I heard somewhere that fractals progress is being reset. If your under 30 back to 0. If your over 30 back to 30.
That is somewhat incorrect.
If you are over lvl 30 you will get lowered to lvl 30 due to the new Instabilities.
If you are lower than lvl 30 nothing will happen.

Could you perhaps explain why reset to 30 instead of 31? Instabilities start at scale 31.
Most likely due to the fact that they want an even number.
A better question would be why the Instabilities doesn’t start at lvl 30.

It does matter, you have to redo scale 30 which is pure grind.
No, it really doesn’t…
If you care that much, wait until someone you know is running FoTM31 then jump in their group. Problem solved.
I won’t stop because I can’t stop.
It’s a medical condition, they say its terminal….

Or a better better question would be why the instabilities don’t start at lvl 50 or 80?
Or maybe the best questions is why would anybody decide to implement leaderboards and reset levels.

Thanks for the solution. But will it not be similar to how people got to level 80? I do not want to get banned for doing that.
No, they designed the levels so that even if you are under a certain FoTM level you can play with others that are higher and still progress. (i.e. if you are only FoTM20 and run FoTM40 with your friends, they will progress to FoTM41 reward level and you will progress to FoTM21). That is by design. I’m not sure what you are referring to with the level 80 thing. I believe that was people actually exploiting to get there and I’m not even sure anyone was banned anyway.

According to the forum/fotm police, those that were 50+ exploited by partying with somebody higher than them and starting an odd level 50+.
By the way, some people got to 50+ without exploiting.
You get nothing! You lose, good day sir!

Any reliable source for this reckless affirmation?
Frór (yes, with the accent!)

Reckless? Lol. How is this reckless.
I think it’s easier to assume that at least one person did it without exploiting. I think it’s harder to assume that every single person exploited.
It is much more “reckless” to assume every single person 50+ exploited.
I am not 50+, however I’m sure nike, strifey, wetho, haviz (among countless others) could prove to be a source.
Innocent until proven guilty right? right? right?

@JMar, I know… My post was merely a troll. I’m very well aware of people having levelled legit. Don’t worry! ;-) And even, I strongly believe that any person levelling through odd-numbered fractals is legit.

´Because designing content that the vast majority of the playerbase will never be able see is stupid?

Well, the majority of players are currently not able to see the level 84 dredges in the underground facility as of today. So we lose that unique content and challenge for some 81-82 mobs?

Because erasing progress and content that the minority enjoyed because it was challenging to appease the majority is stupid?
Like I’ve said 1000 times, that majority being catered to will do it for two weeks then participate in the next LS content, so the anet team can go back to ignoring fotm for a year.

I’m still waiting to know how can i beat level 50 and any odd one after that, since i get instakilled if i try doing that now. Strangely, no one replies when i ask that. Even in the other thread, it got ignored.
Just because you do not know how to do it, does not mean that others cheated.

Haha, my bad. With how honestly some people say the crazy stuff they say in these forums, it’s hard to pick up on the sarcasm sometimes =)

I did… in this very topic. Just look a bit above.

Dunno, but neither this is an answer. And no one wants to answer, it would seem.
I’m not going to cover strategies, because I really don’t want to get into a conversation about what is and isn’t an exploit.
When fotm first came out, it was possible to go 50+. People did. Anet changed the agony attack, so now people can open an odd level 50+ and play with people who are under that level.
So to answer your question, party with somebody that is above 50 and ask them to pick an odd level. Dodge agony attacks.
You get nothing! You lose, good day sir!
You didn’t answer my question at all, actually – i never asked how to progress over level 50, just how to beat that specific level in the current fractals. But well, no problem, and we’re also OT, so i will end here.
?

beat level 50 and any odd one after that
You get nothing! You lose, good day sir!
Well, you beat 50 by playing 51. This is a perfectly correct answer to your question.
If you want to know how to beat the Maw at level 50, then you can’t, as you can’t use rez orbs there anymore I believe.

Even if all of that is true, the number of hours that the new contents will get played in that two weeks will be several orders of magnitude bigger than the number of hours that would be played at the current high-levels, ever, if no change was being made.
Assuming this baseless assumption is actually true, this still shows nothing. If people liked fractals they would play it. Instabilities will probably only make it more challenging. They are hurting the people who enjoy it, to please those that don’t who will just leave two weeks after.
Did anybody play the gauntlet for fun? How many people did that to challenge themselves? very few as far as I know. Mainly just farmed deadeye.
You get nothing! You lose, good day sir!
And you replied “by doing even ones”. Nice twisting, but not the thing i asked for.

Mh, sorry, but i effectively inverted odd and even. English isn’t my first language, unfortunately, but i admit this may have caused some confusion.
Albeit, someone understood what i was asking anyway, despite the confusion.
Sorry again.
Apology accepted. I thought you were just being difficult to mess with me =).
