dungeon delve events way too infrequently

the majority of the playerbase who have reached lvl60 mainly will wait on DD to start to get the most value out for their time. but DD events are just way too infrequent.
today i logged in at around 9am. and the next dd is at 2pm. thats almost 5 hours. after that one, the next is at 8pm. another 6h later. what do the devs expect from me now? that i wait 5h to play 1h? ... or that i wait a total of 11 hours to play 2h?
i dont know if devs noticed but its summertime. its almost 30 degree out there. do they expect us to idle hours and hours just to play a few?
please make the DDs more frequent. instead every 5-6h make them every 3-4h, especially in summertime.
thanks.

I'm waiting for implementing some real solution as clearly current state of this event does not please most playerbase.
I think i can make a better suggestion. What if we had a chance to get epics from the chest, but with much smaller chance than during DD event? That will solve the problem, when u can finish the dungeon outside dd and get ninja-looted, and end up without any valuables u could get. Chest would reward everyone with some items (like t1 for t2 dungeons maybe) and there still will be chance to get a good loot outside of DD event.
in my opinion it should be removed.
give the bonus on your first run of the day. the end.
i know people who can play all day and night would hate that, but honestly if someone can play all day and night chances are they dont work and are not your big zen buyers anyways.
It is a matter of how much value item from the chest actually has. With the current state of the economy, spoiled by exploits, and with t1 stuff in t2 chests, items from dd event chest do not have much value anyway. That's why people want to abuse the system to get as many chests as possible.
But imagine there is another tier of gear, unfarmed by exploits and therefore pretty valuable. Then you probably wouldn't say 1 chest a day isn't alright. It would be awesome to go for the chest anytime you want, not when the game allows you.
a previous poster said it was a 6 hour interval between DD bonus hours.
change it to you get the bonus on your first run of the day, and then 6 hours later you can get the bonus again.
that way people who have lives and responsibilities can come on and play when they have time, and the people who can play their lives away can get a bonus every 6 hours.
everyone is happy.
The simplest solution, would be to remove the dungeon delve event altogether, no bonus chest, no extra loot, no reason to not do dungeons at any other time of day.
Me, I enjoy doing dungeons, for the fun of doing dungeons, not for the random piece of not particularly useful loot that I'm going to get at the end of it. ( I know it is possible to get really cool loot out of the chest, but thus far, I have yet to see it )

Also do something about the dungeon daily only being one specific dungeon at 60.
I think people already got used to it, so it won't be a very popular fix. And a lot of epics is not always bad, t2 epics are still expensive and t1 are just entry level gear. What they need to do is just give us more epic items, or maybe legendary items - and that will solve your problem with flooded auction. Rare items are still rare
I would like to encourage the Dev's to put Tier Gear as a reward, in the last of the four Foundry Quests needed for the daily. That way a Solo PvE player can progress without debasing themselves in DD's.
I find your solution a bit faulty and unnecessary as well. That is way too restrictive considering the fact that DD only seldom occurs. This would take out all of the hard work that people put into finding valuable items in Dungeons which they could use themselves or sell in AH to gain AD to purchase the items they need.
If Neverwinter actually followed your solution then I'm done playing the game. No offense, it's just too harsh.
No offense taken.
But... it is the current system I find harsh as it interferes too much with people's real life. Working/learning people don't have the time to run the dd event more often than once a day - and that is when they are lucky to log in around the time event starts. Sometimes even this is not the case.
One chest a day would be sufficient reward for being an active player. If someone oppose this idea because he wants to run 2 or 3 during whole day because he has nothing to do... Well...if you got so much time what do you need chests for? You should already be geared and wealthy.
First time you do the dungeon in a certain period you get your big reward.
Second time have a reduced chance of epic reward
Third time a futher reduction
And so on
I would suggest something similar with the Daily Quests as well. At level 60 asking people to do 4 PvP matches, 4 foundary quests, 3 skirmishes and a dungeon seems a bit extreme... Well unless you are young and do not have to work that is

True that , considering I mostly always get only rings and belts ( horrid rings and belts ) from the chests in T2 and not a single piece of gear yet I would say that DD work for some people and for some people doesn't . So nerfing the event won't do anything but making the last people that are stuck with this game to leave like the other 80 % of the population did
