I just completed Blast from the Past (level 80) personal story line on my level 80 Elementalist. As soon as I completed the second stage where you have to find Arda my personal story went back to level 70.

Instead of progressing to Victory or Death, I now have to do it all over again. I hate to repeat myself as its unnecessary redundant.

Luckily I didn’t lose the dialog that was said during the mission. I have attached a screen shot which shows this. If you look at the second pic it will also show you that I have received the rewards from completing it as well. Also note on the top left hand corner where it now tell me to do my 70 quest

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Blast_from_the_Past can be refereed to compare the dialog. Look towards the end as this is a 2 part quest.

Some story steps were moved around between Chapter 7 and 8. You won’t have to repeat any steps, you’re just over-levelled for the steps that are now in Chapter 7. One you finish the Chapter 7 storyline, you’ll be back in Chapter 8 where you left off.

So in other words I have to re due the chapter 7 story quest again and then I can complete it once I hit 80? This is back tracking my progress as the missions that are to come were painful to complete. They are more of a chore then enjoyable content.

Is there anyway I can progress through without loosing my progress. Also is this going to happen with all my other characters? Do I have to repeat certain chapters since they may not be in the game anymore.

Lastly Victory or Death was one of the best personal story mission. It was an epic fight that was really entertaining. It was one of the best out their

“Blast from the Past” progresses to “Victory or Death” if you’ve already done “Against the Corruption.” If you haven’t you’ll need to do that story arc, then it will finish out with “Victory or Death.” It sounds like the Wiki is only accounting for the current structure (where “Against the Corruption” is in Chapter 7) and doesn’t account for cases like yours, where you were on a step that got moved around. I don’t understand what steps you think you have to repeat.

You mean, that people that did the orr invasion parts and were on the last step of orr cleansing when patch hit won’t need to redo the assault steps, even though they are now in chapter 8?

Hello I am a level 80 Ranger at the time of this bug. I just did all the personal story quests at levels 70 , which is as follows in chronological order; ‘Forging the Pact’, ‘Battle for Fort Trinity’, ‘Against the Corruption’, ’Romke’s Final Voyage’ and ‘The Source of Orr’. Proceeding the completion of ‘The Source of Orr’ I went on to do the level 80 Personal Story, which is as follows in chronological order; ‘Temple of the Forgotten God’, ‘Close the Eye’, ‘What the Eye Beholds’, ‘Starving the Beast’, ‘A Grisly Shipment’, ‘Further Into Orr’, ‘Stealing Light’, ‘Conscript of the Dead Ships’, ‘Ships of the Line’. Upon completing these quests my next objective in my Personal Story was to go to ‘Against the Corruption’ which, if you recall, is a level 70 Personal Story mission. I then had to complete the rest of said Chapter, chapter 7 in my story, to get ‘Victory or Death’ the proper level 80 Personal Story mission. I did not go from – " ‘Blast from the Past’ progresses to ‘Victory or Death’ if you’ve already done ‘Against the Corruption’. ” As you stated Content Designer, Jeffery Vaughn. Please test this out before you condemn the players insight, you do have to repeat steps. The following have to be repeated: ‘Against the Corruption’, ’Romke’s Final Voyage’ (one of two choices), ‘The Source of Orr’. Then and only then was I able to continue to Victory or Death. The mission ‘Blast from the Past’ does not exist in ‘My Story’ Chapter 8.
Much Love
Daahryn

It sounds like the Wiki is only accounting for the current structure (where “Against the Corruption” is in Chapter 7) and doesn’t account for cases like yours, where you were on a step that got moved around.

Well, wiki is based on what players experience, see and find out about things. In this case they would never imagine there could be a case like that. While no one would go through it they wouldn’t know what happens in these cases, they don’t know what happens behind the scenes like you do. They wouldn’t know what happens to those who were in steps which got moved until someone goes through them.

Also, could someone please tell me wth were they changed? I still can’t get the reason for such useless and confused changes. And please, I hope the “fixes coming” won’t be merely “workarounds” and emendations for broken dialogs in an attempt to make them making some sense. My Personal Story is in a hold until something is defined.
