Any plans for the cost of +1/+3 reincarnation hearts?

[Gol]

I'm excited to see this go live, but I'm scared about how many points these gems/hearts are going to cost. As a P2P player, I'm personally hoping that a +1 gem is going to cost around 200-300 points and that a +3 gem around 500-600. I'm concerned, though, that they're going to cost upwards of 1000 and 1500 points. That's 2-3 months of points for a VIP and $10-15 for a P2P player. At that price point, I wouldn't ever bother. I'd rather let my broken toons rot than pay $10-$15 to fix them (and still not be able to change their alignment, either).

Just curious to see if you (Turbine) have any initial thoughts that you could share with us prior to it going live.

Thanks!

I don't know, I think I would pay $15 to fix a character rather than spend a month ($15) rerolling her. That's my opinion though.

If the toon doesn't have stockpiles of raid gear, sure. I can't get to cap that fast myself, but then again the incremental cost of a month of play is $0 for P2Pers (myself included).

Meh not me. I would rather get the extra build points and the free passive if I'm paying the same price.

[Impaqt]

None of my characters are so broken or useless that I would spend $15 on em to Correct a few things Turbine changed over the years or refocus their skills.

495 for an extra Character slot.... I'd rather do that.....

L/G Reincarnations should be in the range Gol Suggested..... Maybe a smidge more... 395/695 tops...

I was indeed hoping the cost was less than a TR, I am not sure how much that costs at the moment. However, I do think there is a lot to be said for saving the tim e of the TR even if there are more build points involved.

I am confused by your comment about raid gear Gol. Could you expand on that. All resurrected characters retain gear.

Then there is the fact that a lesser/greater reincarnate keeps consumed tome stat points, whereas a TR does not.

If a char doesn't have a lot of raid gear or tomes,the cheaper option is always a reroll I guess

The price before they were put on sale was in the 1300-1500 range, I expect that's where it will land, similar to TR, which will all know is selling like crazy.

I took your first reply to mean "delete and reroll", not a true reincarnation. I don't have the time to TR my toons, the curve is just too steep. I did it once already, and got him to level 16 in 2 months for which there was +20% for half of it. I might be able to take a non-TR toon from 0-20 in 2 months, but that would require playing more than I have time to.

Case in point is my first character and namesake, Gol. 3 bank tabs of raid loot not counting what he wears. 28 point broken-ass build, and leveling him to 20 just to TR is completely out of the question. I want to respec his class levels and change his alignment. As a here-since-headstart character, I'd like to think I ought not have to pay anything to fix him, let alone $5/10/15 to do it and still not be able to change alignment.

Spending 1300-1500 points to fix something Turbine changed (aka broke) is unacceptable to me, but I'm probably in the minority there.

Isn't that way some of the TRs are done?

Someone else suggested long time subscribers each get a free one, I wouldn't argue with that, but I doubt Turbine will do it.

There are a couple chars that I probably will LR+3 the first time it goes on sale. I'll wait until then. There is one that is currently my L14 mule that I will GR+3 when that goes on sale, but probably wouldn't do it before then.

For my $10 is worth it to avoid hours of relevelling just to pull out 1 level or to fix a couple stats. At $15 it comes marginal if I would do it or not. I recently decided to reroll instead of TR one of my parked builds, wasn't worth the grind + cost for what they had on them.

/shrugs, everyone has a different price point for their time/fun.

If u look in the store they were discounted 30% but were still relatively inexpensive. Approx. 200 - 400 tp not on sale.
If I recall there was not much of a change last time 2 the pricing of the True Heart of wood from its Lam cost. Would guess it will be basically the same once it goes live.

They were messing with it on lama to get it working. The original price when the update dropped on lama was much higher, as was the cost last time on lama

[RequiemVampie]

I tested a +1 Greater Reincarnation on my cleric to drop the splash level of sorc. I approve of the Greater Reincarnation, but I disapprove of the TP cost of the heart (1500 tp). Also, you get to keep any tomes that has been used. Another bonus is that the Lesser/Greater can be used at any time beyond level 3, I believe.

[ArkoHighStar]

A high price will severely limit my desire to purchase any of them.

Pretty much sums it up.

[Schwarzie]

Well if it will be cheap enough i could use it to build my main, a 28pb Cleric with the help of GR+3 to a FavSoul (or the Cleric gets more love soon), if not he will be Shroud toon, and thats it.

Current price list for all the hearts of wood in case anyone's interested:

Lesser Heart of Wood: 895tp
Lesser Heart of Wood +1: 1195tp
True Heart of Wood: 1295tp
Lesser Heart of Wood +3: 1395tp
Greater Heart of Wood: 1495tp
Greater Heart of Wood +1: 1795tp
Greater Heart of Wood + 3: 1995tp

Way too expensive, imo.

WOW! No way I'd by ANY of those.

[Coldin]

I think the standard lesser and greater should be 500 or less.

Now the +1, +3 varieties...those can be much higher in my eyes.
