I think you are right as I have seen Anet say as much on these forums. However that doesn’t change the fact that right now we can’t seem to get both. The old content is still buggy, the new content is buggy, and the new fixes for the old content are buggy.
Something that i always wondered, why do we not have PTR’s tests? Fetching a whole map of people to properly test things will be infinitely better than we have now. Since very obvious things like the fractals dc/cliffside boss and the transformation debuff goes through unnoticed. And the people that play the game figure it out in 5 min of playing it.
But aren’t we betatesting the fractals?? It’s the only answer… it is impossibile to think the actual release of this content is next to an official release… and the way the fixing goes up and down let me feel is more like an alpha test..
Since we can’t discuss on this topic about the 2 real issues of Fractals (Dc-rejoin and Time investements on findind a group) tied more on the general design of the dungeon.
I have one big question unresolved: How much time is required in the “Devs” mind to complete a Fractal of average level (5-10-15-20-25….) by an average group often composed by pugs???
I ask that because sinche the last buff to the dungeon mobs an “average” Run was 1h-1h:30m… And before that buff that pushed the complete time to 2h 2:30 I rarely met someone asking to exploit something to make the run quicker….
I feel like the exploits abusing is in a first place an answer to how bad balanced and time consuming is the Fotm in his totality.
Eternal Looking for group time (aw c’mon addressing a third part website to resolve the issue is just ridicolous)
Dc issues wasting every effort and time invested (my curse to you still running)
Comunity fragmentation
Tons of consuming time bugs along all the istances
now buffing mobs number-toughness-damage….
I like the agony concept i don’t like to run the same fract level the day after and find twice the mobs 3 shotting the party….. at least put some effort on comunicating better the “fix” you apply or just say Fotm still in betatest enjoy at your own risk.
PC DCed just before the last boss of the last fractal (again… already happened twice)
It’s already so hard to find a group for the right level
Then a small crash make leave me behind… again…
From the bottom of my heart, I deeply CURSE whoever brainstormed, developped, coded, this kind of system…. May you all drown in the blood of your own Hemorroids
Same as the others… Italy, ISP fastweb.. all went ok this morning but heavy lag started again about 1 hour ago :S
Idem “with patatoes”
The most sadly thing is this happening while the invite a friend promotion… and even if my friends didn’t get the problems i still can’t play with them
