2023 and still no account migration

[Ocean Star]

2013 is when this game came out and DE still cant give us account migration cross play is just the bare minimum other game both on a HUGE scale and a smaller one do it with no issue what so ever but this is just chocked up to just lazy Devs not wanting to put in the effort of migrating

Do you even know the problems with the account migration to begin with?

With the danger of going off-topic, do you happen to know a good video or article on the difficulties of doing account migration? In my head, account migration is just like wrapping a bunch of data from one format to another, so I am curious how the reality of it actually looks like.

I do not and I do not claim to be an expert either but, just moving that data from one platform to another isn't all that needs to be done. Heck that is EASY part. It is the verification of the account, changing the account to be viable for the infrastructure of the platform and a whole lot of data related matters.

I just know that it isn't as easy as people claim it to be. These types of matters ARE NEVER as simple as many would like to believe. Not to mention if the amount of people who want to do the migration is big, it's going to take a while. What comes on cross platform... Well, that unfortunately isn't really in DEs hands that much. As all 3 companies have to agree,

to the rules DE would impose. To put it in simple term: Money.

I wonder how everybody that cries about account migration will react when they will loose all those platform specific things they gathered over time.

[LiDDeRz]

There are so many factors at play with things inside the game not just technical issues but economy and other similar things that could go crazy with a merge like that, I wouldn't be surprised if it never happened.

in defense of op, every time they release the game on a new platform they do account migrations. so they do know how to do it and have done it at least 3 times before. I am a little salty my self having to start over on pc ngl.

As the devs have already stated that it's easy to mess up with this stuff, so if you don't want to suddenly lose your account during migration, you'd better wait till they figure things out. They ARE actively working on a cross-save feature after they released cross-platform. So be sure that it is coming, it just needs fine-tuning and testing.

Account migration is already set up, they just havent brought it to live. They are working on a few different things which include items going missing post migration and the issue of imbalance of the value of items between the platforms. Meaning you could buy items on platform 1 then migrate and make a profit on platform 2. Lastly they are also held back by Sony due to legal reasons on their platform with sales.

That's a valid take until you realize they have had a migration feature for both PC -> xbox/ps4 years ago before they removed the feature. I am sure they have already worked out most kinks and is just being held for a Holiday release window. We all know DE cross-save will most likely still not release in a bug free state and things won't transfer correctly.

With the PS5 now existing, pretty sure there are changes to both PS4 and PS5 by now which will complicate things, as it is case with all technology. That changes will be made over time. They might have solved the kinks back then but, now. There probably are more. Biggest problem is the business side of this whole arrangement.

Perhaps you mean cross-save? Well, the game does use Epic Online Services now since a little before cross-play officially was announced; could be its just taking longer to implement that element you think?

What about porting what we have from one platform to another? Say you want to migrate from console to PC, DE could manually (or setup a program to do it automatically) inject to give what your old account had using commands (surely they do have these types of commands due to needing to test things out) and then simply nuke your old account. I agree that is sounds super complex regardless.

Biggest problem with the migration of accounts is mostly the business side. Well, I was about to say Microsoft, but, considering that they already have influence for both Xbox and Windows. It wouldn't matter as much but, what comes on Nintendo and Sony. They are DEFINITELY going to complicate things, A LOT. What comes on making another wave of account migrations.
