Did anyone access the Orc Assault Event?

After reading about the Orc Assault event on the character screen yesterday, I was excited to try out the new Skirmish Event. While there were some minor queue issues the developers had to address, I was unable to get to try out the event. I was curious if anybody challenged it and what was your experience and/or loot?

I am currently at work at the moment and do not know if they eventually put the event module back online after they fixed the queue lockout.

    One of the moderators posted that it was being indefinitely delayed until issues with the queues were resolved.

    I was able to play it two days ago. Didn't realize it is unplayable now.

    "Call to Arms" is different than normal daily skirmishes, usually come with a chance to get stuff not normally available in game (mounts/companions/etc).

    Assuming they missed something w/ the CTA that screwed up the entire QUE system, so they had to shelve it for the time being.

    http://neverwinter.gamepedia.com/Moonshae_Druid

    ^ for example was one of the possible drops from one of the PC version skirmish events on PC earlier this year.

    "A Call to Arms is an enhanced, limited time version of a normal skirmish that permits levels 6-60 to queue for it.

    These events have enhanced drop tables with special items like rare pets and themed weapons intended for transmute use.

    Teams can be mixed between a wide level range, and the monsters auto scale their damage given and received as appropriate to each character.

    It appears that each character will appear to themselves to be flagged as the party leader when entering the queue singly. When joining a team then leadership will be assigned as normal.

    A Call to Arms only counts as a level appropriate skirmish for Daily Skirmish purposes if the normal version would be in the correct range for the character.

    A Call to Arms does count as a Skirmish for purposes of earning the Skirmish event hour reward of 1000 Rough Astral Diamond.

    A Call to Arms does count towards earning a Skirmish's achievement.

    Loot Mode is always set to Round Robin.

    General monster drops appear to be dictated by the level of the character that dealt the majority of damage to monster, so in a group of mixed low and high level characters much of the gear dropped will be unusable by the lower level ones (though still sellable obviously)."

    Okay, so that sounds like fun!

    Thank you for the posting and information. I hope the event returns soon. It would be a great way for me to play with friends since I out level them by about 10-20 levels.

    Lets hope the event returns soon!
