Guild Wars 2

Katra Heartsong.3829:

Add my name to list, I had the cultivated seed in my bank waiting for today’s patch. I’m wondering if anyone has completed the first step after the patch. My husband needs to wait a few more days for his plates of piquant plant food as he doesn’t have cooking and I do. Will he be bugged like everyone else?

My boyfriend made his Mysterious Vine today after the patch and he got the Cultivated Seed so he should be fine.

This also happened to me…

- I created the Mysterious Vine a week ago, before the patch.
- I had the Cultivated Seed stored in my account bank.
- I have not begun or activated Dragon’s Reach P2 story arc yet.

Please help!!!

Edit: Attached a screen shot of the Pet Seed.

I’m a casual player at the moment as I can’t commit to big long sessions of play but I have played since launch in a good guild who does a lot of WvW. I need a better computer to play WvW but I enjoy dungeons and SPvP and have 400 crafting in Artificer and Tailor on my main character, a level 80 Mesmer. I’m looking for a guild where I can be useful and enjoy playing with others.

I’m currently on the Jade Quarry server but I’m willing to transfer. My time zone is GMT +11.

Feel free to send me a message in-game if you want to know more!

Also having this problem, posted about it a month ago, still no fix for it. What is going on!?

Also looking for an invite.

I don’t think I can add much more aside from what has already been said (still annoyed I couldn’t finish the largos event), but I’d like to make a plea as a player in a timezone outside the US.

I realise that the market for the game is obviously mainly based in the US and EU but it really feels like I, and my friends miss out on all the exciting things when it comes to one time events. The same thing happened for Halloween. It is just not possible to schedule for me to play for 2 hours at 8am in the morning for a 2 hour event. I missed the beginning attack in LA for phase one, the transition event to phase two and desperately logged in after breakfast and dropping kids at school to find the event boss is dead on overflows and my server. I know people are complaining about not getting any loot but at least you got to participate! There are so many Aussies, NZers and people from Asia who miss out on these one time events and I realise that they can’t be repeating events because that would take the “specialness” away from them but there needs to be a way for all players to at least have the chance to participate if they want to. It’s just not possible for me to wake up at 4am to prepare for it.

So please, consider some kind of instancing of these special events, so that Aussies and other oceanic guilds can have a crack at them if they need to a few hours (more like 12 hrs) after the event becomes available. If the event was linked to some kind of one-time achievement that blocks you entering a queue for it once you have it would stop farming and preserve the specialness.

I really hate feeling like I’m being left out. We play while American players are sleeping, keeping WvWvW matches going and that makes it feel like we are doing an important job but when it comes to PvE it’s like we don’t exist at all and aren’t even given a chance to experience the content.

The NPCs to hand the items to in LA are gone and Canach and the largos aren’t in Kessex Hills any more so all that time I spent yesterday getting the other items was a waste now?

Very disappointed.

Also, I’m Australian so I realise I can’t complain too much about the time of events changing over but I’m not gunna wake up early on a Sunday… a bit more time would have been nice…

Currently I am on the final story quest, but, I can only scroll down to see Starving the Beast and if I scroll past that the rest is blank.

So I can’t go back and read any quests I did after that, including:

- Ossuary of the Unquiet Dead
- Further into Orr
- Hunters and Prey
- Air Drop
- Blast from the Past
- Against the Corruption
- Cathedral of Silence
- The Source of Orr
- Victory or Death

If I click on my current quest in the right hand corner I can see that quest page but can’t select any others after Starving the Beast.

Attached two pictures showing what I see. Anyone else have this problem?

I was having this problem too – restarted the quest 3 times. Decided to restart the whole game client and when I tried again it worked. I also stayed on the road while running to the lumber camp and back from the lumber camp.

This time the sky gets dark and there were at least 20 risen attacking the gate already as opposed to the 6 that turned up when I got there before. I hope more people can complete this quest! (Also don’t forget to get the POI next to the underwater gate while doing it.)

So far I have encountered a few instances of this occurring.

Spoiler warning for text below.

1. The text description for the quest “Bad Blood” (one of the first Priory quests) is completely blank in my character’s log.

2. The text description for “The Battle of Claw Island” cuts out:

After the defeat at Claw Island, the survivors returned to Lion’s Arch. It will take

3. The text description in the Priory quest “The Ghost Rite” is incorrect. As a member of the Priory it says the following:

Steward Gixx told me to meet with the other Durmand Priory operatives near the Durmand Memorial in Lion’s Arch.

