Guild Wars 2

I love the new fractal rewards, but trying to work towards getting specifc fractal weapons is a real pain. They said they would add fractal weapon boxes but it didn’t happen with the patch. After 500+ fractal runs I have not received a single fractal dagger, let alone getting 2 of them to complete my look. On top of that, not a single fractal weapon has dropped for me since the patch, but 3 ascended weapon boxes. I feel like it’s a recurring trend with rewards in Guild Wars 2 where you never actually see the finish line to your goals, but rather just rely on RNG.

PLEASE ANet, we need fractal weapon boxes now.

I think frac weapons are not implemented into gw2 yet. Anyway i did about 500+runs, about 150+ runs of 28 till 40 before patch and i got only fractal warhorn ^^

fractal weapons are definitely in the game

I think he was being sarcastic. I’m in the same boat, ran fotm lvl30-50 at least 50 times since fractured hit and I got a grand total of 0 skin, 0 ascended box. Really disheartening

i doubt this is true but runs that end up 2 hours and close to broken armor has resulted higher chances for skin or a box. Many run sets ive done are 1.5 hours. Looking back, ones that took longer and had wipes: shards of mists, chance at fractal skin. Only handful happended like that and leaves me to wonder if thats coincidence of a run to take longer and higher chance on rewards. Just to ponder.

I got weapon box but cleric stats. Happy and sad at once lol.

Im reaching 400 maps done and wonder whats the odds on the fractal tonic. Will run a 41-50 daily and report back the day i get one….if it exists.

I’m talking about the fractal weapon BOXES (where you can choose the skin you want) that ANet said they would introduce to the game but ended up leaving it for fractal levels not available yet.

I´ve ran more than 900 fractals. I never recieved a fractal sword or a staff, which are weapons ive been looking for since me knowing about fractal skins.
Since the fractal update me and my friends have been doing the level 40 daily almost every day. Based on my experience i can agree on the fact that weapon boxes drop more often than fractal skins and the bloody awesome tonic never dropped..

Kinda starting to really dislike RNG. Why not make the fractal tonic sellable for like 100 pristine fractal relics. Why not make fractal skins craftable with the shards that are stacking up.. It can be so easy while the current system is so frustrating, except when youre lucky

Maybe they designed it that way to p i m p out player’s interest to grind out fractals. I understand that it is only a grind if we let it be but i hear world of warcraft is the design of run things forever in hopes of a super rare drop. Its such a tease and raises my blood pressure to invest large amounts of time to run fractals, 220g to armor up the last bit of AR i needed and simply have to spam for eternity till i get what i desire.

I like the fact of my current fractal skins are something players cannot buy but i feel bad for people that get ones they will not use as well as never getting the ones the are looking for. I only wanted the sword and axe but yet to see it.

Anet we are waiting on the fractal skin box

I got a fractal scepter a week ago. Looks great on my guardian.

Yeah that’s called false advertising, when you promise something but then you don’t make it available. They swept it under the rug, and edited the webpage.

It wasn’t until someone checked the API that they actually responded.

They did introduce them to the game, but are not currently obtainable. They might raise the current maximum level to a higher level now that ascended armors are out. Maybe they drop starting at 51 ? We don’t know… yet.

It’s a bit false advertising, sure, but they didn’t lie.

I’m still waiting for fractal leaderboards…..
