I read about how the "events" are tied to the progression of the map. So if someone new joins your game and you're trying to show them around and get them used to it, they have to deal with the same higher level Events as you while still trying to figure out how to even eat.

It should be in the options when you start the game to disable the random Events like it is in other games. Like the Conan Exiles "Purge" system that makes random enemies attack your base can be turned off completely or have it's difficulty altered.

I don't know the viability for you and your friend, but one method some do is seed map hop. Make a map for resource gathering where no boss is ever killed. This way only the first event ever spawns. Then make separate maps for the boss fights or even one map per boss

I generally don't mind them, though I play on my own mostly. The only exception is the troll one. I DETEST the troll one. Because they keep knocking down my boar pen and killing all my boars. Even with cheats it's a ♥♥♥♥♥ to get back the seven two-star boars I keep in there. Not to mention the cross-continent on-foot trip I made for three turnip seeds fortuitously near the border of a swamp that the trolls seem to always target as well. And I can't use cheats to kill the trolls because that will also kill my boars! It's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pain in my rectum.

Most events are easily nullified with either high earthen walls around a base or a decently deep trench or both. I tend to do both with the walls around the base and a trench but then at the entrance, I put a tall column of earth so that you have to just slightly up to get it(keeping out the door width mobs) and trolls of course cant get in either. With a trench, trolls will just stand there til the timer of the event runs out. You can just then stand on the higher ground and pick them off with a bow or wait it out.
