Guild Wars 2

any chances that ANet will do something about people continuing to enter and reenter fractals to choose what fractals they want?

I haven’t seen over half the fractals because pugs refuse to do them, and it sucks not seeing all of the games content.

Besides, with this fractal leaderboard coming up I think it may be more fair if everyone was forced to do random fractals all the time rather then the fractals they are most comfortable with.

The notes do say that as you start you’ll be in the faster, easier fractals. So it sounds like if you want harder ones, you have to play through a few. I can’t tell if that’s per session or per account, though.

So far Anet have tried to punish players by adding extra mobs into any repeated fractals, which is a stupid idea since it doesn’t stop the resets and it just annoying paying customers. If they haven’t come up with a better solution in this update then it won’t happen for a long time now.

At the moment we have the Jade Maw as an exit gateway that players always do last. My solution would have been to put a standard entry gateway fractal first and then random ones afterwards. People wouldn’t reset the random ones if they had to do the gateways again.

I hope that systems works because the group of people I play with will flat out refuse to try the Aetherblade fractal (which I figure will be a later one) unless the Frizz’ Lab portion of it has been updated. That encounter was so unappealing that not one of the people I play with had any interest in repeatedly trying to get through it. We had played other fractals and gotten through other difficult puzzles but we simply found Frizz’ lab to lack anything resembling fun.

Understandably that some of the fractals are too long, or even not fun, and that is possibly something ANet is working on revisiting. It just would be nice to even see it for myself to decide whether or not I like it.

But with the million post thread on people complaining about the fractal level reset, I doubt this issue is even going to get addressed.
