Guild Wars 2

To elaborate, the idea here is that with the completion of story mode, it allows the same character to open up the instance in Explorable Mode. However, you are unable to open up the instance personally if you have not done Story Mode.

Obviously you can join your group if they’ve already opened the instance, but I like to have control to the instance sometimes, especially if I know that some people in my group have shaky connections and their d/c can cause the instance resetting.

My question is, if you have one character on your account that has already finished Story mode, should the rest of the characters on your account have to redo story mode so that they are able to open up Explorable?

Food for thought.

I’m honestly surprised this hasn’t been implemented yet.

Sure story modes will die even more, but now everyone and their sister Deborah done them.

You can do Explorable mode without doing Story mode in the first place.

It was changed few weeks ago.

Have fun. ^^

You can’t, unless someone who did Story mode initiated dungeon.

You can’t open up the instance for Explorable Mode if you’ve never done Story Mode. This has always been the case since release. I don’t know where/how you’re opening the instance to Explorable without having finished Story Mode.

the story mode just needs to die, fast.

I know people that never do any story mode and live in dungeons. Do a story mode is not necessary for anyone. and if you want to start every dungeon you do just pug SM it´s really easy.

See but that’s the thing: I don’t want to have to do all of the story modes for every single dungeon again because I have decided to use more than one character for a dungeon. Not to mention, there is no incentive when it comes to down to doing story mode so no one does it.

Why not grant my character access to explorable mode for a dungeon if I’ve gone through the trouble of doing it already on another character?

Granted. This is a minor issue, but certainly it’s something that should at least be given some thought. You can’t tell me you joined a group for explorable mode but found out no one has story done yet. Happens to me on occasion.

I also vote for account wide story mode completion (explorable unlocked) if you have the achievement for it. I did story mode for every dungeon on my warrior, I like alts, I don’t really want to do story on some of them again. Like coe story… :P I love explore modes, it makes sense to me that would be account based and not character based, especially when it’s an achievement.

I am for this change too.
