Guild Wars 2

Hello!

Are there good strategies for this events?

1) Most players are zerging instead of rescuing the people. Is there a way to avoid that?

2) What’s the best way to obtain XPs?

3) Nooby question: On my screen I hardly see the mobs, is there a way to make this more visible like “deactivating” the player objects and just showing their names?

0) Yes there are. For escort events, stay close to the group, but make sure you kill at least one mob that is connected with the event (usually they spawn in a big group in the path of civilians you are escorting). For miasma events, if there are more than 10 players present, just walk away. For boss events, kill kill kill
1) Party up and get the group away to a place that needs civilian escorts. Too many people in a zerg is a recipe for dying. Unfortunately, even concerted efforts can’t really prevent the zerging, but you can find like-minded people and work elsewhere.
2) Killing is actually a poor means of getting XP and always has been. Successful events and completing achievements will net you more. Also, you can trade Belongings for level-up scrolls.
3) Check your video options and reduce the settings. There should also be one for ‘culling’ which removes or forces onscreen player and monster models

The setting is “Character Model Limit”, culling isn’t mentioned anywhere in the settings.

You can roam around with 2-3 people(assuming lv80) rescuing citizens. http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1yfitm/lions_arch_civilian_location_map/ has a helpful map of the locations of the citizens, they escape route and whether they need to be escorted out.

And bring 8 people for miasma events.

Very nice maps, thank you both for sharing.
