No, you just have to do the story step with a character who has already done the story.

A few ways I can think of:

1. Start the Path of Fire story and run there.

2. Enter from the desert guild hall (if you're in a guild that uses the desert guild hall).

3. Enter from Jahai Bluffs (though, I suspect that is where you are trying to go?).

As people have already said (and I've done myself with a few characters), they can all be solo'd. A party makes it go much faster though. Recently, I've been trying to get a particular achievement (kill a main bad guy under two minutes) and just couldn't pull it off. Two guildies helped me out when I asked and we melted the baddie in less than 30 seconds. Join an active casual guild and work together :)

And on a similar note, if someone accidentally leaves the instance or dc's they cannot get back in. Also requiring everyone to be in the same instance of EotN to start it is cumbersome, side effect of the way these old type of instanced content works.

This. Got to experience (1) today. Killed what little desire I had to do drms.

I (and a few others who have posted with regards to this) think they actually meant the Icebrood Saga track, NOT the Drizzlewood track. The Icebrood Saga track does exactly what they said they "fixed" the Drizzlewood one to do.

The Jade Sea was already "melting" back in GW1. Don't get your hopes up.

Also it should be looked into who is making the complaints too, F2P should be able to use the forum for research but not to complain about the free game that they get to play. And the devs need to have the balance tested by players before it gets implemented.

Give me examples and how you're right instead of just saying that I am wrong. Then I can see what you're talking about, and I will give you one example even though it's a repeat of something I have already commented about on another post. Mesmers and minions and their boons in WvW.

The burden of proof is on you, actually. You made the claim, now back it up with something concrete.

Isn't it 300? 50 tokens per Gift and 6 pieces.

More blunt than I would have put it, but this is pretty much it.

Did you actually use the Dragonhunter trait, or only train it?

Nah, they'll make it so you have to pay for each slot in the armoury separately...

As implied above, jumping height is always the same no matter how long you hold space, so to avoid the glider popping out, just tap the jump button instead.

When I realised this, it made jumping puzzle stuff so much easier.

What you want isn't an option right now, so you'll just have to learn to do that. Or just avoid places where accidental gliding is a problem.

~~Doesn't work for Infantile. The adventuring achievements must be done in Normal or Tribulation mode.~~

Ugh, skimmed over that part.

So like if you're behind on say, EP and you come in late that tier, in WoW you can catch up as much as you can through other means and when the next tier hits, you're on the same level more or less as everyone else, so people can't ask for KP, etc before letting you in to groups at the beginning of the new tier. GW2 has this unique issue where there isn't really anything resetting anyone's progress and no content is ever outdated per se.

> > > > >

> > > > > Not resetting progress means that there's no natural way that new players to jump into the content with experienced ones to allow for any kind of mixing. This is an issue with Strikes as well right now, they're starting to stratify just like raids (maybe not as bad, because plenty of people like me seem willing to PuG in a more casual manner and we still *GASP* actually succeed), but it's still a problem nonetheless that people are asking for KP in beginning group content. When I was learning boneskinner before EotN I actually didn't kick noob players I had in my group for this reason: I wanted them to have a good experience with the player base. That was probably my worst boneskinner clear ever and took longer, but I don't regret it at all for the impact it had on the new player who was fawning about how fun it was.

> > > > >

> > > > > This "I just want my rewards and other people are a means of getting it" mentality is just becoming a symptom of the way progress works in high-end PVE content. I mean that's really what you're saying when you make LFGs like that, you're not willing to teach anyone else. Which is just as toxic as not being willing to try/learn new things. And makes the community seem unfriendly. Maybe that's why blow-out metas are the most popular content in the game. just sayin' some of you are the creators of your own problems...

> > > > >

> > > > And huge mistake you made is this: you asume that players ask for high requirements becausethey want loot fast. That is not always the case. I ask for high requirements (well, I only do strikEs with raid static but for same reason why I would ask for high requirements) because I dont care about the loot or kill.

> > > > When I do strikes or raids, I want to have fun. And I have fun if players come together, they take responsibilities, they comunicate and they try to make every effort to not only kill the boss, but do so in as efective way as possible. We could just take anything, go there and kill it while talking about cats but then it would be ~10 minutes of a chore. Or we can wait 30 minutes doing something fun while waiting for one pug to join and ten have 5 minutes of fun.

> > > >

> > >

> > > Well in the long run if players aren't teaching new people, the number of people for your PuG will keep declining. The value of any mmo activity is in how much of the playet base it involves. If you take time to teach more people, you'll still get the fun you want, because you're communicating with them. Also, let's be real, there's usually less communication when people actually know what they're doing, and you're probably an outlier in the intent behind those high requirements.

> I almost never see training runs going. If you're willing to help people that's great, i can tell you based on the ratio of training to non training runs in lfg, that my opinion of raiders (and community as it matures in any content) as a whole is that they have no desire to work with newer players/teach mechanics. If you're truly doing as you say my comments were in no way aimed at you.

Don't wait for training runs in lfg, join Raid Academy. It's how I started until I found a guild in my timezone willing to train and run raids.

So... you fought someone near an objective they owned? That sounds like bad positioning.

Open your Hero Panel (the one with equipment, traits, achievements) and click the tab down the bottom - this opens your masteries.

Use your mastery points to unlock these abilities - that's what the game is saying.

Except... I am the Scrapper...

Also tested this last night and can confirm.

I was playing on Henge of Denravi, in the 21:20 UTC +11 (Dec 4th) event in Gendarran Fields.

I was a female human ranger (soulbeast).

I had this problem a couple of days ago, too. Submitted a bug report.
