Liquidacid Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 i have time? let's see...i'll be leaving in about 30 minutes, and will not get home until very late... only to have to wake up at 7am (like i had to this morning) to see if i could move my toon... of course, i couldn't... anybody that argues about how one values their time more than someone elses, shouldn't. why do you HAVE to check it at 7 am? you can check anytime at your leisure... it's not like you have a small time window to transfer after it starts... you are just making up arbitrary excuses... if you have the time to sit down and play the game you have the time to check the website first..

T-Assassin Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 you checking the page that lists server transfers once a day before you play... problem solved checking the website once a day takes the same amount of time as checking your e-mail once a day waiting for a notice ok...let me spell this out for you... i do not live my life attached to my cell phone...in fact, i pretty much dispise most, if not all, social media garbage... so, other than my computer, which is not surgically attached, i'm in the dark. some notice would be nice...just sayin.. i can set aside a few minutes to check...

Ranid Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 i read them!! did i know if my character was available for xfer until i logged in? nope. some people don't have time to sit around... I thought that was what people did when they played the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you have to keep checking? Fire up the launcher when you want to play. Link on the launcher sends you to the webpage. See if your server is up for transfers... If yes - transfer your toons, 5 minutes later you are playing the game on your new server. If no - play your toons on your server. Rinse, repeat.

Ranid Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 you sir, are correct... i pay and sit to play!!! not to search for information about when i can play. Yes but the above quotes are correct. You don't have to sit around and keep checking to see if you can move your character. When you log in you read the new news. Hey I can transfer my character. Go and check before logging in. If not there log in. If there move character. If it was posted early in the morning it will still be there when you get home. The servers listed will still be there and available for transfer. It isn't like you have to transfer your character between 7 and 8 am and that is all the time you have to do it. On the bright side maybe your server will be a destination server and you won't have to do anything at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasgallant Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 actually, no...i am not. my time is more valuable to me, than yours is to me...and i'm sure the same is true vice versa. is asking for 24hr notice sayin my time is more important than the next fella... if you say so. that's not what i was sayin. you are saying it is more important.. you are saying you are self important, and that you deserve to be told things that everyone else doesnt. everyone else will patiently wait till tomorrow to find out for transfers, but thats not good enough for you, ( which in itself isnt a bad thing) ) but when you come on here and demand things, like 24 hours notice because your time is so important, and you cant waste it sitting around..it makes people like me wonder why you even play video games in the first place.. shoudlnt you be doing something more productive with your time than wasting it sitting at a computer?

T-Assassin Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 1 reason they can not give you 24 hours notice is....becuase of a huge bug like one that crept up today... they were not expecting it and if they said hey you will be transfered tomorrow, and then had to delay it.. you would be here on the forums crying about the delay and THIS ^^^ is the problem with all of your arguments. i'm not afraid of the truth. if they told me 30 days, at least i would know...and i would respect their honesty. i don't need lies, manipulation, and half facts to placate me. stuff happens, that doesn't bother me. the lack of open honesty, communication, and tap dancing around issues is the problem.

Why not send an automated email to inform all the players who have let their subscription expire ? Why do you object when I'm asking BW to be proactive and inform us when it's time to move rather then the other way around ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yomitako Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 you sir, are correct... i pay and sit to play!!! not to search for information about when i can play. So if you don't actively come to the website, there is a big entry right on the launcher that says "Transfers are here, click for more info". NO need to send it in an e-mail, it notifies you right then and there before you even click "play". If you choose not to click the banner to read up on the information, then that's your perogative, not ours, not EA's or Bioware's. They provided the information to you in a way that doesn't rely on social media or having to go to the website on your own intuition. End of story.

Why do you object when I'm asking BW to be proactive and inform us when it's time to move rather then the other way around ? Because e-mail, according to studies, in the face of social media, is the LEAST likely to get read. With as much spamming as there is in today's age of technology, it's far more likely that the information will be read on the website, through Facebook/Twitter, and on the front page of the Game Launcher.

MaximusRex Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 How many of the playerbase are aware of that ? I know that most of my friends have no idea that they have to actively move. Its not like its a small window of opportunity, it sounds like these free transfers will be open weeks if not months once they are all rolled out.
