Guild Wars 2

I’ve been doing the new dungeon for the last 3 and a half hours and in each group someone left meaning other people left and we couldn’t complete. I just wish when people sign up for a dungeon run, they know how long it takes…

I am with you on that. I think that once you get to the higher fractal levels it will be better as that will be an indication of the frame of mind of those in the group.

That and it is the release weekend so you have a lot of people curious and taking a casual look at it.

3 hrs is a fair bit on the long side even with not knowing the mechanics of the event.

It’s looking as if the FotM dungeon will shake out into two broad groups of players. People doing it casually, for fun, and those doing it as serious business. It’s likely that in order to get deep into it, you’ll have to form a dedicated group.

you can start out on a higher difficulty than 1 though right?

I sure hope that isn’t 3hrs for one set of fractals.

Yes, that’s about how long it takes while still learning them.

Or 30 – 45 mins max to learn them while 4 manning them, but whatever.

90 minutes is closer to what I have experienced and heard from others.

I just love when someone gets DC’ed and we can do nothing but go on down 1 person (generally isn’t a massive problem) or the entire party gets booted for some reason (not sure what causes this, updates?, leader leaving instance?).
Always seems to happen on last fractal or boss.
