One thing I wanted to check out in BWE2: map rewards in the non-HoT, non-Maguuma Wastes zones. So I spent 30 minutes yesterday doing events in Cursed Shore and another 45 minutes in Snowden Drifts since the daily was there and events were popping fast. On an HoT beta character, of course.
I never saw a single map reward. Based on what I read after BWE1, I expected to get a reward every 2-4 events. I checked the tool tip on the world map for the zone and watched for a bag or wiggly box with the basic reward (or one of the higher tier ones). Nada.
