Guild Wars 2

Hello, its been months since the feature update back in april, i don’t do temple events often, but i have been wondering for awhile if there are timers for the events at Temples in Orr. I just miss doing them since the feature update there has been no timers for those events, and i don’t want to hang around the same map for hours just to wait for the event to start because i love doing other stuff in the game as well. I don’t know if the devs said anything about this, or if they are working on this, or if i missed a patch note, but if anyone has an answer to this it would be great, thanks in advance.

wow i guess no one knows, 6 hrs no response.

So far as I know, there is no timer. Each map will have them contested upon creation, and I assume the defend events are every X amount of time after being claimed, which means you could predict when an event would next trigger for a particular instance of a map, but couldn’t make any assumptions of the map in general or any reliable long term predictions.

I heard a couple players briefly say something that I interpreted as meaning that all the temples reset at the daily reset, but I have no idea if that’s true, and haven’t particularly felt like testing it.

There are no event timers for temples now. Due to various megaserver maps not being in sync, and also due to the fact that defense events actually succeed now, there’s no way to set a timer on them.

Like others have said, there’s no functional way to track and use event API status currently.

You can get current IP on the shard you’re connected to by using /ip ingame. Some resource node tracking sites are using this feature to map by IP. But as there’s no way to join a specific IP, there’s no point in updating the API event trackers for world events.

There’s no daily reset. They probably either meant that the chests reset at dailies, or simply that because there’s more players around peak hours near daily reset, they’re getting into new fresh megaserver copies of the map with everything reset.

Best you can do is have guildies and friends who may be in those maps already report status to you, camp the maps til the event you want is up, or play during peak hours to increase chance of getting on a new copy.

I was running around Orr this weekend and did 5 Temple Events just by stumbling upon them. Doesn’t allow any planning, but the events were happening more often than previous (since MS release).
