I don't suffer from this bug myself however I'm a friend of Marzec's who has been waiting for any news or action against this bug to be cleared but seeing how things are going, I'm pretty amazed at the fact that a STORY BUG has been left for so long. It's pretty much game breaking in that it prevents progression to endgame which is where most the fun and main content is located. Being forced to leave a friend behind in that sense is not fun and really frustrating to just watch. :/
