This is my story: I was at one of the adventures (the one near the itzel outpost) trying to do it, but it told me that won’t be enabled until the outpost is activated. So I go to that outpost trying to find how to activate it and I find an npc with a weird icon on the head near the waypoint (the NPC has the outpost icon actually). I speak to him and it tells me a lot of stuff, but one of the questions that my character can make is “what’s going on?”. That was the beggining of the most awesome part of beta.
That NPC told me to go west to help some hunters. I go and help then. What now?
I’m lost so I go back to that NPC and see if I can claim the outpost, but he tells me now to protect hunters at the East, so I go and we try (15 players) to defend them from dinosaurs (but we fail lol).
I don’t know where to go, so I go back to that NPC and the town is on fire from the wyvern! The NPC tells me to clean up the fire with buckets of water so I do that.
Now I go back to the NPC directly, waiting for his wisdom and he does tell me where to go next! That starts an epic stroll into the jungle.
First we defend some npcs from the enemies trying to convert them into another religion and kill them, following our new friends across the map.
Then we break down the enemies faith by interupting its speech, throwing rotten fruit to them! That part was really fun.
Then we rescue a big hylek that wants to get wyvern eggs. And that part is awesome, the eggs are at the top of some jumping puzzles and everyone is going up, getting them and gliding down! And the eggs can be destroyed if you receive damage (even fall damage) so you need to be carefully.
At that point I dare to go to the wisdom NPC once again even though is pretty obvious that I need to follow the big Hylek. And yup, he tells me to follow that one so I go back to him.
We go to the enemy camp with the wyvern eggs, and we place them around while the enemies try to remove then quickly. I didn’t get why they do that until we suceed the event.
The wyvern lands at the enemy camp, to get their eggs, killing them and us. So we fight hard and we try to stun him so he doesn’t fly (we believe it heals if he does).
When the wyvern is finally killed, I go back to my new wise friend and he tells me the magic words: “The camp is now safe”.
So I go back to the adventure and yes! I can play that one. Although I soon realize that I need to have masteries for most stuff in there and that discourages me. Then I think about that famous Anet words: The journey is the goal and I can’t stop laughing. The Itzel outpost chain events with my wise new friend and the wyvern… what a journey! This wasn’t a random NPC doing an event that I follow around, this one created a bound with me!
+1 to Anet for that one. Kudos! I hope the expansión have that level of awesomeness all around.
That chain of events was pretty cool. Though our instance didn’t get any wyvern at the end. We planted the eggs, event completed, then nothing happened. Did you claim the outpost once the wyvern died? I was kind of bummed we didn’t get the outpost because the quest chain broke.

Maybe you failed the event at placing the eggs? We did get them done succesfully and then the wyvern landed without issues. After that we didn’t had to claim the outpost, it was automatically claimed.
So far I have done the iztel event chain in the 1st beta block then the south ruins event chain in the 2nd beta block and I gotta say I absolutely loved both of these day events. I am just disappointed at how bad and uninteresting the night events feel compared to these

No. It certainly bugged. We placed all the eggs. The lorekeeper mentioned a wyverrn attacking, but then nothing happened.
Thankfully, it did work right in the final beta test.
