Resetting account?

[Similar]

Some years ago, back when the base game was on sale for a pittance because the DLC was about to be released, I played it a fair bit. Then the DLC was released, a ton of things changed and I basically got so confused about it all that I stopped playing.

Lately I've had an urge to play again, but I suspect it would be even more confusing to try to figure out stuff from years ago (not that I think any of my gear is worth using anymore. I remember all my builds getting ruined by the changes. Or so it felt, anyway), so it'd probably be best to start over from scratch.

Is it possible to start over on the same account? (I guess an alternative approach might be to get it on Steam, but it's kind of pricey right now and I also don't know if it'd just reuse my old account).

you can make a new character on the main menu.

You can even create 4 characters. So why buy a totatly new game ?

I don't remember if I have any characters left from back then, but I also didn't remember you have four.

Anyway, it appears that Ubisoft has deleted Division 2, Assassin's Creed: Odyssey and some other games from my account. So that's interesting.
I still have Division 1...

Edit: Nevermind. I somehow have two accounts and I have no idea why.

Yes, the problem is also on Steam people create a second account forget the one and then write them games were deleted.
Is of course not a Steam problem or Ubi whatever,
Who thinks he must have several accounts should also remember all and on which his games are activated.
By the way, you also need a UBI account on Steam on which the game must also be activated in general, you also have only one UBI account.

you can unlink your steam and ubisoft accounts, and relink the one you want to use

Open the old ubisoft account with launcher, go to settings, scroll down, there is an unlink button. Then close ubisoft, start the game from steam and after you login to the new ubisoft account it should ask to link the accounts.

I can't remember ever thinking I'd need two Ubi accounts, and I don't have any memory of creating a second one either. Best guess is that maybe I thought I'd lost the login details for the first one or something.

Thanks.

It turned out I had two spare agent slots, so that should work out okay. It also turned out that, for some reason, the DLC is extremely cheap on Ubisoft (5 Euro), and I'm pretty sure it didn't show until I'd started the game. Not sure what was going on there, but it looks like I'll be staying on Ubi for now.
OTOH, I played for more than 4 hours without crashes. After I bought the DLC, it took around ten minutes before the game crashed, so I hope that isn't a sign of how it'll be in the future...

I bought it two weeks ago or so for not even 9€ on Steam with the DLC together.

And yes, many Steam players often do not remember their accounts and complain to Steam that they have deleted their games.
I have my very old Steam account here and also my UBI account which is also from the Disk time.

yeah, I missed that sale, but on Ubi only the DLC is on sale right now, the base game and the various editions are the usual price. Bit odd.

If you bought the game on Steam you should buy the DLC there too because normally the versions are not compatible.

You most certainly can buy the dlc from Ubisoft, steam only sells a key. Thats why you need ubisoft launcher to play. Now on the other hand steam will only sell the dlc key to you if you buy the base game key from them.

Don't cry if the versions are not compatible - several have already experienced this.

And you do not get a key from Steam I have the Steam version and have never received a key from Steam that there was once when you bought Steam Disk versions.

You dont not know what your talking about, there is no this version or that version. And you absolutely did get a key and when you linked your UBISOFT account to your steam account it detected said key on your steam account allowing you to play D2. None, not a single person has experienced your false claim.

If you have the base game on Steam and the DLC on Ubisofts platform, this works because I actively do this.

You can't buy DLC for a game you don't own so you can't do this vice versa.

This isn't what the thread is about anyway: OP you can create a new character and experience the game as it was. Just don't skip to New York because that will put you at the start of the DLC at level 30.

yeah, I've made my way to level 20 so far, and I do feel a lot less confused than I was when the DLC released, so it's working out (well, still confused about plenty of things, but I think they're mostly the same ones I was confused about back before the DLC arrived).

It's nice to be playing it again. Very fond of the drone and turret (since I play solo) and I'm impressed by how much work they put into the map and everything.
