Short Version: I’d like to be able to do fractals individually, with a reduced reward compared to how they work now.

Long Version: Fractals are a great addition to the dungeon experience, but I think it would be better if we could also be able to do them individually, specially considering the new ones that will be added in the second half of the year.

The way they work now, for those that don’t know, each fractal is a short dungeon, when you enter the fractals you have to do three of them selected randomly then a 4th that is a boss fight. Each fractal can be easy or hard, depending on whether your party knows or not how to do it.

I’ve talked to lots of people that have wanted to try the fractals but are intimidated for the fact that they don’t know how long it’ll take since the fractals chosen are random (mainly older people like me with less continous gaming time available), or how hard if they don’t know what to do in the first place.

The length of the individual fractals are perfect for those wanting to do some quick group content, but not so much if you add 3 of them + boss, which is why I’m making this suggestion. Maybe when you talk to Dessa she gives you a list of fractals she managed to stabilize, so you can run each independently with reduced rewards when compared to the full fractals (plus with the upcoming bonus for running different paths, so none of them ends up becoming the new CoF1), and the option to go to random ones where you go the way fractals work right now. Lorewise it might even be something like Dessa saying that she was able to stabilize a portal to specific fractals for a short time.

This would be great for those wanting to learn each individual fractal before heading off to the full fractal experience, or once the new fractals are added later the year, those wanting to try them out.

It’s a pile of Elonian protection magic, mixed with a little monk training,
wrapped up in some crazy ritualist hoo-ha from Cantha.
A real grab bag of ‘you can’t hurt me. They’re called Guardians.

They could at least allow us to select the first fractal – would save some people the constant re-rolling.

After doing this first one, groups could decide to leave.

So I think it would solve your problems as well…
