So i bought my friend HoT so we can play together. But we were on the exact same story step and finished it. And only i got credit. He did not. And we were both on the same step. So you cant progress in HoT together? We have to do every story step separate or god forbid twice?

It should have prompted your friend to accept your progress as his own. If he missed the prompt or left the instance or something prematurely, that could be a reason.

Sometimes in a story instance, you have to talk to an NPC to progress that part of the story chain, I myself have done this before, where I missed talking to an NPC and a friend did not, and when completed they got the reward and I did not,

Or when the reward popped up and asked them did they want to accept it to progress, they accidently hit no, maybe thinking it would ruin your rewards or whatever.

Do be aware that the very first chapter of the HoT story must be completed as instance owner. After that, one can accept another’s progress.

I’ve completed the first story with other people and accepted credit for it.

The Prologue can’t be repeated, and must be completed as an instance owner for credit. That’s what I meant by ‘very first chapter’.

Here’s the Dev statement:

….EACH party member must complete the story step individually in order to receive credit toward unlocking the second chapter “Torn from the Sky”….

Thus, if the OP and/or friend(s) are having trouble with this step of the story, this may be the cause.

I have a lot of characters. I’ve done the prologue with guildies on just about all of them and received credit for doing it.
