Guild Wars 2

Jeffrey Vaughn.1793:

At what point did your next quest change? Did it suddenly go from “Tower Down” to “Shell Shock”? What was your next listed step when you finished “Forging the Pact”? Just looking at the journal there’s no apparent issue, it looks like it would for any character that chose that story branch.

I never received the “Tower Down” mission. After the pick your fear quest, I just played like normal and thought I was on the right track. After “Forging the Pact”, my next step was to meet some artillery squad in “Shell Shock”. In my journal in the screenshot you can see the regular progression of the quest line if I would have chosen the “Lose respect of comrades” option (Shell Shock, Volcanic Extraction, Marshaling the Truth). I chose the “Letting an innocent die path” and you can see that I was put back on that path in the mission “A Sad Duty”. It was then that I realized something was wrong since they started referencing characters I had never met.

Jeffrey Vaughn.1793:

How did you do the quest twice? Did your friend NOT accept progress the first time?

Yes that is correct. My apologies for not being clear on that. We ran it once for me (my instance) and I chose one option and he did NOT accept progress. He wanted to choose something different so we ran it a second time (his instance).

Affected Character: Jetset
Possibly also affected since he tagged along: Rinyou

At the Pale Tree, I chose the option “Being responsible for the death of an innocent”. We did the quest again and Rinyou chose “Losing respect of comrades”.

After this I started to receive quests on the “Losing respect” path (Shell Shock, Volcanic Extraction, Marshaling the Truth) and after The Battle of Fort Trinity quest, I was back on the “death of an innocent” path with A Sad Duty quest.
