Guild Wars 2

Sorry for my bad english but I would like to know if we will be forced to complete the story mode in order to play REGULAR fractals!?! Like forever?

Cuz if this is the case, this is the most ridiculous thing I will have ever seen in a game. You can’t disable a bunch of content I had by forcing me to play a story mode so hard to do (* cuz all i get is new people not being able to do it, like me ).

I Have liked every single one release you did and I apreciate very much, but this frustrates me so much because all I want to do right now is play some fractals, NOT be stuck in a dungeon without being able to enjoy something I already had, REGULAR fractals. If this stays forever, ( the story mode completion requirement ) It will be the worst thing i’ve ever experienced in all guild wars 1 guild wars 2 history..

Id like an admin answer on this if possible, or could you just instead give us an option to skip story mode? I Can’t finish it and I dont have 10-15 hours to figure it out, I have already lost a couple hours on this. Thank you.

The story mode is one of the Fractals. So may as well get used to it.

If you can’t finish it or figure it out now, what would you do when it shows up during a regular run? If I was looking for a group to play Lv.30+ Fractals with, I certainly hope we all know what to do in each Fractal.

this story mode is a decent challenge, it’s not that bad come on.

And now it’s easy:

It is hard? You talk like it’s some really terrible thing.

At my 1st run, we figured it out in 20m.
I’ve done the story 3 times (to help guildies), and 1 time in exploration mode. It took me about 20m each. I actually want to run it more, to explore everything (to find the 3rd cooling rod =.=)

in my opinion, this is the most fun fractal so far. Especially the last boss.
Not to mention the shocking revealation about Dessa at the end.

tl;dr: use Dulfy’s guide

The story mode requirement goes away once you finish it, and I believe will be removed entirely after these two weeks.

If you’re trying to solo it, don’t. It’s the same as the fractal you’ll get in “regular” mode and as such requires a group.

If you’re in a group with somebody who has already completed story you can skip it by having them start the instance.

in order to figur the laser part… you have to randomly happen by the 1st switch hidden in the labyrinth…(luckily happened to me).

Being smart has nothing to do with it….

If you’re in a maze like room and can’t figure out what to do, explore it.

You can do the fire room instead of the turret room, in which case you do need to go in to the turret room but leave when you find the cooling rod.
