i am level 56 and cannot pick up the quest. the door is open, but i get ported back when i enter. so i cannot continue the campaign currently. i was already inside, but didn´t accept the quest and walked out.

edit: i don´t know why, but if you enter very slowly step by step you can enter past the point of getting ported back.

Got stuck here on Beta... I opened the door at Level 55... but it says this quest is not available until 58 and Drakka's Quest marker was grayed out. So I basically got stuck in the Hall of the Primus. The main door was not open, and I had no way to trigger this quest to get out. So, I hearthed out... but now, I have no way to get back in. So it looks like I literally cannot progress with questing anymore on the Beta on the toon I've been using. Super confused at this quest level and why it's not 55.

EDIT: As Madnes mentioned below... at 56 the door appears to just open and the Drakka's quest is available for pickup.

Description

Even in his absence, the wisdom of the Primus rings true. This message must have been put here to await one who proved worthy of hearing it. <Draka peers at you.> You came to Maldraxxus to learn why Bastion was invaded. Now you know that there is treachery in our ranks. And that there are noble souls here who will set things right. Tell your allies in Oribos all you have witnessed. See that the warning of the Primus reaches the Eternal Ones. It would be an honor to fight by your side again, {name}.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Door to the UnknownMaldraxxus · Level 10-55

    You empowered the final rune? Then we might yet turn the tide of battle! Open the door, <name>! We'll hold the enemy back as long as we can!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Request of the HighlordOribos · Level 50-60

    The information you uncovered in Maldraxxus should quell the drums of war between the Necrolords and the Kyrian. And this message from the Primus... extraordinary! I would advise you to enlist Highlord Fordragon's counsel, but he appears preoccupied.
