Sorry guy, that's like my 6th time explaining that on the forums today.
The only way you possibly got 2 of the medals is if you traded in 12 supply packs, unless you bought them with Zen. They do not directly drop from the heroic encounters.
Ok but I farmed encounters all day to get my battle horn and after spending hours there in 2 HE I was awarded a medal. It came up on reward and if that was a bug or me losing it was a bug, either way it shouldn't have happened and just made it annoying.
If it could have been activate-able from the backpack it would have niche uses, primarily for tanks before a large pull. However, as people have said it can't be hotkeyed like this there are far better choices for potion slots. Personally I prefer Health Stone/Potion/Other and the Horn is simply not the best choice for my last slot with its 10 (minimum 5) minutes cooldown.
Given that it could be activated from inventory, you would not be able to see its cooldown so that would be a new trouble.
ALL,
What do you consider the best rewards from this event? Is it the horn, medic or other? And can someone dumb down why you can't get these items for f2f players. Seems to me, you can get the horn without paying zen, but maybe I missed some info somewhere.

for tank classes , GF GWF DC it might be very useful in PVP
since u get constant hit, its end up to 2K temp hp every 4 sec (might be 1k win PVP)
I don't know if its got animation time (like tymora coin)
in pve I see myself spam it all the time for the 50% speed

still didn't got it but it looks useful...
What? How could it end up being used every 4 seconds? It has 10 minutes cooldown, which means 600 seconds.

The horn is 50k at the auction house. That doesn't seem like an item that is gated by zen. That sounds like the item is easy enough to farm
Well, I did the event for a couple of hours with two different characters and although it is quite fun, it is not giving me anything that is worth having or worth my time. I have 14 characters and 11 of them are level 60 and only three have been to Sharandar and Dread Ring and none of them have done Icewind Dale yet.
I have a writ or something and a couple of hundred dragon thingies, but none of the medal things and you need 7 of them to get "a chance" of getting a Refiner's Cache.
The absolutely LAST thing I need is a Companion or a Mount that is BoP.
I'm sorry, Cryptic, I have loved this game since I started in February, but compared with Orc Assault, your CTA events have gone down and down and down hill all the way in quality. This event is just a waste of my time. There's no way I would grind this for a week, even if I could buy a guaranteed Refiner's Cache outright and it had a guaranteed Brilliant Diamond in it. What will that do? Get my artifact from level 80 to 82?
Rather than one character doing this event until I go blind on the off chance I might get the drops to get the chance of getting a Refiner's Cache, my time is better spent doing Sharandar, Dread Ring and Ice Wind Dale, plus Foundries, Dungeons, PvP and Gauntlgrym for Rhix and Lord Neverember. That gives me AD-a-Go-Go, plenty of runes and enchants and enough Glory and Seals to get Profound Armour for my TR.
The only decent drops I have had so far are due to my Dragon Horde enchant.

Did Refiner's Cache suddenly get a buff? As far as I know, it never is your main reason to do an event.

No, I think it got a nerf at some point. And don't forget, when I started playing, the days of 99 Rank 5 Radiants for 60k AD and Coalescent Wards for 200k were long gone. But I did manage to get a lot of Greater Bags of Holding for 200 to 300k. The Refiner's Cache was always the main reason for me. And the Unbound Companions.
In Orc Assault, level 60 gear and Rank 2 to 5 Runes and Enchants were dropping all over the place and I got a ton of Medallions of Battle. The Refiner's Caches were 50 Medallions each and I think I ended up with 89 of them - but as I remember, that was after the next CTA as the first time I did not realise I could spend them. In fact, I think I did not realise I even HAD them! DUH!
So, after my second CTA I had thousands of them. And I think seven Moonshea Druids and six Fire Sprites.
I also had a pile of:
Greater Mark of Potency
Mark of Potency
Lesser Mark of Potency
Aquamarine
Peridot
But I did not get a Flawless Sapphire.
So, yeah, it was one of the main reasons for me. I made a post somewhere about what I got in a thread where people were complaining they had not got a single companion. I felt a bit guilty that I had half-a-dozen. They used to be in the Skirmish chest and were never BoP. I even got a green Lantern of Revelation for no apparent reason.
But now, it is not worth the time as Companions and Mounts always seem to be BoP. I might do the professions and get the Dragon Glyphs or something, but none of my 11 level 60 characters have Black Ice gear so I have no Overload slots.
I would prefer to spam for Glory, AD and boons with my TR.
I'm sure some new players would get something they can use, but the Events seem to be focused against long-time players - especially those who have been playing four times longer than me. But it is good that they are doing something to help out newbies.
The Summer Festival was not so bad. 13 of my 14 characters (one is only level 3) ended up with well over 100 Pinata each. I'll be whacking those until Kingdom Come! And they were useful for Double Refining.
But, again, all the Mounts and Companions were BoP, so they were absolutely worthless to me. I have 2 account-wide Epic mounts and all my characters have 5 Companions already. One has seven, six of which are purple.

You cannot get the purple medic without zen.
It's a math thing.

I don't know if its got animation time (like tymora coin)

still didn't got it but it looks useful...
And have you actually got it or not?

my mistake. the temp buff is 8 sec. so at the end its 300se cool time (shortest time possible...)
not that useful

And that is really sad.
