Re: new even Lor'Tac -Harbingers of Corruption

22470

 

well this is just great. that means I will only have 4 days to take advantage of my premium xp boosts, in what is sure to be one long grindfest.

I dont even know if i want to do the event quest anymore...sitting at 2800 fragments and they tell me I have to wait another two weeks...

and thanks for the info, trak.
hopefully the gop value for the armor isnt too much less

 

Cm haruki just memtioned in the CM thread that r155 is still planned for this week, so it looks like they're just allowing people to farm frags for a couple weeks after the expansion. Nice for me, as my DK is sitting around 2250 and my SM at 1150 or thereabouts. Hopefully i can get to the trade in city quickly and see what my luck is like, without farming too many frags. If im 1 item short, I'll figure out what I want to do next

 

2,800? That's insane. More than 10 chests or more than 130ish gold pieces..... Those fragments have a high sell value.

Seems a few people noticed the delay??

 

Farming frags has been extended by 2 weeks. Generous.

The pessimist in me thinks the drop rate on the 4 items will be skewed again, so a "rare" piece only drops 1 in 20 chests, or maybe 1 in 100 times. We shall see.

 

i have no life ;-;

fragments are 4.30 silver each, which is ok i guess.

 

Done in combination with other goals they stack up nicely. Ya, I know....get a life.

 

so I opened my 13 chests...drops rates seem pretty nice



BUT, BIG ISSUE

the tooltip for the toltac chest reads that it will give a LEVEL 46 piece of equipment, however all my drops were level 45...so now I have to farm a new set for level 46

(I guess im not blameless as I didnt bother id'ing a couple to check first)

this should be fixed asap

 

yeah all mine dropped at lvl45, I take it this will be fixed?

 

I think it is variable level, so you get an item at your level. Nice thing is that the ander prices for extra pieces seem low.

 

Yup. Basically 1.5k ander for 35% chance to deal around up to 1.5k damage to attackers. (up to 2k for SM. I dont know if damage gems on the weapon count towards it tho)

People will be abusing this in PvP if they don't limit it to PvE. Super tanky end-game DKs can just stand around taking hits and nobody will try to kill them.

 

lol sounds pretty.... combined with pvp explotion

 

Greg went oblique today in Twitch, something about lower level items dropping from higher level bosses in maps.
That probably translates to " you're lucky you got anything at all," so don't plan on DSO fixing anything. And don't get anymore chests until you have proof of level 46 goods.
(The mods can correct me, if I'm wrong.)

 

I got the whole set today, and I am duly disappointed. The effect has a cooldown of about 3 seconds, and while it does somewhat AoE damage similar to the SW's Lightning Strike, it's rather delayed. (I usually just about finish off all the attacking mobs before it lands)

Also, the ander prices on the individual pieces are incorrect. They are more than double what is displayed in the wiki.

Long story short, I forked out about 4k ander for a disappointing bonus. Major sad face.

In response to Darwarren: yes, the chest drops level 46 equiment if you are at that level, regardless of when you traded in the chest. (I got mine in 45 and opened in 46, got 2h right away)

Btw, did I mention how ugly the set looks? God damn, I'm gonna get eye cancer looking at my avatar in the inventory...

 

Oh myyyy so much glyphs :O 9k/225=40 chests :O 21k multiplied by 40 = 840k glyphs of power oh my god!

 

Wiki prices were the test server prices, it will get updated at some point.

What happens at level 47? Do the tablet frags exchange for level 47 gear or level 46 gear? I did open one at level 45 and got a level 45 chest piece.

 

do lower level player have to wait to go see lor'tac or is there another way to get there.

 

You have to be 45+... It is an endgame content release/level expansion.

 

This about the new event about collecting tablet fragments, and you'll get reward from it. But why we have to go all the way to Yaltepetl? I mean it for lvl 45+ and the dungeon is for lvl 1-50 and it only can bring yourself to go into the dungeon. I think this is not good event, but only wasting time event for low player, I farm 2-3 hours and I just realize that I need to go to Yaltepetl just to get my reward. I'm lvl 25 and can't go there even if I have a friend lvl 45+ it wont let me past. just why devs? why? why you give us dungeon for lvl 1-50 just to know that you only can get the reward at lvl 45+? Please reconsider this

If you want to make me happy, let Thabo or another character in low lvl urban areas (kingshield, silfmoor) to have the trader so we can get the reward.

 

You could sell the frags... or wait until you are 46-50 and then use them to get some free uniques... it is your choice.
