Feedback Lor'Tac Bound Event

This event is a boring grind. The same itty bitty dungeon over and over. First you have to grind to collect the corrupted andermagic, then the tablet fragments. There are no rewards along the way and no matter how many fragments you collect, you may or may not get PART of the set, but wait theres more, then in order to complete the set you have to PURCHASE it. Event..... not hardly, If this is any inclination as to how Lor 'Tac will be when it finally gets here..............

 

I've been reading as much as a I can about this event. Here are some Pro Tips:

Phase 1:
1. Enter the map. There will be enemy mobs. Kill them.
2. Stuff lands on the ground. The shiny ones that look like pinewood derby trophies are important. Pick those up.
3. Drink beer.
4. Repeat starting at step 1.

Phase 2:
1. Level up to 46.
2. Turn in that stuff you picked up and collected and turn it in for chests.
3. Open chest four times and get four boots.
4. Scream.
5. Melt gear.

Phase 3:
1. Rage on forum.
2. Threaten to quit.

Phase 4:
1. Take shower.
2. Play next Event.

 

Ok, I must have missed something in the post about the chests. I released the prisoner without going thru Thabo, but I still was ablt to release the prisoner. After I released him, I didn't know to go talk to Thabo, so I didn't. I have since collected 225+ fragments but cannot find an entrance to some place with a funny name. Also, I cannot now speak to Thabo except for his normal stuff. Have I done the quest in the wrong order? Did I need to follow the Prisoner when I released him? I don't get it. What's the point of collecting the fragments?

 

You can't find "an entrance to some place with a funny name" simply because it's not here yet. When the level expansion comes, you will be able to trade your Tablet Fragments for Toltac Treasure Chests in the city of Yaltepetl, in Lor'Tac. That's the point in collecting them - you will be able to get items from the ones shown in the event's description.

DSO needs to work on their clarity given the amount of confused people who keep asking the same questions (this particular event is only one example)... though maybe if more players didn't dive right in nose-first and took the time to read info in-game and on here instead and then go for it, they would understand better.

 

Thank you for responding. I read the flash page regarding the event, and took the counter on the bottom to mean that was how much time remained to do said event, not how much time remained until I could start turning in fragments. Under most circumstances, and unless specifically explained to be different, that's how most counters have worked in games i've played. It is my fault that I was not more diligent in researching the event's rules prior to "diving right in". I thought I had a good understanding of the event, turns out I was wrong.
One last question, as I am unable to find anyone mentioning it specifically on the forums, and there's no mention about level req on the flash page, do we have to be a specific level in order to turn in the fragments?

 

You can assume you will have to be lvl 45 to enter the continent of Lor'Tac (and thus its capital of Yaltepetl, if not even lvl 46 for this).
The set is lvl 46 anyway, so turning in the fragments before doesn't make too much sense (unless you only intend to melt the uniques...).

 

Once again, thank you for replying to my question. Although what you say there makes sense, I'm quickly learning not to assume anything about this game.

 

Can you tell me where/how i trade in tablet frags for chests?

 

You need to wait until the 26th of this month when R155 is released. Then you can go to the major city and trade them there.

 

I heard from some friend that the chest of the event has price of 250 gold.... anyone know?
if someone have a pic ..it would be nice

 

I just find the event keeps longer.

 

again we have to wait 16 days, EDIT yesterday it says 2 days

 

R155 will come in 2 Days..
