Personal Story Waypoints
Open the world map and locate the green star shaped since it looks you are following the green circul shape. The green circul is showing you the closest way to travel if you dont have an open waypoint for any story.
There should be two markers on the world map – one at the exit of your current zone (which is often best ignored as it can take you via some very odd routes) and one on the world map at the actual location of the story step. I’m still seeing both, just that the latter is less obvious as it doesn’t show up on the mini-map until you’re in the right map.
I think you can ignore the first one “circul shape” mark as you said. Did you activated the story from the Hero panel or still doing your personal main story?
Brainfart. Looks like my problem was my lack of using my eyes, I thought they’d taken it away.
