Guild Wars 2

My Sylvari Ranger’s personal story ’Called to Service" moved up a step without me advancing it. As you can see in the attached screenshot, this character has never even been to The House of Caithe point of interest yet it showed that I met with her already in the first story step. I created this character over 2 years ago and never really used it much besides killing a bunch of fireflies and trolls for Maguuma Killer just outside the Grove, leveling cooking to 400, and spending a few skill point scrolls until now, when I was going to start her story and noticed this bug.

Don’t you meet Caithe in your home instance for that, not her house? Odds are you did the story step without remembering.

I don’t believe I have ever entered the home instance on this character. I’ve ran past the location a few times where that prompt pops up asking if you want to enter, but never actually opened up the instance. I haven’t actually logged in on this character in I think 2 months, and it was just to quickly pick up some gold waiting for me at the trade post (my main character was in a far map and didn’t want to WP all the way back), and I remember last time it saying I had to meet Caithe in the Grove to “discuss my dream” or something at the top right of the screen. Then today when I wanted to actually start her PS it had moved up a step.

Bumping this thread instead of making another with an update as this happened AGAIN with another of my low-level alts that was made before the NPE. This time it was my Asura Mesmer who had just hit level 10 and received 2 mails related to the personal story right when she leveled. I viewed the Story Journal and saw that a step was completely skipped (no I did not do it as the personal story was shuttered to this character since it was never level 10 until just a few minutes ago). I never completed the skipped step before the NPE patch either.

Another screenshot attachment proving the mails were sent at the same time. It won’t let me attach more than one screenshot per post for some reason.
