Guild Wars 2

Regarding this information…:
“Fractals are now weighted according to their length and difficulty. Easier fractals will always show up earlier in the run, with more difficult ones coming later.”

I have this question for the devs: What is going to be the order of the fractals?

It is important, because a I fear that we always are going to face a Dredge fractal or a Grawl fractal in almost every single run…

In my opinion, the easiest ones, and that form part of the 1st fractal that we’ll face are:
-Water
-Swamp
-Ice
-Molten Alliance

as 2nd fractal one of these options:
-Collossus
-Harpies
-Ascalon
-Eatherblades

as 3rd fractal:
-Dredge
-Volcano
-Taumanova

Am I right? Or there is a different distribution in Anet quarters?

From what i understand, the Molten and Aether fractals will be boss fractals (4th in the queue, as alternative to Jade Maw). It is unknown how hard the Thaumanova one will be, but i’d not expect it to be easy (remember, the devs said that in their opinion any fractal should take 20-30 mins, so we really should expect it to be long).

Also, all we know so far is that the fractals will be ordered in a run according to difficulty (with the hardest being last). We don’t know how it might look – perhaps they will give us one easy, one medium, and one hard, but possibly all it could mean is that in the dredge, colossus, grawl set dredges will end up always last.

Volcanic is really fast and obviously faster than Cliffside. The tiers are divided by longevity, not difficulty.

From what I understand, both molten and eatherblades will be normal fractals, just removing their final boss, which will appear in the rotation along the tentacles boss.
I dont think that they throw the entire molten or eather dungeons as a final boss fight. It will be only the final boss and maybe some little path before (like tentacles is).

In other hand, I understood that each fractal will be part of one group : easy, medium, and difficult.
And in each run we will always encounter 1 easy, 1 medium and 1 difficult, in order to make the experience more balanced.
If I am right about it, i just would want to know which distribution has each fractal. Is it Collosus considered hard by Anet? is it Ice considered medium?
I know that they have been balanced and we dont know exactly how all will end so that is why I feel more in the shadows… I don’t know which will be the new easies or the news hards…
