Guild Wars 2

As someone that’s working on their first PvE character, I’ve noticed that aside from the random areas I come across zerg farmers, I hardly see people while doing Map Completion whilst leveling and getting ready for the next story mission. Some of the Dynamic Events are actually kinda’ difficult, even if you’re the required level or higher, and scaled down. Whether it’s running into a Centaur camp with a hundred Centaurs guarding the boss you’re suppose to kill, or defending a base from an army of Flame Legion Charr; I do be gettin’ pwned sometimes since I don’t see many people throughout the game.

Now, don’t take all that as a complaint, as I’m fully aware how Guild Wars and GW2 works. I probably did under 1000 Quests the near-7 years I played GW1, outside of the ones you had to complete in each respective campaign, ( Beyond not included ) and I suspect there were thousands of other players that did the same thing. So anyways, the lack of populace doing the small quests ( DE’s ) is not entirely foreign to me.

I’ll just cut to the point; should their be a title associated with completing Dynamic Events?

The pro of this, would be that it gets people out in those obscure, rarely populated areas. This in turn helps newer players who don’t have a Guild, or a friend ( QQ ) in-game to help them with the more “difficult” ones. It also gives more incentive to actively play together ( that’s not a farm-based party ) to complete DE’s in each map.

Not sure if there’s any cons. I’m sure someone will list some, as there’s always a negative Nancy.

So Title or not? I’d rather honestly have a Title track associated with this, than say, have it as an option in the Daily’s like: “Complete 5 Dynamic Events in Queensdale”. As, it’d probably be the easiest ones of the batch people would choose, which could or could not include new players, which is the point of this whole gig.

Anyways, I’d be interested in the opinion of the community. For the veterans of GW1, you probably remember the rumor of a Title Track for doing Quests a good number of years ago. I don’t know if it was actually ever talked about, but it seemed like a really good idea to me at the time, and even more with GW2. Again, it gets people out in “the field” so-to-speak, and that’s always a good thing.

Edit:

Here’s a thread that got me thinking more about it, and suggesting my…er, suggestion.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Does-ArenaNet-regret-Dynamic-Events

It’s a good read for those who haven’t checked it out and has a lot of the things I’ve been thinking about for the past 3 weeks since I’ve started.

I would say you’re on the wrong server, but mainly it’s the new event. Once all of this settles down things might return to normal again. If you’re still seeing no one doing events, then I would say it’s a problem of servers. Generally people do events, they just aren’t right now because of the value of doing the LW event and how strenuous it is.

So no, I see no value in a title for events. Events are just things that happen. That would be like getting the title for kills on your favored weapon on your main. It’s silly, because of course you’re going to get that.

And…once this LS is over with, ( assuming it ends, it’s been rumored to be permanent ) there will be a new FotM farming spot.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m in no way saying this game is hard, even with the few Dynamic Events I couldn’t complete due to over-aggroing, it’s not hard. Nor am I asking for help. I just think that it’s a shame to have all these DE’s, and I’d wager over 60% of them are never done. Some are simply outstanding, some are pretty darn funny, some are hard, some are kinda’ dumb. But ANet did a lot of hard work putting them together for us to enjoy, but instead, we…farm and then complain that there’s absolutely nothing for us to do in between LS updates.

While I personally don’t need an incentive to play the current Dynamic Events, I feel that the majority of the playerbase does, hence my suggestion. Again, adding a title is that incentive, and it inadvertently helps other players, new or old.

Just a side note: Funniest DE so far is one in Iron Marches where you escort an Order of Whispers agent to a mountain with a face carved in it. Lights it on fire, and the Grawl start worshiping him as a God. Whoever came up with that should get a raise.

And Edit, I’m on Fort Aspenwood for those that may say the server’s the issue. It may not be the most populated, but there’s a huge amount of people there, whether it’s LA, DR, or zerging for Champions in Queensdale or elsewhere.

And another Edit, as I didn’t notice the comment about Dynamic Events being compared to “weapon kills”. I disagree to a point where I want to laugh. Weapon kills title? Yeah, you’d get that in the first week playing. Dynamic Events? No. In fact, as I mentioned earlier in my post, I’d bet 60% of the DE’s are never touched.

There is no permanent content this year. Don’t listen to rumors, listen to the devs. They’re actually pretty open and vocal about these things.

ANet isn’t in the habit of just handing out titles for nothing. They’re hand out achievements for the littlest things, but not titles. So again, this isn’t a thing that’s going to happen, especially not for something like Events.

I’m starting to think you don’t fully realize just how many DE’s there are. That’s not even including LS or Meta Events. Out of all the available Titles we have for PvE, some of them are a lot easier, ( <——— understatement from Hell right there ) to get, making this Title a lot harder to get by default because of the time it’d take to trigger both the success and the failure aftermath events.

They don’t hand out Titles, you say? Combat Healer says “Hi”.

Having gotten map completion I’m well aware of the number of events. It’s also possible I don’t fully understand your suggestion, but honestly your explanation make me want even less to do with it.

I said they weren’t in the habit of it, not that they never have. Combat Healer took me a while anyway, I worked for that one.

I’m not quite sure what you could be missing. In a nutshell: Add an incentive ( a Title would be best ) for people to go check out the other 60% of the game. This gets people in the open world, and inadvertently helps newer players doing DE’s that are a little more difficult.

From what I’ve seen speculated, there’s over 1000 Dynamic Events, if not more. I’d put my money on more than that though as a good majority has success/failure Events, and some require Events to even start them. If something that’d take potentially hundreds of hours to complete not worth making a PvE Title out of, I don’t know what is.

I mentioned Combat Healer because it’s really easy to max. I had nearly 600 revives before I even left Gendarron Fields, ( 25-35 zone ) starting at 57. In one of the Waypoints, there’s a group of 5-6 Seraphs that keep getting killed by Centaurs and Skelks.
