Guild Wars 2

I’m not much into dungeons and I wanted to get some achieves sorted which I’ve put off for a long time. I couldn’t remember which stories/paths I’ve done on each dungeon, but here’s my experiences today:

I’ve gone to the Citadel of Flame dungeon to try and get the last of my requirements for the Citadel of Flame Foe achievement, and as I approach the portal to enter the dungeon, it’s saying “Enter Story Mode”. No Explorable Mode option. I’m thinking ‘ok, it must be story mode I’m missing’. I’ve gone through with a group and have been discovering areas that I haven’t been into yet (as per the yellow text that comes up on the screen when you go through them), even though it’s looking oddly familiar.

I come to the end of the dungeon and Gaheron Baelfire is there to defeat. At this point I know I’ve done all this before. So nothing comes up on my screen after defeating Baelfire (that I’ve completed Citadel of Flame achieve), I claim the loot and leave the dungeon. I’m back at the portal to enter the dungeon and it’s STILL saying “Enter Story Mode”, not “Replay Story Mode” like what usually happens when you’ve completed story.

I know I’ve done all 3 other paths before, although there’s no way of knowing that, either in the options at the portal or in your achieves. So why can’t I finish Citadel of Flame?

I’ve sent in a ticket to Anet to have a look at this, if they can do anything at all.

PS: sorry if this is a known issue or has been mentioned before, but I don’t like trawling through pages of threads when the Search hasn’t worked for over a year.

I think I’ve never heard of such an issue related to CoF before but then again I’m pretty new myself. You might want to submit a ticket to helpdesk and see if they can help you out with any information on what’s going on.

Did you wait a bit before leaving? The story will unlock when you get the bonus chest ( like the 20 tokens one in explorable), so if you left immediately, story mode won’t be completed. Did you get that level 65 rare chest piece?

Yes I waited before leaving (a good 30secs) and still nothing. I did get the loot from what I recall, but nothing in the achievements that usually flashes up on the right side of the screen.

What puzzles me most is that it’s still saying I haven’t done story mode yet.

I’ve submitted a ticket already, outlining pretty much the exact details of what I’ve put in the OP. Thanks for the replies though.

That’s weird. I’m pretty sure I did hotw story years ago on my engi and I don’t have it either on this char. Apart from what I listed above I’ve no idea of what it could be. I safely assume you killed all the bosses and didn’t skip to endboss?

Trudged through the whole lot of them.

I had this problem too when I tried to unlock CoF on an alt. completed the dungeon, got the chest, but no notification for the PvP reward track, and I can’t open the dungeon with that toon. It happened about a month ago, so I can’t remember any useful details, sorry.
