Event in Wizard's Fief?
The event where you defeat the elemental is a Hero challenge.

If I remember correctly it was one of the places the karka attacked during the Lost Shores event.
could that be what you’re remembering?
“Life’s a journey, not a destination.”
I believe there was some sort of defense event there but I can’t recall if we were fighting the elementals or fighting with them.
Karka were attacking that town
I remember something to do with the ice elementals as well, but always put it down to my imagination putting something in my head that didn’t exist. Would be interested if you find out what this event was if it existed.
That tower would be a cool place for a dungeon

I am convinced that early in the game I participated in an event where the elementals went berserk and you had to save the town. But no mention of that anywhere now. Did I dream it?
I have seen several threads about Wizard’s Fief but they all talk about possible events in the future that may be implemented here, and the Wizards tower that you currently can not reach.
Was this a temporary event maybe? But then I would have expected it to be mentioned on the wiki as a historical event.
It is obvious that there are many hints in the dialogue that those Elementals may become hostile (or have been in the past).
You are correct: there used to be a “save the town” event (like so many that occur throughout Tyria) where the elementals had an uprising or some such. I played it also in early days. Maybe it was in the Beta and they took it out. Did you play the Beta?

I think you’re right here…I remember playing it in the Beta weekends…it was a dynamic event…but after full launch, if I did play it…it wasn’t there very long…:)
I can because I want to
I want to because you said I couldn’t
Kessex in particular, dramatically changed during Season 1 https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Living_World_season_1
Unfortunately S1 isn’t repayable, and many little dynamic events that existed prior to S1 (not just in Kessex, but throughout tyria) are retired.
It would be really nice if we could go back, and see how, well…simplistic things were in that first year.

Yes, I indeed played beta weekends, that must have been it! And as Hazy replied, apparently they retired some events after LS1 so it might have been there still at release but not for very long.
It was definately not the Karka event: I kinda missed that entire episode since I had stopped playing then. And it was definately the Elementals we were fighting.
I am glad that I did not dream it. It is a pity it is gone, because I find that particular location/town one of the coolest locations in the game. And GW2 has a LOT of beautiful locations. If Anet ever implements some kind of instanced housing then I would want my clickable door in Wizard’s Fief.
Thanks for all the answers, guys.
It wasn’t a beta specific event since I wasn’t at the beta and I remember the event
Do remember some events (still in the game) are only triggered when there is a high enough concentration of players in the area (of the event).
Thus, the event may still be in-game, and just hasn’t been triggered in a long time.
omg, yeah, I remember that event too from the early days where ice elementals would spawn all around the town and just outside of it along the road leading into the town. I had forgotten about that. Never occurred to me that it was gone…….though a LOT of things have changed or been removed from the game over the years, especially from the low level maps.
There seem to be some events that only trigger very rarely. In queensdale the bandits on the bridge and the rampaging bull are a couple of events that very rarely show up. Maybe they only trigger when local map population is above a certain amount because the times I saw them was at launch and then again when the game went f2p. The elemental event might be one that has some sort of population nearby trigger.

That would be very interesting if it was true, we (players) should try to get it to trigger one day.
Someone with a large guild should just run down there for a bit one day and see. It would be fun to see if it is still in the game.
