- Dredge fractal trouble
Remove Dredge fractal until being made to last 20 minutes. Test it through dedicated testers.
- Rolling.
Tier 1 = current Tier 1
Tier 2 = current Tier 2 + remaining Tier 1
Tier 3 = current Tier 3 (except dredge) + remaining Tier 2 + remaining Tier 1- Rewards.
- Gold reward = fractal level x 10 silver.
- Salvage or sell ascended rings for 50 silver
- Guaranteed token for skins for fractal 40+
- Random Skin chest to be able to choose skin (increase to 10% chance to get one at 40+)
- Random ascended stuff (weapon or armor) without fixed stats to be able to chose.That, and I will do fractals again.
This is a pretty clean band aid until more long term solutions can be implemented. Better than nothing and an easy fix for now. /approved as triage until long term solution is in place. Would anyone be against this as a short term solution?
Exactly, this solution was intended to be a short-term one. Like a “fix” to the fractals.
Because I think it is very simple to be done and implemented.
And one more point to be raised.
Why do I loot more interesting stuff when doing a F11 compared to a F49 ? This should NOT be happening. At some point, reward chest at the end of fractal shall offer guaranteed good loot…

Made my first Immobulus few weeks after it has been discovered. Giant eyes went from 4s to 25s… It took me a decent amount of money to complete (total 40g).
As it was a market quite abandoned at some point and I had many many skill points, i crafted maybe 5 or 6 more, with buy orders on giant eyes (between 50s and 80s) for quite good margins.
Two months ago, I bought maybe 150 giant eyes just before the price skyrocket (around 80s). When i saw the price increasing, i decided not to craft immobulus but wait for the good time to sell my giant eyes.
They were sold for 2.15g, so big margin without spending any skill point.
However, my little market of Immobulus crafting is now dead, but i enjoyed it a long time.
Immobulus is really the best, I have never seen anyone else with it on my server…
Hi guys,
In the looking ahead for the second semester of 2013 that can be found here:
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/looking-ahead-guild-wars-2-in-2013/
It is stated that:
Legendary Gear and Precursors
We aren’t quite ready to go into all the details here, but what I can say is you will see a specific way to build precursor items on your way to a legendary. On top of this, you’ll also see new legendary weapons and new types of legendary gear in 2013. Building your precursor will require a large amount of the new crafting material rewards listed above, 500 in crafting, and likely a combination of other items earned for completing more specific content in the game.
Where are these features ?
When will they be released ?
30+ Fractal runs since Fractured. 90% F38 and F49.
0 Skin.
0 Chest.
0 Exotic.
40+ Fractal runs since Fractured. 90% F38 and F49.
0 Skin.
0 Chest.
0 Exotic.
Bump and edit
30+ Fractal runs since Fractured. 90% F38 and F49.

I know you do not want to change that because the harder things are obtainable, the longer people will play it.
But at a certain point of stupid table loot, people will just give up.
I am one of these. I cannot keep going like this, I feel this whole time in Fractals totally lost.
And why do you keep fixing skipping part in Dredge Fractal but doing nothing for AC or Arah skipping exploits ? WHY ?
Thanks Anet,
I stop Fractals today.
I used to do this exploits because this fractal in 49+ is awful, i do not want to spend 2 hours in it with 25 minutes on rabsovich and his 250 friends (i checked the time, 25 minutes is accurate). I think there are almost 1000 dredges in this fractal with infinite respawn and no loot, that is AMAZING design.
Now i learn that exploit at the beginning is fixed.
I cannot go there one more time now, this is too painful, the opposite of fun, then why play it ? I play a game for fun, not for being beaten by 250 veterans with 15 buffs.
As always, content is being released without being properly tested.
Who pays ? players with a bugged event during 2 weeks.
Crystal, please fix the 10 second Invulnerability bug today?
I wish it was that simple, but the fix needs to go through proper implementation and testing before it can go live. Unfortunately we won’t be able to roll this out until the next patch, but it is coming along with several other bug fixes to the edge cases causing the event to stall and break.
So basically it will still remain almost impossible (only one success for now) because of this bug right ? And you don’t even know when it will be corrected.
Thanks for releasing such content that is not doable (except if you are very lucky putting the head against a wall). Not to mention the crazy scaling issues.
Half of your release is bugged and not doable. Good score !

Usually, I am the first to complain about poor design.
