Drop the price of the Hearts of Wood

[QuantumFX]

If you would like players to test out the new Reincarnation functions you might want to consider drastically dropping the price of the Hearts of Wood.

Or give us a few thousand TPs
I don't mind the price-on a live server.
But I'm not buying several thousand TP's that I can only use on a test server.

or make them available easy through something ingame

You don't have the option to buy a thousand TP on the test server.

Its funny how DDO:EU treats beta oddly in terms of stuff.

You shouldn't have to buy anything inside beta. Heck, everything gets wiped in beta; characters, items, exc., so why bother?

Beta is supposed to be a test phase where you actually test upcoming updates to the game. If we can get in beta, we obviously should have access to the content that is in beta status, to try it out and get the results, so that final tweaking can be done before its released.

If Turbine gave us the ability to create reasonably leveled characters so that we can actually try the stuff thats in beta, more people will test it, and thus, more bugs will be found and (hopefully) fixed. Of course, such power should come at a trade-off; maybe allow only VIPS to participate in beta? It would put more power to them since they need more benefits anyways. Giving them beta will just give them more power, which they need. Of course, if they need more beta members, they could just do a lottery system where if a account meets a certain criteria for eligability, they are put in a raffle, the names are drawn, and if the names get back to Turbine, volia! They can participate in beta. Oh, and maybe the VIPS and select players could get some Turbine points for their trouble. Or Turbine could give the beta participants a account prize of their choice much how you can pick 1 item from an end quest reward(Rewards might include more bank space, a bundle of turbine points, special items, exc. Some of the more rare prizes offered could even include VIP allowence extension, where VIPS are given slightly more points per month.)

Regardless, Turbine's beta system is...well...it barely works. In a DDO sense, they're not proficient with beta. If they were, updates from beta to live would improve in quality.

I'm sure they're going to have Madfloyd or another dev ingame soon handing out hearts of wood or tp so we can test out the reincarnates, have patience....now fix it so I can run my FvS

Add something fun:

You can't even buy Flawless Dragonshard from DDOstore to respec feat now, at least not for me and a few person I've asked.

It's basically kill my wish to test Pale Master on Lamannia (with the expensive of Hearts of Wood and no Flawless dragonshard can purchase)

I purchased a heart of wood, and made a boo-boo during feat selection, and now I can't test Pale Master without using a feat respec shard or the wood.

check to see if you can do the dragonmark unlock quest for 1 free feat respec

Nope, I've re-specced on my character before the copy, now I can't repeat it.

[Girlbrush]

You *might* still be able to do the dragonmark unlock quest on Lamannia. Previously players had to redo that quest on Lamannia in order to access dragonmark feats via Reincarnation even though they had done it before on live servers.

I tried to talk to Lockania - no quest dialogue. Tried to abandon the quest - error message saying its a "non-repeatable quest".

Looks like its time to wait for Sir Pointalot...

Bummer .

On second thought, what type of shard and how many do you need to respec? I've got 41 flawed siberys shards and might be able to pass you some.

You need 1.000.000 fragments, so with the help of your 41 flawed, **ONLY** 995.900 more fragments would still be needed ... /sarcasm

And YES Turbine, the Hearts of Wood NEED to be made available by some in-game method that is more feasible for *everyone* than running X number of quests in Epic.

And hopefully, multiple methods by the way.

I'm not saying this should not involve grind (purchasing from store needs to remain an economically attractive option), just some more sensible/appropriate type and level of grind.

In another thread I suggested making your choice of Heart of wood (Lesser +3, Greater +1, or True) available at 3000 Favour ; Additionally there should be some means of grinding some appropriately themed Quest/Adventure pack for some sorts of tokens to gain lesser hearts of wood -- and two lessers should be combinable in stone of change or other crafting device to make a +1, four Lesser to make a +3, five lesser to make a Greater, two Greater to make a G +1, four Greater to make a G +3, five G to make a True. The tokens could perhaps come from some appropriately druids/druidic themed quest or mini quest chain providing House J favour ?

Perhaps some others would have some ideas ?

Anyway, providing some other in-game method than grinding quests in Epic would be an absolute MUST, though it would need to not destroy the relative attractiveness of simply getting the items in-store. And this is NOT just from my European player's perspective where we don't even *have* the Store, but simply that linking the obtaining of hearts of wood with Epic grinding is a design Fail.
