Question on transferring characters from one account to another....

So I have PVZ GW2 on xbox one and recently purchased it for PC as well. Is there a way to get the characters that I have already unlocked from the xbox one account to the pc account and vice versa? My daughter uses the xbox one version while I play the pc version.

Sorry but I am afraid PopCap never developed such a feature; likely due to the usual expected idea that most players will only play on one version and most importantly, on one account. Sorry but this can not be done currently. ☹️

It is required to have one central Origin account to do this.

It would be an idea feature for those who play cross-accounts though I doubt PopCap planned for that.

In a nutshell, you need a central single Origin account with all the appropriate things link to it (apparently) and it should be all done together. I am not sure why your characters from your linked Xbox did not go through the PC version, it may be because you linked late or there is a fault somewhere.

I hope you can sort this out soon, looking into these things may provide hints to where the problem lies.

From what I know, all you have to do is Sign into Garden Warfare 2 using the same account you used in Garden Warfare 1 and it should automatically transfer all characters unlocked (if not, check the postbox). This is compatible with cross-platform so PS3 and PS4 players can transfer to platforms such as Xbox One if wanted.

Well I was able to transfer my PVZ GW 1 characters, but I want to transfer the GW2 characters between the xbox one and pc versions of GW2. Issue is my pc origin account is under a different name than the xbox one since on xbox it set my gamer tag to what ever my xbox live name was. Email address is all the same and I was able to link the xbox live account into my Origin profile on pc but seems like any unlocked characters between the two platforms doesnt transfer over. For example if I unlocked the yeti chomper on the pc version I would like it to unlock on the xbox one version. Or if I unlocked the vammpire sunflower on the xbox one version I would like it to transfer and unlock on the pc version. Hope I am making sense.

I am afraid not. This thread should provide more detail: http://answers.ea.com/t5/PvZ-GW-Xbox-Troubleshooting/Can-you-transfer-stats-characters-coins-from-Xbox-to-Xbox-One/td-p/2428963

It seems that PopCap did not make that feature when Garden Warfare 1 was still new-ish. Sorry! 😳

Yeah not sure I thought perhaps the same email account between teo would link them. On the xbox one the gamer tag is galecio clan and the pc the gamer tag is jgalecio. Thanks for your help hopefully someday this feature will be available.
