Q: What is going on with the lag?
A (srand:) We are aware that all of the servers have higher than usual lag. We are working to isolate the cause and fix this. We recently reduced the Darktide lag some and we will be working on this problem until it's fixed. There will always be some degree of lag - we will just be fixing the abnormal lag.

Q: The upcoming armor imbues seem to not be worth it. You have a 67% chance of destroying your armor and if you succeed, you gain one point in a defense skill of your choice. Are you boosting it:
A (srand:) We are starting conservatively and know this is a concern. We are going to monitor what happens with this and maybe increase the effect in the future. The changes will apply to armor that has been imbued before the buff.

Q: Many dungeons, such as the Rampager Dungeon on AL are extremely camped. Is it possible to have a faster spawn rate on monsters based on the number of people in the dungeon?
A (srand:) I do not think that is possible in our engine.

Follow up Q: Can you expand the dungeon then?
A (srand/Orion:) We are happy with the way the dungeon is, there is about 150 Tuskers there on a three-minute respawn. We also run into some server concerns if we make very large dungeons with lots of fast spawns.

Q: What is digging under Marae Lassel?
A (Orion:) Something… something that I have to make up! We leave holes in the story of things that we want to go and tie up later. Sometimes those take awhile to do.

Q: Can we ever kill Paul and Babe?
A (Orion:) You can kill Tremendous Monougas in the VoD, but nothing is planned to happen with Paul and Babe.

Q: Will we see levels beyond 126?
A (Jessica:) When we have the resources to give those players content, yes.

Q: Will we ever have a more complete Gear fix?
A (Jessica:) A fix for gear is coming soon, but probably not for at least two weeks.
