Guild Wars 2

I like the DEs I’ve done so far, they are fun and its a great idea. But I’ve been told, and mostly read, that they change the world and activate chain events… but I haven’t seen either one. Granted I am only a lvl 22 asura necro so that might have a lot to do with it. But basically I play a DE and then 10-20 mins later the exact same DE is up or I’m already out of the area. I have yet to see a DE cause a new DE to appear or change the world. Now that the novelty has worn off I am starting to lose interest. Is this going to change as I level up or is this what I should expect for the rest of the game? Maybe the game calculates the success to failure ratioand then implementes changes next week? I don’t know so if someone could give me their 2 cents or perhaps better describe DEs in detail id really appreciate it.

Most dynamic events don’t lead into a chain. If you succeed in doing the event, it goes away, usually if the event is failed, it will be a different event right on the same area to take back the land or whatever, but that’s not really a chain.

The chains are generally part of the meta events with bosses at the end. Usually there is a number of dynamic events 1 after the other to do the whole chain and fight the boss. I know one of the ones in orr ( Eye of Zhaitan catacombs one) that if you do all the events related to this chain, it’s 14 or 15 events. But then it resets and starts again, so you could be right in saying they don’t really change the world.

There are a few exceptions but not many unfortunately.

The only changes you’ll see are if you fail an event where you are protecting something, and you have to retake it. Which there are a lot of.

So even though the DE’s aren’t quite as dynamic and exciting as they probably should be, just don’t worry about it, and enjoy doing them like you have so far, just don’t expect them to all lead into something. Although, a handy tip could be to wait around for a minute after the event if you see NPC’s talking to eachother, because there will probably be a new event right after.

Well its good to know things spice up later on

Wait till you get into the northern part of the hirathi hinterlands – you’ll see a good example of the chain reaction there .

There are actually a lot of quest chains, even in starter zones. But usually you have to stick around after completing an event. But don’t expect them to change the world, there are very few events that do such a thing.
