Guild Wars 2

I would love to be able to reorder the weapon skills.

An update would be great.

Fray Ghul, skipped from level 30 story Stealing Secrets.

EvanTeicheira.3962:

For those who have been affected by the issue, can I please get the following information:

• Group composition:
  • Race, Profession, Level of Characters, etc.
  • Story choices for each character in the group (Blackout, Vigil, etc.)
• Who owned the Kellach’s Attack instance (which character created the instance in which others joined)?
• Which characters progressed on to the Level 48 quest?
• For those who did not progress on to the Level 48 quest, what quest were they directed to instead?

Group composition:

• [Me] Fray Ghul, Norn Mesmer (32). Revenge, Guard the Mists, Raven.
• Wat, Norn Necromancer (32). Revenge, Protect the Spirits, Wolf.

Story choices. Same for both characters. Chose Order of Whispers.

• Underground Scholar
• The Dredge Hideout
• Sabotage
• Sever the Head (Wat’s instance)

I chose to advance after we completed Sever the Head, at which point both of us were on Stealing Secrets. When I took a waypoint to Lion’s Arch I was skipped to Suspicious Activity. Wat remains on Stealing Secrets.

RedJar.1759:

Losing exp is kind of a pain, but the bug happened to people who were playing in groups… you can still experience the story by playing through the events with your significant other / friends etc. And if it really were that big of a deal for me I could just re-roll, I haven’t put that much time into the character yet. However it does seem prudent to develop some way of fixing issues like this in the future, when re-rolling a character means a much bigger investment.

Rerolling may not be a big deal to you, but many of here are unwilling to do so, especially those of us playing our characters with significant others, siblings, or friends. I play with my twin brother. We would have to both reroll. And it won’t really work to just play through our companions’ version of the story: they’ll be getting experience and rewards that we’ll have to grind out (solo! to catch up) if we want to stay together, which is the only way I want to play this game. And this is supposed to be my story; so much for personal choice.

I’m glad ArenaNet is taking another look at this.

ArenaNet already explained the cause of the bug: it is due to a fix for another issue that most of us didn’t have in the first place. They’ve said they won’t fix it and provided a weak justification. I am so disappointed.

I was not playing in a group “to get past some of the stories blocked by bad character data.” Like others, I was grouping for fun and my story quests were working fine. I think many of us are collateral damage from this “fix” and I’m not happy with ANet saying there is nothing they can do.

This happened to me last night. I advanced from Stealing Secrets to Suspicious Activity when I entered Lion’s Arch. My brother and I have been rotating leading / advancing in the personal story. His storyline is fine.
