Guild Wars 2

Me and friend have been doing the Personal Story together. We got up to A Light in the Darkness, and ended up completing it twice so we could choose different fears.

Eventually we both did Forging the Pact (his version of it), and because it’s a rather long and annoying quest, I chose to hand it in along with him, instead of completing my own version of it. Unfortunately, because of this, I’ve been given the quest ‘Tower Down’, which is from his choice of fear (someone dying because of me, or something), instead of the one I chose (my comrades looking down on me, the mesmer one).

I’m just wondering if there’s anything that can be done, and alerting ANet to fix this so it doesn’t ruin anyone else’s progression. As it stands there’s already quite a few things putting people off doing Personal Story quests together with friends.

It is truly appalling that such a game-breaking bug STILL ISN’T FIXED after all this time.

As much as I like the game and am in no danger of leaving it, I have to agree that the personal story bugs are devastating when they happen to a character.

Missing part of the story, having your choices changed right out from under you, and having no way at all to fix it is damaging two of the things I hold most important in the game. Being able to play with others, and being able to experience the personal story (with all your choices) beginning to end.

Because of bugs like this, I have been afraid to do the Story any way other than solo. It should not have to be like that.

I know there are currently no tools to fix things for someone affected by this bug, but is it something we can hope for soon? Either that, or the bugs need to be fixed so we can play without worrying that characters and stories we spend so much time on won’t be taken from us in a split second by a glitch.

Thank you.

Thank you Jeffrey for the reply, I’m glad it’s a known bug but rather upset that such a damaging bug that I’m guessing has been in-game since launch hasn’t been fixed, and hasn’t been broadcast to the playerbase so they can avoid it. On-top of all that there’s no way to repair the damage? Sorry but that’s very unprofessional.
