The creators of Ashes of Creation have talked about the types of events in the game

The world of Verra is a dynamic and ever-changing landscape full of wonders, adventures, and dangers.
According to the developers, one of the many mechanics to achieve this adaptability is events.Events are one of the main ways players are introduced to the content.
Events focus on creating an interactive world that keeps players alert, changing gameplay in fun and unique ways, creating challenges and shaping the world around them.
Players will encounter events throughout their time on Verra, from early walkthroughs to high-level dungeons and raids.When an event starts, players will be able to accept or reject it, similar to how they accept a quest.
If a player chooses to accept, events can serve as a major source of experience points, items, and resources.There can be many reasons for an event to occur - such as a node level increase, a change in climate or time of year, killing a certain number of NPCs, and more.
You never know when an event might happen, so players need to be careful and stay on their toes! Of course, there will be so-called calendar events in the game, which can be seen as holiday events or other seasonal events.Some of these may be related to the seasons and how they affect nodes in those areas.
More often than not, they will take place server-wide and provide unique content for a specific period of time during the calendar year.Another type of event includes node attacks.
In this event, enemies can damage buildings and thus disable them during a node attack.
Players on the defending side may have their own goal of taking up arms and working together to prevent this.If the node attack is successful, buildings may have to be repaired before they can be used again.During a Monster Coin event, players can activate Monster Coins, allowing them to turn into monsters and wreak havoc.
These events can be triggered in a variety of ways, and in some cases they may even provide cosmetic rewards.Among the other events are Sudden Events, POI (Points of Interest) Events, Story Events and PvP Targets, which you can check out here.According to the developers, the phrase \"every action has a consequence\" is especially true of Verra.
So events will often be one way for players to experience the consequences of their choices.Cardinal transformations, such as changing the weather or perhaps creating new objectives, will encourage players to explore and adapt.Unprepared adventurers should be on their guard, as events can happen at any time of day, in any area and at any moment! Some may be confined to a small area, while others may span the entire server.
