World Event starting soon in X, no icon?

[500KG]

So apparently there was a world event in the Dry Steppes about 30 mins ago.
I looked online for where it was supposed to be and I was there, but I didn't see anything.

I'm sure there used to be an icon on the map, but now there isn't so I don't know where to go. I have the area explored as I did another world event earlier today in the same location.

Was it a Legion event? Sometimes you can't see them if it's happening in a Stronghold location where you haven't cleared the Stronghold yet. In Dry Steppes it's probably Temple of Rot since the other two strongholds are mini-towns with waypoints. If you have all Strongholds unlocked then it might just be a bug.

That's the weird thing, I can see all of the legion events no problem.
I just can't seem to see world events.

It's only Legion and World Boss spawns that you should be seeing in this way. The only other thing that'll ping your map is when you're in Helltides and you're in the vicinity of a Blood Maiden summoning, it'll ping your mini-map that it's happening because you have time to ride to it on your mount and contribute/get the drops.

If you mean you got the "World boss spawning soon in Dry Steppes" coming up on your screen, probably after you just teleported into a town, that message is "buggy" as it can occur when the boss is already gone, had it several times that when I actually DID the boss and teleported back, I suddenly got the message.

So what you do is, check the map, if there is a Worldboss spawning within 60minutes, there will be a timer on the upper left side of the map, and, as you thought, there will be a Symbol on the map for the boss spawn.

There is actually other map pings, whenever there is a rare spawn in your area for example, but yes, stuff like Blood Maiden, or in S3, the Herald of Malphas, do ping your map when someone starts them, and you are in the region.

This sh*t is honestly ridiculous. This feature has been bugged since they implemented it, and it is well over multiple months later now and NOTHING has been done to address it.

No matter what you’re doing, where you’re at or what time it is, you will CONSTANTLY get a warning notification that a World Boss/Event is going to happen soon in a particular area. Alas, you go to look and there’s NOTHING there.

If fact, if you look up the most recent World Boss when this occurs, you will see that it was already killed long ago and the game is STILL warning you the fight is going to begin… 🤦‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

Blizzard: GET YOUR SH*T TOGETHER ALREADY 🤬 P.S. THE COST OF YOUR COSMETICS IS OUTRAGEOUS. You legit would sell 5X the amount of cosmetics if you simply halved the price. You guys SERIOUSLY suck at your jobs and are DISGUSTINGLY GREEDY 🤮

They don't care about the game, they just want your money. Look at the side-quest system to see what they're really like. To fix the above issue, teleport anywhere new, refreshes the map.
