Port Online Account over to Offline

[mdizzbx]

Not sure anyone has asked this or if this even would happen. Will we Existing Online Players be able to port our Accounts to Offline since its still the same game with no purchases to make?

It's mentioned on the website.

"User Data from the currently available Megaman X Dive cannot be transferred to this version."

looks like goodbye game to me

This being Offline with I assume no microtransactions, you'll probably be able to unlock what you had in Online in a reasonably short amount of time, but if not, I'm sure 100% unlock save files will be available pretty quickly

The game is made in unity so it's going to probably be very moddable, and I wouldn't be surprised if save editors come out pretty quick. I'd recommend people keep screenshot records of their progress if they really insist on recreating their save data with a save editor.

i would also like to know if our characters come over

As mentioned by Blu Hedgie it's confirmed on the X DiVE Offline main website that there's no native support for carrying over progression/save data from any Online version. To put it simply, it's an entirely new version of the game with its own progression. If you want to carry your progression over, you'll need to recreate your save using a save editor whenever one becomes available.

Its just a VERY ♥♥♥♥♥♥ way of CapCom to milk the game EVEN FURTHER but in a bad way... the price for the game is ok but what you get is just an INSULT if you played the Online version... especially since Cameo / Crossover Characters WONT be included <.<

Despite the game being pretty similar to online, it's inner workings aren't the same. Even the way the assets are encrypted is different. The way some stats and power levels scalate, the rewards for beating stages and even the way the story mode is structured is also a bit different.

If there was no Offline version, you would still lose all of your progress anyway (as someone who already played quite some online games that hit EoS, I can confirm that this is how it usually goes) . So althrough it's still a bummer you can't bridge your progress, I don't see how that's a deal breaker.

And as other people said above, eventually there will be more tools and mods to accelerate your progression/customize savedata, if that's really so important to you.

Do I need to dust off my rant regarding entitlement again?

Nobody is milking anything. Anybody who paid money in to the online version received what they agreed to purchase. For the additional cost of what amounts to about three 10-pulls, you get full access to everything minus crossover characters and multiplayer functionality.

Crossover characters weren't ported over because IP licensing is far more complicated than most armchair amateur copyright lawyers here want to believe or understand.

Multiplayer was likely left out for similar reasons.

The only way to construe this as an insult from CapCom is by willfully misunderstanding how commerce works.

All of this. And honestly, as someone that has played a plethora of gacha games, the progress you can make in this game in a few hours would take months on the online version, at least. Even if you "lost" your online progress, aside from collaboration characters, you'd get probably all your stuff back and be even stronger in a day or two.

I honestly don't even understand where the whole "I deserve compensation!" and "This is an insult!" mindset even came from. I mean, most other remake/remasters/rereleases generally don't support existing save data in the new version. I am personally aware of a grand total of once it's ever happened, and that's with the Borderlands 1 remaster which allowed you to import your old save. So with it being such a rare and unusual thing, why are there so many people acting like they're getting ripped off in this case? X DiVE Offline is so fundamentally different that I can't even begin to imagine how save data compatibility between versions would even work, and that's not even getting into the whole problem of how you would receive your save data from the online server to use in the Offline version to begin with.

It's the "Who Moved My Cheese" principle, basically. This isn't a new foible of human psychology, but with the advent and proliferation of communications technology and social media (such as forums like this), the visible proliferation of this problem has reached unprecedented levels.

I'll extend an olive branch to those feeling shafted by the incompatibility of progress between the online and offline versions of X Dive. Yes, losing the results of time and money spent on an endeavor bites, and bites hard. Ask me how I still feel about WildStar, Marvel Heroes, TERA, Kritika GLOBAL, or a host of other titles I currently have nothing to show for my expenditures other than marginally fond memories laced with unresolved frustration. Nobody likes losing a sunk cost.

All of that said, and as I've stated before, I've learned that spending isn't the same as investing, especially under the games-as-service revenue model. The bad news is that this means companies don't owe you anything other than what they put in their service agreement. The good news is that you don't owe them anything beyond that either.

Money talks, whining walks. If you're really unhappy, vote with your wallet, and leave it at that. It's the most intelligent and efficient use of whatever agency you have.

I suppose a part of my confusion comes from my particular background. I've always known that the servers for online games can't last forever and that any money spent on them is being spent on something temporary. Even aside from servers going offline, you can lose everything because of something like a permaban on your account or your account getting hacked.

Even with offline single player games, I've become very used to the idea of starting progress over. Not every game gives you multiple save slots, so I've had to manually delete my own data to replay through games all my life, and I'm very accustomed to starting over when I purchase newer versions of games. I also often start new files on games that do give you multiple save slots. It's normal and expected for me, so when I see people acting as though this is some kind of outrage it comes off as very odd to me.

I'll be honest, you can buy basically any character you want after a couple hours play, not just one but a substantial assortment. Give it a few hours more and every seasonal event char will open and then you can get the endgame limiteds a few hours beyond that. And you can START with S Rank X and S Rank Zero in the first ten minutes. You'll be able to be further than your old account ever was after just a couple sessions of play or one good long session

Honestly this. Having to start from scratch sounded more intimidating than it actually ended up being. Less than a week to far surpass where I had got in the three years I had played Online, both in terms of story progress and character unlocking/upgrading.
