Guild Wars 2

I’m doing this part of the personal story and am at Black Haven standing on the green star right where I’m supposed to be and there is no Agent Ihan to talk to. Since the personal story is linear, I now will likely never get this done because I doubt Anet is going to fix a bug for just one person.

On other games I would contact a GM and they’d advance the quest for me within 10 minutes or so, so I could keep playing but I see no function in-game like this for GW2. What exactly am I supposed to do? Just give up on ever completing the personal story for my character?

Well, you need to enter the story instance. Agent Ihan will be there once you do that.

There is no prompt on the green star to enter an instance of any kind.

Really? There definitely should be, Agent Ihan is waiting for you in the instance. Maybe run back and/or leave the zone and go back to the entrance? Sometimes these things don’t work the first time you come close.

Have you talked to the Lionguard at Overlake Haven first?

I talked to Lionguard Keene. I exited and re-entered the zone. I restarted the game. Twice. I restarted the computer. I ran all over the haven building inside and out. I jumped on the lionguard’s head.

Did I miss anything?

No, by all means you should get the instance prompt now.

As a workaround, you can lfg for someone who also needs that instance and team up with them to advance your story. If nobody here can help you, you can always submit a ticket ingame (Game Menu- > Support).

I submitted an in-game bug report, but I see nothing that indicates they fix these things close to the time of the ticket and I can’t find anyone else with this problem on the forum, so if I’m the only one experiencing this, then I doubt they’ll fix it for me, so it is upsetting not ever getting to finish the story because of this.

Note – not a bug

I just started the game and reached this mission and thought the same thing. but there is another story point at Delanian Point the NE that will continue the story. There are two green story swirls – go to the one away from Black Haven.

Thanks a ton, same exact thing happened to me like in the OP, went to Delanian to get to that part to progress
