The new raid portal in the aerodrome made me think of our 5-man group content. Personally, I prefer smaller groups as they’re easier to organize.

What do you think, how often will we see a new fractal being added in the future? Every 6 months? Every year?

Another thing to think about: someone on reddit suggested a 5-man mode for raids. I don’t know what it would look like but it definitely sounds interesting!

I think they said it takes 3-4 months to make a fractal, so I think 2 a year sounds plausible. I think another is due soon, since isn’t Chaos part of an ongoing side story involving fractals?

I very, very much doubt we will see a 5-man mode for raids. I think raids are time consuming enough to develop without the extra factor of re-scaling for a new mode.

To the raids: they were already talking a little about it in April (AMA):
“We are actively discussing an alternative mode for raids (easy / hard), but we have not finished our investigations or finalized any decisions.” But we didn’t get an update on that yet.

I’m not sure what they said about fractals though, how long it would take, etc.

Yeah I had read that. I’ll be surprised if it leads anywhere, although it will please a lot of people if it does
