Guild Wars 2

I have gone through 4 fractals already on one of my characters and have been unable to level up in difficulty because the groups have disbanded or been unable to conquer the fractal (dredge fractal particularly), or I have disconnected from the server. I would like it to be tracked as any 3 fractals at any time, not just 3 consecutive fractals. On top of that, often times I am in the middle of a fractal and cannot complete or move onto the next due to time. If this were changed, that would be amazing and would open up more possibilities to me and those who have families and work like myself.

Thanks!

First off I am not downing you at all BUT

I have gone through 4 fractals already on one of my characters and have been unable to level up in difficulty because the groups have disbanded or been unable to conquer the fractal (dredge fractal particularly)

The disbanding thing sucks I understand but that is one of the things I love about the fractals is that it is not a faceroll like the dredge event takes coordination ( which I have always done in pugs took a while but have completed it non the less)

or I have disconnected from the server.

They are fixing this issue allowing you to come back in.

On top of that, often times I am in the middle of a fractal and cannot complete or move onto the next due to time.

I always allow 40 minutes for Exp dungeons and at least 2 hours for fractals in pugs and 1 hour for guild or group runs I am familiar with. If you were to do the same you will find your self not having a time issue.

In closing I think allowing players to just accumulate fractals runs broken up will make the fractal runs easier and I am not in support of that. As fractals are not necessary for anyone to run. The gear you receive from fractals or will be receiving will not make or break a group in anything outside of fractals. So where I agree with some things you have said others I do not and in whole I can not support this idea. Just note that Arena net is fixing the DC issue though.

This would probably make it too easy, especially at higher levels. You could simply re-enter FotM until you end up with an easy and short fractal (Like the aquatic or swamp fractal), and after finishing repeat the process to get into another easy to do fractal. The harder fractals are a challenge, and not something to be skipped. Plan and communicate with your team, preferably before starting at all (Because if they don’t speak English/don’t talk at all/are too incompetent to comprehend, you can kick them or leave the party, and save yourself a lot of trouble).

As for not having enough time, I’d at least make 2 hours free for a full FotM run. If you don’t think you have enough time to do a run, it is better to not go at all. This will save time for both yourself and your team. Leaving halfway a Fractals run leaves your team hanging as they might not be able to complete the run with the 4 of them.
