Squash the forum bug

“I want to keep running T4, everyone else can have higher difficulties starting T5+”
Why not just run T3 downwards instead, problem solved.
The difficulty is most definitely not out of control, they merely require you to understand your role and perform accordingly. I can see how the instabilities can be quite frightening for someone who encounters them for the first time(s), but you will understand them, realise how they work and play in a way to minimize their effect. This is part of the fractal experience and has always been. You should be glad we don’t have the old instabilities along with random fractals anymore, the combination of some fractals with certain instabilities was so ridiculous people simply skipped them.

Lastly, assuming that players who are good at this game have no life and “forget to breathe” is quite rude and gives me a rough idea of your attitude when actually inside T4 fractals, so I can fully understand why they’d be too challenging for you.

There is no need for T5 or T6. T4 fractals were too easy over a period of time that was too long. It was never intended to get the rewards so fast and easy. Some players and you were thinking that this was the way to go but quite the contrary it was a minus development or a mistake they reversed with the latest patch.

I was running fractals the last 2 weeks with the new instabilities, it’s only a matter of adaptation and if you play regularly you will get better again and have no problems at all. Also I agree, they are a little bit more difficult – had some downstates here and there than before – but overall no problem for a usual pug group.

On your point of “they keep changing them every time when we have fun” I disagree. We had years of stagnation in fractal development and only over the last year there were changes to an improvement. I don’t think we will see another changes to instabilities or anything like this soon, so all will calm down and you will adapt to the recent state.
Hopefully, and I believe this is in everyone’s mind running fractals regularly, the next step is to bring out more and new fractals and not just one recycled per year like they did with chaos. Should be their focus on the plan now because the basis of loot system, instabilities and adjustment of almost all of the older fractals is done.

Stajan.4581:

If they do not like the fact that we the players figure out ways that make them easier for us to succeed then get rid of them or add new ones do not change the old ones. Add a T5 or T6 go up to a T10 where things like full necro teams or what ever are required.

That reminds of This is Spinal Tap: the band’s equipment has volume controls that run from 0 to 11, instead of 0-10. When asked the reason by the interviewer, they responded

• Nigel: “You see, most blokes will be playing at 10. You’re on 10, all the way up, all the way up… Where can you go from there? Nowhere. What we do, is if we need that extra push over the cliff…Eleven. One louder.”
• Interviewer: “Why don’t you just make 10 louder and make 10 be the top number, and make that a little louder?”
• Nigel (after taking a moment to let this sink in): “These go to 11.”
