Please make events across the entire area appear on the map so everyone in the area knows exactly where an event is happening.

There’s so many times you can be screwing around just a tiny area away from where the notification pops up and you end up missing it. Without a reliable standard questing system, it’s important for players to know where they can go for events so they don’t just end up running around aimlessly.

I think this would really help a lot.

Good point.

There are a few NPCs telling you that something is going on if you talk to them the event is shown on the map. However, the event is usually so far away that it is over when I get to the place.

I think the event notification is rather good, if not outright excellent. World events are notified over a wide area, whereas local events are notified only when you are closer to them: The idea for these is not that you race all over the map to get to them, I think, they are just things that are going on in the area you are in at the time. One thing they might do though is to remove event notifications when the event is >50% done so one isn’t attracted to events that will soon be done.

It may be that in some areas events are a bit sparse, but they have said they will be adding new ones throughout the lifetime of the game to fill in the gaps a bit.

How come there is no Dev here, agreeing with this suggestion? This is an amazing idea. I have though of this and want it so bad. Hope they listen to you and all of us.

It would be nice if we were notified of all the DEs happening in the zone we’re in. So basically, change the notifications from “local” to “zone-wide.”

I’ve had notifications pop up and I’ve activated the map to see where they are and seen nothing on the map at all. Whether it’s a bit of uncovered map or a glitch I’m not sure but it’s not helpful when that happens!

I would be fine with just the big boss type events showing across the map. It would be nice to see that the big shadow demon in Queensdale is summoned while being over by farm etc.
