Faction Transfer and Crusader Title

#0 - Oct. 15, 2009, 10:31 p.m.

If I were to faction transfer this toon, would I retain the Crusader title and related achievements? I know that when you faction transfer a toon that is part-way through the process of becoming a Crusader, it resets everything on them, but I haven't read anything that specifies what happens to a Crusader.

Looking for confirmation by a blue here, since I probably won't transfer this toon if I have to do the whole process over again on her.... 3 other toons right now is enough!

Thanks :)

No. All quest lines, achievements, and titles associated with the Argent Tournament will be reset as a result of the Faction Change process. This includes the Crusader title. :)

It's actually a technical restriction:

Q u o t e:
Simply put, while it was not a decision we enjoyed making, due to the way the Argent Tournament functions it was not feasible on a technical level to properly switch progress between factions. I am sorry we were unable to offer a better solution.

Q u o t e:
I'm afraid you're not going to get much of a technical answer from me as I am not responsible for the database. I will say that it's quite obvious we are aware of the ability to link as you mention, as it occurs in many situations in the faction transfer process itself. It has to do with the way the Argent Tournament's system was created. There is more at work than what is readily apparent, and upon reviewing the situation with those in charge of the faction transfer, it wasn't deemed feasible currently.

It was a regrettable decision (and yes, it was a decision made prior to the Faction Change service going live) but were it as simple as the other clear links made in the process, it would have been done.
