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?

You recall the spells you have learned from your training.

In the chapter entitled "Healing," you have notes on the External Wound Healing [ewh], Internal Wound Healing [iwh], External Scar Healing [esh], Internal Scar Healing [ish], Vitality Healing [vh], Heal Wounds [hw], Heal Scars [hs], and Regenerate spells.

><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.

If we can't use regen until we choose heal, as heal is a prerequisite of regen now, then I'd rather it simply be inserted for anyone who currently has regen. That makes a lot more sense to me, then suddenly taking away one of my spells.

Regarding hw and hs. Had no idea they had even been rewritten? Whats changed about them? They seem to work about the same as they used to. Though admittedly I was away from the realms for quite awhile so...

Not offended at all. And thank you for the link. After reading it, it sounds like it works the same way it used to, standard healing external then internal, however it basically just adds the options to heal only internal or external, or reverse the standard and heal internal first then external.

Guess my empath is just so advanced that she never noticed the difference. I always over power my healing spells anyway. Though in all honestly, the primary reason I didn't notice is probably because I normally use regen or the new heal spell to heal up these days. I used to use hw and hs, but when I found out about heal, I've been sold on it ever since.

Very happy to know about the changes. Have been using iwh, ish, and esh to maintain an occasional bleeder, as both heal, and hw, when cast normally would heal them. 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.

So what's up with this? I am also to the point where I can't move further up the tree because none of spells the can be chosen.

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

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.

If it makes you feel any better.. regenerate really does not start becoming effective til well past the PM/Harness you will have at 28th circle. It will be slow and will not train your PM/Harness at all in any significant way.

That said.. HW/HS does need to be taken off preview for those who do want to move up that tree to be allowed to do so.

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.

Or at least put Regenerate on preview in the interim for those who are 30+ and can't pick it because of the current state of affairs?

I have been over 30th circle now and not been able to get Regenerate. When are you going to take HW, HS, and Heal off of preview so the path can be opened to us. This preview is getting rediculously long. Can you please take the spells off preview or change the path so we can use what we are supposed to have.
Thanks

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.

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

That might not be so bad...

srsly though, my empath has been slacking (Still in their low teens after over a year) but the way this preview has been handled locking empaths out of key spells is really absurd and should be fixed ASAP.

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.

I agree the preview should end, but just be sure you know what your getting before selecting regen below 200PM or you might be disappointed.

Beh, I held off getting it for just this reason (was basically saving it for last, so my magics would be sufficient) and can't get it now either because of the preview on HS and HW.

So it's not all 30th circlers chomping at the bit.

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.
