Reguarding Character Transfer

[Downsouthwrecka]

Lately I've been recieving alot of different interpretations of what is going to be happening with character transfers,(When the NA servers come up) I was just wondering, if there was any way you guys could tell me how it is going to go down, detail for detail.

After all, I paid real money, and I think that qualifies myself for a real answer.

Thank you

There will be no NA server for the time being, live with it.

[Ghosts of Angra]

Char transfers shouldnt be allowed to happen.

It gives an unfair advantage to anyone that played on the EU servers and forces all NA peeps to play on EU if they want to keep up.

Im sure AV will make a last minute change to this and make it right:)

[amgineex02]

Fuck that. They told their NA customers server transfers will happen once they open up an NA server. Unless they want to do NA server 1 and NA server 2, they should allow NA players to transfer to the new server as promised.

[Fustercluck]

Will someone please show me the post where they promised NA clients a transfer? I have heard rumors. I have seen nothing. Transfers would destroy the server. Re roll full wipe!! Live with it. If u want to play NA1 then EU1 is your beta.

[amgineex02]

Straight out of Tasos' post in the News section.


"Players in North America are welcome to participate in the European Launch. The plans for US servers aren’t finalized at the time of this announcement. We will offer the option for character migration to US servers for N. American players who wish to use it. We have had people playing without problem from all over the US and Canada. That being said, our servers are located in Germany and distance does affect ping-time."

[Fustercluck]

Thats pretty loose. Thanks for posting it. I stand corrected. Its possible.......

I agree with the OP A character that doesn't get transfered with any items could easily make a deal on one server to sell all their gold and then buy some later on the NA server, then theres the base stat impedement the server will be faced with, maurading guilds totaly un touchable to the rest of the server.
If you still disagree there wont be character transfers because there is one server, it had exploitable issues, and this could literally forever unbalance a new world that has the changes implemented with the original EU-1 server.
each new server should have a fresh start, end of story.

You should beable to xfer your chars, BUT a month or two after the server has already been active. That way the other players have time to get on par with the xfer chars. When I played UO a while back, they did that with a couple of the new servers.

[mastergrubb]

I agree fresh start on a new server maybe with a 30 day wait if you want to transfer over from the EU server, give the new server a headstart for new accounts only.

So for another 30 days people will just be stocking up on EU-1, and if anyone happened to have got a city setup in that month it'd just get ran over.

I'm 100% ok with having to wait 30 days before EU-1 can transfer over.

[Monndane]

This isn't world of warcraft... you don't get "head start" periods. The people who bought the game yesterday and today are far, far behind already. The best way to handle it would be to create two servers, and only one can be transfered to, and obviously new players can choose whichever server they want.

But if by some miracle hell freezes over and there is a North American server released, opening it up and saying "if you already have been paying for the game, the server is up, you just can't play on it for a month," would be really, really dumb.

Long story short: no

[Monndane]

I'm sure you would be considering in all likelihood you do not yet own the game.

And why the fuck would you put this thread in the "pve and the world" subforum...

When the NA server opens up, North American players will be able to transfer their characters there. It's actually fairly simple, I don't see how anyone possibly read it incorrectly.

This isn't world of warcraft, where a level 1 character is lightyears ahead of another player, in Darkfall you have a fighting chance from day one. Leave the WoW mentality of "head starts".

[Golbez01]

Well... acid pools were exploitable to a very high Rigor skill. Invulnerable players can still be swung at for skills. Standing around firing magic or arrows at nothing gains skill.

I suppose that's our finished product? Then yes, allow character transfers. The acid pool exploit will just need to be a "gimme". I'm surprised it was fixed when you compare it to what I've laid out above.

Things will be unbalanced for new players that don't macro. That's how this will work. I imagine if you devote enough of your lifeforce to swinging at an invulnerable player for 3-4 days you can reach 70+ skill. BUT! If you "fix" those issues above then new players are left farther behind... lending support to no character transfers.

You're alll stupid and apparently either not in game or live in Europe therefore what you think dosen't matter.

[amgineex02]

Are you fuckin retarded. Since the start of the thread I've been pro NA transfers. I'm also not the person that started this thread you stupid cunt. Lastly, I've been playing the game for about a month.

How does your foot taste you fuckin twat.

I'm not in Europe and I don't think it matters.

As if all the people that got the game earlier then people getting the game now dont have an unfair advantage? NA folks should be aloud to transfer off the EU server.

[madgopher]

believe a good way to do it would be players could transfer up to there encumbrance level in back back,thus taking key gear but not instant cities in a bank.

[Copious]

Am I the only one that plans on starting over whether or not they allow transfers?

I'm going to take the oppurtunity to re-roll another race and check the game out from another point of view. I'm assuming I'll still be able to keep my EU character as well?

character transfers = carebear.

:-) A fighting chance does not mean a fair chance. It doesn't matter though Everyone can participate in European Launch including North American players. If some NA players decide that they want to wait till NA server to play, that's their problem. They will be left behind by the players with a lot more skill advantage over them. I know a ton of people are simply waiting for the NA launch and they expect it to be fair for them. News flash people. European launch players not only get their char transferred which is absolutely fair to us NA players playing European launch, but they also have a lot more game experience.

I admit I get way better ping to the European servers then I had originally expected but everyone that has played any FPS game knows that 40 or less ping is mandatory. The players currently getting 50 or less over us getting 150 to 350 ping have an insane advantage. While this advantage can and has been compensated for by prediction by a lot of good NA players (I am still working on my prediction) it is much easier just to rely on eye sight.

I am all for the NA server coming soon !! Hopefully !!

You people and your definitions of a carebear. You guys have no idea what your talking about. Watch the fucking show and you know what a carebear is. Carebears are bear (later weird looking animals) that want everyone to get along. That work together to stop the "bad" guys. No lying, cheating, or dishonesty. No one is angry or pissed. Basically they live in a utopia and everything is perfect. Alot of hugs and smilies on their bellies. Everything should be shared.

You could twist a lot what care bear means to be a lot of different shit but...

How do you figure that relates to character transfers?

Basically the care bears were like our religious fanatics, if you did not conform to their ways they would fight you and destroy you with their care bear stare and most times this involved brain washing and making you a better person. Care bears like the hard core religious fanatics are some down right evil mother fuckers. The only reason the care bears always won is because they would all work together with their care bear stare, lucky for us the religious fanatics don't work as well together.

If half (a guess) the server is NA anyways, what difference would it make to new players if the old characters switched over. Anyone new that buys the game will be a noob on either server regardless. If the game is succesful enough, EU-2 and NA-2 would give plenty of opportunity for start fresh.

I look forward to switching servers, and not because of any advantages over new players or because I hate the French, mostly just because of ping. My 175 would be 50 or lower.

The have told us that player characters will be able to be transferred over, but cities will not. Therefore, guild structure and world relations start over, only individual players' skills are higher than others, which is minimal of a difference anyway.

[ppsh42]

If there won't be a character transfer, then I might just stay on the EU server. I don't have trouble with lag. I don't want to grind up my skills and everything all over again.

[Rooks28]

Hate me all you want people but for me not having the game yet even though I want it I would rather everyone start over on new server.

[Rooks28]

You shouldn't have to grind skills what is the hurry.
