^definitely agree with that, although you should be able to play at least through the level 50 personal story stuff without a problem. Going to start watching now, but I think the idea is a very cool one.
R.I.P., Old Man of Auld Red Wharf. Gone but never forgotten.
The fix is confirmed, and it’ll apply to anyone who hasn’t completed A Light In The Darkness (in the middle of the level 60 chapter), but we don’t have a date yet. That said, it’s ArenaNet policy not to talk about something until it’s almost ready for release, so I’m optimistic that it’ll come soon enough to not impact your schedule too badly.

I was kind of hoping it’d be in this upcoming update – along with the trait changes Colin mentioned a bit back.
Shame.
BTW, Trahearne has the aggro line “die by my blade!” before he gets Caladbolg (he said it in my sylvari C2 storyline the other day). Seems kind of weird when he’s wielding a staff.
Dear ANet writers,
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.
wait for the PS fix or you will miss a big part of the story.
This is good advice. While I don’t have a firm release date to share just yet, I do recommend that you wait until the Personal Story is restored (with minor improvements) before playing into chapter 6.
I’ll be making a post in the next couple of weeks that will give more details on what changes the update will include.
Edit: Also, thanks for playing. Looking forward to seeing the videos. Are you playing on NA or EU servers?
Do I understand this right: Do you refer to the story part depending on your “greatest fear”? Will these story missions (which are depending on the answer during “A Light in the Darkness” and originally taken a big portion in the part 7 of the personal story and are currently not accessable) be playable again in the near future?
Yes. We’re restoring the My Greatest Fear story steps, restoring chapter 8 to its original order, and improving a few things along the way. I’ll be making an official forum post with more details soon.
i don’t suppose that since the PC VAs are back recording, we could get a polish pass on some… err… lesser performances? *cough*nornfemale*cough* and fix the “hold the line” shout too, since the whole problem with it was one of the VAs read it as “hold this line”.

That won’t be part of this particular update. That stated, I want to review and update PC chatter for the expansion if there’s time. Some of those lines weren’t written particularly well, or they trigger too frequently, or the performance was off so I’d like to fix them.
oh i’d never expect it to come before HoT, if at all. it’s just that some PCs, primarily the female norn PC, have… faulty deliveries (not only on their dialogue, but their random combat/exploration blabbering) that could use a second take. in fact, it’s the main reason i’ve stayed away from the female norn for so long, despite loving the norn culture, armor, and jora (why i don’t go for male norn? i tried, but they’re just too bulky for me :P).
i’m just glad to know it’s something you’re looking into, even if it might never get past wishful thinking.

That’s one of the lines we’ve rewritten.
Oh, I know.
I’m just saying it’s weird that it triggers when he isn’t using a blade. And that feels a bit off.
Would it be possible to use the old aggro/death/deaggro lines for before A Light in the Darkness, and the new ones (which feel more confident-filled) after? I think it’d match his personality evolution better, though few would notice the change I’m sure. Still, to those who do catch it – just like for those who catch all the other small awesome things (like Caudecus’ face being made out of the floating stones in his garden at the right angle) – would find it awesome for the attention to detail.
Dear ANet writers,

I agree, and turning off the option for the personal story in the content guide does nothing to turn off the Giant Green star in the upper right hand corner. The only thing to date that gets rid of it is finishing the personal story, which of course is gated behind Arah Story mode. Please, consider having an option to disable this star, especially if you’ve completed the story on at least one of your other characters.
The content guide just disables the arrows that direct you how to get to the personal story location, doesn’t help with screen clutter.
You don’t win friends with Salad.
