Guild Wars 2

I decided to finally do my personal story on my already level 80 Norn and this is the second story bug I’ve come across.

The last item logged in my personal story log is part 7: Forming the Pact / Striking Off the Chains. Since them I have continued through the personal story and have done the rest of part 7, doing: Wet Work, Intercepting the Orb, The Battle of Fort Trinity, Liberating Apatia. I then started part 8 and have done Temple of the Forgotten God, Through the Looking Glass, What the Eye Beholds, and have just finished Starving the Beast. However, as stated above, my personal story log only reads to Part 7: Forming the Pact / Striking Off the Chains.

Hi, same problem for me. Personal story log is stuck at Part 7: Forming the pact and can’t be continued. Another of my characters is in Part 8 of the personal storyline from where i can easily switch to Living World Season 2 and back again.

@Wolfbane: How did you continue the storyline without the story log?

I have this issue on a couple of my characters as well. I stopped the personal story to do some of the LS2. I cannot quit the LS2 episodes, and go back to my personal story. The story log says Forming the Pact. Every time I hit the “Quit this episode” button in LS2, the story remains active. I can switch between LS2 episodes, but can’t reactivate the personal Story.

Personal Story Restoration
Some updates to the Personal Story are coming. I’d like to take this opportunity to give you some details on what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and what to expect in the future.

Background
Back in 2014 we released the September Feature Pack, which introduced a number of changes to the game. Among those changes were revisions to the Personal Story, including a reorganization of certain story steps. The “My Greatest Fear” story steps were deactivated for many players, and three steps from chapter 8 were moved into chapter 7. This prevented some players from accessing certain content and also introduced some continuity errors.

What We’re Restoring
To put it simply, we’re reactivating the “My Greatest Fear” story steps and putting chapter 8 content back in its original position in the overall narrative. We’re also making some minor improvements to the content, like writing and recording new voice-over for a few key characters, tweaking some camera moves, updating select art assets, and more.

What This Means for You
When the update goes live, it will restore the Personal Story steps in chapters 7 and 8 to their original order. This will affect a small number of users who currently have characters in certain states of story completion. You can check your current story completion status by accessing the Story Journal in your Hero Panel. By default, you can access this inside the game by pressing H and then clicking on the Story Journal tab and selecting My Story.

• If your character has not completed “A Light in the Darkness,” (chapter 6) you should not encounter any issues. You will be able to experience the Personal Story in its restored order along with the minor improvements that begin with this story step.

• If your character has not completed “Forging the Pact,” you should not encounter any issues. While you will not be able to replay previous story steps to see some of the minor improvements that were made, you will be able to play the “My Greatest Fear” story content (based on the choice you made at the end of “A Light in the Darkness”) and also experience the restored chapter 8 story steps.

• If your character has completed Forging the Pact and skipped ahead to “The Battle of Fort Trinity,” then you will not be able to play the “My Greatest Fear” story steps with this character.

• If your character is currently playing “Against the Corruption,” “Cathedral of Silence,” “Romke’s Final Voyage,” or “The Source of Orr,” you must complete your story steps through the Source of Orr to begin chapter 8. If you do not complete “The Source of Orr” before the Personal Story restoration goes live, you will be advanced to “Victory or Death” upon completion of “The Source of Orr.” “Victory or Death” is the final Personal Story step (and you will miss out on most of chapter 8 with this character). This is due to these steps being moved back into chapter 8 and the successor steps being restored to their original state.

• The story step “Victory or Death” and “The Ruined City of Arah (story)” dungeon are being merged and revised to support 1–5 players. The previous version of the Ruined City of Arah (story) dungeon will be retired, and the explorable version will be unlocked by default.

The Problem is most likely related to the “Personal Story Restoration update”, but i see no solution here.

Any more information on this? Still blocking progress.

I have the same issue, with being stuck at Forging the pact , and unable to select the personal story back. I’ve contacted customer service but only got back a default sounding reply. "The Guild Wars 2 Development Team is aware of this issue and team members currently are working on addressing it. "