But this boos encounter is really awesome.
Briefing troops before the fight, organizing the lines, foresee reinforcements, encouraging guys that are fighting, and finally win altogether. This is awesome.
Yes, everyone can bring something important to this event, so I think this is a great success.
I wish this event stays and your elitist Wurm thing just vanish in the Mist.
Jumping in here for a moment to clarify a few things because there are some misconceptions about that attempt in particular.
1) TTS did not kill the Wurm. A GM was able to examine the boss and get some info and they were off by 0.01%. Even if they had killed it, that is not the end of the encounter, there is still another phase.
2) We’re investigating why the Wurm did not burrow when the event failed.TTS did manage to sever the heads of all 3 Wurms later in the middle of the night and were the first to see the final phase.
Do you consider as intended :
-The fact that a guild is forced to artificially generate an overflow to try in good conditions this event ?
-The fact that it HAS to be done in guild, with a vocal, to be able to succeed ?
However, gratz TTS. You’ll get it soon.

Solution would be simple. Just make it not in open-world.
Need 20 ppl per lane, fine.
To enter the event, you need a team of 5 ppl and you go to a, let’s say teleporter.
Your team is TP to a lane, without any possibility to change of lane.
Once 4 teams of 5 ppl per lane, the event starts.
If team are problem (aka solo players, who wants to play solo), just make it so when 20 ppl are in a lane, the next ppl are assigned to an other lane.
Advantages:
- No overflow
- No timer
The no-timer thing is not a problem as there is no loot (except green stuff).
Living story = kitten.
You don’t know where you are going, the lore is poor or inexistent.
All of this to justify a small addition… Not addition, modification of the existing content that can be done in 1 hour.
Tequatl, did it, now what ? I wait two weeks for a new modification and I keep on doing the same things I’ve done for one year.
New path, did it, now what ? I wait two weeks for a new modification and I keep on doing the same things I’ve done for one year.
Wrong direction.
Anet, you did not understand what players want.
Content addition, not content replacement.
TAFU was fine except final boss. Or a better reward to compensate the final encounter.
But no, just destroy TAFU, the easy way. The way that goes against player will.
I also have 200 cores to up in lodestone and I am stuck because “You may want to hold off on buying Elonian Wine until this is fixed”.
Almost 3 days now, thanks.
Just pust 12 silver the elonian wine during 2 days for compensation…
And as amhill says, how is this not fixed yet ?
Early after the release, you realized and item was sold with a very cheap value (by mistake) and you fixed it very quickly…
But when an item is expensive (by mistake) it takes several days.
We cannot believe you when you say it was not made on purpose…
Well I can’t give away any secrets, but this BRUTAL video should give you a hint:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYz6qMbWpAw
No please don’t give any advice…
Else, the game will keep on becoming NERF WARS 2.
Hi,
My main character has been deleted by my GF after a stupid argument. Is there any hope that i get it back with an account rollback ?
She logged in on my computer (the connection to the gae is automatic) and deleted it. 900hours played vanished.
Do you think my ticket to the support has a way to be understood so i get back my char ?
Thanks…
-100+ SAB chests : 0 skin
-50+ Fractal 20+ runs : 1 skin (harpoon, can’t use it)
-500+ MF tries with rares : 0 precursor
-1000hours+ played : 0 precursor dropped
Why ?
RNG.
Btw, thanks for rewarding skill in your game.
This isn’t to say that the prestige cannot be maintained while improving the system, but I sure as hell do not want to see Fractal skins on the TP ever.
I totally agree with that, but the actual Fractal skins system based on your own luck seems not rewarding. And players have been complaining about that for months without any answer.
And then comes SAB with cool skins, a “good” rewarding system (luck OR grind via tokens) and a good communication…
It just feels like Fractals have been a one shot “dungeon” added and totally put behind everything else after.
Why is there such a difference between Fractal Skins and SAB Skins way of obtention ?
1) Fractal Skins
See the following posts:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/Fractal-Skins/first
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/Fractal-Reward-System-Seems-Broken/first#post1723731
Fractal Skins are :
-account bound (no money recovery or trade can be made)
-only obtainable through a RNG roll (no official figure regarding the chances, based on estimation, 0.3% to get the one skin you want).
-only obtainable at a minimum Fractal Level (20+).
-only obtainable in 1 chest after the completion of 3+1 Fractal level (45 minutes+) .
