I’m a new player and having an absolute whale of a time trundling through the Personal Story, but my arrival in Orr has been met with stuff not being… entirely right.

Forgive me, I can’t remember the names of the missions right now, but the one in which the Eye of Zhaitan is killed, is revealed to be King Reza, and and we cleanse Orr with Caledbolg seems misplaced. I rocked up to the start of the mission and met a bunch of new (to me) characters I had no idea who they were, but greeted them like old friends and comrades, discussed events I have no memory of and was generally pretty confused.

Now, subsequent to that mission, I’m meeting all these people for the first time (again) and catching up on what was discussed in that earlier mission. I feel like I’m in Doctor Who.

It seems fairly clear that I’ve managed to do some content way ahead of when I was supposed to. I don’t mind so much but it’s probably worth looking into to see how it happened and if anything can be done about it. Probably it spoiled some of what’s about to happen in the story for me; it’d be nice to make sure it doesn’t affect anyone else

It affects everyone else. And that is a problem. It’s just not your problem. The September Feature Patch intentionally reshuffled the higher level parts of the Personal Story for reasons no-one outside ANET understands. It completely neglected to fix all the inconsistencies that have crept up as a result, though.

Well, darn. Obviously it takes stacks more work to basically rework large chunks of mission(s) than to just reshuffle them, but while I don’t mind a reshuffle if Anet thinks it works better that way, they should really put the effort in to make sure it all still makes sense. And then release the update as a bundle. Particularly for people like me who get easily confused

Well, that’s thanks to the (dumb) changes made for NPE (New Players Experience). Some story chapters were moved around but left several pieces around that doesn’t make any sense. You can find some more about it here https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Changes-Coming-to-the-NPE/ although the thread isn’t about Personal Story only but some posts say about it.
