youre no good get a life comments. you go die cooments after DPS LFG.
always seemed ESO PC players were trying to bellitle players. over compensating for something maybe?
If the shoe fits wear it! dont think i was reffering to the whole PC community i met a few nice and helpful players but the majority ive seen seemed to exuberate ego driven *** baggery.

sad how i got a 2 day ban for saying good evening to eastmarch zone chat being called a troll by 50 million ppl.
sad how i was perma banned for 3 hours by ZoS and accusations of me being a game master, BTW thanks ZoS for rereading chat after i called you out on that.
my eso pc experience- socially terrible.

Were you Pact by any chance? Apparently they have the worst zone chat there...I've personally only seen a couple of bad trolling in /zone whilst in Wayrest; everything else has been quite pleasant joking around - even in the starter islands!
