It’s really simple, I hate the randomness of the zone selection, fun fact, ever since I started doing fractals for 20 relics, I got about the same fractals nonstop (namely the colossus one, yuck, this should be a dungeon in on itself) I haven’t done the aquatic one nor the one where you have to carry the torch to keep yourself warm (the name escapes my mind).

How about a simple solution? Once you are done with a fractal, a pop up shows letting you choose a variety of fractals you can go to, people vote on them, and we proceed as normal, that way we aren’t so hardly subjected to RNG.

Thoughts?

the random nature of fractals, imo extends their life dramatically by offering more variety, and unexpected outcomes. While i annoyed when it seems like get certain ones more often than others ( which seems to be the case) the trade off would be bad. People running the same easy fractals over and over, no surprises, and negation of most of the content within fractals

The randomness is one of the things I love most about it. A voting system will inevitably mean people will avoid some (esp certain boss fractals) which will become largely derelict or involve bickering over votes etc.

Whilst I sympathise with what you are saying, I think it works perfectly s it is.

People already roll for Swamp Fractal (I dislike this concept)

But if this was an option it’d force people into running a meta fractal speed run.

Swamp/Ascalon/Thaumanover/Molten Duo – All the time. (I expect)

And that’d just be boring. The fact that after Swamp/Cliffside/Dredge you then get Mai Trin is just <3

Can mods please stop locking threads that are constructive.
Just delete posts that are derailments.

Personally I don’t think Fractals are random enough. They should randomize all mobs, size, shape, difficulty, and location.
