MGS: Ground Zeroes to Phantom Pain Save Transfer

Yuss glad Konami finally sorted out the code thing, now if I can simply get my save to work with TPP that'd be great (and I'm not even on an Xbox system).
 
Now that we pretty much know everything that transfers, maybe someone should update the OP with the conclusive info.
 
I'm just finishing off GZ before I properly start TPP this weekend, so apart from saving the POW's and extracting certain Soldiers, are there any other things I really need to do, before I transfer my save over ? like S Rank all the missions on Normal + Hard, collect all the XOF patches and tapes ect.....

Sorry missed the bit on the 1st page that had been updated, unless anyone has any new info on the tapes and other stuff.
 
Has anyone discovered whether or not GZ save files unlock Camp Omega at any point in the game yet? Or are we to assume it's cut content?
 
Im sorry this has been asked a million times already probably but Im late to this stuff. Do I need to save the prisoners on one go and complete the mission aswell. I got 3 out of 4 on mission 2. Can I restart and only get the 1 I missed?
 
For what it's worth, I didn't rescue every prisoner in GZ including "The Eye and The Finger" but still got them. I wonder if it's tied to just beating all of GZ's missions...
 
I don't know if people are still wondering about the golden arm, but I got it and I only did GZ on normal and hard, first 2 side ops on normal, and the 2 dejavu and arisen ones on normal and hard.

Only around 30% in GZ
 
Got all the XOF patches last night, now tonight I'll do the two bonus missions and leave it at that. Whatever I get for all of that is fine, I don't have time to go for 100% and all that. Buying TPP on Friday and wanted to have a decent save to bring over. Very hyped.

You don't have to extract everyone on one mission playthrough, no. You do have to finish the mission though.
 
Gotta ask because I'm afraid I may have to start the game again. I already uploaded my save and I know you didnt have to do it before starting to play TPP so could I go back do more stuff in GZ and then upload it again and have the stuff unlock?
 
So I finally got my hands on TPP and wanted to start, but it's only starting in offline mode because of maintenance (on PS4). So i obviously can't download my GZ save...
I thought servers would be up already? Any timeframe when it comes online again or do they have serious server issues?
 
It's Thursday... Still have not been able to upload my Ground Zeroes save to The Phantom Pain due to "Sever Maintenance" on The Xbox One version.

I'm so frustrated, I did all that work in GZ to get the bonuses in TPP but I'm almost all the way through the damn single player campaign, and Konami has said nothing about the problems in over 24 hours, meanwhile, they like to tweet and retweet about how awesome MGSV is...
Jerks.

I feel played like a damn fiddle.

Same here guys, I'm on PS4.

I see people in MGS V threads and on new YT videos unlocking stuff thanks to uploading Ground Zeroes file and keep wondering how people are managing to get it done.

Also are the reports of being connected online heavily slowing down the game when using the iDroid true?

I had no problem with uploading my GZ save, but downloading in TPP isn't possible. I get the maintenance error message at the start of the game and don't get an option to transfer the save because of that. :/
I will start TPP now anyways, but that sucks.
 
Is it time to start a thread about the MGSV servers being down for a ton of people and Konami and the gaming media aren't talking about it?

Same issue for past 2 days for myself on PC. Would be nice to be able to try the online features too!
 
Seems so to me.

Dayum. Oh well.

It truly sucks but you can at least get through the early parts of the game (first 6-10 hours) without missing the need for the GZ unlocks fine.

Yup. I actually got online last night and grabbed my GZ save, but it makes every trip to the iDroid last almost a full minute. Quit out, went offline.

Wound up unlocking a bunch of staff (Hideo!) and the GZ sneaking suit, but not the MGS1 skin or the golden arm (yet).

Sigh.
 
Just got to mission 6, after completing and returning to mother base, The Eye and The Finger, plus another 4 or 5 turned up.
The golden arm was after rescuing the bionics expert.
The sneaking suits are there as well.
I got 100% on GZ.

Which one was the bionics expert? What mission is he from?

Well getting the tapes fills in alot of back story info for Ground Zeros

Not sure if a new thread is warranted, but it's definitely an annoying issue especially since some people have it working while others (such as myself) don't, all the while not seeing any updates from Konami.

No updates from Konami and news sites like Kotaku wont pick up the story even with lots of prodding from me. Totally not like them...

Well, I guess a new thread would be a good place to find out how many people suffer from this, kinda... as this thread isn't exclusively for people with server issues.

Also, do people have the same error as me? Which is 10012. I've seen people with different errors but this is the one I keep getting, usually one or two seconds after I try connecting.
 
I hate that the staff is auto assigned, is there a way to make it so that new guys auto go to the waiting room?

Well, you can go to the full staff list and have it organized by recruitment order. That should be good enough.

Also are the reports of being connected online heavily slowing down the game when using the iDroid true?

Yes, it's horrible. And every time you start the game, it automatically signs in, which takes forever, and then shows you several pages of announcements that you've already seen. At least you can disconnect from the internet from the ACC.

I think you need to be connected to use the super rad mobile app, though. :/ And to do FOB stuff but fuck that.

Well, it's not like Sim City where the servers actually matter very much. The game is actually better when they're down....
 
for the Solid Snake skin do you have to fully complete the Deja Vu mission from GZ and have the skin unlocked in GZ or just do the one flashback and exit the mission as quickly as possible?
 
"Need to beat Deja Vu Hard for Grey Fox Costume"

Do i need to watch all cutscene or can i rush and only see like one cutscene to get the suit, i didnt knew we could get this suit i only have solid snake pixel suit unlocked so far in panthom pain.
 
Oh well I went full Rambo mode in GZ and got 19 out of the..21? NPCs. However Im not sure if I did it the right way as I made some shortcuts here and there and theres no way to track stuff properly. Im not aiming for 100% anyway so if I manage to grab a few of them in PP Im fine.
 
Does anyone know if you can re-upload your GZ save if you've completed more missions?

I uploaded my save on Tuesday but have yet to download it in PP. I plan on doing some more missions tonight to unlock some stuff.

Also there's no code stuff to mess with in order to activate unlocks in PP right? Just uploading and downloading saves? I thought I read about codes being included with initial versions of GZ and those being required to unlock content in PP.

Thanks!
