Guild Wars 2

Has anyone seen the firefly event spawn lately? the one out in Caledon Forest? Ive been trying to do it for the past two days now, and have yet to see it spawn once. the follow up event keeps spawning, but the firefly event is elusive..

Is this the one where you light lamps using essences that drop off fireflies? I just did that one (and the follow-up) a couple of weeks ago when Caledon Forest Events was one of the dailies, but I haven’t been in that area since. I don’t think much has changed between then and now, though!

Might be, its right outside the gate thought i know that, in the village near the trainers.
I just started playing 3 days ago after a good 2 month break and its refusing to spawn for me, and no one in my guild has seen it either

It has like a 30 min cool-down.

I havent even seen it spawn once…ive tried 5 or 6 different map instances in the last two days, and it hasnt spawned, ive stayed in those maps for an hour at the minimum.

Update..
The follow up event spawned for the third time in the current map im in, but not the firefly one.

Update 2.
Fourth time without the firefly event spawning.

So you did not get the event where you have to gather items and turn them in?

That is correct, across multiple maps, across multiple days.

Did the mosquito event succeed?

Every single time so far

Weird. I’m gonna go check it out later tonight and see if I can duplicate that result.

Yeah. I may go there too. It could be bugged.

Did it yesterday. Nothing unusual happened as far as I’m aware.

Finally spawned for me after a bit of map hopping, no clue why it wasnt spawning though

In the future if this happens to you, try guesting then going back on the map. It’s easier that way to get on different overflows.

Hmm will do, thank!

I’m almost certain this event is tied with the game’s day/night cycle, so you have to wait until sunset/the beginning of night before it’ll trigger.
