Hello, fellow tyrians.

I was having a blast while playing gw2 in the company of a friend of mine that he’s recently recovered his interest in the game. The thing is he doesn’t remember anything about the first 20 levels of his personal story because he dropped the game a while ago. And now he wants to play it again.

We used to play gw1 back in the day and we loved the fact that you could replay the most important parts of the story via replaying the missions. And we were looking for a feature like that in this new game… to no avail.

This goes for the devs: The feature that we were looking for was an ability to replay a specific personal story step. The reasonable restrictions would be the following:

1. You should only get karma and experience for the replayed mission (like accompanying a friend in his personal story)
2. The choices you made the first time you did the personal story are mandatory so:
a) Either the choices you take while replaying the mission have no effect.
b) Or the choices you made the first time you played the mission are the only choices available in the dialog boxes of the replayed version of it, being the other choices disabled.

What do you say?
Wouldn’t it be cool?
If you agree, give me a +1

PS. I was looking for a post addressing this, but I didn’t find any.

The glory of my ancestors shall be restored.

I want to relearn who my character is. Everything was too new and mystical at the beginning of the game when I started that I didn’t focus to much on what was going on. So yes, +1 to this!

And you know what would be even more awesome?
If you had a crew member/friend/war-band mate at your home instance that had the track of your story like the historian did in the first nightfall mission.
This would be only an immersive feature. It’d be perfectly ok if you could play activate the mission you would want to go to in the personal story tab and the green star appeared in the world map like when you did that step of the personal story the first time.

I would love to go back and replay missions, even for no reward at all.

This is an very reasonable option too.

I think they could ‘easily’ enable this using the storybook in your hero panel, by simply adding the feature “Replay Story” to each of the chapters. I personally wouldn’t replay them, the story in GW2 kind of disappointed me in comparison to the missions that made up the storyline in GW1. But I’m sure plenty of other people would like the feature

You pretty much nailed it. Many of us want this feature. I too loved replaying GW1 story.

For Great Justice!

this needs to happen and I believe it is not as hard as we’d think. We already have the full tracks of our personal stories in the Hero panel. All our choices are already recorded in it

I would also love this idea. But in a choose which one you want to do kind of thing. So those who don’t want to do a particular mission again for whatever reason can skip it.
