Guild Wars 2

Upon arrival at Shadow Behemoth, the meta event or the active event for that area didn’t show up, unable to tell progress to spawn him.

Same with the Golem Mk 3 world boss, didn’t show on the client.

I’m having this issue as well. The meta event title/status appear in the event assistant when the event is not in motion (i.e. “The maw is quiet”.) When an event starts, it disappears completely. For the Maw, it appeared again between each event, and disappeared again when the next event in the chain would start.

Shadow Behemoth is a bit worse, because it’s not linear like the Brogun escort, and you can’t tell the status of the Secrets in the Swamp chain.

I haven’t checked other (central Tyrian) world bosses, and I haven’t noticed the issue with meta events that don’t end with a world boss (admittedly I haven’t been able to play much recently so take that last assertion with a grain of salt).

~Also I apologize if this is a known issue, I did a forum search for “meta” and even “event” and got no hits (which was… weird..), and no hits doing a search within the lengthy HoT merged bugs thread. A google search brought me to this thread, hence the reluctant thread bump.
Edit: it seems to be within a certain radius. I just did Frozen Maw, where the beginning of the chain (around Krennak’s homestead WP) appeared normally, but during the escort (about the area where you hit the ice) the event assistant disappears.

I’ve noticed this same problem at the world bosses that you guys mentioned, so I can confirm this. I would also like to include Melandru and Grenth Temple meta events in this thread. The meta event UI for both these temples show up in very limited areas and the actual event info rarely show up as well. It’s not game breaking, but it is very annoying to deal with…

I first noticed this happening a little while ago while doing Maw. The armor collection event was active as well, and displayed on the event assistant so I wasn’t really paying attention to it. The thing that caught my eye was something kept showing up on the event list for a second and then disappearing. I finally figured out that it was the Meta event, whenever I jumped it would start to display, then go away as I came back down. It’s as if the area designated for the event is no longer at ground level, or something.

I will experiment with some of the other bosses when I can log in later today.

-Note: all events still give credit, they just don’t show up in the event assistant. They also won’t show on the map, so in the case of SB you can’t tell which other portal events are still active.
