Transferring Progression to PC/Consoles

[d1g1t4lp3n3tr8r]

TBH, I think R* won't transfer over GTA$ due to glitching. This is their chance to rebuild their online "economy". If they do allow $ transferred over, they will scrutinize the hell out of said accounts for money glitching, and I don't think they want to spend their money and time on this tedious task. Remember, there are no refunds on cash cards under any circumstance.

It's not a "transfer" if they don't let you carry over your full data, unless there's a major design change (example: no more apartment feature, etc) and which even so, they still have to find a way to justify it at the end of the day.

It is interesting that R* is even allowing a transfer...

 

I think if it ever comes down to it, I'd just start over anyways.

As much as I don't trust rockstar to have good intentions. All our online progress is saved in a simple save file just like a single player file and can be loaded in by a ps4 xbox or PC right now without any changes. So if anyone tells you that file needs modifying or having things removed from it...Id be asking questions.

 

I'm not buying or moving to ps4 unless its a 100% honest switch anyway so it won't affect me if they do get dodgy.

[MetalThrasherXtreme]

I refuse to buy the game unless it's a COMPLETE transfer.

Both characters, all their levels, all their apartments, all their weapons, all their vehicles, and all their money.

 

If it is anything less than that, no. I'm not gonna tolerate that bullsh*t from them, regardless how pretty it looks on next-gen.

[TreFacTor]

Everything is saved to the cloud servers so why would it not transfer?

They think their online characters are stored on their current system...shhhh we don't want to be logical in this thread.

 

Pineapples.

You're forgetting that there are still money/duplication glitches...........kinda defeats the purpose when they can't seem to stop them all.

Is it possible for the current generation, i.e. xbone, ps4, pc, for all pertinent data (random number generater, data integrity checks, health and damage for all entities (character/vehicular/weapon), etc.) to be calculated, verified, and saved serverside, such as many modern "hack-resistant" multiplayer games?

[Shaundi.]

Everything will transfer

[helresa]

I suspect that the transfer of the character will be a complete transfer, all money, apartments, cars etc, it's all stored on R* servers. To do this may require a small amount of processing as it may not be a 1 to 1 mapping with the save for the new versions, as the stats and other items may be expanded. Now there maybe some system that looks at the statsas they are transferred and red flag suspect items for a check.

[Johan]

Never crossed my mind that there would be exceptions.. progression is basically our cars, apartments, money,etc...

[Tez2]

All your stats

Oh Hell, if they take anything from what we have earned, expect kids ddosing and baseball bats outside R* HQ. The community is gettin' pissed.

[AgentBuckwald]

All your stats

 

Took some time to scroll through this and it looks like everything is recorded including vehicles, apartments, clothing, and cash. If they simply choose to carry over that stat file, everything will come along with it. Although, they could implement a modifier in the update which cuts certain lines from the code, but that seems unlikely.

[CrusherTroi]

Honestly, why wouldn't they let us transfer money? That's part of online progress anyway so...

Not only Multiplayer .

They got one for SP same as this stats file .

Everything even reports !

<stat Name="MPPLY_LAST_REPORT_PENALTY"          Type="u32"    SaveCategory="0"  Default="0"   online="true"  profile="false"   UserData="STAT_FLAG_NEVER_SHOW"  Owner="coder"  Comment="The last time a player took a report strength penalty" /><stat Name="MPPLY_LAST_COMMEND_PENALTY"			Type="u32"    SaveCategory="0"  Default="0"   online="true"  profile="false"   UserData="STAT_FLAG_NEVER_SHOW"  Owner="coder"  Comment="The last time a player took a commend strength penalty" /><stat Name="MPPLY_LAST_REPORT_RESTORE"          Type="u32"    SaveCategory="0"  Default="0"   online="true"  profile="false"   UserData="STAT_FLAG_NEVER_SHOW"  Owner="coder"  Comment="The last time a player took a report strength penalty" /><stat Name="MPPLY_LAST_COMMEND_RESTORE"         Type="u32"    SaveCategory="0"  Default="0"   online="true"  profile="false"   UserData="STAT_FLAG_NEVER_SHOW"  Owner="coder"  Comment="The last time a player took a report strength penalty" /><stat Name="MPPLY_REPORT_STRENGTH"     			Type="int"    SaveCategory="0"  Default="16"  online="true"  profile="false"   UserData="STAT_FLAG_NEVER_SHOW"  Owner="coder"  Comment="The amount to be added to the report stats (default of 16)" /><stat Name="MPPLY_COMMEND_STRENGTH"    			Type="int"    SaveCategory="0"  Default="16"  online="true"  profile="false"   UserData="STAT_FLAG_NEVER_SHOW"  Owner="coder"  Comment="The amount to be added to the commend stats (default of 16)" />

They set it as "STAT_FLAG_NEVER_SHOW" .

If Rockstar doesn't trasnfer money to next-gen, I'm buying a Shark Card.

Oh, my God. They know exactly what they're doing.

[RowanSane]

I voted everything. I expect that every transferred account will be run through a glitch detecting algorithm similar to the money wipe process after the billionaire days. Less likely but possible would be the removal of adder bonds and the like...

[sebcreed]

What would be the point of transferring without your money or cars?

 

Everything is going to transfer. You guys are paranoid as sh*t.

This

 

People are being paranoid up in here.

This

 

Everything is saved to the cloud servers so why would it not transfer?

And this.

[Gingy Eastwood]

While getting EVERYTHING seems high unlikely, they might allow us to take 2 vehicles, sell all the other cars for half of what they're usually worth, that way it's somewhat evened out, and the adder bonds mean sh*t.

