Guild Wars 2

Fractals probably won’t get any sort of change until they are directly affected by the BHB Casual Living Story content.

I have been waiting for ANET to unlock 50+ even levels again for a long time. I don´t think it ´s going to happen soon.

Been waiting for about 6 or 7 months for Anet to update/unlock higher level fractals. Currently i just don’t bother much with fractals till that mythical fractal update.

You’re mistaken if you believed 55 AR was supposed to open Fractals 50+ for you. What 55 AR was supposed to do was allow bad pugs to get past the 40’s so that when FOTM50 is opened up everyone will be able to start there together.

What made you think the difference between 2 million damage per tick and something survivable was 10 AR?…

The idea is you won’t be able to do them until you can get the resist to do them easily from what I understand.

No, it’s hard-locked and not by lack of AR. You would need something like 900+ AR to survive Maw above level 48.

They won’t be touching fractals until they release the reactor fractal which will probably be December

Jade Maw’s Agony hits for 1172% every second. Until that value is lowered, we obtain 950’ish AR, or a new exploit surfaces to bypass the mechanic, 50+ even levels are off-limits.

That would mean 11 months since the cap was put… That’s way too long.

Beside, the AR we now have trivialize the content. Before, you had to know how to dodge to do level 40-48. Now, with 55 AR, you can just take it and still survive. With 55 AR, agony hits, on level 48, for less than it did when we began at level 10…

Is that what Anet wants ? When they released fractals, I was hoping they would reward skill for progression, not force us to stack gear… The AR shouldn’t even be necessary, we can “easily” do higher levels fractals all the way to the roadblock that Maw is, as all other agonies can be dodged.

Fractals rewarded knowledge of safe spots and gimmicks to work around Jade Maw when they were first released. Anet also realized they could make money from Living Story and put a cap on Fractals and said forget about it.

By 2015 it should be open, just be patient!

They don’t care. They really don’t.
