Guild Wars 2

I, like other people, were under the assumption that the recent nerf of the drop of Black Lion Keys from the personal story was only for level 10 personal story quests. However I have not done that quest for a level 10 (to my memory) for a week and a half when I made a new necromancer on the 9th/10th September, but I have completed a level 40 quest and got a key there (the first quest of the level 40 ones gives you a key). Despite this, I did not receive a key today when I made a new character when I completed the level 10 personal story for him.

This leads me to believe that it isn’t merely the level 10 story quests that have been affected, but it also includes the level 40 personal story quests. Can anyone else confirm this? What about the key at the level 60 personal story?

I am fine with it being once a week, but not if it also includes the level 40 and potentially even the level 60 quests. That is too harsh. By all means make it once a week, but it should be once a week for each teir of quests, not for ALL of them.

Same thing happened to me. I was positive that I had not done a level 10 story key after the patch, though I did get the level 40.

Thursday or Friday I started a new character and did not get the level 10 key.

If this is intended behavior then it really does penalize new players.

Ouch. If that happened to you that may be a bug. You can get two level 40 keys in a week from what I hear.

The level 10 key might be set up to check if you got ANY LS reward key rather than just the level 10 one. Meaning if you got the level 10 key and THEN the level 40 key, you’d get both, but if you got the level 40 key first then it accidentally uses up your level 10 key for the week.

I’m not in a position to actually test it, but that’s my guess,

People have already posted to say they did both the level 10 and level 40 stories in the same week and got a key on both. Sounds like its a bug where getting a key on a higher level story triggers the cooldown for the level 10 one. I suggest you submit it as a bug.

I did level a character from scratch in 4 days and I did both 10 and 40 quest after the patch and I got both keys. Sounds like a bug.

Thanks everyone for your answers. I have put in a bug report about it, and those of you who have had the same issues, I would urge you to do the same so they know it isn’t just a random problem of one player and be dismissed as such.
