Guild Wars 2

MO posted a info about things, which we cannot expect in the next patch. He wrote that we cannot expect new legendary armor and a balance. He didn’t say that we won’t see Raid and he didn’t say, that in the next patch won’t be a new fractal!

I am sure, that he would say this.

I really want a new fractal and next adventures with Arkk. That would be awesome, if Anet would give us a new fractal with new threads.

EDIT: We won’t get a new fractal with the Episode 4.

even the name of the new raid is out. what are you on about? maybe read? :S

Not sure we will get a new factal at least until ep 5 id like somthing completely new assets all so we can explore and feel like we are in an alien place so if that requires time im ok with them taking their time. Im game tho a cheeky cm added xD i want more of the harbinger.

We will get more fractals – this Arkk story is far from finished. I would be shocked if we got it next week. It is too soon after the last fractal and they;ve had plenty of other stuff to work on I expect.

Maybe next episode or after (assuming there is a 6)

I don’t know when we’ll see the next fractal, but I think it’s definitely something they should put some work into. Fractals seem fun, fairly rewarding, and they offer something for players at a range of skill levels.

So now not saying anything is evidence of suggestion?
They also didn’t mention we would or wouldn’t get free legendaries mailed so I’ll be keeping a close eye on my mailbox

hooray new fractal confirmed soon™

Benjamin Arnold.3457:

There is not a new fractal coming so soon I am afraid! We are working on the new fractal but still have a lot of work to do. It will ship when it is ready

what about the new kind of challenge mode? the 100 cm was loved by the majority of the playerbase you need to make more of these ^^

that was a given tho its not like nightmare was the last one they would ever make :/

Please consider adding a CM like 100 CM to this new fractal, its the best 5 man content in the game by far.

Not a surprise really and if a wait means more high quality fractals, then that’s a good thing. Nightmare was probably the best “new” fractal since the fractals launched and Chaos has now really grown on me.

Nightmare 100 CM works because it’s a boss fractal. So I hope rather than just slapping such a thing onto this new fractal, which may or may not be a boss fractal (I hope they keep a good amount of both!), they should add such to Mai Trin, Molten Duo, Swampland, and Solid Ocean fractals.

I bet they could make a good, fun challenging mote for non-boss fractals but I’m not sure folks would enjoy, for example, Chaos Isle challenge mote as much as they’ve enjoyed Nightmare challenge mote.

We’ll see.

Chaos is just as nightmare. You see chaos is Boss VG ( as people just run pass the platform), run in the snow mechanic, Boss Platform.
Nightmare is boss 1. Bullet hell mechanic, Boss 2. Boss 3.
Snowblind is “Mechanic of the fire, boss 1 , boss 2”.
So the bosses fractals are not differente from the others. The ones that are really different is the older ones that need a rework, like uncategorized.

Its more of jumping puzzle, boss, puzzle stair, boss, jumping puzzle, boss.
If they removed all the annoying jumping puzzle with harpy that its just annoying nobody fail at it, it would be more in line with the others fractal.

Speak english pls. Loterally took me 5-10min to dissect ur response to figure out wat the hell u were even talking about. Originally the only thing i understand was that bit about nightmare fractal. I dunno wat it is with playerbase but today i had a disturbing grp for xera where half of them couldnt speak english or else spoke disjointed english that no one else in grp could make hesds or tails of. The way u are wording that is almost as bad

I dont rly have a problem with boss fractal tbh. Prpvlem tho is that most of them are way too forgiving for pugs. Blooomhunger fight – kite and res, same brainless tactic, same 1-2 ppl dying all the time. Snowblind only has 1 real boss. The one at start i wouldnt rly comsider a boss, just like u wouldnt rly consider the boss at the very start of urban battleground fractal a boss. Theyre both a joke since even vet mobs hit harder than both of them. The one in snowblind doednt rly fight back. Its literally like fighting an ice wall.

Uncatorigized tho.. never was one of ny faves. Its too much a snoozefest to be taken seriously. Only really annoying pts about it is jumping platforms with random instabilities at their most terrifying – this where tentacle and flux bombs really shine.

Both guys were using proper english so everybody can understand it easily – even as a non-native speaker like me.
Besides that your written stuff is horrible – every single time. Do you want objective evidences? Here they are:

- ur
- dunno
- grp
- hesds
- Prpvlem
- tho
- ppl

- comsider
- Theyre

I suggest you look at yourself first before critizising others about their wording.

I was typing on mobile and was trying not to spend as much time worrying about spelling (autocorrect wasn’t being helpful either) but the point is that you can easily infer what I was talking about even with my plethora of misspellings.

