Hello everyone,

I just wanted to pop on here and clarify something very specific, and very important, about the “Heart of Thorns” storyline. The first chapter titled “Prologue: Rally to Maguuma”, which some of you have played a beta version of in our previous BWE releases, is set in a public multi-player tutorial style map, very similar to the way that new players start in a multi-player tutorial map. It is NOT a private story instance.
As such, the rules for story steps in public maps apply, namely that even if you are in a party with your friends together in this map, EACH party member must complete the story step individually in order to receive credit toward unlocking the second chapter “Torn from the Sky”.

In short: if you want to party up to get into the “Heart of Thorns” storyline and enter the first story instance “Torn from the Sky” together, PLEASE make sure all party members have completed the “Prologue: Rally to Maguuma” story chapter first.

The game WILL allow you to enter the “Torn from the Sky” instance even if you have not completed the prologue step, but you will NOT earn progress on “Torn from the Sky” until you’ve completed that step, which may result in party members needing to re-do the prologue and “Torn from the Sky” a second time to get full credit.

We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this might cause, but hopefully if you all think of the starting prologue experience in terms of the starting tutorial maps, it will be clear.

Thanks for reading, and I look forward to seeing you all playing through the “Heart of Thorns” storyline and giving us your feedback here. See you in game soon!

Résumé rapidement: les joueurs ont intérêt à faire le “Prologue: Rally to Maguuma” avant de continuer car le jeu ne les empêchera pas de faire la suite (avec d’autres joueurs ayant validé le prologue) mais cela ne validera pas le premier chapitre de HoT et les récompenses qui vont avec, obligeant à tout refaire.

Content de le savoir avant, merci pour le relai de l’information

Il est aussi important de savoir que l’instance fermée que l’on a eu en aperçu lors des BWE sera une instance ouverte comparable à celle de début de création de perso (avec du monde quoi)
