Guild Wars 2

So, ever since the Fractured patch, I’ve been enjoying the Fractals more, mostly due to the variation and challenge that some of the Mistlock Instabilities bring to the table. As I am the most fanatic fractaler of my guild, I always had the highest personal level, and through that, I’ve gotten through each and every Instability.

However, I see an annoying trend occuring: People are only running Fractals 36 and 49, the easiest levels out there. I can’t blame them, it is after all the path of least resistance, but it simply irks me that all those 18 other instabilities just get looked over. What’s worse, people use these levels to skip their personal reward level up to 50, and they miss out on funny instabilities like the Mistwalker on 31, or the challenging instabilities on 33, 39 or 43.

Now I was thinking, this is a waste of design, how could they solve this? And then I thought: Why not reward people for doing all the different instabilities, by adding an Achievement group for them? Even better, put a meta in there that, when having completed all the instabilities, rewards you with something very much sought after in Fractals: A Fractals Weapon Box! This would certainly motivate people to run all the different levels and it’d let them see how diverse Fractals can be with these instabilities!

What do you guys think?

I think that’s a great idea.

I would also add that I envision the future of fractals to be something along the lines of 50 to 60 the instabilities become randomly generated. each run. and then from 60 to 70 say each shard. becomes random. It would offer a different challenge each time you go.

but that’s me and whishfull thinking.

I had originally been under the impression that the instabilities WOULD be randomly selected regardless of level, which would have made a lot more sense than the current system for reasons OP already mentioned.

No, because then people would reroll to get the easiest one. Though I think it could “appear” on the 2nd fractal (in the run of 4), making people either do the first one again or continue with that one.

But I think achievements and rewards for completing each Mistlock Instabilities would be a welcomed addition to the game.

I actually haven’t seen many parties looking for 36, I mostly see 38. And IIRC lv 50 was broken and wasn’t giving you a daily reward, so people do the 49.

If your personal level is 51, and you can’t progress, then you are going to pick the easiest ones. I have a group that I run with that will eventually do all the levels.

Some of the effects are overkill on top of increased foe HP, #`s, dmg, AI. I like the gradual increases of those listed items. To me some things like overextended kills off a build im too lazy to swap from.

There already is a reward: The Leaderboards. Oh, wait.