@Vinceman you wanna be that harsh about grammar (which was not even my main point of contention) then perhaps u should look up how to spell ur words as well.

Specific problems I had with understanding it was ‘chaos is boss VG’ (what?) and wordings like ‘pass the platforms’ and ‘nightmare is boss 1 (end of sentence)’.

Each of us understand wordings differently. If you say that it took u 5min more to digest something u were reading, there’s no cause to laugh at or ridicule that person. My point was that his syntax was all over the place, disregarding grammar of course. It was hard for me to understand it. Disregarding grammar for shorthand and ‘pidgin’ as it may well be, my syntax (and sentence construction) was just fine.

Sorry, but you are wrong. Your text is harder to read than the one you were critizising. Deal with it!

No dude. If you want to criticize someone you have to be at least almost perfect in what you are criticizing or nobody will take you seriously.

Stop sidestepping. Nobody had problems with the texts you mentioned. It definitely was your thing to not understand. Next try take your time, read it twice and understand before you start with your criticism.

Again, difference of opinions here. You can’t honestly claim that ‘nobody’ had problems with the wording of his post, as u don’t speak for everyone. Quite a few people might have had problems with understanding his post merely from a cursory glance, which even i had to re-read some phrases multiple times before I understood what they were conveying apart from their face value. Even now I still don’t understand what he meant when he said ‘chaos is boss VG’ (can u clarify, please?)

And i was not sidestepping but merely addressing the issue bluntly. My problem was with syntax not misspellings as u pointed out differently. No one really cares about grammar on the internet, as acronyms abound. That you would accuse me of looking askance at his grammar is something I find offensive, as that was never my main intent. However u are free to have ur own opinions and misgivings as i have mine.

nagr.1593:

You were the only one not understanding, so it is your thing, nothing else.

‘chaos is boss VG’ (can u clarify, please?)

1st boss of Chaos

1 vote for against and 3 vote for (though I would think at least one of them of arguing for sake of arguing) is still liek 30% point of contention. If u wana discount my vote and say ‘nobody’ against then ok, but i can also discount all ur votes and say ‘nobody’ for either.

sound good.

I can’t see any “votes” here, sry.

Fact is, you were the only one complaining while the count of views is still increasing a lot.

If you dont worry about your own wording why should the person you are critisizing worry about sentence structure? Both are equally important. Its like i try to lecture my little sister on how to properly eat her spagetti while im eating mine with my hands…

mesmer just reduces the requirement to 1 person instead of 5, but very good point

Aye.. meaningful discussion is already hard enough to find

Well I was hoping we would get a new fractal with episode 5….(((

When it’s ready? So does it mean it will be with 2nd expansion?

Ok I am hoping that it’s gonna be soon, maybe with episode 6?

Arden.7480:

Ok I am hoping that it’s gonna be soon, maybe with episode 6?

Hopefully. Love fractals.

yea, it’s been a while since the last fractal, can we have a teaser for the next?
or is the fractal team fractalled?

Definitely more cms like 100cm would be great. 100cm was the best addition to fractals ever.

a fractal doesn’t even have to be at 100 to have a cm, since cm is an extra layer. You can insert a fractal at F5, F29, F54, F79, and F79CM would be as difficult as a F100cm

yeah thats answer the cries of ppl asking for harder content i really love this. And hopefully they could go back and make the old cm’s like the new ones :/

Any leaks about the new fractal?

Perhaps what we saw on the picture who announced that ep 6 is going to be on July 25
was a screenshot from Orr fractal. Once on Reddit I suggested Arah fractal who would take us to Arah before sinking.

We don’t know how it was looking then so maybe…

What a trailer. It’s literally nothing. Just some lights. I mean, you could’ve just write a Facebook post “new fractal”, if you’re not even gonna tease a single still image

Which they did and more.

Waiiitttt….

We don’t know for sure that the LW3E6 announcement picture or what that_shaman found relates to the LW part of the update, making an Orr fractal possible;
The picture shows a verdant version of Orr with lots of water, a suitable habitat for an aquatic race such as the quaggans;
The fractal announcement video had a bunch of flashing lights, such as you might see at some kind of extreme dance party;

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/Returning-Player-Fractals-Questions/first#post6545899

LEAK CONFIRMED!

So I guess this fractal tells the story of how Shashoo and the Pact Quaggans overthrew Balthazar and the rest in Orr to become the new gods of the humans? Thereby setting up the plot for the PoF expansion of course. Yes, it must be this. This theory is clearly foolproof. XD

This fractal trailer kinda reminded me of Omadd’s machine
