    The event is outstanding! One of the best events up to now.

    I wish all future CTAs would also allow me to buy the companion/mount/whatever. It'd be less frustrating if there was a reachable goal one was able to work for - instead of relying on luck.

    This is the best event I have played so far.

    Everytime I enter it, the game is different.

    The ability to buy the rare drops is great too, especially for the casual players.

    The green slime is really cute too. Haven't got the pocket pet yet but its description makes me really want to get one too.

    Well done on this event, developers=)

    Best event to date=)

    Really really like how it is not the same each time I enter it. The previous events got really boring after doing a few times since they are exactly the same each time.

    The ability to buy the rare drops is also great for the casual players who do not have the time to grind the event for them.

    Well done!

    This has been the best! I love the changing boards and mobs, the companions that can be bought and/or won, just everything!

    As many have said, awesome event. Ran it until the wee hours last night despite an early start & will probably do the same again tonight.

    Agreed with everything, love the solo queue runs where players start getting excited opening mimics and die as a result.

    The voiceover for the chickens though, sounds.... totally.... normal.... =_=

    The chicken voices crack me up every time :) As do many other voices and phrases.

    I love love love everything about this event! Fantastic job! It's amazingly creative and incredibly well done; I can't stop playing! Also, thank you so, SO much for allowing us to collect the dice and buy the Slime Companion & Pocket Pet. I bought both! Oh please make this a regular thing, it's truly wonderful. <3

    PS; I think poor Makos needs a break. He's looking a bit disgruntled.

    Never have I been so proud that I invested time, effort and patience into this game. To everyone behind this event - you have outdone yourselves. Kudos!
    You there. New to the game? Feeling overwhelmed? Maybe you think getting to end-game is impossible for a casual player like yourself, or maybe you just need to be around a community that helps each other stay sane and competitive with the latest news, current trends, random chitchat and most of all LEGIT (that is, we try to keep things fair) gameplay. If you don't mind being around quirky people and the rare occasional drama (one of our prominent TR members is apparently a mafia godfather) join nw_legit_community at http://www.nwlegitcommunity.shivtr.com/forum_threads/2330542.

    Hee hee :) It is excellent. I'm pretty sure it's not Knox doing the voice overs - thought he was one of the players? It's Respen isn't it? Also they are uncannily good impressions, very similar to my own wide range of character acting when DMing :D

    I miss the days of rolling up random dungeons on the fly cos it's Tuesday night and I hadn't got round to writing anything over the weekend...

    I still tear up everytime i think about them cancelling that show. The very best bit of sci-fi television I have ever had the privledge to watch. RIP Wash.

    So. Much. Win.

    Whomever's brainchild this originally was, they need a promotion. And a raise. And a company-financed cruise or trip to somewhere tropical and awesome. I'm not even remotely joking; this man or woman is now a living legend in my mind, despite being nameless. They also deserve the coveted Best Parking Spot forevermore.

    The voices? Brilliant. Hilarious! Listening to gruff, all-business Sgt. Knox "do" a female NPC impersonation... the first time everyone in my household (gamers one and all) heard that, tears were shed. We rolled, I tellya. And Respin's similar voice acting-within-voice acting elicited just as much riotous laughter. The chicken-orcs were a hilarious touch, too (and a subtle reminder of the Midsummer Festival, to boot.)

    So much variety! The bosses, the monsters, the re-creating of our characters as figurines, "fighting dice" (who hasn't played tabletop and run out of statuettes?) the whole works, all nostalgic and awesome. Even the dice-rolling sound effects added just that extra touch of familiarity.

    Love the fact that you have the ability to earn the Green Slime companion and little pocket pet, too. Luck adds the benefit of extras to send to alts or sell off, but for those of us who just love the idea of having them, we can work our way to a bound one for ourselves. (One for all six of my characters? Gonna be doing that.)

    Oh, and an extra shout-out to the personification of coolness responsible for the Gelatinous Cube mount! I have two epic mounts, but they rest in my bank precisely because you cannot out-cool riding a giant Jell-O jiggler. It even picks up random odd junk every time you mount up.

    This whole event and associated thingamabobs... love it. Every last bit. Much love. <3
    I have the ability to heal you. A shield to protect you. Blades to slay your foes. Magic! So I'm a tiefling, so what? We have a common enemy, and a common goal. Here, you can put ornaments on my horns if it'll put you at ease.

    I'm really loving this event, it's amazing! Good job, guys! I like the dramatic pose my HR has, just like the one my old ranger figurine had. I like the changing maps and that we can do the challenges while fighting through them (and that the crappier challenges seem to be left out, I've only gotten doable ones this time). And the gazebo! Though I was disappointed that we couldn't fight it :P

    Also serious props for letting us buy the companion and the pocket pet.

    I am signing this wholeheatedly :)
    Suggestions to improve NW:
    - Dualspec
    - Better rewarding foundry and foundry pvp maps
    - Custom PvP leagues with leaderboards instead of the current 'matchmaking'.
    - Armory
    - make jumping cost stamina (to reduce hopping in pvp)

    I'm confused about the time this event ends. On the website it says Apr. 4th at 1pm. In game the event pop-up says that it ends on Apr. 3rd at 1pm? Can anyone clarify this?

    In game timer is wrong. Event will run to the 4th. This has been confirmed by Pin himself.

    As much as we bash the devs, I have to say well done on this one. It is fun but not boring (at least not the first 15 times). The voices are great. Reminds me of the good old days of D&D.

    Nicely done folks!

    Where do I go to spend the crystal dice? Which store?
    I've only been playing the Neverwinter mmo for a couple of weeks now. **** question, but I have searched. I just can't find any information on which store I go to (there seem to be loads of different currencies in this game)

    It's at Protector's Enclave, the same place where the CTA NPCs' are always at. (somewhere below the invoking NPC I think)

    In protectors enclave walk up the stairs towards where the prayer alter is opposite the mount store area and you will see a huge crowd of players , the store is in there somewhere.

    What is the actual duration on this supposed to be? On the Arc news article it says starts April 1, ends April 4th.
    http://community.arcgames.com/en/news/neverwinter/detail/3038973-new-playable-race_-respen___s-game-_-now-live_

    But in game, it ends April 3rd.

    For those of us who work M-F full time jobs, for a mid-week event, a 3rd day is definitely preferable.

    I mean it's not like I have dice at home, but I just want a smelly blob. I doubt I'll manage to get enough to unlock one. I'll be playing some D&D tonight. Anyone else playing tonight?
