Guild Wars 2

I’ve been lurking around the forums and no one’s been talking about any new events added in the Halloween patch, which I think is kinda odd. Out of those 30+ new events they added, at least one has got to be really interesting.

Anyways, post here if you know of any new events, or if you know of an really interesting event chain, even if it’s old.

Added? Weren’t those fixed?

Check the events section:
“Added over 30 events across the game.”

Found “There is a skritt burglar on the loose in Tyria.” event.

I think the “Catch Rabbits that eat water-melon” event in Queensdale is new. Never saw that before. At first I thought it was a part of Halloween. It is fun and should stay after Halloween.

Nah, that’s been there since the beginning, Holo. It just seems to be a bit rarer than bandits in the fields, and poisoning the water supply. It could also be that we’re pretty much directed to the first renown heart as soon as we get into Queensdale, and not near where the melons/rabbits are, so it’s not as noticeable.

One I’ve noticed is in Mount Maelstrom that opens a portal leading to the new jumping puzzle.

Thanks for the info. I am really surprised that I have never seen that before. I have completed QD like 10 times (including WBE) and I don’t remember I have done that before. Perhaps the occurrence rate was extremely low and they have adjusted it.

I think the events they were talking about was the Lunatic Halloween chain stuff.

nope, they said 30 events not related to halloween

I believe the dredge siege on the Kodan village to the west of the Claw of Jormag’s spawn is new, I sure never saw it before that update.

There’s an event to find fire opals in the cave just outside Rata Sum that I’d never seen before the halloween patch.

Nah, I’ve done the fire opal one before Halloween.

That has always been there

Haven’t seen any.
Yea the fire opal one has been there for a while now, I did it a month or two back

I would guess that the new guild that we’re supposed to fight made up a large portion of those events along with the skritt burgler/chest events.

Both the rabbits and the fire opal DEs have been there since the beginning, with the rabbits happening less frequently than the fire opal one. BTW – the Fire Opal one is linked to other events, follow them out to watch the golems battle. Eventually there will be a battle royal / transformers / power ranger type fight which is actually really awesome

I wonder if the events around the new mini-dungeon counted in the thirty as well… I haven’t found any new events – but I also wasn’t at 100% when the patch hit, so I might have run into a couple without realising it. . . the Wiki lists every DE (or at least they’re trying to) you can check each event that you encounter against that to see if you can find it. Also in the :talk: there might be some discussion about which events were added and when. If there’s not then we should probably all get to work

(edited – forgot to add the word skritt in the first sentance)

whales on the beach….LOTS OF WHALES

Got trashed by Modus Sceleris in Fireheart Rise. Went to investigate a juicy looking chest, and when I opened it, it vanished, and suddenly charr were everywhere and throwing grenades at me. Combination of surprise and very tough mobs got me killed in seconds.

As far as I can tell they’re supposed to be a griefing guild or something? All the mobs have [Guild Leader] or [Guild Initiate] or something next to their names.

Anyway as I understand it the Modus Sceleris events are all new.

Saw an event outside of Meddler’s in Cursed Shore today, that I’d never encountered before.

To the north where the oozes hang out, Champion Ooze spawned and started an event.

In Sparkfly Fen, my group ran across two Orrian Commander events. The title was Get revenge for Tybalt and for Sieren. I had never seen either one there before, and I spent a lot of time in Sparkfly.

There was a quiz on Orrian history in Malchor’s Leap that I had never seen before. It may have been there from the start but rarely triggered.

Ran into a Skritt Burglar in Mount Maelstrom.

Saw a Modus Sceleris group somewhere (sorry, forget where) but they did not trigger an event.

Events associated with the new jumping puzzles, Dierdre’s Steps in Mount Maelstrom, and Vexa’s Lab in Fireheart Rise. They’re new but I consider them not truly among the thirty new events.
