Does progress/cards carry over to other devices?

[Mummson]

I'd like to know if I buy packs on steam will I be able to have them on the nintendo switch aswell?

[DraX]

yes, all is stored on asmodee account, so if you will login somewhere else on this asmodee account you will have same stuff

[FFI]

Hey Mummson, we can't really talk about the Switch version yet. While the Switch will use your Asmodee account, we can't confirm that progress or cards will carry over.

& Developlor - well this stops me from purchasing early then. If you can't confirm if the Switch version or other devices will share the account, I'm holding off.

If they don’t let you carry cards over but you still need to open a 3rd party account that’s linked with all platforms, smells like a money grab.

Im a bit surprised that FFI haven’t decided this already and won’t give the community any details. So far FFI have done right by their community. It was a shame about the economy change but it’s better to get these kind of decisions early.

Now FFI have to prove themselves with a second big decision that will effect the players economy and the community need an answer sooner rather than later. If it’s a bad decision for the player, ie cards are not carried over, at least new players can make an informed decision on whether they want to support the game or not.

Personally I will be very disappointed if the cards aren’t carried over. The first economy change almost guaranties that I have to purchase the base game on all the platforms I want to play it on. (This has not been announced yet, it’s only my own speculation).

Maybe different economy in all different platforms?

I think they just can’t confirm details rn. I would have just left it at that if I were them. I’m sure carryover is something that they’d like to do. Might be easier said than done.

Blizzard and Bethesda don’t seem to have had issues with this... hopefully Asmodee can make it happen and cross platform play as well

I’m sure if they were a company the size as blizzard or Bethesda they wouldn’t have trouble with a lot of things!

I would assume they can't confirm cards carrying over yet because ultimately Nintendo will dictate that. I'm sure FFI are pushing for it, it'd be in their interests to do so to keep their customer base happy.

Switch has fornite, and it uses your epic account. Sony was the only one that had a problem with that. I doubt it's Nintendo - more like the developers building the switch port are a different group than the ones that developed the pc version. (This game is basically being built by contracted teams coordinated by FFI). Getting the two teams to talk the same language to import the card collection could add time and money to the project.

But I know I'm not the only one who would be likely to buy the game in both places if it saved my progression and card collection. (I'm not sold on the game yet enough) I certainly will skip the switch version if it doesn't though.

The makers of one of the biggest games in the world wanting cross-platform infrastructure and a tiny indie card game wanting it are entirely different things. Even Sony caved to the Fortnite juggernaut in the end.

If it was a technical issue I would have expected the generally candid FFI to say something about 'investigating' it or 'hoping to' do it if possible, as they did in the past regarding different planned languages and platforms. 'Can't confirm' to me sounds like negotiation they aren't permitted to speak about until it's concluded.

There's no way Nintendo lets accounts transfer. For every dollar's worth of content someone transfers over, that's a dollar's worth of content not being bought on their platform. They want their cut.

Heh! Maybe we get system where Google gets 30%, Apple Gets 30%, Steam Gets 30% and Nitendo get 30% from any version of any sold LOTR game ;) I know that it is ower 100% but it has newer been easy in multi platform environment...

In reality it is about the money and nobody want to another platform get money that "belong to them"... So somekind of compromise is needed to achieve that. All in all it means we have to play more if this will be multiplatform game because there are more corporations that would like to get their chare of the income.
