Map transfers

[Timmys666]

Will there ever be a portal type thing to transport your character and tames from archos to gaia and back?

[TwistedKarma]

This was what was showcased in one of there streams a while back and the animated menu suggests as such but plans can change, I just hope this is still happening, but i think most of the efforts is focused towards fixing gaia and archos currently.

same here wanna be able to bring my new tames from gaia home to my main base :)

[TwistedKarma]

I dont believe you will be able to take tames or items, I think just your soul and stats.

[Timmys666]

oh man that not cool :(

i hope they dont, when they did that in ark it ruined the game, if u start on a new server, u start from scrach.

[Timmys666]

im speaking from private server standings or singleplayer

Why not just combine the maps? I feel they are too small anyway.

[Timmys666]

i mean in the end what would the skill trees of the other races be on archos for?

But you're not starting on a new server (edit: I guess you technically are since they didn't combine the maps). They advertised you'd be able to go from map to map with your character. I'd be OK with not being able to bring my tames and resources over, but as it stands, you're now playing 2 different games.

I have speculated they would have clustering at release, we now have the second map. I would think in another patch sometime soon we will see clustering. Only problem I see now are there are two character data files for your steam ID. Question is how will they combine your character data in the future?

I heard that the plan was to have character transfer, but it didn't work well enough to include in the release.

On ARK, I usually just used a new character on each server instead of transferring the character. I suspect you will just have to pick which character you want to continue playing with when they finally get it working. I really doubt there will be any character combining. And I don't see why you just can't keep both characters, that worked for me on ARK. Of course you can't log them both in at the same time. There was some other restriction too, can't recall what it was at the moment.

Yup will probably be like Ark in the Cluster way. The Portal on Archos is supposed to take us to shard at some point. And yes like Ark you can have a seperate character on each server in the cluster if you want. As long as you don't transfer over with any of your characters ;)

I hope when they add character transfer, it is only between the two maps that are linked in a cluster or for instance the two maps in single player. No transfers between servers with the same map, that is what caused all the grief in ARK.

Lol ther eis a setting thats called something like notransferfromfiltering can't remember meaning noone could transfer in our out of the cluster. You start new on the server and you cant transfer to someone elses server with that character. I ran a 5 cluster for Ark ;) Dnl has that setting too.

[Timmys666]

yeah there was an option to disable transfers on ark if u didnt want em. i think there was an option to chose if u wanted character transfer or dino transfer or both on or off
