Warning: Mean bug in lesser reincarnation!!

[wooshrow]

I will share this to you guys, so that what happened to my character does not happen to you.

When using free lesser reincarnation token, you have the following risk:

(1) you lose ALL your epic destiny XP, thus also your destinies and fate points.
(2) you lose all your favors
(3) you can no longer do Slayer missions on wilderness you had visited before you reincarnated.
(4) you lose all quests flags.
(5) in update 20, you may also permanently get stuck in your quest chain. Returning quests to their quest giver-NPCs fail to mark the quest as completed. In my case, this permanently blocks my access to Giant Hold Tor, and so also the subsequent raid.

(1) can be fixed, once you get to level 20, and if there is a kind enough in-game DM to fix you.

2,3,4,5 cannot be fixed. Especially 5 is very bad.

Most players do not experience this problem, but it happens to me now 2x already. So you are warned.

I hope Turbine is going to do something about this, because this is really really a ruining bug. The only consolation I get so far form in-game DMs is: "I'm sure the rest of the game is still fun" Wow.. not even a penny for comfort.

Bump -- this would suck to happen to anyone. I would not wish this even on my worst enemy.

I hope Turbine is working vigorously to find & reduce these bugs ASAP!

Wait, that's an actual quote? Some GM said that to you? What the hell...

I didn't log that particular conversation, but I remember well that particular answer. How can you forget? So, yes. That's was his consolation for me

(cries) why oh why did I not come across this thread before lesser reincarnating last night? Why!? (sobs)

By the way - can a free-to-play player, who has spent (plenty of) money in the cash shop, even get GM assistance in game? If so - how?

ESC HELP NEWTICKET

I think you only get GM help as a premium player for one year from your last purchase?

If so, Then how does one fix the over level item encumbrance? You need a GM for that.

After doing several tickets with no reply I finally had to do a LR lucky I dint get the LR bug

[zwiebelring]

Is that a risk for all free hearts (LR+0; LR+20) or are store hearts affected, too?

I think its all hearts

I had the same thing happen to my cleric - she was also able to re-get end rewards for infinite crappy loot (+1 loot for epic quests) or renown...

I had to pester the in-game DM a couple of times - the first guy was fixed 1 but at the time I didn't realize that 2-5 also applied to me, second just closed the ticket. Third time they didn't answer my ticket after 3 hours - and I went to bed. Luckily the fourth time gave a partial fix... the DM gave me a heroic true heart of wood, a +20 xp stone and then leveled me back up to the epic level I was (so I actually ended up with a tad more destiny xp than I had originally...)
The down side is that I was no longer flagged for any quests, my favor was still gone.
On the plus side, they didn't care what I tr-ed into with the heart of wood so my cleric (which was build to swim Abbot - and therefore nerfed a long time ago), has seen new life in a rather awesome Druid - and she gained an extra life so was 36pt rather than 34...

In the end, I'd rather not have to re-flag for all the raids, and I need to do a bunch of farming to get back her bank and backpack space. The extra destiny xp was a slight consolation but having a level 20+ toon with no favor encouraged me to quickly get her to 28 and then do the free epic tr so that at least she can get some benefit while leveling back up

[Sarzor]

Yeah, I just got this from Epic TRing.

Lost all ED xp, etc...

Not exactly pleased by this.

[Rasputin187]

This happened to me when i used my +20 heart.

[whereispowderedsilve]

Cordovan/Tolero/ProducerRowan/ProducerGlin is this fixed as of yet?

I am not going to use a LR+20 & get caught with this, the risks are simply to high for me. Not trolling, not trying to be a _______.

Just saying. I have a Iconic Challenge farmer/bank toon that needs respeccing(I've been away since the
expansion came out due to college, been working through my other more active toons & just using the free LR+0 so far 3 down 3 to go with no bad karma yet(knocks on wood).)

But this toon will be in a holding pattern, I am not going to have my favor simply taken away from me after hard work & earning it.

So asking nicely/simply/politely has *any* progress been made on this? Please include reasonings/explanations/intent as to why or why not with your reply.

Thanks! Keep up the great work! Cheers! Happy New Year! :P! ! !

[whereispowderedsilve]

Question if your favor is reset do you lose your inventory & bank storage space?

From those associated rewards? Anyone that has 1st hand experience with this care to comment?

Still waiting on official comment from Turbine in regards to this issue.

I will personally not use LR+20 while there is even a ghost of a chance of this happening to any of my toons.

I have lots of friends & guildies who have NOT had any issues, they are more risk takers/gamblers then I am though.

Asking nicely/politely/sincerely some information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! Cheers! :P! ! !

Ah ok, I read Shalera's response again, it seems that yes you do lose your inventory & bank space. What a kick in the pants! Wow!

Thanks for the heads up was gonna use one of those free LR stones now Im scared.

[magn0liafan]

Used my free +20 to LR out of some Paladin Levels on my Bladeforged. I lost my ability to cast Repair Spells.

(Yes, I still have 15 Paladin Levels, and my Wis is sitting at 14, granting me the ability to cast up to level 4 Paladin spells).

[bennyson]

This same piece of **** happened to me when I was lesser reincarnation my wizard.

This happened months ago, but I'd tell you, I was so ****ed off that I wanted to nuke Turbine for NOT FIXING THESE BUGS SOONER!

I was able to get help from a GM, but he failed to fulfill my needs because my wizard was close to level 26 before I LRed, he only gave me enough XP to go to level 23 even tho my wizard was a 25!
