What in tarnation is going on with Trial of Qin Lo: Solo?

[AinaFV]

Ok, so maybe at level 80, this trial is a bit of an undercon.  It's still sooooo uncool of SOE to just abruptly zone me out of the zone without warning.And besides, how the heck am I to get Roose X2 access without doing the pre-requisite quests?As of right now, I've zoned into this instance over 12 times.  Each time, I have been forcibly zoned out by...something...dunno what though.  No error messages, no warnings, sometimes I haven't even killed anything, I just pulled a mob and then LOADING, PLEASE WAIT.  After the first couple times, I made sure to stay way hell away from that portal thing, even got to the second floor.  But even that wasn't far enough away...LOADING, PLEASE WAIT.

I am trying to remember exactly what happens, but whenever you go into that zone, you must accept the terms or an item or something within 10-15 seconds or you get zoned out. Then you have 30 minutes to kill a predetermined number of terracotta warriors. It is challenging to say the least.

[AinaFV]

I'm offered a quest soon as I zone in.  Is that what you're referring to?Because there are no mobs to attack until after you accept the quest and start the timer.

I've run this instance many times without a problem, even just a few days ago.  I just hit 80 last night and my timer expires today, so I'll try it tonight and report back if I find anything interesting...   it could be some bug where a level 80 player can't do the zone...

[feldon30]

Yeah that's it, you're offered a quest. But once I accept the quest, it doesn't hassle me. Maybe it's bugged now?

It's kicking you out because of your level.  Once I hit level 80 it started greying out some of the terracotta warriors so I would get booted from the zone if I attacked any of the grey cons.  You should get a bold red message across your screen indicating you significantly overmatch the encounter and are being removed from the zone. (that's at least what happened for me)The shard collection trials can still be completed since you can just kill the green cons and clay jars for the necessary number of shards, but the kill task trials can not be completed at 80 since there are not enough green con warriors in the instance.

I was 80 before I ever set foot in this instance, and everything was gray to me. So level was not an issue a few weeks ago.

Odd thing...  I just went into the Qin Lo Solo instance, started the quest, killed a green mob and it was fine, killed the grey one next to it, and got the warning that "My Group was too powerful" and they were removing me from the instance.I zoned back in so I could get the exact message it gave and /bug it... but it didn't boot me out when I killed a grey mob!   Unfortunately, I could test further or complete the zone because my boss showed up (heh heh)... but it looks like this "boot you out" behavior has some wiggle room.

[AinaFV]

Ok, thanks all for the feedback!

It's kicking me out consistently now when I kill the grey boys... even in the heroic version.I'm bugging this...  I don't like them making game content inaccessible.

(unless you mentor to 78 or lower) The only trials that you can complete after 79-80 are the shard collection trials since you can cherry pick the green cons and the clay jars.
