Epic reincarnation bug?
Dec 25th, 2014 at 11:39am
Print Post  
As I do not epic reincarnate, I have no idea.

A friend had this problem: 6th epic reincarnation, fate points and epic destinies were deleted.

Some clues?

Edit: Asking a GM or putting a ticket is maybe not so good idea. He has duped his socks.

Sadly nothing new, people have been losing all kinds of stuff through reincarnations ever since they introduced the system.

No clue what causes it, except that the game is poorly made.

No way to fix it except through GM help so, if he wants it all back, just tell him to delete some of the shit he's made down to reasonable levels. Though to be honest, not sure they would even bother checking for that at the same time.

It can happen with any type of reincarnation.
I know someone who did lr at lvl 20 and lost all karma, all ed xp, all ed points wiped, everything epic wiped.
Gm gave it back, but in wrong destiny or something like that.
If he has duped so much, tell him to transfer or delete stuff from that char, and wait few days to contact gm.
They dont look for exploits when you contact them, but if you have like 10k sov pots on that char, it will be suspicious.  Grin

Yeah, that is what he will do. He is asking a moving company. He doesn´t have 10k pots...only 1k...barely suspicious isn´t it...

It happens. Only GM can help with this issue. On a bright side there is a side effect of this. GM will restore xp "manually"  for every sphere so friend will be capped again in a matter of seconds  Grin and will be able to tr again straight after that. If not on timer ofc. 
And i really doubt that someone will bother to check his bags and bank.

The fact that this continues to be an issue is beyond belief.  I understand it is not frequent, but you hear it enough to worry.
Sure, the've got some kludgey workarounds for restoring XP and Karma.
But the onus of proof is generally on the player!
I find this the most insulting part of the broken process, and completely consistent with the principles of Turdbine CS.


So the Turdbine system fucks up, and it is the player's job to keep records?  Right....

Many people have lost items and never had them restored, and it would appear that some have.  Inconsistent resolution process.
Can you imagine what it would do to a player to have their toon irrevocably corrupted or losing farmed items?
It would probably make them leave the game out of frustration.

They have made TR a key part of their strategy, so they should find and fix the damn bugs.  This is not a minor part of their revenue stream and player retention mechanism.  It should have been sorted ages ago.

Pending fixes, there should at least be a backup taken upon TR that GM's can reference and use to restore (manually I suspect), but at least the burden of proof is not on the player.

But he will also remove his xp from the karma where he did etr.

I TR'd and lost an ingredients bag.  Normally wouldn't have cared, but it had phlogiston in it.

Submitted a ticket which promptly got closed.

Submitted online, and never got a response.

This is how they'll lose the few remaining players left, one by one!

This is the more common experience I have heard from guildies and other players, but Gawker indicated he has had some success on getting things restored on a few occasions, so there must be a technique to convincing them to try.

It's pretty sad that GM/'s and CS are allowed to blow players off like this without understanding the implications.

I'll just give the same answer I always give:

Call customer service, as these are the ONLY people with any accountability.

If you are nice and polite, they will always give you something, even if it's not your lost shit.

That whole we have a built in voice chat system but can't be fucking bothered to actually fucking TALK to you shit pisses me off.
  

Fuck Off, That is all

I've had two bad TRs, the first time it happened was heroic TR into an iconic and I lost all tomes. GM was actually very helpful, asked me what highest level tome was and then gave me a supreme for each level. Also gave me an extra heart and timer reset.

Second time lost all destiny points in an epic TR, GM was also very helpful, no questions asked recapped all my destinies and all my karma, which was really nice. Ran back up to 28 in my best destiny.

Maybe I was just lucky, but my experience with GMs was pretty fucking good on those two occasions.

Other times I've opened tickets, meh. But I guess they don't want to screw around with the TR runners.

Know a guy who's now on his 3rd day trying to get ANY response from a GM or Customer Service on this same issue.  He's had 1 ticket closed by some douche who couldn't be bothered to even send a tell saying "Ha Ha your screwed!"

I'm getting the feeling that more and more they are looking to push people out of this game and shut it down.  Just pull the pug turbine, nobody cares. 

Oh, and Cordo, I hope you catch fire, get 80% of your body burnt, and survive to live an unnatural disfigured painfully long life.

In the likelihood customer service can't do jack, are there any dupe methods that still work for phlogiston?

From most reports, it seems like reincarnation problems are often linked to network lag, because Turbine developers are too stupid to realize that network lag sometimes happens on the internet.

For best results, end your client session and start a new one before reincarnating. You might also want to consider rebooting your computer and resetting your network hardware as well. At the very least, you should probably close down some of the browsers you have open to porn sites.

Always remember, Turbine believes that good game design involves hard choices.  Cool

  

Family, Country, and the US stock market. Although, in a pinch, any convertible currency or liquid asset will do.

Plural?  How do you multi-task that?    Huh
Is it like cable tV multi-channel?  You get different angles and commentary on different streams?     Roll Eyes

Maybe he's buffering several streams concurrently to "get to the good parts" more efficiently.

they will probably congratulate themselves on how long they "kept it going" never able to see that it could have easily managed to keep itself going for far longer if they had just meddled far less drastically and with some semblance of an actual gameplan.
