Okay, my toon Calicojack made it to the wings/20 favor on hc, so I tr'd him and decided to try for reaper. Cuz why not, nothing to lose at that point. Not surprisingly, I killed him off to the magma brute. It was fun, and I'd gotten attched to the toon, so I transferred him to live to keep playing him. I have the issue some people are talking about of not being able to get my wings on alts on hardcore, even though I can get them fine on life. I did try the suggestion that I take Calico back and reget the wings from mortality on Sarlona, didn't help alts back on HC. (I'm still [playing there to help my husband who decided he wanted some of the cosmetics).
First thing I noticed was the -1 on his name. Fair enough, this games been in place for ages and I'm sure I"m not the only fan of the Black Sails show, so I friended the other Calicojack to see what they were classwise and such cuz I'm a curious turtle. This worked, but it was my current level and class build and in the Hot Dew guild that I was in on hardcore. I don't think Hot Dew is a guild on Sarlona. It's Strimtoms, and my understanding is they pick a diff name every year and it's not on all the servers like Death Smiles is.
Then today I took a crit lightning bolt to the face playing him on Sarlona, and it took me to the hardcore land of the lost, then resurrected me to the harbor. The toon seems to work fine other than these things, but it was just so weird I thought I would see if anyone else is having similar issues?
