Migration Poll

[Chaosphere]

Yep, fair enough. I know that is always going to be a problem with different amounts of time invested.

Like I said, I really only posted as I am currently playing the server and you asked for our thoughts

[Penfold]

Yeah of course - all comments and ruminations welcomed.

This is a very interesting discussion and here is my thoughts. (please no one take this personally as it is not meant as such....)

I totally understand and agree with bringing characters across as levelling up to 70+ is hard and very time consuming and the thought of doing this again for the more hard core players is going to drive them away. Not that I ever got that high personally I don't think, but character transfer will have little impact to the team playing in my opinion.

For dino transfer I had to tick don't bring them as I do not really have any on The Island personally. Also for me there are a great many things I have never tried to tame or been involved in with wild tames etc. For example I have never tamed any water based dino, nor a bear, nor even a bronto not to mention all the rest.... Now agreed, most of the reasons for that is I have not been around when it was being done or had the guts to go try single taming a 100+ rex and not felt I can ask for help because everyone is busy doing something else. I have done breeding but that does not hold the same fun, joy and risk of wild taming.

Having said that I also know that most of the more hard core players have done this, and done these tames multiple times to the point where they really don't want to ever do it again and I really do understand this. It kind of reminds me of wow and fast levellers getting to run heroic dungeons together, then as the other slower more casual players get to heroics, few of the senior players then really want to run them again because there is little to no benefit to it for them, so you end up running "looking for group" with strangers which often goes wrong and is far less enjoyable.

I do agree though bringing perhaps the most useful dino over for the help with gathering things. Ankylosaurus, Doedicurus, Megaloceros and Oviraptor but possibly not flyers, bears, T-rex or even Giganotosaurus.

I also would agree for kibble to be brought over rather than having to farm it so much so those who have not done the wild tames can do so but not take hours and hours to do it.

No, 'cause you made me spend several hours doing that for you at the last LAN iirc.

I also ticked not to migrate dinos over so I know exactly where you're coming from. Oldie isn't going to bring over his character or his dinos and although I'm thinking about my character I am thinking that I may not bring over any dinos.

The only creatures I would use are:

Doedy (we tamed one last night)
Argie (Have one)
Pteranadon (Have one)
Anky (easy tame)
Meglaceros (easy tame)
Basilasaurus (hard tame)
Beaver (Slow tame)
Bear (Slow tame)

Then a bear.  Basically I'm undecided as yet and keep changing my mind. The high levellers are going to be the crunch for caves and runs tbh.

I haven't and won't vote simply as I don't have a clue what you're voting for. I don't even understand half the stuff in this thread.

As a first time player, I'm sticking away from most of you guys til I get the hang of what is what. I'm barely level 30 with a few raptor tames and a small wooden house. If people want to bring over high level characters and dino's to do high level stuff then go for it. I personally wouldn't (what's the point of starting new only to finish almost immediately?) but other peoples choices won't affect me a great deal so I'm happy to go with whatever consensus is taken.

Enjoying the game though, seems getting eaten alot is my specialty

Does this mean I can transfer Albertha over from the Centre? Seems character transfer won the vote.

We need to minimise the work for the admins so I'm happy to XP your character up to that it was on The Center. Are you happy with that. I presume you didn't have dinos etc you wanted to migrate?

[albert]

I see your point, just a level would really help mate, and leave my crafting XP unused so I can allocate as required. Could do with any Ptera and saddle going, but in reality I'm trying to go it alone a bit and get something built but I'm losing patience.

What I would say bud is don't be too proud to ask for help, plenty of us on the server to get help from. No point struggling as then you wont enjoy the game.

Give a shout indeed, up for helping anyone out. BTW, don't forget bolla's for getting the Pteradon stuck and then shoot arrows towards it head, add meat and wait...

Hi Albert,

I asked and he is happy for put up The Center map for you to transfer your character. I'll start a new thread on this accordingly.
