With all due respect, I think this is getting a tad over the top. This thread was created ten days ago, and the last response from an ANet moderator was almost a week ago. It would be nice to get some sort of an update as to the progress of the fix for this problem, as this bug is widespread and game breaking.
Is it possible to roll the quest back to the point before the bug occurred, so we can at least play through the story solo? This is getting quite frustrating, and my questing partner is also getting increasingly annoyed as she wants to continue her personal story, but doesn’t want to do so without me.
Character Name: Kunimin Stormhammer
Quest Stage: Approximately Level 30. Properly completed Silent Warfare. Skipped to On Red Alert.
Background: Questing with someone, other player chose faction and I was given the option to complete quest when they chose. “Silent Warfare” was initiated by myself. Was given quest after killing Vyacheslav to go to Lion’s Arch. Took an Asura gate to Lion’s Arch, but then was given quest “On Red Alert” (48)
Edit: A bit of thinking on my part which may or may not be helpful. It seems that the bug happens as a result of the player not choosing his/her own faction at level 30 (and perhaps the later quests too… unsure as I haven’t reached them as a result of this bug), and instead accepting the quest progression from their instanced partner.
In my understanding of character ‘flags’ it seems that the quest is being flagged as completed, but the “decision” choice flag is not being applied. So it skips to the next quest that does not require that “decision” flag.
Also, while NegativeFusion below might be a little more harsh than I’d have put it, it would be nice if we could get more informative updates than what we’ve been getting, such as estimated timeframe and such.
