Transfer of console-created accounts suspended until further notice

Gaijin knows which accounts are located where, and is already handling our data.
When asking to unlink our accounts we are giving permission for Gaijin to manipulate the data gaijin has for that purpose which negates the laws put inplace to keep Gaijin from manipulating our data without our permission.

Tested and validated? From Gaijin? That would be a startling first.
But like any save editor ever made, simply make a copy, edit the copy, once you know everything is good then delete or store the original.

Gaijin has the manpower, they just dont want to work on this.
This automation should have happened along side the automation of the linking process.

Because those of us with linked accounts have to buy everything through the console stores, which the console companies take a cut of.
If they unlinked our accounts, Gaijin would get the full amount without sharing any of the proceeds with the consoles.

The linking process has always been automated… It wasnt that difficult, or expensive, that Gaijin couldnt make that happen.

This is funny. No one has ever said they should take a direct copy of the results and use it.
ChatGPT would give Gaijin a starting point without having to start from scratch and hopefully save months of devolvement.
ChatGPT is a tool, might as well use it.

And yet Gaijin only gains by transferring accounts from, at a minimum, preventing the console companies from taking a share.

Nobody here has stated they wanted access to the marketplace while on console.
We are here because we are playing on PC, but still dont have access to it.

Yes, but console stores release stuff days, sometimes weeks, after it is for sale on the regular Gaijin store. And console linked accounts can not partake in any of the sales Gaijin has as we can not purchase anything from the regular store/game.

Marketplace sales were never gonna make their money back, nor was that even pointed out. Where Gaijin makes their money back is from removing the console’s cut from regular GE/pack purchases.

We are giving Gaijin permission to manipulate our data for this purpose which, just like when we gave Gaijin our info originally and gave them permission to keep it when we created our accounts, completely negates any legal issues.

Even on console you technically have “access” to all the vehicles through the loot boxes. But unlike buying one off the market place the loot box may only give you a .0000000001% chance at getting the vehicle.

Either way you have to link your account to use your console account on pc until you have it transferred. Once you have it transferred you have access to everything normal PC accounts have. As a game master said their is also laws they have to deal with. I know a bit about IT and some other things that take part in how doing transfers work. Automating it will just make things a lot more worse. I plenty of other games out there that have switched to a automated process to do things like this the communities instantly complain about more of the issues or wait times because the system gets overwhelmed. The system Gaijin has right now works. Just they either need to get a hell of a lot more people dedicated to doing it and/or people need to just understand it takes time. Ever since they started to allow account transferring they open for a bit and close a month or two later then open within usually a year. It’s not the best but it’s a hell lot better than a AI system that could easily get overwhelmed and cause bigger fuck ups

could it open this year?

Could it? yes
Will it? most likely not.
The dev has already stated they arent working on this at all as they are all working on more “urgent” tasks.

how to transfer it?

You cant at the moment

Is there a history or something like that of when this service opened?

Rather than whether it will reopen, I am more concerned about how we will be notified if it really does restart. Will they inform us in the discussion below or send an email? It would be hell if it reopened and I missed it because I didn’t know—Jesus, suffering has already come upon us(

The only way we will be “notified”, and how it has worked in the past, is a new topic will be made in the forum.
The Dev kept saying this topic would be edited, but that has never happened in the past.

If you arent paying attention, and checking for it each day, and you happen to miss it like i have then you are just out of luck.

One thing I can’t understand is why I can’t buy sets (bundles) in the game the same way as golden eagles and machines for them in the research tree. I play on Xbox account on PC (console was sold)

This topic was created when the service returned, right?

One stay vigilant and two usually they make a announcement in the forums

Or join some war thunder discords. I didn’t pay close attention but a friend in a discord let me know literally in less than a minute of it being open

Did they open the system recently?

this tells me everything i need to know about this argument. “ChatGPT can do it!!” Disappointing how people think that AI is some all-powerful solution to everything, and that it should do work on a person’s behalf.

A massive oversimplification.

Yes. Because they have more urgent tasks? As said right there?
As much as it sucks, you can still play on your console. Is it an issue? Yes. Would I rather them fix that over the multitude of other issues with the game? No.

Track the post, and check your emails every now and then. I linked my account back when I barely played the game (when the service opened). There will also likely be an announcement in game or an article. If you follow any WT Creators, they’ll likely mention it too.
