We Do Not Like Scarlet Briar

Hopefully this thread maintains the constructive criticism these forums require and not be deleted.

I really enjoy this game for a lot of reasons, from dodge rolling to WvW. The world was rich an immerse the moment I stepped foot into it. Once I caught up on the lore by playing Guild Wars 1, I really appreciated the story.

Then a weed named Scarlet was introduced. Sure, she felt a bit wacky, but I was okay with it at first. Then she started cropping up in everything, and it began to feel forced and unoriginal.

Now she is behind the Thaumanova Reactor and there are aether-looking items around the world with a sign saying “DO NOT TOUCH” (clearly of Scarlet design), and I’m just done.

ArenaNet writers, your players are speaking to you.

Listen closely; this is the important part:

Weapons can’t currently be infused, so at the moment only Rings and Backpieces can get them.

Are they infused as in having two Infusion slots?
If not, they are not Infused.

You need to “Infuse” your item (currently only available for Rings and Backpacks), this will give them an Infusion slot where you can equip the new Infusions.

And to the ones who have a problem with the layout. Remember, its a fractal. Fractals aren’t 100% accurate, some fratcals are more accurate than others. The mists tend to add, remove or replace details. Things that aren’t really affecting the main event. The mists could have replaced some of the rooms.

This actually annoys me about this update. They’ve abandoned the original style of FotM (which was a huge success, especially compared to the hostile reception this update has received) and done a hatchet job on the two Living Story dungeons despite them not fitting the style of FotM. Now we have three fractals with NPCs, story and dialogue, all of which are established canon instead of actual Fractals. It was cool to see fractals as this glimmer of something, now they’ve outright plonked an actual story component into them (Scarlet’s presence at the reactor) which makes that fractal different from the originals.

methinks i have around 20ish stacks of dragonite. i dont think we need another source of getting it. perhaps you should do more meta events.

That is my point exactly, I do not want to do mindless zergy meta events in order to get dragonite ore. The same applies for many other players. The events may seem fun the first couple of times but in the end become a boring chore. How many times do I have to slay Jormag so I can craft one ascended sword? Pristine relics could offer that possibility, it is an alternative way to get the ore. It can be compared to the obsidian shards. You can get those with karma. But if you don’t want to do endless event chains to get that karma, you can buy them with fractal relics.

We should be able to buy any ascended gear with Pristine Fractal Relics.

I wouldn’t go as far to suggest Ascended gear, but some components would be neat.

Why not? It could be an absurd amount of relics. I’m thinking 30 pristine fractal relics for one weapon.

I’d rather we be allowed to buy something more substantial with pristine relics. I don’t know about you, but I have far more dragonite ore than I’ll ever need. I’ve begun destroying any I find.

I would rather be able to purchase more ascended trinkets and back pieces with my pristine relics. Perhaps consumables which temporarily increase agony resistance, or agony resist infusions.

Those armadillos would be a lot cooler if they looked more like real armadillos. mmm armadillos

Haven’t gotten rings or fractal weapons like I did before this patch hit. I just wanted fractal weapons, before patch I got at least 1 fractal weapon skin every 2 days by doing dailies 28,38,48. Now Im doing dailies 10,20,30,40s everyday and still no fractal weapon since pre-patch. Barely get rings like before. Rings didn’t mean much but it made you come back for more. Now I feel like Im not getting anything; why even come back?

The reward should have been 1g/10 levels with silver increments in between. 1g/level 10, 2g/lvl20… 4.5g for level 45… 5g/level 50.

You read my mind.

did lvl 30 fractal. daily gold reward was 1g 20s. 2x cof p1 pls.

That’s garbage. We did a 9 just for grins and got 1g for finishing. A 20s increase for some 21 levels is not what I would call balanced reward scaling.

To be fair you also get 4 chests, loot, fractal relics, some infusions probably, pristine relic and possibly a fractal skin or ascended weapon/ring.

And doing CoF p1 twice you get 6 chests, a little loot, and a few champ bags(ascended weapon chance)

i don’t want fractals to be removed. i enjoy the short story and it’s divisibility.
what i want is the agony damage to be represented as other form of damage and can be overcome by player’s skill.
i want the damage shown as some kind of consequence of their acts but do not just shown with completely no reason.
it make me feels like : “hey, these players are too easy to overcome the fractals, let’s reduce their health. but how? whatever, let’s just give it a name called agony, and tell players it is a challenging.”

ok, i know your points now. it really sounds silly for people who believe the only way to get legendary is by farm.

removing tp and hence some people can’t acquire wealth by it is interesting.
because some of these people are actually helping the market to be healthy by setting the price of every item correct.

