I made a timers site http://GW2Timer.com with drawn map paths for every meta event that gives a rare, and also written mini walkthroughs for them (under the help/? icon). On the right sidebar you can open a meta event chain bar to see the individual event names, and you can click on them to see on the map.

The map paths are color ordered Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet (ROYGBIV) and each color represents a single step in the chain. I know with the megaservers more people can just tag along random commanders and get the loot, but if you want to help out more with the events and know yourself how to do them from start to finish and were too shy to ask, here is the information you need.

For more advanced players, the timer uses statistics collected via the API (pre-megaserver) to predict for you when each events in the meta event chain happens and ends so you know whether to waypoint or not if you’re late. You can see more features in the image attached.

I tested the site alone so I hope you’ll voice any concerns for it, and I’ll also appreciate criticisms and suggestions.

I’ve added some more features that reddit users suggested. If you’ve used the timer, tell me what you think about it.
