Actually it’s a good event.The only 2 things which are too easy are the jumping puzzle and Toypocalipse.The puzzle compared to MCKT is too easy and toypocalipse’s pre-nerf was awesome.After it? Meh…such disapointement
Everything else i was just great.I liked the bells and the pvp map.
Group is recruiting experienced ranger to join our progression through Fractal of the Mists.You should have 20AR+ and basic knowledge of the fights at higher levels.Everyone at level 35 or higher will be boost you up.We are doing lower level dailies such as 20 and 30.Sometimes very rarely we are doing too 8 and 10.
Our main focus is to clear the higher difficulties of the dungeon.
If you are interested post here or contact me on Moiraine.2753
Please do not complain about a level 11 fractal. Just makes most people lol.
A properly built team with players who know their class and with a little experience even at difficulty 39 the shaman can be a walk in the park. 40 however I guess it’s where it actually get’s annoying, (NOT 11 lol) since at 40 you can have max resist and still get downed every time he hits you with agony.
Do you feel that the Underwater or Swamp fractal is equally hard at level 40? I doubt you do, and as such there is a problem with the Grawl fractal.
Actaully the 2nd group of Kraits can totally obliterate the whole group if you don’t have a good composition of classes and people who actually know how to survive this pack.So yes for pugs this will be hard.
In my opinion 40+ fractals are not meant for pugs.
Oh please no one fails to complete the lvl40 underwater fractal. Even if the pugs wipe on that krait grp, they will manage to kill enough kraits on the first try to make the second try trivial.
Don’t say things that you can’t support with 100% certainty.I was in many random groups.And you won’t believe how many people there are who could wipe you only because they don’t have a steady raiding group from which they could actually learn.That is the reason why when I reached level 30 i stoped pugging and found myself a group to make progress with.
In my opinion FotM is good as it is and should never be balanced arround pugs.The reason is the levels.Any way lets give a look at something else.Now I will give you 4 examples:
1st is the crystal in the Ice fractal and it’s snow phase.Pugs can fail with miserably at it even at higher fractals(even with Guardian’s and thief’s walls,bubbles,Smokes and invisibility).They keep pulling elementals and you have to corps run it.
2nd is the char fractal where you are in the last room.There pugs can keep running inside with the veterans and wipe the group.You may think that people already know to stay at the door and to wait only 1 of you to pull?mhm i will say it agai pugs are unreliable.
3rd is the krait group which i already mantioned.
4th is the shaman which is hard for random groups only because they may have 3 warriors or 2 glass cannons or someone who can’t dodge the agony or what ever reason.
Now i will return to the Shaman boss again.For pugs he is hard.For proper groups it’s not a problem at all.But I will repeat again.FotM should never be balanced around random made groups.For that you have levels.

In my opinion 40+ fractals are not meant for pugs.
higher difficulties are not for randoms.Who knows what will you get.3 glass canons for instance.
Pugs can’t do something?Well the world won’t end.You have a choice.
Deal with it or lower the dificulty.It’s that simple.
Eldiora@ here is the "Missing Timetable’’ you are talking about.It’s the last line in the article
Quote:We plan to ship these two features at the end of January.
A group is recruiting one last memeber to join us.We are doing Fractals of the Mists level 43 and going up.We are looking for experienced people with high agony resistance.You must not have less than 25AR.
We are doing runs from 3 to 5 days per week.Starting between 6pm and 8pm GMT
You can post here or talk with me in game when i’m online.
This time the jumping puzzle is better.
1st you have 3 paths so even if you are 15 people at the start you will be split in 3 groups x5.
2nd it’s good to have some challenge and i like that it’s a timed run.
And 3rd i can bet that more than 70% of the people will be able to do it.
The puzzle is nothing no where near as hard as the MKCT so stop whining.
Sorry but i have to disagree with you.In my opinion the dungeon is a success.I’m already lvl 30 and i have a reason to do even higher levles.And this reason is not gear grind for stats or what ever.I like to farm levels.That is what motivates me.Not the ascended gear.
Are the fractals a big gear check?Yes they are.
Is it missing a group making system?Yes it is.
Are there bugs?Yes there are.
Does disconects exist?Yes.Have i disconected?Again yes
Does any of the reasons above stopped me from doing it?No.
Why?It’s certainly not because of the ascended gear or the gear treadmill.What i love is the levels.That is something i really like.Not the resistance,not the gear.I don’t mind those.
I don’t have problems with the missing group making ingame system too.I know Anet is working on it.So it will come.
So no,no,no and NO the dungeon is good.It has everything i needed.
RNG exists in every MMO.Is it GW2 with FotM dungeons or WoW with LFR there is always some kind of RNG system existing.
I can only say one thing RNG is RNG am i lucky or not well this doesn’t really bother me.
I agree with Dogbalster.The agony is here to make a chanllenge for hard core players.If you can’t handle difficulty 20+ then lower the level.The dungeon has bee out for 5 days only.What do you want?To beet it and be done with it?Even Heroic raids in other MMOs can’t be done in one week.
The fractals are fine as they are,because 1st 6 – 9 difficulties are the easiest and in my opinion are for pugs.10 and higer difficulty i think are not for pugs.They are only for coordinated groups who want a challenge.
This dungeon is the same as other MMOs raids.In WoW you have LFR which is for casuals,normal mode raids which are for more progressive guilds and Heroic raids which are not for everyone.
