Guild Wars 2

Why isn’t a character, who has “Metrica Province Completed – 100%”, allowed an access to all the outgoing events in entire Metrica Province but instead that character has to be “nearby” in order for that even to show on the map? That would make more sense – all the way points, vistas, points of interest have been completed and all the more important NPCs in the area have been discovered and talked to.

That would speed up the completion of the daily.

The completed hearts, after the map is completed 100%, can be added to the list of the events, that way there is a bigger list of randomly selected ongoing events from which the player can pick those that are easy for them to do or the rewards are higher. In fact the color of the event on the map should reflect what reward the player would get – gold, silver, copper – if they decide to join the event at that moment and fully participate till completion, with a small timer showing the seconds left before gold turns into silver, and silver into copper.

P.S. I had the same problem doing the event daily in “Plains of Ashford”. After running around for some time trying to find any active events and being able to find and finish only two of them, I took the waypoint either to Temperus point then tab out as I had to do something else, I figured if I give the game some time eventually it will start an event next to me. But I got busy and I forgot that the game was still running. Then I went to bed, then to work and when I came back from work and started the game, I was rewarded for completing the daily – apparently somehow my character was “involved” in competing two events while being “away”. I find it quite strange that in this case the game instead of helping the players when they are actively trying to participate in the play and get something done, rewards them for “idling and not playing” the game.

I’dunno, even though the asura got big ears, I doubt anyone can hear when the bomb golem is active AAAALLLL the way from the Rata sum entrance. P:

Besides, if you wanna do events, just ask map chat – someone’s probably near one and will point it out. That’s about the fastest I can think of.

Originally, didn’t all events show? But then it was too much info, so they reduced it to show only nearby events? While on “daily event” days that would be good, the rest of the time I think it would be too much info.

Yes … although I don’t recall the reason for the change. Might have been at the same time as the NPE.

Edit: You don’t need to be nearby for an event to show but it will only show the nearest which can be annoying with broken events or events with long timers.

Having just local events probably helps running speeds and prevents server crashes, but I can’t say for sure

They could just limit that to the area where the event daily is.
