Kyrios.8736 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 On my alt characters where I haven't completed LWS2, every time I log in the story resumes. If I quit it, it resumes after changing map or relogging. This needs to be fixed as soon as possible, I've checked old posts and it seems to be a problem for at least 3 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 It's always been that way, and likely always will. The only way to remove a Story is to finish it, or start another. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Story_Journal#Notes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really need to fix this, LWS2 has no skippable dialogues, has very bad rewards making it not worth doing more than once and meme-tier story that's just cringe-inducing waste of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if you wanted any of the Achievements, or Achievement rewards, you were required to play the Chapters in Living World Season 2 twice. I'm not sure there are any 'dialogues that can be skipped' since the change from the 'talking heads'-type cutscenes. I'm not sure it was 'neglected'; not every feature that some players might want is 'neglected' because someone wants it and it has not materialized. Some players enjoy Living World Season Two more than any other season. 🤷♂️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hash.8462 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 The worst part is that with LWS2 you also have to finish all the following parts up to the end of the whole LWS2 because the following steps will start automatically (that don' happens with LWS3/4/5)... and that is why I'm doing them with a character who has never done the story. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that hard to fix the "quit episode" thing on Anet's end and stop it from resuming every time we change map instance or relog. It won't prevent you from playing it again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) Really? How do you know it is not difficult? Since it has been there since launch, and it has been nearly 9 years, perhaps it is so many layers down, it would be difficult to change. The Devs state that the UI is the most difficult part of the game to code. I'm sure you remember what happened the last time the Devs changed something associated with the Personal Story. Bugs galore, and they had to change it back. p.s. I did not claim to like the story; I said some players prefer Season Two over other seasons. Some prefer Season One, some Season 3 or 4. The game has many different individuals with many different tastes, and, unfortunately for some, can not cater to one individual without disappointing another.

And this is why it's best to fix button that lets us quit the story episode. How can it be so difficult? The button clearly exists, and it's bugged. It's not like they have to add something out of thin air. They add dozens of new skins and gemstore items each month. It's simple, they neglected it because not enough people complained and it's not profitable to fix something like that, as players don't quit over it because it only affects spare characters that don't complete story. Problem is that while redoing LWS3/4 on all characters is profitable because they give good rewards, LWS2 is dragged out and not worth doing after getting all the related achievements to it, which can be done in 2-3 runs at most. It's very annoying, every time you change map instance with character that didn't complete story, it restarts even if you quit it. I wish I could un-own the LWS2. Wouldn't even have bothered with new legendary amulet and deleted LWS2 mails if I knew there was a bug like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 It's not any different for any story; not for Personal Story, not for Season 2, Season 3, Season 4, The Icebrood Saga. It's not a bug, it's this way because that's the way it was coded. You may think it's a mistake to have created the feature in this way, but it is not a bug. Also, the Devs that design items that may appear in the Gem Store are not the Devs that work on the UI. It's not like everyone that works at ArenaNet can do every job, has the skills and training for such diverse positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
