Guild Wars 2

Logging on Guild Wars 2 and trying to find a group for Fractals from either your guild or others. Those willing to commit to spend at least an hour and a half to do this one dungeon, which has 4 different instances in even numbers and a variety of paths that differ in difficulty, all look forward to either obtaining a ring or better yet, a Fractal Weapon skin! So the feeling of anxiety of whether I or any of my other party members will get a skin is very high and very unnerving.

So basically I’m just complaining on how the Fractal Weapon give rate from the daily chests are horrible. I’m taking hours upon hours everyday to do Fractal Of The Mist levels 20-28 and 30-38 hoping that once completed, a weapon or a ring could be handed to me for my efforts of finishing this, should I say, difficult dungeon. This has happened for quite some time now (almost 2 months) and I must say, it’s getting quite absurd. It especially gets irritating when good ole Lava Bird shows up to ruin your life and make faces frown knowing that a guard cannot be found in your party. True Story.

Also, as you most may know, Ash Legion Kits have been nerfed. This raises the difficulty a tiny bit especially in the dredge path. How can we, the players, deserve such a change when we are only using the item AS described in the text. To change one single item just so it stops becoming an “exploit” is a horrible way to manage the changes of this wonderful, but very chaotic game. Just delete the darn item if you don’t want us using it, simple as that.

p.s. I know that there other players experiencing the same problem as I am and have gone even longer without compensation. I feel for you, brothers and sisters.

its still very usefull item, its basically an extra skill on a 50second recharge

Three months. Every day 3 hours.

But the best chance at a weapon right now would be 40+ since one person in my party tends to get a skin (that they probably can’t use). The problem with this is that you may get 5 rifles, but never get the skin you want. Not getting the skin you want was suppose to be fixed with tokens, but for some reason this is not the case if fractals and needs to be fixed.

The other problem is that 40+ will probably take two-three hours depending on map rolls and proficiency of the group. If you can run it with your guild, then that is what you should do.

I umfortunately do not have that luxury, and make do with PuGs.

I personally think there should be some sort of craft recipe that uses the fractals materials and tokens.

I agree, but I don’t think we’ll see that at anytime since all these patches that are supposed to enhance gameplay is merely downgrading it. I say this b/c I just found out that boss dragon events in PvE only limits one chest per character in your account. I’m not lying.

Though I am not one prone to complaining, I must give my 2 cents regarding these fractal skins.

Fractals are the only dungeon I do and I run them everyday. I started doing them with the sole objective of getting ascended items and fractal skins for my d/f necro. 600 fractals later, I have my ascended rings, a rifle, speargun, 2 axes and a shield.

I do daily 28/38/42 almost everyday and I have not seen a single fractal skin in over 5 weeks, I have over 60 shards and 80 pristine fractals, AND NO FRACTALS SKINS TO USE.

Although I understand why they don’t let us simply choose our fractal skins, since most people would almost at once choose GS/STAFF/DAGGERS, losing the “uniquness” and rarity of the items, I must say I’m pretty bumped out of being stuck with skins I can’t use.

First and foremost, raise the chance to get fractal skins, I have over 80 dailies done after lvl 20 and I have 6 skins to show for it, and most of them I got at the beggining since I have already told I have not gotten a fractal skin in over 5 weeks.

Secound, give us chance to throw our skins in the Mystic Forge and get another RANDOM skin, maybe make a recipe with 1 fractal skin, 4 shards, 3 pristine relics and 50 fractal relics.

I’m not even going to start the discussion regarding RNG rewards in fractals, as a very avid fotm player I just want a better chance to get the fractal skins I desire. Please listen and help us.

I feel you TC. I used to run dailys for the dagger skin but i gave up, not worth the time.

The problem is not the droprate of skins in general, they should be rare. The problem is that once you are lucky enough to get a skin drop, it could be one out of the 19 available. So you could be farming dailys for months and not get the skin you want.

They should implement a recipe at the mystic forge that requires:

1x random fractal skin
1x Gift of Ascension
30x Pristine Relics
250x Orichalcum XXX (for example Swordblade to craft the Swordskin)

99% of the game is RNG – there are 2 possibilities for this issue from Anet:

1st – they don’t know how to make a better way for people who play a lot to get more rare skins than the others who don’t play as much,so they think the one who plays more frequently will eventually get it after xxx dungeon runs – while someone who plays fractals once per day,cannot expect that…

2nd – they are forcing RNG since – the more you want that particular skin,the more time you play…the more money you might spend on gems,or something from BT …

I am running fractals , lvl 38+ every day,wanting that dagger skin (which i probably will never get) and after january (the 15th) – almost 2 months, it didn’t drop- heck,neither of fractal weapons dropped at the end for me…

It’s just keep getting worse and worse – probably I will play Titan from Blizzard when it gets released, since here – you don’t need skill you just need luck..