 

 

On another note, as of right now, all the characters save to PSN/Xbox Live, not the cloud. If you unlink your PSN to social club and put it on another social club account, the stats will transfer, but the original sc account will have nothing. The only cloud there is is the clouds you see when you load in.

Here's hoping that Rockstar actually add more into the game. The story was okay tbh and the online was well, very poor in my opinion. The fact that there's a huge open world was great but the fact that there's nothing to do in this vast world isn't great. The online missions were slap dash and very boring, repetitive and just irritating. The character models look bad too, you can't see other people's tattoos so they look as though they are just dirty as opposed to inked up.

Those are just the tip of the iceberg that need to be sorted out before I'd consider even buying it again for PS4. The sad part is that Rockstar think that "Denser wild life" and "more wild life varieties" and "better scenery" will warrant me spending another 50 quid on the same game. REALLY they should be giving it out to us for free if we trade in our last gen copies due to the fact that they over hyped the game and delivered in hardly any aspects of it.

Heists? No. Casino? No. Anything interesting to do? No. Golf? Boring. Tennis? Boring. Arm Wrestling? Boring. Missions? Boring. The list will just go on and on. I can't believe such an anticipated game that was 5 or so years in the making was actually WORSE than GTA: San Andreas. Graphically it's great but when you're fighting people they don't fall down and lay there groaning like GTA 4. I thought that was a good feature in that game, the way you'd beat someone down and they'd lay there and eventually stagger off, it gives the world a living feel. The Gang members in GTA V are even two dimensional. "WHERE U FROM HOMIE!?" *Pulls out a gun to threaten you with* and then as you try to walk away before getting ganked by 30 retards in purple he beats the back of your head with the gun and all 30 of them unload their clips into your body, even after you've died they still shoot you which tbh is lolsome and I always laughed at that.

Sure there are great aspects of this game, the sharks in the water because they were always rumoured to be there back in the Vice City days. The random events and strangers and freaks, I was happy those were put in from RDR. However, most were fetch quests and they were not numerous or varied at all unlike RDR. I just don't understand how Rockstar have managed to go backwards from San Andreas. Graphically forwards but horrifically backwards game play wise.

I genuinely hope they do something spectacular with this game because I just don't want to see 50 quid go down the drain and me having to chase down a tight fisted company for a refund. That's all I'm concerned about really.

 

TL;DR: They need to add a lot of features into the game to make it worthy of current gen consoles, the game as it stands is awfully poor considering what they said it'd be and quite frankly I was bored and disappointed with both the story and the online but stuck around hoping they'd add in features they originally promised.

[Geisterfaust]

OP, good question.

In my case it's irrelevant. Yes, I have 2 garages filled with 20 fully-modded cars, but for more than a month I'm driving only my Akuma, Bati or Carbon RS.

Some time ago there was this topic about GTAO downshifting and I mentioned that I don't care about money with high enough rank and access to missions with good rewards. After last patch, that I hated for some time, it's even more irrelevant. Income distribution right now is pretty equal and everything is almost egalitarian.

 

Here is what I can't live without:

— Fully upgraded sport bikes;

— Buzzard;

— Fully upgraded weapons and my LSPD-tinted heavy sniper (pretty much connected with Buzzard, yeah).

 

No matter which outcome we will face, I won't be disappointed.

Money + property + cars = dream.

Property + cars - money = absolutely okay.

Just money is tolerable.

In last case I won't grind anything. It's a nice lesson for people who want to grind.

Everything, but I want to know if it is possible to transfer back and forth between XboxOne, PS4 and PC. Sometimes I will be playing on my PS4 and sometimes on my PC.

[MistGoose]

The reason for this is people who bought cash cards for game money and/or assets will be rather pissed off if it gets flushed. So it either needs to stay on the previous generation character OR everything be moved.I

I can reassure you people who haven't bought a cash card - and never will do so either - will be pissed as well if we cannot transfer our stuff with us.

 

Oh well, if R* don't allow people to transfer everything - I'll save whatever the PC version would cost.

[sebcreed]

R* said its a one time transfer. So it won't be possible. Bummer, I know.

[theicide]

I won't transfer unless the cars are going too. I've spent allot of money and time modding all 40 of my cars. I'm not starting my car collection from scratch again for slightly better graphics. I will stay on ps3 if I can't have my cars.

[blk95ta]

I think cars, pegasis, clothes, etc will transfer. Money, i don't know.

 

I think R☆ is being vague because of greed (yes i know broken record)

 

If they allow the money to transfer and tell people, people will stockpile money and less will huy shark cards after they go next gen.

If they allow the transfer but don't tell people, they may be more apt to spend it before the migration and then be more apt to buy shark cards.

 

 

On the flipside, if the money isn't going to transfer, R☆ will likely lose potential people that won't upgrade if they find out their money will be lost, so R☆ is being vague.

 

Anyone with any smarts who is 100% on upgrading should stockpile money, wait a day or 2 after it's released and then if money is transferred, great. If not, buy all the crap you want on ps3/360, then migrate.

[Don Johan]

Im not the least worried about money and cars not getting transferred. But since my friends dont have the new gen consoles yet I will have to chose to either play the game on the new gen without them or stay on old gen untill my friends buy new consoles.

 

I hope they will let us play on bote consoles before merging two accounts. They could either let us create a new character on the new gen and later bring our old characters, or transfer one of our two characters at a time.

I'd like to buy an A Vanna.

[Halal Cyborg]

I hope glitched money gets wiped given I've never needed to glitch and hate that other people have everything without having worked for it
