I was going through the personal story with a friend, both sylvari, both choosing the same paths and accepting the hosts decisions. When we got to the section where you chose between Vigil, Priory, and the Order of Whispers, my friend ended up hosting the instance and he chose Order. I accepted this as I have been looking forward to being in the Order since it was announced as a thing way back when.

As we come up on the next story mission, it doesn’t pull up the prompt for me to join my friends instance. I found it odd since it worked up to that point as long as we had the same story, so I brushed it off an entered the instance on my own. To my surprise, I somehow ended up in the Vigil storyline instead of the Order, whereas my friend was in the Order storyline.

I have no idea how this ended up coming about. I assume that there was some communication error with the party system (this was prelaunch headstart) and it selected the Vigil by some default switch or something. I REALLY hope there is some way to change my characters storyline without having to reroll or rollback. I stopped doing the story entirely at that point and continued to level my character without it, and at the moment am fringing on level 70. After planning out all of my characters (main being order, alts being vigil and priory) with their specific intentions, it would be really disappointing to have to carry it out this way.

I put in a bug report and support ticket but haven’t heard back from either of these. Hopefully I can receive a response here. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
