I know it's not high priority, but it would mean a lot if you could pass the word that a lot of us that migrated to PC early would love this. It doesn't really make sense for me to take my old PS4 character over my PC one that has every exotic/day one raid emblems like some people on this sub have suggested. Maybe not a full merge but just something that recognizes the old D1 account linked to our Bungie accounts?
Aye, I'm passing it on!
Please pass it along that we are interested in this. Just the dialogue at minimum.
Aye, I'm passing it on!
Can it be something talked about internally at least? On the backend, what triggers the destiny 2 account to allow vet status?
It feels bad that when we were told to start over on PC and we would never get vet status on PC, where people are now able to move to PC with vet status.
I will pass on the sentiment that you and others in the thread mentioned about wanting this.
I'm aware that this is off-topic and that you may not be able to speak about it, but are able to comment on what's causing the delay for cross-save? I'm curious as to what's stopped it as it appears to be a sudden issue.
Ah, sorry: I don't think it's something I can talk about! But we should be up and running soon(tm)!
Read moreHey Edgar, first thanks a ton for helping to answer questions people have here. Second, the "account merging" option is something I had been hopeful for a long time. Not pushing it or anything, but the wording you use as "isn't supported at this time" raises some questions. Like many people, the veteran status isn't just some extra lines and some exclusive emblems no one else starting in D2 would get. It's that recognition of "you've done some serious shit in D1, now go kick a plethora of ass in D2 and take more names and titles."
It's understandable that account merging/veteran status enabling right now isn't an option, but your wording for "at this time" leaves a little bit of hope. I would like to ask just as a precaution of sorts, does your wording "at this time" mean "we're talking about it internally and it could be something in the future, but it's highly uncertain" or is it more "logistics wise that's man power being taken away from working on shadow keep a...
Oh, I apologize - I didn't mean to raise up hopes unintentionally! I actually am not in any of the discussions around whether or not account merging is even possible etc, so I don't have any exposure to or ability to influence that. I know that it's not something we're doing for Cross Save, but I have no knowledge (positive or negative) about the future unfortunately!
Odd question here: what happens if I'm playing my cross-saved character on my PC and then I try to start up Destiny 2 on my Xbox One? I certainly imagine it wouldn't let me play, say, my warlock in two places at once, but what about warlock on PC and hunter on console? I own two separate licenses to the game to cover both platforms, but I'm guessing your back-end systems wouldn't allow one account to be accessed in multiple places at once like that.
Ah, so the trick there is that you're going to get kicked out of the PC session. If you spin up a new one, the old one gets booted out of the server.
Hey Edgar! Quick question, if I enable cross-save for my titan who I have on PS4, Will i be able to play on both pc and PS4 with that character whenever I want?
Or is it like I move my titan over to pc and have to move it back to PS4 when I want to play there?
Yes - so basically what you're doing is selecting a set of characters that will be the ones you use on all platforms. It's a semi-permanent choice: you can undo it, but you must wait 90 days before you can choose a different one if you undo it.
Once you choose those characters, they are the only ones you can play on any of your linked platforms. So if you have a Titan on PS4 that you want to play, you'll need to choose your PS4 set of characters: at that point, you can play those specific characters on PS4 and PC at will with no further ado!
Hey hey any chance for veteran dialogue to be a toggle for PC players?
Unfortunately, the account merging that would be required to make that happen isn't supported at this time.
I have a question:
I already linked my Bnet and Steam accounts but I only have the base game on PC (I play mainly on PS4). Even tho I already linked my Bnet and Steam, If I purchase all the DLCs + Forsaken + Annual pass on Blizzard now, will they still transfer over to Steam once Shadowkeep comes out?
Yes indeed! No worries, the actual transfer of licenses isn't going to happen until Shadowkeep itself comes out - so in the meantime, all you're really doing is setting up the relationship between the two accounts in preparation for that migration!
I have another question, I don’t know if this pertains to cross play but is there any talk of allowing legacy dialogue on PC for those who moved over during Warmind or Curse of Osiris. Seriously I just want that I don’t want to have to go through literally every story mission in forsaken again just to hear the legacy dialogue on my imported PS4 character. So again is there any talk of any form about allowing legacy dialogue on PC for pc accounts?
Ah, good question! Unfortunately we don't support the merging of accounts that would be required for that to occur at this time.
Thanks for clarifying, Edgar. I have a question on the same territory. On PC I have just the year one base game + Osiris + Warmind and don’t plan to purchase Forsaken. After Oct 1st will that content be “converted” into New Light? Apparently New Light has more content (e.g.: free roam on all destinations, Forsaken strikes, Gambit) than my current Y1 entitlements.
