Guild Wars 2

Back at launch the frequency of the starter zones was higher. This allowed us to not worry so much about the hearts and vistas and get bored. Perhaps it might be a good idea to increase the frequency of the events so players don’t get bored from hearts.

They should especially do this for the hearts that REQUIRE the events in order to get heart completion. Waiting almost an entire hour for an event to trigger to get map completion is just aggravating.

Maybe they are. I’m seeing events in the Queensdale starter zone I haven’t seen in a very long time. The Drake broodmother, the rogue bull and an escort event by the apple orchards. I don’t recall seeing these since not long after launch and my key runner is in that area pretty frequently.

I don’t think the frequency has been reduced, although some events are gone.

That said, I wouldn’t mind seeing more low level events in general. Decreasing respawn time is the cheapest way to do that.

I find that some events run almost continually. Queensdale the guy collecting scale eggs, you can finish it, go outside with the trash, or take a walk to the bathroom or something and it is ready again (slight exaggeration). In Kessex Hills you can almost sit and wait for the whole Centaur war event chain.

I would like to see more variation in events, I tend to see the same ones over and over. Would be interesting to see them tie together more events, so they chain together from where one ends to another one starts. So you can literally follow through 3-4 events in a row and see some that is more rare nowadays.

They had to decreased it. Back in launch events became farm fest due to its fast spawn specialy in lvl 80 areas. Now it’s more balanced imo.

According to the Devs, many events spawn triggers are population in the area. With an influx of people, we see some seldom seen events, again. That’s why there were so many events spawning back at launch, and why, over time, it seemed they were retired.

The one in Diessa Plateau called “Assist the Ash Legion” .
There’s an event that takes forever to start but is the only normal paced way to complete the heart. Players can get lucky and get a mob to randomly jump out if they walk into the right spot but there’s not enough and the progress is so miniscule that by the time they respawn the even is close to starting and it ends up taking almost an hour anyway. This was a long time ago, however, that I had this problem. I remember having another heart that took similarly as long but it’s been far off my thoughts and I don’t remember. Anyway, people have made forum posts about this heart taking too long to complete before.

@ Brigantia: I did this one 2 days back, still the same. Took be about an hour to get it.

And yes, I do wish that specifically the events around a heart spawned more often, since the hearts are usually very boring to do without them. (Stuff like the clear the spiders and gather the apples around the heart with the apple farmer in queensdale etc).

The point is that outside of the events, there are no mobs on that heart. I caught the tail of that event, and got a couple of kills, then randomly spawned one big guy every 5-10 min. Until the event finally spawned again, and I could run around the bottom ring and kill normal grunts until I completed the heart. I sat for an hour at that place just waiting for grunts to kill

Thankfully I had a silly guild-chat to read, so it wasn’t so horrible.

Kessex. Drool. I am leveling up a character right now and shot up from 25 to halfway through 27 yesterday just running between several different centaur and toxic events. One would be winding down and I would just start up with the one next to it. I must have done just the spider 3 times. I wound up leaving between being bored and having to be elsewhere. Even trying to leave the area I kept running into more events, so much so that I wound up just waypointing to get out of there.

For levels in the teens I would suggest Diessa at the festival near the way to get to Wayfarer Foothills. There is always at least 1 event going or about to start at it.

Some people may have other suggestions but you may want to consider the starter area bosses. Their pres spawn every 30 minutes but if you forget which one is when a boss timer will tell you. You should complete all of the events there with a few minutes to spare before the next one. That does bring up an interesting point though: why is their not a charr starter area boss?
