I’ve spent a lot of time in fractals over the last few months and there’s every possibility I’m imagining things, but it seems like every patch that comes out adds some new undocumented tweak to the dredge fractal (and I’m not talking about jump-able ledges). For example, I don’t remember there being patrols at the start for 30+. Is this new?

Its random. We got it on 32 most of the time a month ago and then afterwards they were gone. Sometimes you just get extra mobs. No idea why.

Did you by any chance get it first and then re-roll to get something like swamp? From my experience those extra mobs are only there if you do that and get dredge again as a second or third fractal.

That could be it. We always cycle for swamp for 20+.

I’m pretty sure the first one was water. It would be an odd condition to base that extra spawn off in any case – “you re-rolled swamp, so dredge is harder”? And why only dredge? Why not make all of them harder if you re-roll?

Hes saying if you re rolled at all. It causes a bug to produce extra mobs. Its possible. It fits the situations where ive experienced it most of the time.

Actually I’m told it was Swamp-Frost-Dredge so maybe there is something to that.

It doesnt matter what you start on. Its about whether people cycled threw fractals before starting. So whoever hosted cycled to find swamp or underwater but while they were searching they got dredge once or twice. So it caused the bug.

I don’t know why it is only present in the dredge fractal…Anet logic. But that’s how I have experienced it, I didn’t really care at first since it just meant killing a few extra mobs. But then when I did Frac 50+ for progression I noticed that they aren’t there when we got it on our first try (seemed to get it awefully often too).
We always re-rolled for swamp and usually get it as a third again, which seems to be the only scenario in which they appear in. However as Spoj has said I meant that this happens only if you re-roll after you get Dredge to any other fractal and then get it again later on.

Hmmm, ok. Thanks guys. The whole Dredge fractal basically feels like a big adversarial f you to players tbh.
