better run nothing, since the hammer bug not only still wasn’t fixed, it now can’t be solved by mass suicide…even if you all kill yourselves, the hammer in clifffside still won’t spawn, i mean it spawns, when you’re all dead, but as soon as you all rezz, the hammer disappears…so don’t do it till it’s fixed…

Are you Shpongled?

The hammer issues is the least of the issues that afflict Fractals currently. Namely, rewards:time:difficulty.

What’s more beautiful than sitting in a 50s frac, getting cliffside as third fractal, getting close to the arm seals, falling down and having the hammer despawn, forcing you to start over without rewards at all? Bonus points if you had a few wipes before or were just slow.

I wouldn’t make this a general statement, as this might be the main issues for you, but the hammer bug can be rather unpleasant for non-organised groups.
Besides that, I fully agree. As I am trying to go casual on this game, I want to specifically point out that – at least for me – the time issue causes some constraints if you pug fractals. Not that I expect any changes though.

50 is better. It does not have a mistlock instability that makes the run take longer, it has better drop rates. There is no reason to run anything besides 30 40 50 if you have the AR.

Define better drop rates? last time I ran a 49 there wasn’t a single rare drop, and the final bonus chest had nothing in it, its got so bad, that my normal fotm party doesn’t do it anymore at all, its quicker to go cut down some tree’s or an iron run which takes 1/3 the time and can produce more rewards.

In some cases the constant agony ticks reducing your healing skills can break a group. Especially during the Mai Trin cannon phase for example. I know the drill “just time your heals shortly after the agony ticks” but that is sometimes easier said than done.
And a few wipes on 50 due to something like that will quickly negate the time gained compared to the 49 instability.

If you happen to stumble across any typos,
you may keep them to rear new and interesting variants in your basement.
