Who designs this?
1. When the wind blows, why do you need to walk in? Just wait till it doesn’t blow anymore
2. It’s called strategy/teamplay. Get one of those plants and swim as a team. the flesh-eating fishes won’t attack you if you have the light of the plant
3. All fractals have unique mechanics. You only need to know what they are and adapt to the situation.
It’s not meant to be a “Enemy – Kill – Run – Enemy – Kill – Run – Boss – Kill – Chest” Game.
There is way more than just going from one enemy to another. Fractals (and most other dungeons) are based on different mechanics you need to understand. And if you do it is lots of fun.
For me it’s even fun to figure it out by myself.
You might want to edit your post and alter the tone or it’ll just get deleted without the intended audience (the developers I assume) reading it.
I agree the length of a full fractal run is prohibitive for the kind of gamer you appear to be. I think fractals are more of a ‘hardcore’ type content (as in, people with time to run them, not necessarily amazing players).
I actually enjoy fractals a lot, I love the combination of jumping puzzles with boss strategies involved in them. The giant statue one is actually my favorite – the part you were failing at is where the little statutes blow wind in a pattern, just have to watch for that and you can get through it no problem.
I remember their comment being identical to the one EA/Bioware used as a mantra when SWTOR launched with no Group Finder: It builds community!
No, I don’t get it either. It’s like those Devs, and ours here, are stuck in the previous MMO industry, when you had a more niche, loyal player base that actually interacted and formed ties. MMOs also took more time but, again, different era and different player base demographics. I play this, DCUO, and WoW (though I am on a break at the moment), and the average player would like to get in, make a run or whatever, and log out to go to bed for work the next day. Even in a guild, one cannot guarantee a specific instance run at a specific time. That is where a LFG also comes in handy.
