Guild Wars 2

You guys are fantastic. Thanks for the replies, all of you.

And yeah, at first I was frustrated and I began to think that maybe fractals were populated by the most elite, but I remembered quickly that throughout my travels I’ve been aided by a LOT of friendly people.

GW has a great tendency to attract a very friendly population, overall. Since my GW1 days, I’ve rarely had a bad experience that was so consistent that it made me want to leave the GW community. This thread is also indicative of my suspicions: most people are here to help and have fun.

I’ll take what you have mentioned to heart, and start my own group. I saw someone else mention that it might be a good idea to put “casual” as well as something to the effect of “all cutscenes” in there to let people know of these preferences.

Thanks again, everyone.

Ok thanks for the reply and your time, Oxidia. It’s good to know that I wasn’t seriously screwing up or something. I’d hate to waste a group’s time, especially if they had patience to work with me in the first place.

Hi everyone,

First off, hello. I am a relatively new member to GW2 (as in I have no lvl 80 characters; just have a lvl 50~ ele), but long time GW1 vet.

My question might be bit complex, but please bear with. I was lucky enough to hitch a ride on a scale 9 group that didn’t mind I wasn’t a lvl 80 (you wouldn’t BELIEVE how often I got kicked before that). But eventually I got a group, we all entered the portal in lion’s arch, proceeded through the fractal, and finished it.

Next day, I decide to do it again. I go through several kicks before I find a group that has patience with me. I am near the portal at this point, but i don’t see any of my party. I assume they’ll all show up at some point. Eventually they say “are you coming or not, dude.” I didn’t even know they were already in the portal! So I jump into the portal and it suggests to me that I have 5 party members, would I like to start in explorable mode? I was confused so i clicked yes, it took me to an empty mistlock. I proceeded to the first fractal, none of my party was there.

At this point my party is getting kittened off, calling me noob, losing patience etc. So I have the grace to exit the party myself, apologizing for not know what went wrong.

So I beg of you, GW2 community. What went wrong?! Is there more than one access point to the fractals? How could they still talk to me if they were already in there, and why didn’t I see them? Is this a common problem? Am I being an idiot here?

Thanks.
