Guild Wars 2

I used to see a notification when a Dynamic Event (DE) was happening on the current map I am in but I no longer see this. I don’t mean when you walk in the vicinity of a DE but one that is not close but is in the same map.
I have looked in options but do not see an option to turn this on or off.

Can anyone advise?

It’s a feature of the content guide, which points to the closest objective near you. When you’ve 100%‘d a map, the only remaining objectives are events, so that’s what’s shown (or the personal story, unless disabled).

The option for this can be found under the general options, but there’s no way to only show events. It’s basically a perk for 100%’ing the map.

Where’s the option?

Near the top of the general option (first tab). It’s called the content guide.