Ooh, that is a good question! I don't actually know about how the New Light conversion works. I will ask some folks and see what the situation will be with that!
Thanks for replying to questions late into the evening!
No prob, glad to be of help when I can!
Yes thank you so much for replying this late!
Very good to hear. I purchased it about 2 hours ago and I am just leaving work. I will go home and sign in on PC so that it updates.
Thank you for the offer to look into it, I will save that as a last resort!
Excellent, yeah let me know!
I should have edited my post instead of replying further down, the issue resolved itself after about an hour! Thanks for looking into it!
Ah, no worries! Sweet, I"m glad it worked!
Can somebody help me? I'm so lost... I've been unable to create an account for months now. Whenever I attempt to sign up with my battle.net account and accept the privacy statement, the browser doesn't take me anywhere. If i hit decline, it takes me to an error page.
I've tried this on several computers and my phone at this point, including edge, firefox and chrome. I also don't use adblock. I'm so done with this site...
Ooh, that's not a great situation! There may be a bug in our process where it's not showing you the underlying error happening, let me check a few things.
What are you setting your Display Name to?
What is the email address you are setting (feel free to send me this via PM to avoid having to share it publicly)
Lastly, if you try it in chrome but hit F12 before you attempt it, do you see an error message in the window that pops up once you accept the agreement? If so, can you PM me what the error says?
What if Bungie.net won't let me link my Steam account? Am I just out of luck and can't cross save? Bungie.net just gives me a Cloudflare 500S Box Error every time I open the "Link Steam" window instead of sending me to Steam.
hmm, can you try it again now? We were experiencing some unexpected difficulties earlier today, but things should be more smooth now.
Are we going to have to download everything again for the steam move? If so, what is the plan for that when there will be soooooooo much traffic already going on that day?
Ah, unfortunately that's not in my wheelhouse! I don't know the answer to that one!
What order should I do things if I currently only have a PS4 account, but am going to buy the game on PC tomorrow to start playing there. Should I set up my PS4 account as my main account for cross save, and then buy and set up the game on Battle net, and then link to Steam? Or should I buy the game, link to Steam, and then do cross save. I have never played or owned Destiny on PC,but I do already have a Battle net account, for other Blizzard games.
What I'd advise depends on if you want to make your PS4 characters active... I assume you will rather than starting over!
Given that assumption, you should:
Doing that will make all three Cross Saved, and Migration will work seamlessly to transfer your purchased licenses!
Note that the UI may show you the wrong licenses when you link Steam, because if you haven't actually played on blizzard yet Bungie.net doesn't have a way of knowing you bought the game. But the licenses will transfer.
Dear Edgar, please hook me up with some knowledge...
I just bought Forsaken and Annual Pass 1.0 on B.Net so that I can play everything up until October 1st. the transaction is pending so when I go to link my B.net to my steam it only says I have the base game, curse of osiris and warmind.
Should I:
A) Link the accounts now because the system will perform a secondary check before transferring licenses on October 1st
B) Wait until the B.net/Steam link process says that I have forsaken purchased because that's the point of transfer...
Thank you good sir.
Ah, good question! So the trick is that those licenses will definitely transfer from Blizzard to Steam whenever the migration executes. The migration itself isn't going to happen until the day Shadowkeep goes live, so until then your licenses are still on Blizzard and you can still play there even if you link your Steam account: doing so just sets up your account so that the transfer happens immediately when Shadowkeep launches.
I have heard some reports of people getting the wrong game purchases shown in that UI, and we're definitely looking into them. PM me your Bungie.net profile and I'll look at it! (and in the interim, a question: have you played on Blizzard since buying the Forsaken and Annual pass? Our UI won't update until you log into the game on Blizzard as logging into the game is the only thing that updates our information about what you've purchased, which could be what's happening)
So yes, go and link the accounts now!
OK so this question might seem a little redundant but I just want to be as clear as possible here so I don't f**k up lol.
The account I'm planning on transferring to PC tomorrow is my Xbox acc, however, I own the base game on bnet from when it was free. Should I:
A) Transfer my PC license to steam right now and then move my Xbox data tomorrow?
or B) Wait until tomorrow, set my Xbox acc as my main one, and THEN move my licenses to steam?
Hopefully, this isn't a really dumb question I'm just a little out of the loop with regards to how this transfer to steam is gonna work.
Yes, (A) is the right move. If you are both performing Blizzard-to-Steam migration AND planning to do Cross Save, you will want to link both your Blizzard and Steam accounts first. We have a little warning message on the Cross Save screen that will come up for people who have Blizzard but not Steam linked, to let people know they have to link both and kick off this migration process before they can cross save.
