The hardcore players are running out of things to do in PvE. The updates are coming out a little faster but there hasn’t been one update after Wintersday that I didn’t manage to complete entirely within a few hours. Don’t get me wrong, I did enjoy some of the updates, but there simply wasn’t enough content and none of the content was worth playing through repeatedly except maybe the molten dungeon. So what to do? What can be added into the game that will stay in the game for good and will still give players a sense of adventure long after it’s put in?
More, and more interesting, fractals!
Here’s my ideas:
1. Just simply more. A bigger pool of fractals will make it less likely for you to get the same ones over and over and over.
2. Another boss fractal. We all know Jade Maw, and by now we all hate Jade Maw. Give us some big daily boss variety.
3. Fractal specific rewards. I’m not talking about the random Fractal weapons you get from the daily chest. I mean items that only have a chance drop off one specific boss or mini boss or whatever. If there’s an item you want and you happen to get the fractal it drops in, that gives a sense of excitement. It’s something to hope for.
4. Fractal achievement challenges(with a reward). This ones easy. There’s already a system in place for giving you a little chest in the corner for when you complete an achievement, just make optional challenges in fractals that deserve a reward.
I know these are kind of vague, but please give this some thought ANet.
