1 of my couple of sources of total GW2 morale deflation comes from realizing that my personal story, all mine, & soloable for 99% of it, not my neighbor's issue, ends in a 5-man instance.
I respect the GW2 5-man ethic, just check out my post history. I'm the most adamant non-dungeon runner who thinks dungeons in THIS Guild Wars 2 gold game will need to stay as they're, no trinity, no automatic dungeon finder.
& that same vehemence, which I sustain, locks me out of the end of my private story. It feels like a mild betrayal that my stance is simultaneously "yay! Private story for Guild Wars 2 item players to solo & take pleasure in on their own & not burden others with their understanding-ness" and "yay challenging 5-mans, for established groups that will communicate to overcome issues to resolve if they need to prosper!"
I was just questioning, how frequent is this "stuck at the dungeon" state? 1 of the couple of places where I do not assistance ArenaNet in their choices is this mixing of solo & group-mandatory content.
I was reminded of this difficulty today when I saw a screenshot posted by a member of my guild (and before you say "run the instance with the guild"... most of us have the same "GW2 dungeons are respectfully not for me/us" stance as I do) where his personal story was in the corner of the display and, certain enough, paused at the dungeon point... where it will likely stay for fantastic, just like mine. It makes me not even bother running the story on my other characters, and subsequently not even log on as much.
Am I alone in this challenge? No I'm not searching for help, trust me, you do not want to run a dungeon with me.
I don't have any bias against dungeons or grouping, be it pugs or guildies or 'friends'. What I do have challenge with is
The final episode is gated, Arah can not be entered unless it is uncontested.
Unless your an elite group of repeaters, it's going to take hours of time to complete.
We have all noticed the cut scenes by now anyway.
There is no appreciable reward to look forward to.
So unless you're going for a legendary, for loads of of us it's a case of way more of a time financial commitment than most of us are willing to make given the paltry rewards.
