Guild Wars 2

Bumping this, I really want to see this mood spoiler of a bug going away. Please just reset the personal story (to the last mission before the skip) for the affected characters..

I’m getting close to lvl 48 and debating if I should do the lvl 48 personal story quest or if I should wait for the REAL fix instead – getting my story reset to the lvl 31 quest that was rightfully next in my personal story.
Since this bug hit me I feel that my character’s progress has slowed down considerably(perhaps also due to the diminishing interest in the story, besides the XP and rewards that were refused to me thanks to this bug).
..So, any news about the fix?

Character name: Latrodio
Lvl 30 Story before skip: “The Queen’s Justice”
Story skipped to: “On Red Alert” (48)

Possibly unrelated, once in a while (only a couple of times since the game release) I experience this strange sound mixing bug:
The footsteps (stomping) of a pet belonging to a player nearby (it was a bear the last time, not that it matters) are abnormally loud compared to other sounds in the game. It was like the game’s sound mixing engine somehow “forgot” to assign the right volume to that particular sound – it was standing out above all the environmental, UI and fight sounds (annoyingly loud, I had to take my headphones off).
In my Sound options the Master volume and other sliders are already toned down quite a bit, so it’s like this particular sound effect was ignoring all those settings and came through at full volume anyway.

After posting my experience with the same bug I saw that there has been an official response from about this bug already which I found quite unconvincing. I am a software developer myself and while I admit this game is an outstanding work, addressing this bug in particular does not seem to involve more than a reset of the story line data to the point just before the gap in the story line. The gap is glaringly obvious there in the *My Story" tab – so in the server-side data it should be obvious as well, so I urge developers to make an effort and implement an automatic check & fix of this annoying bug which is disappointing for a lot of customers:

1) Check the story log of each character to find if there is a gap in the story line

2) If such a gap exists, reset the story to the last personal quest before the gap

I’ve yet to see a convincing explanation as to why an approach like this wouldn’t work. I’m pretty sure that whatever collateral personal “story” issues this fix could introduce for a particular character would be less undesirable than what the current bug is introducing.
Depriving players of game content because of a bug and then being unwilling to fix it properly is not good for your karma

Same here, on my Thief, after doing the same last few personal quests (below 31) together with a friend, we had the next quest showing at 31 for a while – we went to Lion’s Arch but didn’t enter it, instead we went back to level up a few more days – during all this time it was still showing at 31. But last night I just happen to notice, after traveling again to Lion’s Arch, that my personal quest suddenly shows that my next quest is “On Red Alert” (48) ! My friend says his next personal quest is still at 31 as we remember, so he’s OK — only my personal story is bugged.
Perhaps it’s important to note that in the last few personal quests my friend was the “lead” controling the story, I was only accepting the outcome and accepting the advancing of the personal quest. But now mine is bugged.. Please FIX!
