As Taleof2Cities already said, this poll is not only pointless, because there will never be such an option to transfer accounts, it is also biased in the way that it seems to indicate that basically every console user would like the idea of a transfer and the only reason why they ultimately wouldn't go through with it (if it were possible) would be that "it lags just as bad on PC". I can't speak for anybody else of course, but let me assure you that I wouldn't transfer my account from console to PC no matter what. Yes, PC master race and all that, I know that, not trying to say otherwise - but there are certain other reasons why people choose consoles over PCs (and no, most of them actually don't have anything to do with money or lack thereof) and I, for one, will never revert that choice. Been on consoles since the NES and will stay that way

That's what I'm hoping for. I no longer have any need or desire to own a PC and I certainly won't buy another just for one old game. I have an advanced PS4 account but my PC launch account is absolutely stacked.

Edit; heh. just noticed the wording. bidirectional transfers would obviously be preferable.

The issue isn't grinding CP, its losing ALL of your collectibles, everything Crown Store related, every chapter purchased. I care about all that, not levels.

The main benefit of console gaming is being able to sit on a sofa or armchair rather than a computer chair. At least, that's why I played consoles (during xbox/ps1 era).

Due to circumstances, I have moved on to pc. I do miss the sofa though.

You can just use a wireless kb/m and still play your PC on the sofa.

nah I switched not to long ago from xbox to PC and with all the add-ons its been a much easier grind then when I switched from xbox NA to EU that grind took around 7 days to hit max CP but I went all in no life during an exp even all gold training gear and 150% pots. But the lag and fps are WAY better on PC than they are on console and thats an understatement at the very least

Biased poll is biased.

ZOS said they're not doing console transfers.

Just like they said they weren’t developing a necromancer 🤔

This is true just like they said no on dragons, alliance changes, and so much more tbh thats why right here right now I'm calling it we are gonna get a dwarf race ✌

Where's the "no, I like my console" option?

I wish, I just started an account on PC even though I have over 1100cp on PS4. I haven't gotten far enough to judge lag where it would count so I'm not sure about that but I can tell you on my PC with a NVMe SDD fast travel within a zone is instant and traveling from one zone to another loads in 30 seconds at most compared to 3-5 minutes for either on PS4 Pro.
The visuals are also way better on PC. Playing at 1440P with everything else set to max and hovering between 60-90 fps on a fairly low end 4GB AMD RX 570 gpu (while impatiently waiting for RTX 3000 cards) and everything is way more crisp than upscaled 4k on PS4. Rocks walls, plants, armor, mounts, visuals from skills, everything has more detail. The lighting quality on PC also blows away the PS4 Pro version.

3 to 5 minutes? That's extreme and I'm pretty sure it has less to do with the PS4 Pro per se than with your internet connection. I'm on PS4 Pro as well, and even when I get an "unusually long load time" it takes about 30 seconds tops. The normal zoning time (inside a zone) is around 3 seconds for me and between zones it might take 10 to 20 seconds. Maybe you're connected with a cable on PC and use WLAN for PS4? That makes a difference as well. Although I should add that the times I gave before for my load screens were WLAN as well. If I used a cable - which I can't really because of the placement of PS4 and router - it would very likely be faster. So this is probably more of an internet than a console issue.

There are so many people making the switch regardless they should cash in on it to be honest. I’m guessing it’s a contractual thing with Microsoft and Sony being the reason they won’t offer it, as they could just require a name change for your characters when you make the change.

I made the change last year to PC having played from release on PS, and the game is just a much better experience on PC. More players means better trader prices, more competitive prices thanks to TTC etc. Add-ons are a game changer. And more frames than console regardless of the performance complaints, 30fps is hard to look at nowadays.

I have played this game on Xbox since it released. Please open transfers to PC, I would pay full price of game $60. This game is suffering terribly performance wise and it would be better to focus all of your studio resources on the PC game. Close console servers and invest in the greatest PC server.

Yes especially if I could merge them since I’m now higher cp on pc I would love to take my 5 max lvl toons from ps4 to pc and all the customers and crap I spent real money on

ZOS already stated that this transfer won't ever happen due to the amount of problems related to it: copying data from PC servers to console servers was easier because the data tables on console servers were empty when console version was released.
Imagine at this time checking millions of accounts from consoles, to avoid duplicating data on the the pc servers...

I don't think their position will ever change despite how many players wish/ask this...

better performance

Better performance? Not really imo. If you disagree I think you should take a peak at PC EU on a high populated zone (eg. Cyrodiil) during prime time.
