Guild Wars 2

Remember what Valve said, players are good at identifying problems, but NOT good at providing solutions.

That statement is so general that it could be applied to any problem that ever existed to the point were it becomes meaningless.

In all my months of GW2, I’ve never been kicked from a dungeon before. Including FoTM.

If you’re having a hard time, feel free to PM me or various other forumers and we’ll be happy to go on a run with you.

im wondering lately (last 2 months), how long does it take to fix this? or does anet think this system is ok.

i stopped going with pugs altogether because of this. its guild group or no group.

You must be doing something wrong. I got 500+ fractals done, a lot of them with pugs from gw2lfg and never got kicked ever.
And I played upto lvl 33 with no agony res.

i am currently stuck at lv21, but have only been kicked once, because it was my fault. apparently, during the cliff side fractal, i was “doing too much damage for the hammer bearer” and they rage-quitted with whiny QQ’s.

as helpful as the OP seems to be, maybe take a hint and just be quiet. i usually ask stuff like, “are we using wheel or pull to door?”, and leave it at that if i get no response. it’s a bit selfish to not help others in your situation, so maybe with enough of a lack of hand-holding, maybe the troubled player will wise up and learn a bit, especially since it would benefit them on later levels.

i started off badly for sure – i underestimated the difficulty, but picked up and just kept doing the fractals. i still get downed/high death counts, but i can at least remember what usually happens (mob spawn, puzzle solution, etc) – just enough to get by and not look like a total n00b. maybe i am just lucky, but i try to learn from mistakes as quickly possible. i try to learn a dungeon in 3 tries, otherwise, forget it. with the certain rotation of certain fractals, it should just come naturally after several times.

Not every dungeon can be learned in 2 or 3 runs, take your time. Plenty mechanics people don’t pick up till much later. Dulfy wrote a really nice and PRACTICAL guide for fractals I still use as a reference when I run new people through.

The thing about fractals is that it’s much faster paced and requires more dodging than usual. When I take new players through, I fully expect them to trip over every rock and face-plant every fight because fractals are just a different type of dungeon designed as a heterodox to the way other dungeons are designed.

The OP getting kicked that many times is not normal at all. He’s not telling the whole story.
