Mostly a question for devs: It has been 2 years since a new dungeon has been added to this game, and it appears no new dungeons will be added for HoT (not including the raid) just changes to fractals, am I right in assuming that ArenaNet no longer intends to support dungeon style play?

They aren’t going to directly say they won’t make another dungeon again.

Here is the closest they’ve come to saying it:

MMORPG: What about traditional group dungeons? Are you pretty much done with those for now? Leaving them as part of the leveling experience? Or will group dungeons be making a return?

Colin: We’re treating Fractals of the Mists as our focus on end-game five-player dungeon content. And all additions we make to make five player dungeon content more fun will expand on Fractals. And then raids will be the next level of that.

MMORPG: Was it that you noticed people were playing the fractals a lot more than they were the traditional dungeons, so you turned your focus on the fractals? Using metrics, or…?

Colin: All of the above? When you hear dungeons in GW2, it means something very different than Fractals. Fractals were sort of the evolution of our dungeon system. We are making them more approachable. We feel like Raids mean something else too, something even harder than Fractals. So when we needed to take a look and see what kind of content we could focus on as being the most challenging yet rewarding, it became clear that it was all about fractals and raids.

If they decide to “stop working on an area of the game”, they will “let us know”.

Grab some cocoa and skim the red posts. Enjoy.

I guess those words don’t mean what I thought they meant, but yes, dungeons are dead, and have been for a while.
