Guild Wars 2

The past weekend, I went to Orr to finish my daily achievment. I made it a habit to do the events and the gathering there. As always, I port to Malchor’s Leap first. Usually, the trebuchets are being attacked, some troups need an escort, a risen knight (flying vet) wants to be killed and the chickens in their pens are revolting.

Now, however, there’s… nothing. A group-event (eye of zaithan) that my party-of-2 doesn’t want to take on alone. And… that’s more or less it. After having the gathering part done, I head on over to the Cursed Shore. Again, no events. We go to that island off the west coast. Nothing.

So what we did was go to WvW to find some events.

What happened to Orr? It used to be a place where you would often see several events on the minimap at the same time. There was always stuff happening and that was fun. Now it was just a risen-filled area without purpose. Did they lower the number of events spawned there? Why? To make the new tropical island of boredom look better?

There’s just less people in these zones since the last patch. Some of the events seem to react to the amount of people around but many of them need to be started. If you are with a couple of people you should be able to start many of the chains yourself.
