Guild Wars 2

I hit 80 and like most people jumped at the opportunity to do the dungeon. Had a fun albeit difficult time, took me an hour plus and finally killed Zhai guy.

BUT my personal story was not done

And now it is telling me i have to kill him again

So all that time was completely wasted? I did not even get loot

Is this working as intended?

Yeah, it only works when you have “Kill Zhaitan” active in your personal story.

Why is there no warning of this if you enter the story mode before you have that personal story quest active?

They won’t answer that.

But I agree with you that there should be some kind of warning, or have Arah locked until you either finish Source of Orr or do all the previous dungeons before that. It’s so simple, and really strange for a game so heavily focused on immersion to have such immersion-breaking mechanics.

Yeah, I know, I don’t mind if they don’t answer me, I just hope they do as you suggest.

Do you read the last chapter of a book and nothing else but the last chapter? It’s sort of like that.

However, I agree that it kind of stinks. Only because doing story mode in dungeons more than once gives you absolutely nothing.

I was on the second to last story mission when a pug opportunity to do the dungeon came up. There was no indication that doing it at that point would not give credit for the personal story. Had I known, I would not have wasted 4 hours doing something that was designed to be done once and I now have to do again. If I’m not supposed to read the last chapter of the book whenever I want (and all the other dungeons are like that) then why does the book let me do it only to pretend that I didn’t afterwards? All I want is for them to warn people somehow that this dungeon has a different relationship to the personal story than all the others – either by making the story mode unavailable to people at the wrong stage of the personal story or at least putting some warning in the text somewhere.

As as aside, since that run I have never seen another group for Arah story at all, including within my guild. Nobody wants to do story mode dungeons at all now, and its only month 3 of the game.
