I am a prime member at circle 30. I seeked to get Regen at my 30th circle. Though HW and HS are still under preview so my path is blocked to the Regeneration spell. I feel this has left me at a distinct disadvantage to others that may be Premium or Plat. When are HW and HS going to be removed from preview and the path opened. My other problem is what will happen with IWH, EWH, ISH, ESH. And those slots. Will we be able to drop those spells to open the slots without penalty? I have assisted and had a mail sent to the GM's of the empath guild, but have heard nothing back. I spend alot of hours a day online. When will we here or be able to reach the gifts of our guild? Thank you for your time and for reading my message.

>Are you sure you can't pick spells that are on preview? I could have sworn you can.

You can't. Or specifically, you can't pick HW or HS. I don't know about other spells that have been or are on preview.

>Really?

><some pasted stuff>

Yup, really. :) If you learned it before the new versions of the spells, then yes, you still have it. But the OP was talking about learning those spells now so that they can get Regenerate, which was the same reason I was attempting to learn them. It's a no-go, as I previous stated. I can paste, too. :-D

"If you are interested in learning to cast this spell, I will gladly teach you. You have but to tell me that you choose it, and it will be yours."
[To learn the spell, type CHOOSE <spell name> SPELL.]
> choose hs spell

[The Heal Scars spell is in a SPELL PREVIEW. To cast it, simply PREPARE it. You will NOT be able to learn it while this Preview is running. Refer to the message boards or NEWS for more info.]
Annael Ebeshalek says, "It is true that the Heal Scars spell is within your grasp however, it is my feeling that you have not yet earned the right to learn any spell, including Heal Scars. Return when you have experienced more."

HW, HS, and Heal are still on Preview.

Regenerate requires those three spells, so if you decide not to get Heal you simply won't be getting Regenerate.

EWH, IWH, ESH, and ISH will be getting removed via a sort of mini-spellwipe, no need to visit TC with regard to these.

If you already know HW/HS and Regenerate, Regenerate will "stop being available" until you choose Heal. When asked at a way-too-early stage (ie, day of release), Dart said that he wanted to autoinsert Heal at the same time the four other spells were to be removed but that they hadn't gotten to that part yet. The latest response indicated that Heal would probably be a manually-chosen spell (ie, normal result of going off preview) but that until it was chosen anyone who already had Regenerate will be unable to use Regenerate.

Not trying to be offensive here but it's always a good idea to read the announcement pages when you've been gone for awhile.

Here you go.

>>Heh, either that or Regen, which stops at bleeders.

It doesn't stop at bleeders. Bleeders can essentially come at any point, so if the bleeding wound is attached to a level of injury that the spell will heal normally based on the option you used it will cause the bleeder to disappear.

A possible solution would be putting Regenerate on preview so long as HW and HS are on preview.

You also see a broad-capped glass toadstool with white spots labeled "1UP".

Preview is sure lasting a looong time.

Agreed, I started playing about 2 months ago as an empath and was really looking forward to regenerate. I'm up to 28th circle and it saddens me that I won't be able to get it.

I'm sitting on some empty spell slots and one of them has the name "Regenerate" on it. Either please put this on preview as well, or take HW and HS off of preview so we can add them to our spellbooks.

End Preview please.

Can we please, please, pretty please get these spells off of preview? Please with a cherry on top?

That works too.

I've had regen for a long time but I still think it's pretty awful that the players who don't STILL don't have the opportunity to choose it.

Fix this, please. The players who've attained 30th deserve the fruits of their labors.

I'd really like to see some kind of GM response to this. We've been asking for this to change for weeks now with not one single acknowledgment or any kind of time line as to when we can expect this to happen. I'm assuming 'soon'... heh.

sun exploding soon, or mayan end of the world soon?

>>Isn't that only like a little over 3 years away?

If the healing spells are taking a while, I'd be just as happy to get some TM-based disablers or a nice conc debuff to tide me over!

<<I'm not sure that the 30ish circle players who are chomping at the bit for regen are going to be thrilled with the effectiveness of the spell unless they've been banging out 6-7 ranks of PM per circle.

Definitely not 30th circle here and have more than 250 PP. Basically, this preview come out right as I hit 30th... I've leveled 20 times since then and I'd like to start using regen.

>>It took less than 5 minutes to find that. Now think about how many of those 3 spells mentioned have been put out for testing and consider we've been told a couple major projects have tied up a lot of time and GMs also have a life beyond this game.

That's not an excuse for making part of the already limited empath spellbook impossible to get
