Catsmeat Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) Indeed it does not - it neither improves nor worsens the situation for full-destination players, except insofar as the new UI suggests that you may someday be able to choose another destination. That has not been in doubt for some weeks based on Biowares anouncements, but wheather we will have to pony up more money to do so is still in question in my mind. Having a timeframe is also important so I can set my schedule for gameplay. They have not answered another pertinent question as well which is wheather or not will they be expanding character slots on servers which in turn will affect my choice (If I am allowed one) as to where I want my stuck characters to go. - Oh and it does nothing to aleviate being hosed on the reward for being on a destination server at all. Had I been able to move I would have. Those who didn't need to move as they got lucky and were already on a destination server get a reward. Why the punishment?

Karquile Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 That's why it's better to accept "limbo" for as long as possible, and see what they throw at us. By the time the move is mandated, there could be more slots, there could be new rewards (let's face it, the existing Transfer Rewards were hardly game changers), you could get to choose where you go, etc. I don't have a full destination server, but if I did, I figure that means I'd have plenty of characters to play in the meantime. If it's leveling, well, leveling's easier on the origins. I assume it'll all work out OK. If for some reason people are forced to abandon high level characters for lack of space to merge them - THEN I think BioWare will learn what an angry playerbase REALLY sounds like.

It's true the rewards weren't all that great. It's the sentiment, or lack there of, that I and others in my same situation were treated poorly by the scheme they devised and then after many had posted of this issue only to be ignored by the Bioware crew save for a referal to the original anouncements that is so frustrating to me. That Biowares team could not even acknowledge that we were stuck in a rather untenable situation has really soured me to this company and its product.

ObiJuanShenobi Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Not gonna scroll through 11 pages to search for this answer, but all of my characters were created at release on what turned out to be a destination server (Pot5). Do they plan on sending rewards to ppl who were already on the destination server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they plan on sending rewards to ppl who were already on the destination server? Yes. The question now is when will this pet be given out? For some reason I think they will wait untill after 2 months of the transfers starting to do so. So transfers started in jun 14? so Aug 14th or later is my bet. They say the 7th ot 8th but think they will be delayed Edited July 31, 2012 by Emeda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterNosemaj Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I took the transfer when it first became available. Am I gonna get the goodies too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dosadnik Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I took the transfer when it first became available. Am I gonna get the goodies too! If you transfered to, or already were, on any of the destination servers before August 30th you will get the rewards. So that means yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eillack Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Can't wait for these rewards in a few days. The pet looks interesting and I think no one will complain about free coms haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blattan Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Well. we are well over 12 hours since the deadline. What about the characters that can't be transferred due to the Destination Server not having enough character slots? About a week since the deadline, a little less since the F2P announcement, and still no information on will the characters stuck in "limbo" (can't transfer because the single destination server is already full of characters) be able to get the rewards or not. Just sweep it under the rug, and hope people will forget about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydth Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 so, what is a Gannifari? I don't remember seeing them anywhere and I get nothing with a google search. Anyone know of any lore or even some images of adult Gannifari? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blattan Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 So I made a test character on a Destination Server yesterday, and didn't receive any rewards (to be fair, I did not take the character to level 10 - which might matter, nor do I believe that new characters were supposed to get the rewards after the deadline). Does that mean that characters stuck in "limbo (where they couldn't be transferred because the select destination server was already full of characters)" can not get the rewards now?

I would assume so as we are now 9 days past the deadline. It's over. It's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catsmeat Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I assumed only characters that got transferred would get transfer rewards. Characters on destination servers that did not transfer got the rewards as well if they were level 10 and if they existed come the end of the offer (31JUL12).

But this was information players were promised would be Soon™. And that was well before the deadline was supposed to arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyhm Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 if i make a toon later on will i still get it on the new toon if i have gotten it before on my others? Apparently not. I just re-rolled an existing toon, and since its bind on pick-up i couldnt email it to another character. Ive made the new character and nada. No Loyalty Rewards email. smh.
