Guild Wars 2

A friend and I had been playing personal story missions together, doing the common missions and then assisting each other with our unique choices.
We got to the point where we chose an order, and I chose the priory and he chose the order of whispers. We’re both really into the lore of our characters and these were important personal choices.

We both then had the common mission of “setting the stage” and so we went to it together, but when we left, I got aligned to Order of Whispers. I’d delete and recreate my character but he’s already level 80 and fully geared. This is really disappointing. I already chose the Priory but somehow the track got switched and now I’m stuck in this story path. Can this be fixed?

You accepted progress at the end of the instance for his story so that’s why it did that. Unfortunately you won’t be able to fix it.

But I already chose a separate path is the thing. It’s not like I accepted his progress when he chose to join Order of Whispers.
I joined the Priory, he joined the Order, and we both went on to the next common cutscene, and then my story merged with his.

These screenshots show the new inconsistincies

You will follow his story until the end of the present story arc, at which time you will be placed back on your story arc, if you do not accept someone else’s progress.

You are still part of the Order you chose (you can verify this by speaking to NPCs that offer Order-centric items). The game places you on the same arc so that you can continue to play together.

Not a bug, but working as intended.

Good luck.

Trahearne is the real hero, so player choices are irrelevant!

Amazing insight, Guzzi.

Update: I went to my next story mission and the cutscene was garbled. There was no sound for a majority of the scene, and when audio did cut in, it had lines that didn’t belong to that cutscene.
