Guild Wars 2

Nearly every time I’ve ever tried it 1 or more of these things has happened.

- Someone (or everyone) gets kicked randomly by fractals

- Someone gets stuck in some wall and can’t get out or falls through the floor to their deaths (even worse when they don’t die

- The timing of which people get kicked is impeccable, 4 or 5 times I’ve been kicked (usually with the entire team) at the 3rd boss right before it dies

- Something happens that makes it so you can’t loot a chest or a boss corpse

- Even if you get on a map you don’t mind you can’t choose the variation that you actually prefer

- You try to fill in a certain event requirement (ex. grawl shaman, trying to save all prisoners) but something bugs, making you insta fail

Most of these are bug that need fixes but still not being able to even indirectly choose which frak you get play irks me. That could easily be fixed by giving all players 3 or 4 choices to pick their favorite fraks and whichever have the most votes get picked.

Sadly that isn’t the case. I refuse to do fractals now because of all the times I’ve had to fight through the dredge, then the tower, and charr fractals more than once, only to get kicked at the end by some annoying bug. So many things could have been done better and I hope that anet at least expands on what they’ve started.

You are either extremely overexaggerating or you’re the unluckiest person alive.

I have completed over 110 fractals and that stuff rarely happens.

“- Someone (or everyone) gets kicked randomly by fractals”

Has never happened to me or anyone I’ve run with.

“- Someone gets stuck in some wall and can’t get out or falls through the floor to their deaths (even worse when they don’t die”

Has never happened to me.

“- The timing of which people get kicked is impeccable, 4 or 5 times I’ve been kicked (usually with the entire team) at the 3rd boss right before it dies”

I’ve never seen anyone get randomly kicked. If you’re entire party is being booted out it’s more than likely your party lead was trolling you and left which made you all leave. If that happens report him.

“- Something happens that makes it so you can’t loot a chest or a boss corpse”

Has only happened to me once. Snowblind fractal the final boss died on the ledge to condition damage and we were unable to loot his corpse. One time in over 100 fractals.

“- Even if you get on a map you don’t mind you can’t choose the variation that you actually prefer”

That’s the point.

“- You try to fill in a certain event requirement (ex. grawl shaman, trying to save all prisoners) but something bugs, making you insta fail”

I’ve never had a bug cause me to insta fail. You do realize that if all the prisoners die then your party wipes? That’s not a bug, that’s intended, you’re supposed to save the prisoners.

I have had 2-3 times where something bugged causing me to insta-win a few times. Mainly on cliffside where at the final boss the seal would suddenly be destroyed and the chest would spawn, was pretty nice.

had many problem some bugs, but the most annoying thing is not being able to come back from d/c, either while waiting for ever forming a party or a the last minute, OP is exaggerating but all this problems are real and present for alot of us. Please fix this not being to finish a tier just because connection issues either mine or from another member is horrendous.

I have run 20 fractals and have been disconnected twice. Have also had two bad PUGs with undergeared glass-cannon-traited members who died all the time and whined a lot about how awful everyone else was.

Other than those isolated times, it’s been really fun. I ran a set yesterday and had a great time. I think the main things remaining are to fix the disconnect bug (urgent!) and change the randomness of droprates.

Wow, I’ve hardly seen any of those problems. I’m tier 26 and have done tons of below my tier fractals. I’ve seen a few minor bugs but the only bad ones I’ve seen are about 3 total disconnects and a bug on Cliffside where the hammer runner fell off a cliff and the hammer became stuck in midair preventing us from advancing.

Giving players the option to choose their fractals is a terrible idea. We’d end up running the same 3 fractals every single time.

The design of FotM do not want player to repair armor and go way point but fail to think of other side effect of the design.

FotM fail !

I had someone dc once, we finished it with 4 without problems, don’t know if it was the game or on his end. Otherwise most of what you said was drivel.

I’m pretty sure if we could choose fractals then every single time would be:

Snowblind
Ascalon
Underwater.
