That would be the simplest solution by a longshot. The TR cache is certainly nice and flavorful in concept, but if you cant fix it, kludge it: provide another 300+ bank slots. Frankly, I think most people would be happier with that solution anyway, since it helps non-TRing characters to!

I don't think you'll find any arguments against that around here, and certainly not from me.  It makes the most sense.

Which means there's probably some technical reason they can't do it.

Yeah, I've only heard of a couple people having pain with that, and mostly because they weren't logged in or whatever.  The process seems way more streamlined (which makes sense).


It's just the communication that's pissing people off the most.  I trust them that they're treating it as a priority - it's a gamebreaker for something like DDO.  But throw people a bone - you can't have 5-page threads where there's zero dev input.  People are going nuts.

I lost what I was holding, a waraxe and a warhammer.. here's the kicker...

Apparently GMs can't make an item with a functional augment slot. They have to use a GM command to place the augment into the slot, and if you take the augment OUT of the slot, it reverts to 'look but can't touch'..

At least they gave me back the mats I used on the 2 items so I can remake them if I ever find the right blanks again

They never could. The swf icon does not activate until you have an orb or empty offhand. The orb will not proc twf offhand hits. Literal retards at ssg.

Hundreds of reincarnations here, and I've never lost any items. I never bother with sitting around on the beach for 5 hours (just wait for login lag to clear) or restarting the client between each step (though that seems like a good idea if you can't handle the memory leak on your potato), but the most noticeable thing to me is that there seem to be a correlation between crashing or logging out mid reincarnation and lost items/tomes/EDs.

So maybe lost items/tomes/EDs are like hesitation marks.

I know I've always (except once) made sure to finish the whole process in one sitting once the trigger is pulled, just as Turbine/SSG has advised from the start.

That one time I went through the character creator to reincarnate and then just let that character sit for a month or two before logging in at level 1. I still didn't lose anything, but my quest log was bugged all to hell, and it had weird unpredictable consequences on gameplay for that life too.

Thats because you only lack imagination sir I can imagine future patch that fixes TRs in this way "Release note change: From now characters can only process thru reincarnation if they empty TR cache, emty all bag slots, emty all bank slots and shared bank slots, and they are naked. Only item in inventory allowed is the hearth used for that reincarnation. We hope this fixes any future glitches regarding item loss during reincarnations. Sincerely your DDO team"

Yes, because the entire point of TR is to get the past life feat, NOT to re-play the game with all the amazing gear you grinded for 

I'm the filthiest of cheaters! Except not lately, because no one give me sploits!

Anyone who says exploiters are the only ones having problems hasn't been playing the game for the last 8 years.

I dunno, I'm farily certain I am somehow personally responsible for at least *some* of the problems with this game.

Counsel wrote on Aug 29^th, 2017 at 6:27pm:

The latter.  Sorry.

The TR bug has been around for way too long for people to think it is the result of anything but a coding issue.  Sure players could be doing things to increase the chance of getting hit with the bug.  But, since we don't know what causes the bug, who can say what we can do to increase or decrease our risk? 

Could trying heart reuse exploit X increase your risk?  Maybe.  Who knows?  I'd not risk it. 

Could having Helm Y equipped all your inventory and bank slots full and being in an overflow condition when TRing increase your risk? Maybe.  Who knows?  I'd not risk it.

Could having an exclusive item (Say Jeweled Cloak) equipped and also having another one in your personal bank when TRing increase your risk?  Maybe.  Who knows?  I'd not risk it.

If you have to walk outside in the middle of a thunderstorm, I'd wear rubber soled shoes and not carry a big metal stick.   

EDIT:  Please do not PM me asking for exploits.  That is what Epoch is for.
