Sorcery Tiers still broken - Please fix!

I apologize for the cross-posting, but I did not notice the existence of this subforum.

The Sorcery tiers are still bugged to the point of unplayability. Getting enough lower level sorcery powers does NOT open up the higher tiers of sorcery powers. Please fix this as soon as possible. Thank you!

    and Sigil of Radiant Sancuary is not working either... it just does NOTHING..
    not to Player.. not to NPC...
    I can get attacked anytime and I even get aggro..
    I'm just standing in the Sanctuary doing NOTHING and some NPC attacks me...

    When sorcery was originally split into 3 subpowersets, it worked fine and things like the energy builder counted for all types of sorcery, but after the most recent patches since OB ended, it's not working correctly.

    You basically don't get access to the stuff that requires 1 power within the set/2 nonenergy builders outside the framework until you have 3 powers in Sorcery since everything that just has 'Sorcery' written in it counts as being in its own framework completely different form Radiant/Primal/Arcane/etc

    I don't understand why they split up Sorcery in the first place... it's just a mess now

    Must say I don't like the sorcery split either. Doesn't really make sense and it got cluttered as hell.

    Plain and simple; It's a mess as of now.

    Was wondering why I can't select higher level powers till I found this thread -.-
    So that means I can't level if I choose a sorcery tree?

    Hi,

    I am also experiencing this problem.

    From what I can tell, the tree is not recognizing the first two framework powers you choose as powers already spent. Therefore stuff that requires 3 powers in the framework should normally be achieved at level 8 is not showing up correctly. To get the same powers you would have had at level 8, you now have to wait until later, thus leaving you always behind or forcing you to take tier1 skills to advance.. which is highly frustrating.

    I did think of a possible solution to this.. Have a GM completely wipe your character (of all points spent, including framework) then go respec. Seeing as the respec system is also bugged beyond belief (only last 7 skills and costs a fortune, yeah ok) and you can't rechoose initial framework, you'd need a GM to try this.

    It is disappointing I admit, I hope this is resolved soon.

    I already wrote a ticket, but no response yet.
    Maybe I can resolve this like you mentioned with a power wipe.
    If the GM is willing to reset them :D

    Here's what I did in beta:

    on your first visit to the powerhouse, respec out of EVERYTHING, even remove your framework setting.

    Then buy everything back as normal. It recognized my first 2 powers after that.

    I didn't level super far afterwards so I don't know how the tier 3 abilities in the various trees were affected.

    If you leveled to level8 and the new powers were available, I guess that must have fixed it.
    I really just don#t have the motivation to start the very same character all over again -.-

    Please fix this, I just haven't gotten any powers passed the initial 2 because of this, don't want to mess up my build and don't trust that they will give a full retcon, and retcon costs are ridiculously expensive.

    I couldn't afford this, I thought it was supposed to be free your first visit? Maybe because I was lvl 6 and not lvl 5

    I wish more people used sorcery so this would be more of a priority

    I'm also hoping this gets fixed soon. I just got to a point where I just can't advance unless I take powers I don't want to be stuck with later on... *sigh*

    Hopefully they fix more than just the Tiering if you catch my drift.

    I've had to keep my sorceress character lounging in the powerhouse since just after Early Access started due to this problem. I'm surprised this didn't get fixed last night too!

    Maybe we'll get lucky and it'll get fixed tonight. I mean.. if it's just as complicated as "Sorcery" powers not counting towards "Radiant/Ebon/Arcane/Primal Sorcery" power prereqs, then hopefully they'll glue in variants of Eldritch Bolts and Blast for each framework!

    No other frameworks share an energy builder, so I'm inclined to believe that it's just not possible with the way the game's currently built.

    After finding these same problem I just began to assume you had to be level (I believe) 23 before having access to the troublesome powers. By going off memory there are two sorcery powers with the (in my case) arcane descriptor that do not have any prerequisites other than having an energy builder power. The troublesome powers require THREE arcane sorcery powers OR five non energy builder powers. This would put the troublesome powers out of reach until level 23. Maybe after initial beta testing it was decided they were overpowered and were restricted to higher levels for balance purposes? If so it would be nice to hear about it from someone official.

    Well, it is official :)
    This is bugged !

    Gaeke already announced that this is under investigation and will be solved soon.

    Just bumping. I'm lvl 11 and still can't access the powers that require 3 and with energy builder I have 4.

    Early start is turning into extended beta :(

    And yes, I played beta. But beta is over.

    My sorcerer is lvl 14, no access to the higher tier stuff either. They need to give us a full respec for sorc characters whenever they do fix it. :D

    I've actually noticed that the NPCs are drawn to the Sanctuary totems, hit it once then go after me as they realize I must have been the one to cast it.
