Transfer PS3 to PC

    It goes without saying that it can be unfortunate to abandoned a character that has been with DCUO for years. I can understand not being able to make a transfer with Xbox One. There is presently no cross-play with that platform. However, this is not the same case with the PS3.

    Now that Crossplay is available is it possible to make a transfer from PS3 to PC? And If not, is it being looked into?

    I believe it has. There is likely lots of technical reasons, but I can't give them. What with my simple mind. ;)

    It is not currently possible to port a toon or account from PC to PS or vise versa.

    Because: reasons.

    Reasons: technical.

    I don't know why people are saying it's technical reasons. It's because Playstation users are part of the PSN who wants to keep their hooks in them as a customer base. All their dollars have to be funneled through the PSN. They need players for their own social network (chats, mail, trophies, etc). They also want those people to become PS+ users and buy other games through them. If you leave the PS and go to PC, they've pretty much lost you as a customer. After hurdles and market considerations, they'll allow for people to crossplay between versions and platforms, but they certainly aren't going to let DCUO make it easy for you to take your account over to a non-PS platform.

    Can you use the same FFXIV account on both PC and PS? Can you use the same characters on both platforms? If so, I'd bet it's because the account is through squeenix and just uses the client to access it.

    If they did this then they would have to eventually allow for xferes to x1. They have stated time and again that accounts are locked to their respective systems
  9. Scarlet Rise Loyal Player

    Yeah it likely is considering how and where you access your account (even through the PS3).
  10. Scarlet Rise Loyal Player

    Yeah but this was before cross-play. For that rule to be unconditional doesn't seem wise to me.

    Maybe there are not enough PS3 to PC players in recent time to worry about making the feature. It seems the majority of players on the PS3 would jump to the Xbox or PS4. For me, the PS4 is becoming to similar to a PC so it makes sense to go to the source as well as the savings that come with it. Ex: Purchasing PS+ annually in tandem with other expenses in gaming is a let down.

    Note: I don't buy a system or a gaming rig for one game.

    PS3 or PS4 does not matter as you are tied to PSN. I used the same PSN name for almost 10 years now, ten years this year in fact.

    PS vs PC is different. If DBG slowly moves away from relying on PSN for authorization we could seePC and PS accounts become combined. Nut that would require some major work, not sure if it would be worth it.
  13. Scarlet Rise Loyal Player

    I know this.
  14. Scarlet Rise Loyal Player

    I am aware
    Maybe one day since many players may realize what I have and make the jump.

    For a moment I misread your thread title as suggesting all PS3 players get moved to PC.

    Either way, it wouldn't happen. Two different servers. Technical stuff (like other have said).

    I really wish we could transfer your pc account to ps4

    The real reason is because a ps players acc is direcrly linked to their psn...its not like you1st sign up at gamebreak and then link your psn to that account...if that was the case jumping platform realy wouldnt of been a problem at all.....so yes im pretty sure its technical reasons mostly....because on other crossplay games it realynis no issue to switch platform...

    Not possible because everyone's gotta get paid.
