1) lag lag lag lag - (edit - this went after the first hour)
2) Poor scaling - always seem to die when 2 or more non-level 60's chars in group
3) Favors the elite classes - people want to farm it as quick as possible, so no place for GF
4) Return to Instance Bug - anytme I'm lucky enough to find a good group who don't mind having a GF in the group I get return to instance bug and the group disbands.
5) Poor rewards and drop rates. Cmon all I have had is dyes and enchantments!
6) SERIOUS ISSUE of people having two toons in the event, with one standing round doing nothing. Seen this about 5 times now, either that or someone just thinks they can do nothing and get the chest at the end. This is completely selfish and costs me and the other team members lots of potions and more time to complete.
This is supposed to be fun but after 90 minutes I have had enough and got nothing other than some dyes to show for it.

I can't really comment on the prizes because I haven't seen the vendor yet and the prices.
I just wish they would fix the return to instance bug already. It does screw things up with groups especially during CTA events.
Also sometimes players got randomly replaced by the queue, is that still an issue?
It is the return to instance bug that causes that.
do not reply to this mod note. send us a PM instead if you'd like to discuss it.
a premade should need less than 2 mins, dont think you can keep up with that by pugging to avoid the return to instance bug
I got the CW orb and I really like it , I just hope the weapon enchantment doesn't cover up the glowing green bit in the middle of it , I'm going to get the weapon skins for all my classes I think, the dye seems to be very similar to the pirate CTA dyepack but with the colors in a different order if you know what I mean .
That makes indeed sense. At least last time CtA was around it appeared to me like they changed the composition of pugs. Pugging in CtA has been really annoying because you could end up with four sub-60s, which more often than not delayed the run noticeably. Last time though, I was accompanied by at least two 60s which worked out just fine regardless the class.
Haven't tried this one yet, but Orc Assault offered no real speed advantage if you were fighting the mobs at their spawn point.
+:
1. Love the medallion concept. I got all my skins before playing any CTA this time round as I had lots left over from previous CTAs.
2. I like almost all the skin designs.
3. Pretty easy and straight forward CTA. Quick skirmish.
-:
1. The green 'gems' on the weapon skins..
2. GWF's scythe is too short.
3. The shiny black color on the skins on display are not the real color of the actual skins.
I think the green part does get covered up by weapon enchantment visuals.
And yep, the dyepack's colours are very similar to the Swashbuckler's which are very dull.
Yeah, the wait is always longer during skirmish hour than when it is just normal time... for pug that is..
Yeah, worse, you can't even dye them to the colors you want. Have to use enchantments to make them less dull I guess...
Queue seems to be having issues for anyone who isn't in a full party.
Queue was working now its broke or something been waiting 30 min
PUGing during skirmish hour for CTA is always slow.. wait till skirmish hour is over, it should be back to normal then..
Also, using zone chat in PE is much more effective for starting parties rather than que if your goal is to get it done fast.
I did 3 in the 1st 20 min now i cant get in to one
Oh well.. I already got everything I want from this, including the Druid pet which I got on my very first run and sold within 2 seconds.. since I sold it for 48K and it was the only one up there, I expect someone probably bought it and repriced it.
The weapon skins are pretty cool, but I only used the Cleric Symbol (awesome!) and the GF shield (not sure, I might miss the skin I had before. They are both cool.)
