Can't copy characters to preview

loboguild · February 2014

Copying to owlbear works just fine, but characters copied to preview never appear on the shard.

thestaggy · March 2014

It does not work for me either. I copied my characters over 12-hours ago but neither of them are on the preview shards.

ploqthepok · March 2014

Same here.

harnel · March 2014

Same deal for me. I tested it with all five of my characters and not a one of them are copying.

vcek · March 2014

When i log in with my email, it signs me into a different account with the same email i made on arc. And it is showing characters that i made but never played with.

EDIT: when i log in directly into perfectworld.com/preview it gives me my proper characters. However, when redirected from arc it messes up the characters (probably cookies issue)

Having the same problem since yesterday.
Can't copy any character to the preview shard.

zardoz007 · March 2014

Any word on when this will be resolved? I'm having the same issue

Is anyone able to copy characters to preview at all?

silentraven72 · March 2014

I copied 3, several days ago, and they still aren't there.

atraleos · March 2014

I'm seeing the same issue. Can copy characters to Owlbear but not Mimic (the preview shard).

ninefingers222 · March 2014

Same here, cannot copy any characters to test shard, please fix

rishzoth · March 2014

Confirmed...same situation for me.

m3fan · March 2014

Tried copying a new one today. Same issue.

lking73 · March 2014

been trying for the last couple of days and same result as the rest.

loboguild · March 2014

Wondering whether this is just an issue for a minority or are really just so few trying to copy chars to test things? It is actually working for somebody?

sharn70 · March 2014

try last weekend , try today , still not working

arildan · March 2014

same for me! the copy doesn't work

panderus · March 2014

There are two issues here:
The arcgames.com changeover happened and was blocking access to the old character copy page, that is now resolved.
There was a required configuration change to the preview shard last week that rendered it incompatible to be transferred to from the Live shard. This will be resolved tomorrow when the new update hits.

Existing characters that were copied over previously should behave as normal. Sorry for any confusion or difficulties. I was sad not as many people would be able to get new characters over to the Preview shard as intended.

Sad Panda is not a good thing.

It is now forbidden to allow Panda to be sad. So it is said, now let it be written, let it be done.

Best part about this; it happened when respec tokens were on sale, now it will be fixed when the sale is over. Troll'd. Bad.

beckylunatic · March 2014

Um... if you think you're going to want to respec, buy a token (or multiples if you want) and sit on it until you get around to it.

Respeccing to test builds on preview is free, as many times as you want. (That was broken for a while but works now.)

The timing is a bit unfortunate, but I really don't see how it could have prevented anyone from taking full advantage of the sale.

dardove · March 2014

Just did a test and it is indeed working now.

loboguild · March 2014

Great! Thx guys.

lionmaruu0 · March 2014

my issue is diferent, on the new character copy page "http://www.arcgames.com/en/my/character/copy/nw" the dropdown menu to choose character cant be expanded for people with more than 8 characters, I was trying to copy exactly my 9th character but it just wouldnt appear on the menu and you can scrool down for more.

Huh, you're right.

To elaborate, the character select dropdown menu is limited to 8 lines of text. Two of my characters have surnames that cause them to wrap in the menu and take up 2 lines each, so I can actually only copy the first 6 of my 11 characters at the moment.

loboguild · March 2014

1. You can still use the old page
2. Console workaround: "$('dl.dropdown-list').width(500).offset({ top: 0 });"

Huh, interesting. I was able to search through the elements on the page and modify the width of the dropdown to get more characters to appear.

Thanks.

rhoric · March 2014

You don't use that page anymore. This is the new link to copy your character's over to Preview.

http://www.arcgames.com/en/my/character/copy/nw

ikuruyo · March 2014

That page is the one with the broken dropdown. It only displays 8 lines of names. If you have a character with a long name it wraps it and you lose a line.

They are using the same interface over on STO and its common for people over there to have more then 8. Result is that you can't copy any of your newer characters if you have more then 8 of them or you gave them long first and last names.

ap326 · March 2014

EDIT: Changed the width value by 500px to show all my characters.

You should fix this, Cryptic, for those who do not know how to do that,

valwryn · March 2014

Can ya raise the Character Select menu higher on the page. I have 10 characters that can be copied but can only see 8 as the last two are hidden behind the bottom strip and that is where my Rangers are hiding.