Zhaitan’s forces attacked from the beach, but we held them off. General Soulkeeper is returning to Vigil Keep to rally an army. In the meantime, Trahearne and I are going to call upon our allies across the continent. Tyria is in great danger.

It talks about Vigil stuff instead of Priory.

Can a dev confirm that these things are going to be fixed at some point? I know they are not of great priority but it would be nice to know that they will eventually make sense.

Has anyone else encountered similar text problems?

Not sure why everyone is saying we have no stability skills; here is a list of utilities that break stun:

Blink, Mirror Images, Decoy, Signet of Midnight, Mantra of Concentration (which gives stability and breaks stun).

You can also used Phase Retreat to at least get away from enemies while waiting for skill recharge.

In PvE as a condition damage mesmer I use mostly Feedback, Blink, Signet of Domination (usually all the time), Signet of Illusions, Null Field in high condition situations along with Mantra of Resolve and maybe Disenchanter, as well as Illusion of Life.

I really don’t understand why you guys don’t like IoL. I used it ALL THE TIME in dungeons. Means you can keep moving and revive party members who got stomped by some aoe or res someone far away without having to run over to them. Seriously saves butts in long tricky fights. It would be more useful in PvP if it had a shorter cooldown but still a viable utility for a staff mesmer with 3 warlocks pumping out your damage on a boss fight while you run around buffing and supporting your group.

I can still see it here:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Did-Part-of-Your-Story-Get-Skipped-or-Changed-Post-here/page/11#post320761

but it’s no longer at the top of the forum page. I know the skipping problem was fixed but I have been waiting for over 3 weeks for my storyline that got switched to the wrong line at level 70 and I am seriously considering deleting my level 80 character and leveling again without doing story quests. The main reason I wanted to play this game was for the story but since it’s so buggy there is no point. It effects the items for personal instance and being a little bit pedantic about congruity I cannot have my character with quests that don’t make sense.

What is going on? Is this problem going to be fixed any time soon? Is it even being looked at?

Jeffrey Vaughn.1793:

The original issue that caused the skip has been fixed for some time now.

As far as I know, if you were skipped ahead, you will be reset, period.

I’m also seeing several posts that have nothing to do with this thread. If you have general problems with a story step, please post in the story forum. (After checking to see if there’s already a thread.)

I’m happy that the players who had their stories skip have now been fixed but is there any news on a fix for the other problems with quests going to the wrong lines and text missing from the story-quest logs?

I have stopped playing because I want to finish the personal story but every time I log in and see the wrong quest that I shouldn’t be there pop up on my screen it makes me want to delete my level 80 character (with almost 400 crafting in two professions and some pvp rank) and start again because it’s unfair that her story makes no sense because of a bug. It also seems like there are still reports of people having their quests change at several points in the story so is it even “safe” to do the personal story quests without fear of it bugging and changing on another character?

I really want to play but its just too depressing to play a character knowing I might end up deleting it because I’m unhappy with the locked story progression.

Will there ever be a fix for the characters that got changed to the wrong quest lines?

Will the Oct 1st update fix characters’ story that got changed to a different line as well as the ones that skipped?

I got a similar response explaining what they are trying to do to fix this:

“We are aware of this issue and the Development Team is diligently working on resolving it. Unfortunately, the support team does not have the ability to make manual changes to your character’s storyline quests. The only way to resolve this issue is by the Development Team releasing a patch for it. I realize how frustrating this situation must be and I’m truly sorry there isn’t more direct assistance I can offer. The only thing I can recommend at this time is to keep an eye on the Game Status Update page on our wiki for news concerning this issue. In the meantime, I recommend playing another character until we’re able to get this issue fixed.”

I agree that this is taking a little longer than I would like. The first support ticket I made about this problem was on the 2nd of Sept when my Lvl71 character got put on the wrong quest line. They auto-replied and closed that one a few days later so I opened another and I have gotten two “we are working on stuff please watch the game updates and keep checking” messages but they also closed my ticket after the last one until I updated it again. Poor form. My character has been 80 for two weeks and I still haven’t continued the personal story because I’m still hopeful it will be fixed. I do regret continuing to craft and explore and spvp on her though because now I am becoming increasingly frustrated and am considering deleting the character entirely to start again (but I am apprehensive about that because I would hate the same problem to occur!)

Please let us know if progress is being made at all and if this problem is even fixable. Letting us know if it’s not will at least give us a chance to reroll or decide what to do with our characters. (I’m not really a fan of having a broken story line.)

