Guild Wars 2

As of this new patch the top right of my screen has where my story mission once sat now has (in my opinion) a very pointless arrow marker, saying things like ’There’s a telescope over here, go to it!" “See that marked event? complete it!” I think it’s pretty silly, that’s not the issue though.

In my options I can (thankfully) turn that off, but none of the options put my story mission back up, the story mission markers aren’t even showing up on my world map.

Just before completing this post I went to the story tab in the hero panel. I see in orange text “This episode will become playable at level 30” – whaaaat

Firstly I don’t even think I was up to a level 30 mission, maybe 26 or 28, I could be wrong, my character is level 20 and I know the last mission I completed was 24.

Even if so, are we now locked out of missions until we are the exact level for them?
If that’s the case that is some severe nonsense. Someone please come along and tell me I am missing something.

Cheers, thanks in advance

You get your story in bulk now. In your case since you got up to level 24 mission before the patch you will resume your story there when you reach level 30.

Thanks for the quick responses as always, but this brings another question.
Why? Was there a reason or need for this change?

Also on my 74 elementalist the current story mission doesn’t even show up in the log, not there at all, like I don’t have any at all.
I’m assuming that this is because I must of been at the very start of a set, so they just wont show until you’re at the correct level to do the first one of a set…or something like that.
