That first one is hilariously stupid and shows the only reason they're inaccessible is to due to some technical/legal BS. You can carry over all your things, except the things you probably want to carry over the most.

Honestly, I think that closes the book. We're less than 10 minutes out from closing time and with things still being looked into, it won't matter much either way. Thanks for the effort in troubleshooting everyone. Happy christmast, merry holi day, and may your gifts never need grace the Walmart Returns Department.

Exactly what my plan was too, something to play during trips. We have another conversation going about this topic too that really took off, better than mine did in an attempt to gather some more information. DE has essentially pinned this down as a known issue according to the last message I read so I don't think it's going to be resolved until next year. You can read into the discussion we had here; https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1377652-unable-to-link-nintendo-switch-account/ I'm going to also advise anyone who stumbles onto this topic later to just head over there too, it and this topic both have some good info thanks to what Sans_Seriff and Tennovyre contributed. Long story short; they'll fix it when they come back to work in January.

Big ups for being the variable in this. Can confirm that whole web authentication thing that has both been mentioned a bunch, and is gone for some weird reason. Can't even access the Account Management in-game because Warframe's website throws a fit when it gets anywhere near the login credentials.

That sounds really unusual. The exclusiveness of Switch Platinum is mentioned on the cross-save guide, but Cloud Save isn't mentioned once literally anywhere. If it was really a requirement then DE would have at least name dropped it once. Not to mention some other data intricacies that would require information being handed off very frequently between Nintendo, DE, and the player. I've got a friend who does have Cloud Saves enabled so if she can get it working before the cutoff time I'll report back. If not, F this stress test. Will maybe just cross-trade sometime in 2024.

Signing into my PC account and trying to tell the website I want to link/merge/whatnot with a Switch accounts prompts; I can obviously sign into the game with said Switch account, so they must mean the website. So I try signing in on the website, and after it redirects to Nintendo, I give it my account credentials and feed it the verification it asks for; I'm not subscribed to Nintendo's cloud save stuff, but I did find this; So I'm steadily getting the feeling that something happened today that is causing all of this. There is no way that cloud save is a requirement for this because wouldn't that paywall cross-saving?

Stopped just after the intro quest with roughing up Vor and finishing that quest. Notably, my issues are completely parallel to someone who has been playing on the Switch version for a long time, as seen in Sans_Seriff's reply here; While I did just add the email to said account today to try and access the Account Management page from the Switch version in-game, the fact Sans_Seriff has the exact same issue with a completely different circumstance is making this look pretty grim. And no, my reply about Step 5 was simply from me just trying to login with my Switch credentials. Same email between everything.

Damn, glad to see this being echoed by someone who has mained the Switch version, I thought it was just from me neglecting my own Switch account. This absolutely has to be an error on either DE or Nintendo's end then. I tried 3 different browsers here, each with caches, cookies, and everything cleared out. Doesn't let me connect when using anything, and it's only the Switch logins doing this. Playstation and Xbox work fine as confirmed by some friends. And yeah, I saw that 'authenticate for web access' thing getting passed around a bit too when I was doing Google searches. I'm not seeing that anywhere in the menus I am able to access. If you get another answer back, could you pass that along here? I'm having no luck so far, getting the suspicion it's out of our hands, as players.

Yeah I am pretty sure it's an error on DE's end if I'm not the only one getting this. My friend is gonna be pissed who was maining on Switch. :/ 1-4. Done 5. "ACCOUNT COULD NOT BE FOUND. PLEASE CREATE AN ACCOUNT ON YOUR NINTENDO SWITCH CONSOLE." (What happens is it redirects to Nintendo for a brief moment before flickering back to Warframe and tossing the error message out.) 6. Obvious, posting from said account

So I'm trying to copy/link/merge my progress onto my couple-year old Switch account, but I'm not able to sign in on the website whatsoever with my Switch account. It doesn't even prompt me for login info, It just defaults to; Yes, I've tried clearing my cookies. I've tried different browsers, I've tried logging in through both the In-game browser on my Switch via the Account Management part of the Options, the Switch's separate browser. Nothing seems to go through. Is anyone having this problem? Anyone else find a way to brute force past it and make it work? Trying to link/merge/cross while logged into my PC account just results in;

No that doesn't work either, I'm having the same issue this person is having and I've tried pretty much everything at this point. Trying to log into the Switch account in any format (In-game browser, Switch browser, PC browser) just tosses a "Account could not be found. Please create an account on your Nintendo Switch console. " which both myself and this person have already done.

What happens to them? Kind of worried Loid is going to stick them in robots or something with transference since they were exposed to the void.

Maybe I'm just being impatient as the site is heavily slow, but I bought the Ember+Frost Prime Access in the past. The button was there initially to merge/link accounts but when I tried clicking it, now I'm told I can't? Is anyone else having an issue like this? I have a noggle of both Ember and Frost Prime so I know for sure I bought their Prime Access bundle.
