Unable to copy characters to Tribble

kimera626 · October 2012

When i try to copy a character to tribble the message i recieve is " Character transfer failed. Please try again later." anyone else have this problem?

Haven't had it, but then, I haven't tried recently. Just to make sure, though:

Have you already got any characters on Tribble? If yes, does your Tribble account have sufficient empty character slots (for the faction of the character you're trying to transfer) to take another one? If no, you might want to try deleting one of them first, or if you have Tribble-zen, buy a few more slots, and attempt to copy the character over again.

If that doesn't apply to you, it's as the site said. Please try again later.

Sometimes deleting a Tribble character even though you still have open Tribble slots will help the copy process. Not exactly sure why, but sometimes it doesn't seem to recognize you still have slots.

How many Tribble slots are we allowed to have? At one point I had 4 characters on Tribble, then tried transferring another and couldn't do it. I'm down to 2 and it still won't transfer another character.

Could it be I'm using items and ships Tribble doesn't have or support? (like Fleet Tribble or the Heavy Escort Carrier)

I don't have character on Tribble and never been to transfer any.

Yup can't copy any of my KDf characters...deleted existing copies from previous testing, but no more copying for me here too. I attempted this several times while the servers were up for more then a week now.

Same here... did it once ... but maybe I'll wait a while...(having HUGE lag) almost unplayable

:EDIT There is nothing wrong ... except for the message... try to log in ... and you will see your char... I did

I had to ask this on Twitter, and the response I got was 2-fold:

1) You may have to delete an old version(s) of the character to see if that solves it.

2) Make sure you're signed out of the game (and by that, I assume out of the launcher even) when you attempt the transfer.

Aside from that, I don't know what it could be.

yeah I've been having this issue as well, can copy over to redshirt but not to tribble. Was going to update with newer versions of my characters.

I am signed out of the launcher, when attempting to copy my KDF characters. Still no luck.

In the past, Tribble used to let you copy multiple characters to Tribble, and if one existed on Tribble - would just append a 1 or 2, etc. to the name of the copied character, which it would have when you logged into Tribble.

It appears they changed that policy, and now if you try to copy the same character more then once (or have an earlier version copy of said character already on Tribble); yhou'll get the 'copy failed' message.

I suspect they did this to keep people from constantly recopying alts with stacks of usable commodities and Doffs back when they started testing Season 6 on Tribble to prevent players from skewing Starbase tier progression data - but that's just a guess.

nope for me it's all character transfers error out.

I have been having trouble for a while now, you think they would have fixed this before they had a test weekend.:rolleyes:

Apparently, Branflakes also had some trouble, so they could be aware of it.

Edit: for those who didn't purchace extra character slots, you are limited to 1 klingon and 1 fed toon on tribble.
