I had issues with a past transfer where no stars were transferred and the hero on the receiving end of the transfer lost saint levels. I was just checking to see if it would be worth transferring one of the current toons to Lancelot or Herja. None of the stars would transfer. I tried all the possible combinations of starred heros and non-starred and found that no star transfers would work. Most of the toons have 6 or 7 stars and the recipients had none. That should not be the case should it? I mean some of the stars should transfer without paying more in coins and gems than it would cost to start over, right? Some of those stars took 6 to 8 attempts at 3 or 4 stars per attempt and I just have to lose them and do it all over again with each new hero? Combine that with the Sanctification failures like failing at 90% and repeated failures at 60% or 70% and it gets very expensive. Is this the way Tynon intended it to be? Is this a glitch that needs to be fixed? Am I just the unluckiest person in the game?
When you set up the transfer (select the two heroes) you see what the receiving hero will end up with under its picture.