Character name: Raylee, level 80 human mesmer in the Priory.
Server: Isle of Janthir

Story quest: was on Breaking the Bone Ship, after The Battle of Fort Trinity changed to Liberating Apatia. Chose “being responsible for the death of an innocent” (I think, can’t remember now its been a few weeks since I did it.)

Have not completed Liberating Apatia as I want to be put back on the correct line.

Turgon.8625:

I was wondering if anyone else had encountered this as well. This, for me is a horrible horrible bug, worse than a mission not working.

I have played through the story and got the same broken issue with the orb and Apatia being introduced out of nowhere but as if I had known about them all along. Since personal stories are one time only missions my characters personal storyline has been permanently and un-reversibly broken.

Extremely disappointed and have pretty much lost all interest in completing the rest of the story on this character.

I feel the same way. I’m still hoping it can be fixed as I haven’t completed the quest to rescue Apatia yet but I am very very dissapointed. I don’t want to reroll my character, as she is level 80 and I have done a lot of crafting and exploring on her. It is so unfair, I am very angry at myself for buying gems in the store because if they can’t fix something like this they don’t deserve my money.

Well thanks for clearing up the story behind it – but I still don’t want to do it as it won’t make sense for my character!

I am getting very frustrated as I want to finish the personal story but I don’t want it to get “stuck” if I complete the quest.

This post will have spoilers in it.

So, I have had two support tickets responded to in a generic automatic fashion which are completely unhelpful to the problem I am experiencing with my personal story. Both times the replies pretty much consist of “we are constantly fixing quests so just hang in there”. The problem with my quest is that my progress is not being blocked, it’s on the wrong quest line.

Background of the problem: Unfortunately, I completed The Battle of Fort Trinity a few hours before the some fixes were applied to it. I did not realise how severely bugged it actually was until I finished the quest. My character is a human mesmer in the Priory and the quest beforehand was Breaking the Bone Ship (I think) where you assist Tonn to blow up the Orrian ship and he unfortunately dies. The NPCs made it sound as though I would be going to visit Tonn’s wife at some point in the future to let her know. So, I get into the Fort and Trehearne is talking about someone named Apatia and an orb and I was slightly confused. I spoke to him and he mentioned something about Tonn’s explosives so I figured it was just pre-quest banter. But then I continue the quest, the characters are talking about the orb, I have to get the orb that I helped find (very confused by this point) everything goes according to the plan, I have no idea what is going on, but I complete the quest.

Now the next quest I have is Liberating Apatia (71). I don’t know who this character is. I don’t know what the orb I apparently found is.

I want my character to be on the correct quest line. It is unreasonable and unfair that new characters will have normal story logs while mine will be incongruous. My character has been level 80 for two weeks and she still has Liberating Apatia uncompleted because I don’t want to do it, I want to talk to Tonn’s wife. I was really enjoying the story quests until this point. Now I am unable to continue, I can’t get the point of interest inside Fort Trinity and this stupid quest that I don’t want to do is constantly on my screen.

I expect, seeing that Anet has all character data on their servers, that it would not be unreasonable for them to change my quest back to the correct one (as I haven’t completed Liberating Apatia yet), or reset my quest line (which I would not mind) or let me complete The Battle of Fort Trinity again. I have put a lot of time into my character and it would upset me if her personal story – which I know is not a central part of the game, but still important to me – made no sense. Seeing as these quests will affect our home instances as well, I would like it to be correct.

Does anyone else have this problem and what did you do?

Also, the text for The Battle of Claw Island is mostly missing from my log.

My main character is a Human Mesmer (noble) in the Priory and I am quite confused/upset about the current state of my personal story at level 70-71. Before the quest “The Battle of Fort Trinity” I was helping Tonn blow up the bone ship and it was seeming as if the next quest after the Battle of Fort Trinity would be to talk to Tonn’s wife. However, when I got into the Battle quest the NPCs were talking about a krait orb and an Asura named Apatia who I haven’t met before. At this point I should have stopped and waited for patch fixes but I didn’t and completed the quest. Now my level 71 quest is to rescue Apatia whom I apparently found this orb with. So, I’m pretty sure that I have been put into the wrong quest line. My character is now level 80 but I haven’t started the quest to rescue Apatia as I don’t want my characters’ story log to be incongruous.

I have really been enjoying the story line so far, and I would be very disappointed if this cannot be fixed; it makes no sense and I would be upset if my characters’ story remained broken. Also since our home instances would reflect this silliness…

Would it be possible to reset my quest line back to before the Battle of Fort Trinity? To roll it back to the right point and get me on the correct line? I wouldn’t care doing it all again if I had to – I just want it to make sense!

Any advice from people with similar problems?
