UltimateNinjaWarrior Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Whenever someone posts a thread about moving their account to console, they're greeted with the usual "Oh, the builds aren't the same." and all that. Well why not just have the new warframes that they already have locked until the update for consoles comes? Simple right? Is there a flaw to this, because if there is, please tell me.

Shifted Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I'm sure DE wouldn't mind. It's Sony/MS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letter13 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) It doesn't have to do with build mismatch; it requires special permission from Sony/Microsoft to allow transfers, and they have yet to give the go ahead for more migrations. Without the go ahead from Sony or Microsoft, migrations can't happen. Edited August 4, 2015 by Letter13 Edited for clarity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltimateNinjaWarrior Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 I'm sure DE wouldn't mind. It's Sony/MS. Well why doesn't DE pay a hacking group to threaten Microsoft and Playstation with well threatening stuff and force them to accept all of DE's requests amongst all other games...

AM-Bunny Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 It's a lot more than that. The only option would be to delay the PC patches entirely too synchronize all content, fixes, etc. "Locking" content doesn't work because content on the PC side literally does not exist in the console data; consoles would not know how to process, render or display weapons or frames that have not been implemented in the console build, and delaying content on PC for the sake of consoles is something DE has promised they would not do. Also it's more than build mismatch; it requires special permission from Sony/Microsoft to allow transfers, and they have yet to give the go ahead for more migrations. Without the go ahead from Sony or Microsoft, migrations can't happen. The first - and only - time that migration was offered, the builds weren't in sync. In fact, it was one of the largest out-of-sync periods there was, because PC had gotten U14, with Mirage and the Liset overhaul, while console was still on 13.7 or something. It was quite impressive - PC players who purchased Mirage and subsequently migrated would no longer have her, but she was automatically added to their arsenal once U14 dropped for console players. I'm sure there's more to it, but they don't seem to be required to be perfectly in line with each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Build sync isn't an issue for migration, as you said.Sheldon had designed a script to remove/delay items that has yet to be released on consoles that were contained in PC accounts. In the end it's really just a permissions issue involving Sony/Microsoft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if enough customers make their wishes known they'll allow it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
