Guild Wars 2

It’s only natural you’ll find more negative feedback than positive in a forum such as this due to the fact that if people are satisfied, they’ll just play and enjoy a game. If people are dissatisfied however they’ll tend to speak up about it.

That being said I think it’s important to take note of very positive new additions in the game which I personally think have been making the whole game experience better; new events.

Recently I made a friend start playing with me, being a brand new player we’ve been taking it slow so he can fully appreciate and understand the game. Redoing with care the low level areas I’ve noticed a lot of new events as well as new event chains.

This made leveling up more fun and immersive all together.

I’ve noticed some events or resulting chains were added to minor events around the map which make the whole “things are happening and there are consequences to them” more believable. With actual new events which result from failing in different ways.

Having new events in the areas not only make playing that area more fun but adding more thought out events like some I’ve seen (even if simple) help you get interested in the world.

I just wanted to speak up to say this is very appreciated and I think we’d all benefit from even more events and event chains all around. Making the whole feel of the area more personal and interesting.

It gives a player a true sense of interaction with the world. I think if more of the smaller simpler events had larger chains which came from various methods of succeeding or failing said event, it would make the whole experience richer.

All in all, just wanted to say these events are not going by unnoticed and they’re appreciated.

AFAIK the last time events were added to the game (except big stuff like Tequatl), was back in November. If we’re just noticing them ten months later…they’re probably not that effective in making people stand up and take notice.

Still I’m glad some people are enjoying them.

I think I’ve read a few dev posts in which they commented on adding small changes to events or few events scattered around the map from time to time. Not talking about the lost shores new bunch of events back in November.

I think part of the problem is they never say where these new events have been added.

When they first added a load back in November I wanted to try them. I looked on the official site, the wiki, even 3rd party sites and I couldn’t find any information on what or where these events are and eventually I gave up.

(These weren’t the Lost Shores ones, which were one-time only and clearly announced when they started. They were normal, reoccuring dynamic events added just after the Halloween update.)

Since then I’ve probably done some of them. But I don’t know. Because of the way dynamic event work I think the only way you could know for sure one was new was if you’d spent so much time in the area before it was updated that you were certain you’d done every single one, and given some of them are relatively rare (or at least rarely triggered) that would be hard to do.

This makes a lot of sense. I’m not sure if its because the populations are lower in those starting areas, or if they’ve just filled in the holes that existed before, but the events flow together much better. I’ve noticed that there is always a chain, always something to do. At launch it felt like they were rarer and more disconnected and random.
