Guild Wars 2

Title says it all, really. I went to do a dungeon with my Guardian, which I have completed on my Warrior, but was both annoyed and surprised to find out I needed to do the story mode again.

Having to do story mode is painful enough without having to do it on each of our characters.

So, is there any sort of legitimate reason as to why it’s like this?

I would imagine that it has something to do with the pool of people doing story mode eventually drying up.

They’re different characters, with different life stories, so what would be the “legitimate reason” to make the feats of one influence the story of the other?

The really weird thing in GW2 is why are so many things account-wide. It kind of goes against the fundamental principles of RPGs, especially of RPGs with distinct classes. Getting a certain achievement with one character can be much easier or harder than getting it with another, and it would make a lot more sense to make (most of) them character-based.

That reasoning is made redundant by the fact that you can go and replay the story mode as much as you want.

If people cared about the story, there would be nothing stopping them from going and playing the story mode again.

Also would like this to be once per account.

because this would mean less and less people to do story mode with new players.

also, hi clem

Yeah, I understand the point about running out of people to help with story mode. It’s just annoying not being able to run another one of your characters through a dungeon without doing the boring story mode again.

well technically, as long as someone in the party has completed story mode, you can do it.

Ooh, I didn’t know this.

of course, this has a side effect of, sometimes, the whole party going “has anyone beaten story mode?”, which may either lead you to beating story mode, or going back to LFG mode :P
