Guild Wars 2

Hi, in the patch notes Anet stated that they added 30 new events to the game. Are these Halloween-event specific events that will disappear after Halloween is over? Or are these 30 new events to be played outside of the Halloween event? The patch notes werent clear…

thanks.

I think it’s both. I’ve noticed new events in starting areas that are not related to Halloween.

I think the 30 new events refer to new permanent content aside from Halloween. I’ve found a new Jumping Puzzle, Dynamic that turned to a mini dungeon and one of the ‘griefing’ NPC guild events already. Just keep an eye out, you’ll find them.

I would like a list. I wouldn’t expect every detail but something like “5 new DEs added in Kessex, 1 new mini dungeon added in Frostgorge” would do just fine.

A nudge in the right directions rather than a detailed road map if you please.

I currently have a lvl 80 with 99.9% world completion (I am missing one Poi in a WvW keep that my server never seems to have an interest in) and a level 50 something that’s in the later parts of the game and has most of the map completed. The world is huge. It would be cool to see the new stuff, but finding it feels like looking for a needle in a haystack.

I understand the practicality of letting everyone discover the stuff. Without a checklist, 80% of the player population won’t flock to a single area waiting for a new DE to start trigger. But I get the feeling that it would actually be easier to see and do everything by making a new character and going to map completion, a third time, than it would be to try to hunt the stuff down on an existing character. Hrm…will probably wait until November content patch so I don’t have to start over again.

I ran into a new one in Queensland last night, out near where the troll champion is. Some skritt was stealing chickens (I think?) from a farm and running away with them, so you chase him down and capture him. He’ll randomly turn people attacking him into chickens for 10 seconds or so (gives you an achievement, hehe).

…chickens aren’t shiny?

i think they added spiders to the Penitent path tunnel. when one of the outposts fails, the tunnel gets infested with spiders, which means a new or fixed DE to “clear the spiders”. only new/fixed one i came across. the tunnel was empty last week.

levels for both DE’s there are now @ level 84 (enemies). definitely a funner change.
