I’d rather not have to ask mapchat for “events?”, but with this issue I have with the content finder not finding any events within my area (even though I completed the map). Is anyone else having this issue?

I was actually going to start a thread myself on this issue. If the content guide is working as intended, then its poorly designed. It works in certain scenarios but not in others especially when it comes to informing you about events. For eg: when completing a particular map and u have it on default settings, or even PS disabled, you get notified for things that give you map completion, ie: heart, vistas etc, and you can even see events if u zoom the map out.
However, once u complete that map, it shows u nothing. It auto switches to ur PS story guide even when disabled and it constantly points you to the next map you still got exploration to do. But no events can be seen on the map any longer. The only time you can see the events is if u come very close to them, but that’s how they used to work under the old system.
Oddly enough, for my chars that have 100% world and PS completion and with content guide at default setting, it shows me events on the entire map. So to me, the whole thing is a bit of a mish mash and really needs to be fixed and standardized.
I feel actually bad as i was advising people constantly asking “any events?” in the map chat to turn on their content guide to see the events on entire map, as that is how it worked for my completed characters. But since i started lvling alts, i’ve found the new content guide very confusing until i figured out the inconsistencies and i’ve played since head start. So i can only imagine how confused new players would be by this guide.
The available options are too few and they don’t work as described. For eg: it says disable personal story but it doesn’t really disable it, it’s always showing on ur UI and the map itself. All it does it switches priorities on what it shows u first, putting other things u can do in a particular map ahead of the personal story. People don’t really need to have a big blue dot on the exists out of the map to tell them there’s stuff in the next map they can do. All they have to do is view the world map to see undiscovered areas in the world. Those big blue dots would have better served players if they’ve showing where the events are in the map they’re in. More options could be added, to only show events or exploration guide, or Personal story and if u disable something it really is disabled.
