I am playing with my friend, and i am wondering if there is a way to enter the personal story with my friend? We purposely chose the same choices in the beginning to get the same story, but we can’t play together. We did this once back in Beta, where i entered personal story and my friend was automatically invited, but this time we weren’t. Can anyone help us?
Thanks in advance

We, Team Reem [REEM] on Ruins of Surmia, want you! /w me in-game!
If you’re in the same map, when one player enters a story instance it should pop up a prompt for the other player asking if they want to join. If you’re both on the same story step, at the end you can choose whether to advance your own story and accept any decisions that have been made.
We are still seeing this problem sporadically. We’ve been seeing it on the sylvari story line quests, mostly the ones that start in Caledon Forest. The first couple steps worked and then after that they haven’t. My husband’s toon is a sylvari and mine is an asura. He’s been able to get into every one of my asura quests but the reverse isn’t true.
I can’t think of the names of the quests, but a couple were the ones when you meet Carys and then the next step where you go rescue Tegwyn.
I will add that from our first toons to our second, the number of times we’ve been able to do the quest together and advance the story line has significantly improved.
We’re having this problem as well, it started last night on Munition Acquisition and no matter what we tried we couldn’t get it to even offer the prompt for other members to join.
It’s continuing today with Breaking the Bone Ship. No matter who enters first, who’s in the party, if we log out, the prompt isn’t offered.
Edit: Wanted to add we’ve never had this issue before all the way through to these quests yesterday.
I had this issue for one story quest on Monday night with my friend doing the story quest in (I believe) Timberline falls where you have to rescue the 2 research teams with Trahearne, I think it’s in the mid 60’s. Then last night I couldn’t do any of my fiancee’s story quests either, no prompt to join her. We were in the same map, neither in overflow, in a party – we were literally standing beside each other and she just disappeared into her story quest without prompting me. It was the same as when the game launched and you couldn’t do instances together for a while. Is it a load issue?
Last night I had the same problem. My wife asked me for help with her Asuran story mission Salt in the Wound. We were both on the same map standing next to each other, not an overflow, in a party, and it wouldn’t give me the dialog box to join her when she entered the mission.
The only possible additional clue I can offer is prior to this we were having issues with the map not accurately showing where we were in relation to each other until we were within 50-100 feet. (For example, her character portrait was black and her location dot on the map was in the center, despite her being in the northwest corner of the map. Once she got close to me, the portrait and map dot updated.)
Same issue with me. I can join my friend on order of Whispers personal Story elements, but he can not join me for most of my Vigil story. Getting very irritating. We are in the same map, standing next to each other. Dots show us in the proper places, no blacked out portrait.
Relogging, dropping party, etc… haven’t fixed it. We are on the equivalent story elements for our respective factions. I can always do his, he can not do mine, if they are direct equivalents. i.e. key story line events, like defending the beach at Lion’s Arch or now Under Siege.
I was able to help him defend the Order of Whispers HQ, he can not help me with the Vigil HQ.
Just got the same issue for the first story at Fort Trinity – Order of Whispers. I have finished my story but my friend has not. We were side by side, same map and she went into the story 3 times. All 3 times I never got a prompt to enter the story.
We had done several stories over the past few weeks without any problem. This is the first time we have had an issue.
In order for someone to accompany you during a personal story instance, do you have to form a party first and then enter your instance as “party leader”? Not sure how all this works. I’m at the Arah Dungeon step in my personal story and I would like to have some people with me during that one especially!
Also, what is the limit on the number of people that can accompany you?
Same problem, me and my friend are on the map. But he will not appear on my radar/map until we are next to each other. When he enters his personal history quest I am not asked to join him in the game.
so, our party wanted to join together in a PS; we are 45 & wanting to do our lev 45 personal story. I could not enter hers or she mine… we have same one (PS); in Captain’s Cut. “Convincing the Faithful”
