Thought I'd play HC this league and then RIP to softcore eventually... horrible mistake

So I've been playing HC for the last few years, so the new changes where you RIP in HC and can continue playing in SC sounded fantastic to me.

Imagine being me last night and dying to a pack of invuln divine shrine monsters and thinking "oh hey, that's fine, I can still play this character in SC" only to find out that all of my progress is gone, no breach trees enabled, no atlas completion, can't even use one of my two grafts because of incorrect quest state, etc.

So I think, okay, I'll just create a new HC char and click Migrate All to move my progression over to softcore.

There is no Migrate All button for HC Keepers -> SC Keepers. So, if you RIP in HC, you've got to complete the atlas a second time, do all the in-map quests, the league mechanic quests, unlock the tree, level the tree, unlock your 2nd graft slot, the list goes on.

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but should you really be punished this much for choosing to play HC at league launch? This actually feels WORSE than ripping to Standard.

So yeah, learn from me. And yeah, I know I can just go again in HC, but I simply don't want to re-level a character right now. Arc Raiders it is until my internal cooldown pops. Great league btw.

Thanks for the heads up on this. Didn't think about that. I kamikaze'd my HC char into SC so I can start working on the atlas tree. Sure enough no progres in SC. The Graft I had was able to be unlocked after doing one Breach even in a map. Made sure to move over maps to advance as much of the atlas on SC. Made it to 88 which is not too shabby :D
Been asking them to do this for years and they finally did it but im sad to hear they didn't get porting your progression over, surely they'll fix this in a future patch since the progression is the same but harder in hc so there should be no issues porting it to the standard challenge league.
Innocence forgives you
This feels like an oversight or bug. Doesnt sound intended, it was also not communicated as being a progress reset. You should be able to continue playing from your progress.

GGG Post about this would be nice though.
