Guild Wars 2

Apparently you’re supposed to get it when you finish that last instance in the tower, I however…. did not receive anything. I’m going back in to try again, and we’ll see what happens then

OOOH I see.

exit the collapsing tower doesn’t mean “exit the instance”, it means jump into the mesmer portal that makes no sense based on how the skill works, and THEN you get rewards.

This is EXACTLY the type of confusion I don’t like from these story things. I shouldn’t have to constantly be second guessing every action except combat.

I didn’t jump through any mesmer portals, just waited out the 30s countdown timer to be automatically taken to main Kessex.

Nothing to guess. Tower is exploding. No way out. NPCs running somewhere. Logic dictates that you follow them(if there is no other way). Saw portal and immediately used that. Nothing guessing. No big thinking. Was totally clear.

Auto-exiting story with the escape button at bottom right of screen or by some other means only is possible after you got the rewards(usually). Because then it is finished. If not it still is not finished and some other stuff needs to be done(here: using the portal).

The instance wasn’t over, why wouldn’t you follow them?

It’s pretty standard as well that NPCs have skills the players don’t have. So she probably started the portal outside a long time ago and is just now making the second half. No, WE can’t do that – but special characters can often do extraordinary things. I mean, she also broke the spell hiding the tower – something WE would not have been able to do.

I can understand maybe if English isn’t someone’s native language but like… Things shaking, stuff bad, follow trusted companions so you don’t become rubble – to da. I think 90% of players can “get” that – this is an “RPG” after all, why totally ignore those in your ad hoc party?
