I had a little time yesterday and today to try out the new fractals. I played a lot of fractals throughout the year, more when they first came out, and a then the odd few here and there lately. I had mostly just reading the forums about how hard they were or (insert raging opinion about flame kissed armor here) or just the general over-reaction to the content.

I have only done story mode and the aetherblade + aetherblade boss fractal. Story mode was kinda disappointing on the story part but I liked the fractal in general. I did not think the last boss was nearly as hard as the rest of my group did. Me and one other guy ended up just duo fighting it while our group members fell (which was pretty funny) but we were having a good time with it. Which I think I find most of the time the general feeling when doing dungeons to be pretty light hearted in the gw2 community.

The regular fractals were fun and I noticed they take a little longer than usual. I’m not sure how I feel about odd fractals having boss encounters. But in the end the rewards were great, even got a pristine fractal relic below 10.

All in all it’ll probably be great once the few tweaks and fixes are in. I actually enjoyed it for the most part. It’s by no means the best content patch EVARR but I’ll probably delve into fractals more often than I would have now.
