Because personal story takes place before the story in Heart of Thorns. So yeah, you did the story out of order.

This is sort of the case with Living story seasons, expansions and Personal story. You can start them out of order without any message saying that you are doing so.

Though at least the story journal itself keeps everything in chronological order. (which is Personal story, Living Story Season 1; Living Story Season 2; Heart of Thorns; Living Story Season 3; and then Path of Fire

Whenever I put a Dungeon LFG up it usually fills just as fast if not faster than any fractal or raid LFG. Maybe the LFG just looks empty because the groups fill up so fast.

Rather than just dismissing this as perfectly fine like everyone else's initial reaction here, there's some annoyance with the LFG having level requirements.

You can't view the LFG with the level requirement if you don't meet the requirements.

But also: You can't view the LFG if someone in your party doesn't meet the requirements.

I don't see a huge issue on removing any such requirements for simply viewing the LFG sections. It can also be useful if you want to to Tier 4 fractals with your decked out character, and you simply don't have the option to join Tier 4 because you haven't attained the right fractal level yet. Then you can view the LFG and simply whisper a person within that group to invite you in.

Also, prefer to unlock generally ALL features of the LFG even if I'm on a lower level alt. (unlock it accountwide if you have the lvl requirements on an alternate character.) Of course, you could also switch character, but it feels strange to do so just to view and interact with the LFG. Maybe I like to play my lower level character while waiting for a fitting LFG to come up or even post one.

Plus new players in early fractals being a problem? With the level 80 boost this will be a thing regardless.

There's definitely cases where I can see joining with a lower level character shouldn't be allowed, but with all the options to circumvent that exact same thing I don't see these requirements all that necessary at all and just a mere hindrance that shouldn't be there.

Definitely some cases where I can see that the restrictions are a bit too much.

Must say, this does look fancy.

There's quite some nice things, like auto saving drafts (The reoccurring popup is a teensy bit annoying), Tagging people, notifications and bookmarks. Hopefully a working search function and even the thumbs up and down or helpful is nice.

Sad to say I don't like arbitrary rules that didn't exist before.

Edit time, not being able to post pictures, no signatures.

A ranking system where you need to earn your "basic" forum functions seems like a way to earn something in a forum that is replacing another feels very off to me. Alot of people have been posting useful discussions and useful stuff in the old forums, to take away those previously normal rights and now put them under policing feels like it's a bit restricting. It's harder to adjust to a new forum if you suddenly change the rules as well, and it doesn't make it feel as a home and instead feels more like oh all those things you could do before, not anymore!

Also putting the whole old forum down the drain with so much information there within a months time is slightly off putting. Then again, I probably can't remember all the relevant topics anymore, and little there is to stop us from recreating or revisiting topics I suppose.

Forget the past and let's move forward is great on paper, but disrespects the past completely.
