I am unable to continue the very first Sylvari Personal Story – pre boss spawn. There were a lot of other players all stuck in the dynamic event as well, asking us to kill more sylvari hounds..but it would not progress. I am unable to port to friend or guild hall, since it is in the very first cinematic… therefore; I am unable to even leave the instance or progress in any way.
I just spent a lot of my inventory on this character to get him to level 39… this is extremely lame if I have to scrap him.
EDIT:
I was able to use my home portal stone and escape to The Grove, and continue through the map as normal, bypassing the opening story completely. So now I am still unable to continue the story at all.