2) SAB Skins
See the following post:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/livingworld/sab/Lets-figure-out-some-drop-rates
SAB Skins are :
-can be bought!! (50 “tokens” + 1 gold) But are account bound.
-can be dropped in several chests and can be sold/traded!!
-chances to get them have been officially communicated 1 out of 50.
-In 10 minutes, it is possible to farm 2 chests.
3) Conclusion
Why such differences ?
You can grind SAB skins but not Fractal ones (tokens).
You can trade SAB skins but not Fractal ones (drops are not account bound).
Official communication has been performed for SAB Skins but nothing for Fractal Skins.
-Accessibility of chests that can drop (8 chests in 40 minutes for SAB versus 1 chest un 45minutes+ for Fractals).
And finally, why no communication concerning Fractals, even if a lot of players are concerned and sick of this Fractal Skins RNG system since 3 months ?
Possibilities / Unconfirmed:
Does Shadow Behemoth also drop Final Curse (longbow)?
Does Jormag also drop Wintersbark (short bow) & Jormag’s Needle (dagger)?Feathers of Dwayna (shortbow) from Temple of Dwayna chest?
Melandru’s Gaze (staff) from Temple of Melandru chest?Can Shatterer drop a particular Named Weapon!?
I would like to see Named Weapons drop from other events also.
Anyone get Destroyer weapons as a drop?!
As Wintersbark, Jormag’s Needle, Feathers of Dwayna and Melandru’s Gaze are obtainable from specific recipes in Mystic Forge, they cannot be dropped.
Got Magmaton from Frozen Maw btw.
The new guild skins are not particularly single-check RNG.
Particularly ugly and easy to obtain.
I was speaking about skins hard to obtain, making them very rares, but not RNG/grind-based. Even if grinding makes you getting closer and closer.
Easy, if you are unhappy with their methods (everything RNG based), just ignore the content.
I just ignore Fractal skins (no more fractal), Precursors (MF) and black lion chests (gem store) and I’m feeling quite well.
Btw, Anet, can you ever add some content non-RNG based ?
Yep, maths never lie. And getting Harpoon over and over…
What is killing me is the lack of communication about players complaints relative to really important topics.
- What happened to the scavenger hunt ? No answer
- Do something about Fractals cause they are not rewarding players. No answer
But “Spider queen solo engineer 36” got an answer quickly.
But “Path 3 of CoF unfair” got an answer quickly.
This is unfair, not Cof Path3…
I am sure Vol meant:
“Exotics that are craftable through unique mystic forge recipe cannot be obtained from throwing 4 rare/exotic weapons in the mystic forge”.
I’m refering to this announcement:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/news/Upcoming-mega-boss-chest-change
Finally we had the feeling of some events with good rewards, a certain amount of guaranteed rared (and thus ecto) per day.
Yes, except CoF path1, we had something to do to feel rewarded. But after one month, you decided to nerf it.
I do not really understand why because, for instance, the ecto price was stabilised around 26 silver, that seems to be a fair price to me. Rares price has also dropped a little, but not too excessively.
Moreover, to avoid overflow, I mainly use guesting to servers with a very low population. We are maximum 20 doing big events, so I do not think that I am stealing the seat of anyone, and I help them to do their events. A win-win procedure then.
I do not think that nerfing is a good solution, your game does not feel rewarding in many ways (Fractals, the higher the level, the higher the pain in the *ss, Fractal skins… Based only on luck, Precursors obtention, Legendary only a matter of money…).
I do not want these to be easily obtainable, but I want to be sure to get them if I dedicate some high amount of time.
With some guild mates, we made several runs of dailies 20+, praying for a skin.
Total: 100 runs (20 runs x 5 characters).
Skins: 5 (3x speargun, 2x focus)
Estimated chance to get a random skin : 5%.
Estimated chance to get the skin I WANT : 5%/19 = 0.26% (19 types of weapon).
I never played a fractal since I got that figure. Seriously, 0.26% to get the skin I want… Almost the same probability to get a precursor throwing rares in MF. For a skin account bound, that you will never get any profit from…
So for me, no more fractals till something is done to improve. Sorry Anet, but I am really disappointed and I leave your game. The feeling of never being rewarded is too high.
Happy to have missed 3 world events (Tequatl, Shatterer, Maw) cause I was on overflow server.
Please put some restrictions concerning guests options…
