Transferring UI setup

[Hysterior]

Hello,

I admit, apart from the current login issue (that I know are temporary), this topic is my only problem with a game.
I play on both Laptop and PS3 (PS3 at home, and my laptop when I go to my friend house) and I have to spend time each time to change the skill bard if I leveled up on one side.

I really hope there is a way to transfer Laptop/PS3 bars and gearset
that would really save a bunch of time at each login ^^

thank you!

Greetings,

I'm bumping this thread to share a comment from Hiroshi Minagawa in regards to a tool for saving and loading settings.

Hello,

In patch 2.1, we will be introducing a tool that will allow you to backup and restore various settings.
* The patch notes for 2.1 will be released in the next couple of days. I apologize that we weren't able to do this in a hotfix ahead of time.

There is a gold colored cog on the bottom of the launcher that says "CONFIG," and we will be adding a button to this option for backing up and restoring data.

Local character configuration settings, hotbar settings, and macro data can all be backed up.

We've omitted system configuration settings such as graphics, the number of monitors being used, and other hardware-related setting information. The frequency for changing settings like these are rather low and in the chance the settings have been lost, it will not take much time to reconfigure them, so we decided that it would be more convenient to omit them rather than save everything.

We've also omitted screenshots, character creation data, and other information with large file sizes.

HUD layout information is largely dependent on display resolutions and we wanted to omit this as well; however, this is all included in the saved character configuration data, so it has been included in the data that is backed up. As we felt it would be somewhat dangerous to have an outside program process the saved files, we wanted to provide a simple, safe, and easy to understand system for doing this.

Please let us know your feedback and what you'd like to see once you try it out.

Also, please note that this will only be addressed for the Windows version first as there are aspects of saved data for the PlayStation version that still have to be coordinated with SCE.
* There are no legal or technical restrictions for the Windows version when it comes to the moving or the overwriting of saved game files. We understand the need for the PS3 and PS4 versions, and are continuing to look into methods to do this.

Thank you!

Thanks for the great news!
I frequently change from my desktop to my laptop so not having an easy way to transfer settings was cumbersome. This will make things a lot easier! ^_^

Damn that sucks, pc users can already do it manually, it's an issue for ps3 users :/

Please, please, please give us a way to easily transfer crossbar/macro/gear sets between PC and PS3 (and in the future PS4).

Playing regularly on the PS3 and PC, its a monumental pain to update everything when I switch platforms. Sometimes it takes me over 30 minutes to update everything if I've been particularly active during the week.

Please hurry with this for PS3! For a subscription based MMO, it's a joke that the gear sets, hotbars and other things aren't automatically saved server side like every other MMO. You say in another thread it's too costly to expand the servers but other games are doing this, so that reason confuses me when this game seems to be doing well.

If we have to use this backup and restore workaround, I think it should have at least been ready for PC - PS3 before release to be honest. I payed for a separate copy on each platform with the understanding I would be able to switch freely between the two. That's just too much of a pain to do at the moment.

Please get this sorted so I can play on both platforms without having to keep checking through every hotbar and gearset for every class
