FOTM Account Base progression, no character
I’m not sure why fractals is character-based, but I do know that it forces me to use my main there. I already don’t farm fractals much, so my fractal’s level isn’t very high. I wouldn’t dare to level up an alt there.
Fractals are different than dungeons, there’s a difficulty and reward scale…
Dungeons are same difficulty every time you do it.
People who worked through 40+ levels on multiple characters should have the exclusive benefit of being able to farm 48 fractal daily chests more than once a day to get better chances on fractal weapon skins.
Anyone can craft alts to level 80 and run 1 easy dungeon path for easy reward repeatedly, fractal levels is actual work. 1 fractal level = at least 1 hr commitment.
That said, fractals reward is absolute garbage atm and the fractal weapon RNG system is a joke. That’s probably the only reason why I gave up my fractal progression for my alts (I have 1 lvl 50 fractal, 1 lvl 30ish fractal, then stopped because running lvl 48 fractals multiple times a day is just not rewarding at all for the time it takes)

Just what you want, an undergeared player in a level 48 fractal because his main is geared and at that level too

Can already happen anyway. :/

Yeah but at least now, if you have someone that’s an OP warrior in a fractal and he wants to bring his engineer alt… he’s got to grind 48 levels with his engineer, so you’d assume that he’d at least be able to play that class semi-ok and have it semi-geared.

If a player has farmed 48 levels, chances are, they’ll know how to finish the content. What you describe is more common within average players than with hardcore farmers.
This could only means that fractal is about to become account base. Oh no my double daily chests.
The problem with fractals being character based is that I might have a need to run a fractal and i’m on an alt. Well I have to start at level 1 because this character hasn’t done a fractal before. Except no one wants to run a level 1 fractal, the minimum level they want to run is 10.

And who tell you im undergeared alt into +40 fractal?
My main is a ele and is a level 45 fractal. 45AR
the rest of my alts is around: 10-20 all whit 30AR
All my characters are full exotics and ascended except ears that i need recommendations and i burn it out in my main. Is just i dont want to work toward 40+ whit all my character just to enjoy different play styles. Sometimes i wanna enjoy my mesmer, or my necro and even my face rolling guardian in +40 but why i should bother when the drop is base at my current level?
People may be disagreed and other will agreed, this is the beautiful of freedom.

I can run level 48s on my lvl 1 fractal alts….you can run whatever you want you just won’t be rewarded the same amount of tokens and chances at fractal skins at the end of the fractals.
In fact that’s probably what I’m going to do when rewards get better for fractals, I’ll do only 48s on my alts to catch up in fractal levels because that’s where the best pugs are at, players know what to do.
+1 pls anet let it account progression

I’m not talking about you personally. I’m just saying that SOMEONE out there will take think it’s okay to take their engineer with 5 AR into level 40+ fotm because they have a warrior in there because they think, “oh I’m an awesome player, I can do it”.
Dungeon rewards was easily abused by the alts. Thus it is now changed.
Fractals is NOT easily abused by alts. Therefore no need to change.
Dungeon rewards was easily abused by the alts.
Uh, no. Two different characters running the same path deserve the same reward.
That is not abuse. That is fair. Or it was fair, until this patch when arenanet shafted anyone who cares about their alts.

Or you can, you know, run with 1 character then switch characters…
It’s not really about shafting alts…you can always play different dungeon paths on different alts…I do think the new reward system is lacking though. Atm it just looks like a crappy fix to CoF farms.

After a gazillion of infused rings, pristine and relics I could build all my alts whit some ascended stuff and after you hit lest say 45+ like me whit I one class, you start getting bored.
But you wanna enjoy the difficult of 30+ whit the rest of you alts and have the same reward chance, no to work toward 30+ over and over again.
The fact I have to run 1-40 whit lest say my 7 character is what I call grinding content.

I see your late by 6 months or longer i am not sure.
Main : Jski Imaginary ELE (Necromancer)

Again it’s really just rewards being really crappy right now, to the point the ONLY thing that really matters is Fractal Weapon skins (which iirc has a 17%, 27%, and 37% dropping from fractal 28, 38, and 48s). I get the same amount of rares and exotics (mostly account bound junk..) from low level fractals and 48s…
If the rewards were better suited to reflect your time commitment to re-level a character (kinda like leveling a new character you know?), I don’t think many people would mind the process of leveling a character back up as they will be rewarded in the process.

Yay, I stop playing since like march and come back and anet screwed the game up even more. Didn’t think that was possible.
Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?
