Guild Wars 2

First I apologize for my bad English, it isn’t my native language.

I am a bit confused about a change they are implementing in the new Fractals change and I hope someone nice can clarify it for me.

In the post they talk about the 1 island = 1 fractal thing does it imply that Fractals are turning into a predetermined dungeon path.

Like for example at level 11 there is always going to the the Cliffside Fractal and when you finish the Archdiviner and freed the Colossus, you have done fractal 11 and go back to Dessa’s lab?

If that is the case, I really do not like this change. I can understand that people new to Fractals need to learn how they function. But I personally always liked this randomness. True it took me a while to master the fractals that popped up out of the mists but I enjoyed every minute of it.

I still clearly remember doing a Fractal run on level 30 and for the first time entering the Thaumanova Reactor Fractal and not knowing what do do there. I also was shocked to see Scarlet Briar there.

I am afraid people will keep running a level of Fractals to just get those daily rewards because it is an easy and fast. As said in the post they are going to separate the daily rewards in 3 distinct difficulty changes : 1–20, 21–50, and 51 and above.

Another issue for me is that some people will piggyback ride on higher difficulty level Fractals and completely skip that level because others already surpassed them, just to increase their own personal level.

I like that Fractals are getting some love and the changes sound awesome. New weapons skins, being able to buy the old ones, level cap raised to 100, new instabilities and a Legendary Back piece. Cannot wait to do them or get them all.

But I would like so clarification on this matter if possible.

Thanks for making the game more awesome Arenanet and see you all in Fractals of the Mists.

Yes, a certain scale will always be the same island, so scale 11 will be Cliffside, scale 20 will be Swamp, scale 25 will be Thaumanova etc.
