Guild Wars 2

I was revisiting some of the Living Story instances for achievements, notably the Disturbance in Brisban Wildlands.

Progressed through the instance as usual. Killed bunches of Inquest, got one of the achievements I was after (messed up on two others, but my fault so not bugged), defeated the veteran golem at the end.

Instance goals changed to “Talk to Corporal Jantzen.” With the goal of “Talk to your friends” marked as optional. Considering that I had done the instance before this already, I spoke to Corporal Jantzen and said I was ready to explore beyond the ridge. Instance ends, I go on to Dry Top… and yet my Living Story star is still pointing back to Brisban Wildlands. I moved on to the Fallen Hopes instance for achievements there, and received a message that this was not my current story and progress would not be saved.

It’s possible that this issue is present even when completing the instance the first time around per character, though all of my alts so far have spoken to my allies before Corporal Jantzen. Revisiting instances is fine if I’m just going back for achievements, but I’d be rather annoyed if I was sent back because I didn’t complete something marked as optional.