Fractals concept is the same as raids.Not everything is for everyone.Levels 1-7 for casuals and pugs.Levels 8-9 for more coordinated groups.level 10 and higer is only for top players.
No there isn’t a problem with the the window.Now it’s your problem that you clicked it.
Normally i always wait before pressing yes.I loot the chest,i sort the bags and when i’m certain that i have everything then i press.This is how you should do it too.
Now,now don’t whine so much.It has bee out from a few days.The comunity said exactly the same thing for the 8 explorable dungeons when they came and look what happend after 2 months.They became more than easy.Here won’t be any different after a few months.
The path hasn’t been out more than 2 days and you ask for nerfs.Come on give it some time.
My experience with it is not so bad.Pugs may struggle with it but with enough comunication and cordination you do it.
You will not have automated LFG system developer already said once that.They are working on improving current tool.
Stop asking for autamated-cross server systems
Vinny@,if you want an event like Plinx’s chain,well that is not going to happen.This was bugged event in my eyes.You shouldn’t be able to do one event again and again only because it’s spawning every 5 minutes.
You don’t need full exotic gear ate.I had a 50level friend in my 1st group and 69 level guildy in my 2nd group.Better gear helps but it’s not required.The dungeon is perfectly tuned.Lower levels are easy and higher are harder.Now if you still are wiping then it’s either your fault or group’s.It’s NOT dungeon’s fault.Stop whining for nothing.
I agree with you.the difficulty is just right.Level 1 is very easy.Yes mobs hit hard and you need communication but that’s all.I’m not even sure does down penalty is in it.
People just can’t decide what they actually want.They were not comfortable with the 1st 8dungeons so they cried because they were to easy.Now they whine again because FotM is to hard.
Well i can say you this you are not bound o do the dungeon.Soon the gear will be able to be taken with other currencies.And you won’t be left behind.
The dungeon is only for those who want to do it.If you don’t like it you don’t have to do it.You have 8 other dungeons.
If you like it but don’t have a good group level 1 is for you.But even pugs with a little communication can get to level 3 easily.
This dungeon is boring, mind-numbingly repetitive, and shows little innovation in design from previous dungeon instances. I ran the dungeon twice, and by the third instance of the first run I was already worn out by its derivative quality. I’m certainly not running this dungeon again, and I don’t see how any one—not even the most hardcore of the hardcore gamers—could get any enjoyment from it after grinding it over 100 times for one piece of ascended gear. It’s a blight on all that was once promising about GW2.
Haters will hate whatever Anet comes up with.
I love the dungeon.It’s interesting,intriguing,difficult and requires communication.You can’t faceroll things anymore.Here mobs hit hard,you receive penalty for going in DS.So you not only must communicate with members but also think where you will jump,what you will do next.I like very much the instance.
There are 0 wp and that is almost perfect.Zerg-rush is removed.It’s non-existent mechanic.People heal more and don’t let you die.
Well i can’t deny there aren’t any bugges,because they exist.But i think they will be removed soon enough.
Now,now don’t whine so much.People wanted harder things well Anet liestened.They gave you such things.You can’t do something?Then Lower the dificulty.If you still can’t do it then it’s not for you sorry mate.
There may have some hard things but with time people will get used to them.
Swamp…. No really- that fractural can be removed from the kitten game. On a serious note- Either Kitty Asura Cube area or the Volcano Stage…. I’ve done the collusus way too many times to enjoy it and when running it with new people it gets even more frustrating.
People wanted harder things.Anet listened and we got what comunity wanted.Now people complain it’s too difficult.Gosh give it time.
This dungeon is not like all 8 others.It it’s not meant to be such a zergfest like them.People wanted more difficult things than previous dungeons.Anet listened.If you can’t handle the difficulty lower it.D1 is still a faceroll if you know what to do.
1st Anet will make other ways of getting the gear.So everyone who don’t likes to do the dungeon will not be bound to it.Be patient a little.
2nd if you can’’t handle the difficulty lower the level.If you still can’t do it on level 1 then it’s not for you.
3rd jumping puzzles are here to stay.Not every dungeon in GW2 is meant to be only for casuals.Hard core players must have something to work on too.
In my opinion level one and two is for pugs.
I like it too.It’s fast,it’s interesting.Not a zergfest and getting harder and harder.Well still a little buggy but that will be fixed.
And some of the views are breath taking lol.
You did great gob Anet
People don’t use group buffs only in PUGs.Why should they?It’s a random collected group.Now if you take a pre-made group they will use all their skills on max.It’s the same concept in other mmos.Do you expect people who are randomly colected through LFG to have some sinchronisation between them?Gosh mate specific rolls are not bound to give something.Everything is the same as here.
I don’t use MF gear in dungeons,nor my groups.Only pugs use MF.
Conclusion don’t pug.
Because everyone playing this game has a big active guild and full friends list dedicated to doing any dungeon whenever you want… right?
Who my group is made from guildies lol.My group was made from random people i met while doing stuff in GW2.I become friends with people i meet.It is not a guild group lol
Loot table is almost the same with one exception.Rares are buffed lol.Now they rain like candies and i love it!
Blues,greens,whites are the same as before.There isn’t any nerf in my experience.They drop chance isn’t changed.My bags are filling very fast.But now rares drop so often
And i’m really happy with this change.
Dungeon drops are finally fixed.