If there are no such players, these kind of tp “profit” still exist to some buyer and seller, they just don’t know, understand or notice that.

With some tp profit maker’s effort, everyone can instantly buy or sell any item in a correct, reasonable price, and no need to worry whether the price is too high or too low etc.

Not sure if serious, but I’ll answer nonetheless.

First, let me say it straight. If every time you log-in you find yourself ported in a fractal and forced to do a fractal, I advise you to contact the support. It surely is a bug. Else, I really can’t see your problem. Don’t play it and it won’t harm you. Easy and not time consuming! This is the same thing I did with your beloved Tower of nightmares. I wasn’t interested in it, i didn’t do it, it didn’t bothers me (and I have an orange bar on the right left section of my monitor, something fractals doesn’t cause to appear).

Aaaan… nobody likes fractals? I for one know I love them, so your arbitrary assumption is by this simple fact already invalidated. Plus, I know many more peopla who do fractals, many loves them, many likes them, many find them interesting, many are curious and just enjoy a run every now and then. Many aren’t interested or don’t like them.

So, to conclude, the fact is that fractals ARE in GW2, but you can chose to ignore them and solve all your problems. I hope this consideration was helpful and will help you enjoy GW2 more now that you know how to fix your issue!

Btw… what should the thread title mean?

Why run high lvl fractals?

Posted by: Sugar.4582

Because you need about 2.5k Relics to get the shiny backpiece so it’s faster doing high level ones o.o at lv 26-30 you get 10 per room and 50 at final boss…. but with these new rooms doing 20+ is not reccommended anymore , unless guild or friends.

Theory: Dessa's Lab is itself a Fractal

We always knew that Mistlock Observatory was in the mists, didn’t we? I don’t know where else it would have been floating. Is there anything to confirm that the observatory is specifically a fractal rather than just a place in the mists?

So I think a better question is whether the observatory is built from mist matter or built from real materials that were taken into the mists. Who built the first portal back to reality, and how? How did they test that the engineering of the portal would work within the mists? It’s all rather puzzling. Perhaps the observatory is a duplicate of a Consortium lab in reality, that doesn’t necessarily need to have been successful, and it was the reflection of that lab within the mists (with reflections of Dessa and her krewe) that actually did all the hard engineering to forge the link back to reality.

you need to discover them first,

in ur discover tab
use +1 agony resist(2 pieces) and the reagent(1 piece) ,the one used for ascended stuff,sold from the master crafter vendors.

repeat the process for higher versions +2 agony resist(2 pieces) and 1 reagent,etc

COF gives 1.2 gold; FOTM lv. 31 gives 1.3?

I posted as much elsewhere. The reward should be 10s/personal level. 3g at 30 seems fair. The challenge/length is sufficient to justify it.

I assumed this would be the case:
Lv. 1-10: 1 gold
Lv. 11-20: 2 gold
Lv. 21-30: 3 gold
Lv. 31-40: 4 gold
Lv. 41-50: 5 gold

This would make a lot more sense, given the time commitment and difficulty required and a simple comparison to dungeons rewards.

It was pretty clearly stated that to increase the resistance of an infusion you would need an artificer (can’t remember if others can do it) to combine the infusions.
Also you would expect it to behave just like any other upgrade, gem or trinket where it replaces whatever you presently have on.

I actually had the same idea in my head. But now that i thinking more about it there are some deeper implications if this is true.
This leads to two possible scenarios: a sad one and weird one.

Sad:
If all Fractals are simply figments of past events that means Dessa is one, too. That means that there was a Dessa who opened camp in this mistlock observatory but not anymore.
The observatory was destroyed and Dessa is dead and they became just an other fractal.

Weird:
Dessa came there just like us and created that observatory. But somehow the observetory became a Fractal itself. Dessa (and her crew) was LITERALLY TURNED INTO HISTORY.

Pretty cool. Actually kind of sad in a way. It’s like Groundhog day.

Yeah… I kind of want it to be true but not true at the same time. It wouldn’t necessarily be a bad fate for Dessa (she isn’t reliving her death over and over at least) but it is just kind of saddening. Plus I don’t think there’d really ever be a future event that’d let us free her if this was true due to how Fractals seemingly work for now.

Also, on a semi-unrelated note, I think she knows something about the uncatagorized fractal. Wish we could ask her if she knows the crazy cat golem Asura.
