Guild Wars 2

So I have done the final story twice now. Once over a year ago with some guildies who were at that part of the story but I wasnt, I just wanted to see what it was like and if the claims of it being a super lame ending were correct (SPOILER: THEY WERE).
I just started playing again after about 5-6 months away and figure I’ll go ahead and finish it, I’ve been sitting on the “Victory or Death” story for way to long so why not finish it, right? Get some achievement points, close that part of the story and never think about it again. Guild I was in is dead, super dead, so I have to wait and join with rando’s from the LFG system. Finally get a group, start second run, get onto that last airship and happen to look top right and what do I see? Not the green “Victory or Death” stuff because I had forgot to switch my stupid living story back! “Oh nos” I say and try to change it but cant! Cant change while in an instance. kitten, super annoyed. Finish dungeon and cross fingers. Maybe Anet accounted for this kind of stuff and will actually let it count when i switch my story back to the main one. Click the “continue this story” button. Nothing, audible grown is let out followed by slight sobbing. Gotta run it again for the third time.

And yes I realize this is mostly my fault.

At least you have the opportunity to do the zhaitan fight again, it’s the best endboss i’ve ever seen.. Oh wait.

Yeah, it sucks, I did story 9 times and it’s still boring. I never got trolled by the new ls thing though, I feel your pain.

and here I thought it was OK for me to rage for having to wait 3 minutes to attempt the episode 3 achievements at the summit.

but your situation…yeah i’d do a bit more than rage.

Let me tell you my story, I beat the story mode with a friend, when i am watching the ending movie where me and destiny’s edge are being welcomed at trinity fort… my friend skipped the movie and i was NEVER able to watch that hero moment with my main character EVER…. because we are not allowed to replay PS.

I rather play 10 times arah story rather than missing out that movie….

It is my biggest regret in GW2.

picture, thousand words, …

Haha. That happened to me, but not the final story instance/dungeon. Just last week I was doing one of the last six or so steps of the PS with a Guildie, and after I accepted (or noticed it didn’t ask me to accept), I noticed nothing changed.

Oh! Silly me! I had the UI set to Living Story. Oh, well, it wasn’t as bad as what happened to you. Still, I am more apt to pay attention to what’s up in the HUD now.
Lol.

I didnt know that the new living story could block your progress in the personal story like that. Thats bullkitten.
