Account Transfer Question

[xMarvin732]

Hello Guys i have one question^^

I heard Warframe comes out for Switch and i guess theres going to be a Limited Account Transfer from PC to Switch for it aswell same when it happend for the PS4 and Xbox One.

What happens at a Account Transfer? Is everything gone to the console then or is it cloned and on the console and still available on the PC ?
Since i never did that i thought i ask.

Thanks in Advance

iirc, it's not so much as transfer as being able to play using the same account on pc and switch. so if you 'transfer' to switch from pc, you can still play the same account on the pc.....it's basically account sharing

i believe its cloned so that you are still able to play on pc as well as switch/ps4/xb1 but i could be wrong the last transfers were quite a long time ago so my memory could be wrong.

For the consoles it was a clone. U basically copy your PC account and after that point both the account has no relation to each other and played separately. This probably will be the case for the Switch as well.

It's a clone. It just doesn't copy certain things (IE Excalibur Prime) over.

Awesome!
Thanks for the Answer Guys 🙂 
Will think about transfer/cloning it to the Console 🙂
Having Warframe on the switch is always a good to go thing 😂
And having actually warframe on the console is a Dream 😂

but for the switch version, there is still the possibility that we get something else: Crossplay or Crosssave, where you can either play with people on PC or at least use the same account on both platforms.

I would say goodbye reallife and welcome Warframe xD

but console is most of the time a few patches behind and since they need to go through cert with every update, they use the pc version as kind of a testing field for the console players. so they "only" need to port it (since they aint such a big studio which could effort a seperate developement team just for console to keep them up with the pc version)

Excal Prime? Probably because people who started on PS4 had no way to obtain him so it would be a bit "unfair" towards them but I personally wouldn't be bothered by it.

No i mean with the transfer to switch ^^ if it would be cloning and having the account from PC and Switch at the same time , it would be unfair towards PS4 and XBox one players aswell.
I am already for the Switch release 🙂 I need to prepare myself for the next unvaulting ^^
