Ok, so there’s 2 things that bother me on the new fractal release info:
1) Static Schedule?
What does that mean? It sounds like there will be a fractal available at specific times like World bosses? Surely you don’t think that’s a good idea.
Is it a list like choosing paths on dungeons? Sounds better, but really takes away a bit of the flavor of fractals.

2) What happens to the “boss fractals”?
Sure Mai trin and the Twin bosses from molten alliance can simply be added to their original dungeons (here’s hoping, Molten Facility was awesome, and sux to only play a part of it- the end part was particularly great – as in after the bosses).
But the Jade Wurm? Is it big enough for its own fractal?

3)Will there be any incentives to keep people playing instead of doing 1 fractal and dropping of?
I mean one of the unique things about fractals was the randomness and the “play three in one” style of game, i mean people still could drop at the end of each fractal. But playing 3 in a row (4 if you count the boss) was what made it worth while. Will there be any incentives or extra rewards for playing continuously?

  1. This one has me a bit confused too. If we select our one fractal each time, wouldn’t that be abused and result in a bunch of “lvl 100 swamp” being in LFG – and nearly nothing else?
  2. The Jade Maw fractal is actually bigger than the other two bosses – it’s just easier. But it’s no easier than swamp.
  3. Ooo, what if for every additional fractal you personally do you get a better reward/better rng chance – but it’s personal reward based so if you drop out of the dungeon (such as to join a new group or to even simply repair armor) it resets? Could prove interesting, and allows those who only want one fractal to join in then leave, while those who want multiple to go through and get better stuff each fractal (at the cost of waiting for new folks whenever someone leaves).
Dear ANet writers,
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.

I was comparing the Jade Sea Fractal with the “normal” fractals. Like if you do that one its smaller than most others. Even swamp, i mean, you just skip everything till boss, and then the boss itself is not that hard. In swamp if you get a couple of more kitten y players you can be stuck on the whisps thing for a LONG time.
