Guild Wars 2

One of my characters, an engineer, is missing some event objective tags during the clockwork invasions, namely the aethers’ and molten red circles (icons in the middle/overhead, not the whole map rings). The crossed swords for minions display just fine, but I have no indication if an event is a pirate or an alliance one and if the kitten captains weren’t so big, I’d have no chance to find them in the crowd.
I’ve already asked this question in a dozen or so overflows, but so far the only answer I got was to file an ingame bug report. First I wanted to ask for help here, maybe I missed some option that turns the kitten things on… However, my elementalist sees them just fine, so it just might be a kitten glitch…

Sorry, but bump, this thing is really bugging me.

To be precise, I’m missing these icons:
