Guild Wars 2

As far as I know the fractal of the mists dungeon consists of the past of the world of Tyria.
It contains events like the storm on Ascalon and locations such as the Jade See. Events and places that shaped the world.
And I think that the current Living Story is such an event.

The dungeon designed for it is rather short, about as long as the normal Dredge fractal, and could be adjusted to become a fractal of the mists.
I’ve been running this dungeon about 20 times by now and I simply love it. The atmosphere and the encounters are highly interesting and fun to play through.

I bet a lot of work was put into this part of the game that we’ll only experience for a brief time and I don’t think it deserves to be thrown out.

I don’t care if the exclusive loot gets removed or we loose the ore veins in the drill passage but the dungeon itself should remain intact, even if we can only see it as part of Kryta’s past, as a fractal of the mists.

actually i have been thinking about this for a while now, they could Use Fractals as a sort of (sorry for the WoW reference ) Caverns of time, you know they could have the instances they have done in the living story in there, even go as far as having some stuff from Gw1, like a fractal that your group and Rurik goes into AC trying to stop the char from invading only to realize it was a trap like GW1, stuff that can show a bit of lore from the old game

Brilliant idea. You earn +1 internetz

Being a new player that missed the living story to now, I’d like to see the entire arc return in some fashion.

Oh my goodness, this is actually a fantastic idea! This would be amazing.

Considering all other suggestions, this is one of the more feasible.

However we run the risk of inciting all future living story stuff as fractal content. Id rather see developers picking content (either dungeon or generic instance based) that is critically acclaimed with good reception from the player base and turning that into fractals in the future, have that as an after thought to the living story stuff, rather than designing the living story around the mentality that we need more fractal content.

This could also invoke the living story stuff to be more epic and rememborable… Imagine a cutscene/instance included being SO good, the player base demands the content to be a fractal aswell. Its a win-win for the developers and players.

Would Love to see this added as a Fractal Instance along with the Ancient Karka being added as an instance (nerfed down a bit for 5 ppl of course)

Yeah this is a brilliant idea Fractals are completely perfect for storing past content that would otherwise disappear forever…

It will add a lot of variety to Fractals as well over time…

I believe some of the developers have already noted this idea and are ‘considering it’, anyone who reads this topic +1 it!

I agree, fractals need some new instances. The living story dungeon is really fun to play and would make a great addition.
