Guild Wars 2

Just wondering if there are diminishing returns for the Fractals dungeon? Both in terms of loot drops and tokens. Or can you just one level over and over and expect the same results (assuming you can find a party member at that given level).

Ah great, thank you for the reply. Asking cause have a few friends who have not done fractals and we’re planning a run. Now I know what to expect.

DR not effecting fractals….huh…what about better loot drop scaling at higher tier fractals? I seem to be getting the same drops at 48 as I would at the lower levels.

DR should not effect fractals.

Affect*. You’re welcome

Fractals not having DR is pretty nice. My static team and I use fractals between our dungeon runs to wait out dungeon DR and to satisfy our craving for opening chests. I really hope DR never hits fractals or at least receive one that is shared with other dungeons.

As a representative of a company, I should care care to use proper affect and effect. It’s kind of like messing up with you’re and your…

double care!

He cares a lot, clearly.

No DR in Fractals is pretty awesome. I wonder how the loot table works for higher levels. Does a player just inherit a specific amount of magic find when they enter at a certain level?

Interesting that the most farmed part of the game wouldn’t be affected by diminishing returns.

The use of “should” in the response is the most interesting part.

Tell that to a fellow guildie that has done over 150 level 10 and better runs of fractals and still has not gotten one ring.

RNG does not affect that reward, and rings drop at higher rates the further you progress into fractals.

RNG does not mean what one of us thinks it does.

Insert InigoMontoya.jpg here.

If something is not a guaranteed drop it is RNG. You may know for a fact that Rank 10 ALWAYS has an X% chance of dropping a ring while Rank 12 ALWAYS has y% but since the rate of drop is not 100% in either case it’s determined by RNG.

Think he meant DR guys.

Well you’re in really bad shape with the RNG comment then.

We all know the intent behind your words. That’s what matters.

I have a guildy who has completed the 500/500 fractal runs and has only gotten one ring ever.

Hard to believe unless he only does fractal lvls without dailies.

Real Question is does it affect in any way chests or mob drops? cause I can tell you it DEFINATLY feels like it, I did 250 ( /3) fractals in one week my first time entering, to get to 30, the loot got progressivly worse further up i got, at such a steady pace that it did not feel like rng, infact my 5 last runs before giving up on fractals, gave me like 2 rares total.. after a weeks break or so i went back now and got reasonable loot.

Im not sitting on the metrics so obviously I can’t say wether DR is for a fact in effect, but the FACT is it FEELS like its in effect, which means it dosnt mean anything if it is or not.. When the rng gets so bad that you do not feel rewarded for runs there is a big loot problem, Rng or Dr which ever it is, it is a massive issue..

There simply is not enough in fractals to justify not having competetive loot.

Infact after doing fractals up to 30, I went to arah for my first time, and p4 felt like a cakewalk in comparrison.. and obviously the loot + silver was FAR superior.

Only thing that made it even somewhat difficult was my teams unwillingnes to listen to common sense for dwayna.

My point is the difficulty of the high level fractals should warrant considerably better loot then it does presently, the fact that a majority of the exos you get once in a blue moon are account bound just makes the mather that much worse…

and Male its completly possible, Im up to about 500 aswell, and I’ve gotten 3-4 total from loot, and 1 skin.

I have to agree that it definitely feels like there is some kind of character-bound, long-time DR in the entire game: loot from world bosses, jumping puzzles, fractals … everything seems to get worse after a time and “resets” after a few days.
