Guild Wars 2

The number of events is extremly low (every region: Aurora Glade and Whiteside Ridge). It takes hours to get the 5 events needed for the daily achievement.

I usually get my five events in less than an hour, wandering around the world. I don’t see how you can be missing them.

I have noticed that some areas seem to be lacking in the event catagory. Or some areas have them yet they arent on the main road so you have to go find them.

But what ever the case, some areas i cant move without hitting them, some I never even see them.

Counterpoint: Guild Wars 2 likely has around 1500 different dynamic events, suggesting that the number of events is extremely high.

Also, Aurora Glade and Whiteside Ridge are EU servers within the same region, but it doesn’t matter because dynamic events are not unique to certain servers, aside from when they start.

Could not agree more with this. My #1 pet peve in this game. DE are extreamely rare. I spent 3 hours yesterday in Mount Maelstrom and seen only 1 DE happen. By the time I made it there, it was over……….

I agree.

Before i played i was under the impression that Dynamic Events would be numerous, around every corner.

I was wrong.

My point is that I find too few of them or they don’t happen often enough.

I think this is an issue with the areas I’m in and their current population. I know other people on the some server who don’t have a problem with this. They are higher level and thus usually in other areas.

The numbers of events seem to vary immensely zone-by-zone. For instance, I finished all 5 events for my daily yesterday in about 10 minutes by zoning into the Plains of Ashford (Charr starting area) and running to the Ascalonian Catacombs entrance. It seemed that every step of the way had a new event spawning.

Running through Gendarran Feilds though I could go for an hour without seeing a single event.

I wish there was a hot zone alert for zones with a high amount of DE’s going. That way I could at least chose weather to stay where i’m at or go elsewhere. But something needs to be done about it.

I honestly think something is broken with events. The official line is that we are supposed to level mainly from DE’s and use hearts to round things out, but for the past few days I can barely find any events. The few I do find seem to be bugged and stuck in a never ending cycle [Ehmry Bay]. I’m seriously thinking about transferring servers to see if things work better elsewhere. As it is I tend to see more events in overflow! “Travel to Home World?” No thank you…

ALso remember what the devs have said. The DE’s are on a cycle. Sometimes they can chain another 3 -4 events in the same area, or even lead off to another and chain more. These events also dont always happen immediately. They could take hours, days, or in some DE chains, weeks.

I dont know what game you guys are playing (or more where in the game you are playing) but I find event after event after event. So much so, that often I can game for 3hrs and get nothing done but events!

Um, I think it is just with certain areas. I’ve been having tons of events.

ArenaNet have said that they’ll be adding events into the game steadily, so of there are any particular areas you feel could use some more DE love, I’m sure they’d appreciate it.

They seem to hang out more in the suggestion area, so if you want to post a suggestion along the lines of “x area could really use more dynamic events”, they’re very likely to see it.

There needs to be more events added to the middle of the game. Playing through I noticed there were a ton of events in the starting areas, and it really thins out as you approach the mid-level areas (30+)… and then unfortunately when some of those mid-level events are bugged it’s really noticeable..
I’m sure they will add to the game but I hope they don’t just focus on endgame – the mid-levels could use some more too! The same attention paid to the starting zones should carry through to the rest of the regions, in my opinion.

There are plenty of events, the problem being that most are bugged and frozen from level fifty up.
