Guild Wars 2

Since these two fractals weren’t presented in the trailer, should we assume that both of them are being replaced by the two new fractals? Or is it because the trailer couldn’t fit all dredges in the timely manner?

Would appreciate the answer from a dev.

I would miss the uncategorized fractal if it was gone. The trolling harpies, the lightning staircase, the tom fight and the final fight are all fun for me. The dredge fractal I would definitely NOT miss. It is the only part of doing fractals that I truly hate. That said, I’d give up any fractal to remove the dredge one, but that isn’t going to happen. Like Asia pointed out, the trailer is just old. Those fractals will still be there.

I see the big red anet logo on this thread but no dev post…

Did a dev post, revealing something they shouldn’t have, then delete it?

Yeah… it’s weird… linking to a red post wouldn’t make the topic have the dev replied post right? Although based on the link, it seems the trailer was created a year ago… meaning it might just not have taken into account those two fractals… I want to be hopeful, and hope they adjusted those tedious fractals… but I’m not sure.

There’s no reason for them to remove Fractals, so why would they? Also, they’re technically adding adding 5 new fractals, not 2. So it wouldn’t make sense to remove 2 fractals (especially when one of them isn’t a hated one) in this case.

Three New Fractals

In addition to illuminating the strange circumstances of the Thaumanova Reactor meltdown, you can experience two more historical events thanks to further Fractals research. Relive the daring raids on the Molten Alliance facilities with the Molten Furnace Fractal! Infiltrate the Aetherblade’s old base of villainy with the treacherous Aetherblade Fractal!

Two New Boss Fractals!

The Jade Maw of the Solid Ocean Fractal is no longer the only challenge awaiting you when you make it to the end of each set of three fractals! Special boss encounters with the Aetherblade captain Mai Trin and the two Molten Alliance champions from the Molten Facility have been added to the rotation.

3 standard fractals, and 2 new fractals that’ll randomize with the Jade Maw (the Molten Berserker/Firestorm fight, and the Mai Trin fight).

There was no reason to remove TA F/U but look what happened there

The trailer so was created really long time ago. Maybe this is the reason.

So the answer is they couldn’t fit all dredges in the timely manner.

Its Anet some times logic does not exist in there way of thinking. I would say its completely in the realm of possibility’s they remove them or most likely buff them.

Maybe they’re fixing Dredge so the cage spins, the Bombs have 5 second timers and the Ice Ele at the end doesn’t AoE Agony. Instead, every 5 seconds he drops spinning cage bombs filled with Dredge mobs…

I’m surprised none of you got this but the video was essentially about a group doing 2 sets of fractals in a row.

First set: Underwater, Snowblind, Volcano (even level)

Second set: Swamp, Ascalon, Colossus, Maw (odd level)

Also lol for not rolling swamp for both runs.

Agreed! n00b video “swamp ready come in” :-D
