Guild Wars 2

Okay, you have all probably had a bug in personal story where your companions won’t move or the objective won’t trigger.
The answer for this so called “bug” is actually quite simple, it has nothing to do with whether or not your companions die or if you die, all you have to do is make sure you kill the things that need to be killed, when they need to be killed, let objects that need to be destroyed, get destroyed.
So take every thing slow and don’t try to do it fast or it will just bug out on you.

And that my friends is the simple solution.

So good luck on your adventures in Tyria!

The Monkey kitten.

I did make sure things are dead.

I’ve wasted my time twice now to see this bug.

You know what, I’m not going to try again.

I’m going to just kitten off from the personal story. Im not wasting my time again, only to find out at the end that I can’t progress.

It is a bug, it isn’t my fault, it is the faulty and shoddy coding of arenanet.

Yours is not a solution, yours is absolving anet of responsibility.

Well, Lyuben I weren’t trying to take the blame of Arenanet, it might have sounded like that but it wasn’t, ofcourse you shouldn’t be able to get these bugs, but what I’m giving you is a solution to the problem, let me give you and example which I encounteret in the Personal story part called “Forging the Pact”.
I was getting a bug where I couldn’t get the npc to move with me down to the next objective and therefore I couldn’t get further, I searched the web for a solution and couldn’t find any.
But then I stumbelt on a video on youtube where a guy did the same personal story and it didn’t bug, as I was watching it I noticed that he was doing one part of the quest differiently than me.
It was the part with the barricades where he instead of just storming to the objective like me, chose to take it slow and kill the things on the way and by doing this the barricades broke like they where supposed too. So I tried to do the same as he did and by doing so it worked out and I could continue with my personal story again.

It’s the small things like that which cause the bugs.
Of course this should not be making the whole instance bug for you, I am just giving you a way to solve it.
