Guild Wars 2

Cheers from a daily player same as a daily fractal frequenter 38 and 48 (no use to do the uneven 50+ fractals since there is no reward associated with them). I will start saying that I do not mind some stealth changes but…

When will you Anet, change and/or think about that dredge fractal for lvl40+? I rather say, when will you think about the fun slider that is getting left on low in many content of GW2? Some fractals frequenters comments: want to see that fractal changed, destroyed, vanished, disappeared and the most funny comment from a guild friend: SUCK MY TOE Dredge Fractal!

Intriguing and why?

Cause it isn’t challenging, its bland, it got useless content and most of all it got the boring formula. Everyone knows what boredom does to games.

The last bosses mechanics are just ok but nothing will revive the moral of a team after spending zillions hours killing annoying waves of trash mobs just before them. What is the purpose of those mobs btw? Kill a champion, kite the veteran while “doing” the champion, and then TEH WAVE.

( I will start a moto: Teh Wave)

Gosh, can’t even type that without feeling some kind of disgust towards it.

Take note that we do not mind to be there for 1h + from the moment its something dynamic, fun, interesting.

Won’t express my opinion about the other fractals. Seems fair.

Dredge fractal needs serious balancing, this isn’t challenging or fun. It’s just dredgefully L-O-N-G. Especially after 40 those waves alone take like 15 mins + to kill, the same thing over and over again.

It’s a great place for farming if you need those mats to upgrade ascended items, other than that I agree, some of it is fun though, I do like the final boss in this place with the oil drop mechanic.

Totally agree – dredge fractal is WAY too long, and such a pain.

“Teh Wave” isn’t fun, killing so much trash – it’s just time consuming and kitten the repair bill.

We need about 20-30 min for this fractal… just dont use PVT and run full zerker with a good strategy
I think there is no problem, even at level 40+

It really isn’t that much of trouble, but if Anet would consider remove dredges’ invulnerable buff when they first spawn, it will most definitely make it faster.

That would take some talents. And I will leave it to you guys to ponder on how much talents Anet has now aday.

They give real loot. You should focus your attention on all those spawns on cliffside and grawl that give 0 but are required kills anyway.

I have uncontrollable mysterious spontaneous disconnects when that fractal pops up.

FotM at this moment is a kittening disaster.

Indeed could make the run a few minutes shorter since some mobs respawn faster than others leaving like that the group under less pressure.

To reply to some, its a good place to farm mats ( shards, bags…), but that is not the finality of the lvl 48+ right? Since you will have the same drop rate of the shards at 30 and bags at lvl1 ( correct me is I am wrong).

I like the challenge and some skins, hence why I am doing it.

After some runs you wont even see shards as a drop until they release some new recipes that can help to evacuate your dozens of shards.

Cheers,
