Since it can’t be reverted I’m just posting so that devs are aware that there is something wrong with the choice in story step “A Light in the Darkness” and you can end up with wrong story step for your greatest fear.
I was playing solo whole personal story, never making a party for it and as my choice i went with “Make another suffer” which starts with “Striking Off the Chains” story step, but when the actual story started i got “Shell Shock” story step.
Now, since i didn’t explore this story step too much I can go along with it, but i will state that it is freaking annoying!, and its even more annoying knowing that nothing can be done about this once you PS got messed up.

Yeah, I had the same thing happen to me (picked Apatia storyline) except I decided to play through to see what happened.

Basically the first 3 missions are switched over to the Saboteur storyline and its like you got switched over to another fear. But then you get to Fort Trinity and Trahearne’s saying “soz bout Apatia, but thanks for that sweet orb you got”, as if you had played through the storyline you selected originally.

Furthermore, at the end of Fort Trinity, it seems to stick with the Saboteur story, as Trahearne says “lets go confront Syska”, but then you get reverted back to the Apatia story, where you have to go find her in the Krait tower.

So yeah, this part is screwed up. If there is a way to change my story journal to say I helped Apatia without reverting the rest of the PS (finished Zhaitan), I would appreciate it a lot

Yep, exactly the same problem, and the question now is which of the steps is the one that count for my personal story, did i went and killed Syskas squad and than confronted her or did i go to recover the orb and then go to save Apatia? Story log is now messed up as it points that i kinda did both of them.

I had a similar problem – playing solo, never got in a party at any time. I was doing the Syska/“dishonored by allies” fear path and then after “The Battle of Fort Trinity” I got “Liberating Apatia” instead of “Delivering Justice”.

I thought it was odd that I was supposed to know who Apatia was when I was trying to rescue her, but I didn’t really realise anything was wrong until I got to “Temple of the Forgotten Gods” and Trahearne started saying he knew how torn up I was about what happened to her and how I felt I let her down… Then I realised the Syska story hadn’t been wrapped up (it’d been a couple of days since I’d played) so I started reading through the quests on the Wiki to see what went wrong. A Google Search led me here.

I started playing GW2 in Beta but left after a year or so, never having finished my Personal Story (too much WvW, lol). I came back for the expansion and wanted to finish the Personal Story and do Living Story – Season 2 before moving on to Heart of Thorns, but now I’m so disappointed that my personal story is borked that I really don’t feel like playing any more for fear of being disappointed again.

Edit #1: just checked my story log and it shows the story parts as outlined above – the Syska storyline up until I get “Liberating Apatia”

Edit #2: It looks like people have had this same issue dating back to September 2012… http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/58291-apatia-level-70-spoilers/
