    How will the siege tie into the events of Module 4 and 5? Will it be separate or tie into a deeper storyline?

    Many of the more recent modules seem to be adverse to players who play solo it seems to me. Although team play is often desirable, there are problems getting players known to each other able to log on to play cooperatively and occasionally when questing with strangers players are often teamed with those just wanting to rush through quests instead of look around or seem to be more interested in getting as much loot as they can instead of allowing everyone their share.

    How about a couple of more solo friendly quests for people who have more real world demands on their lives and less time to find people to take part in lengthy campaigns?

    Will neverwinter devs implement events/dungeons/skirmishes in the future that does not promote zergfests and have rewards that scale more appropriately based on player performance instead of mostly RNG like the current heroic encounters?

    When will RNG be removed or toned down in terms of frustration?

    1) Do the tomes for the Dragon Boons drop from the normal chests of the skirmish and dungeon or do I need a key? And am I better off ignoring keys to just hoard up 100 commerce items to buy the tomes? :/

    2) Are you planning on adding a Tyranny of Dragons currency item option to the Invoke Chest #6 which currently gives out Sharandar and Dread ring currency stuffs? If so when?

    3) In the future, can you please not have encounters that only happen every 20 minutes as part of the daily task? Hunting those dragons has turned from epic to being a chore with way too much wasted down time (aka "waiting to have fun"). Until then can you please consider making a Dragon Timer artifact? :P

    Questions must be about the event; not the game in general.

    How will they know who qualifys for a blue companion they are giving away if they reach 2000 viewers? and last time I tried watching a livestream with that many people watching it was awful laggy and the chat channel stopped working constantly.

    That I do not know the answer to. It's the question I considered when I first saw the news and a question my guild asked me literally five minutes ago. I am hoping they detail that information before the stream.

    Does the RNG fufu our ashes like in the CtA events with the companiondrops?

    1-- Is there any way/Are there any plans to fix the massive lag spikes that come with seemingly every event?

    2-- What's up with the bright green leaves on the enemy character models in the foreground and mid-ground and swirly green effects in the background battle in the screenshot in the announcement post?

    Okay.

    What are the rewards and why did you chose these ones?
    Can you say something about the odds to get the highest tier of rewards?

    Will the rewards from this skirmish involve a lot of RNG?

    Can you please confirm the time zone? Other posts in the dev tracker are saying 2pm Pacific, not Eastern. Thanks!

    Is this going to be a one-off event like the Valindara's End of Beta invasion, or will it be something that returns?

    Given that this is supposed to tie into the quest/story-line for the Tyranny of Dragons will a more permanent version of the story presented in this event be hanging around only without the special rewards?

    How it'll work is that once we hit 2k viewers, we will release a code at the end of the stream that can be redeemed by everyone. Think of it like a not-so-hidden hidden code :)

    Is this a account-wide one or just for the char? Second: Can this code be passed to other, that doesn't viewed the stream? Third: Where can we redeemed it?

    What type of rewards will we see from this event? Any new mounts, or special weapon, armor or clothing types? New enchants or old ones?

    1. How do you approach creating event professions such as Summer Provisioning, Simril Lightcrafting, and the possible siege defense effort?

    2. How do you balance non-cosmetic event rewards, such as reusable potion-slot items, in an increasingly complex game?

    This ^. While I love these events (Respen rocked!), the inherent lag makes them difficult to enjoy. Is anyone investigating the server side issues especially during heavy usage like Events? Not a slam, just an honest concern being brought forth.

    Thanks for the events guys and gals. As much as we all like to complain, there are a LOT of things that you get right!
