LIVING WORLD
Fractured!
Five New Fractals

Three standard fractals:


  • Thaumanova Reactor: Embark on a brand-new historical adventure, and travel to the ill-fated power facility moments before it explodes. As the fractal scale increases, more potential outcomes will unlock.
  • Molten Weapons Testing: Accompany Braham and Rox through this epic retelling of the Molten Facility dungeon.
  • Aetherblade Retreat: Join Ellen Kiel as she fights off Aetherblade pirates in a fragment of the Aetherblade Retreat dungeon.

Two boss-tier fractals:


  • Molten Retribution: Battle the legendary bosses from the Molten Facility dungeon in this boss-tier fractal.
  • Sky Pirates: Relive the challenge of Captain Mai Trin and First Mate Horrik.

Story


  • As promised during her campaign run for the Captain’s Council seat, Ellen Kiel has begun her investigation of the Thaumanova Reactor disaster in the Mistlock Observatory.
  • Players can complete the special story-mode version of this fractal when they enter the Fractals of the Mists for the first time during this release.

Mistlock Instabilities


  • Tampering with the Mistlock Observatory to target specific moments in time has destabilized the Mistlock process. Consequently, unique Mistlock Instabilities will begin occurring on fractal level 31.
  • Mistlock Instabilities are special modifiers that have various effects on players and their party’s journey through the fractals. These can be anything from simple conditions to insidious extra creature attacks. List

Improvements to Agony Resistance/Infused Gear


  • All infused ascended equipment now has a special infusion slot for Agony Resistance infusions.
  • Agony Resistance infusions can be found in fractal reward chests.
  • All existing, infused ascended equipment has a +5 Agony Resistance infusion in the Agony Resistance slot by default, in place of the natural +5 Agony Resistance.
  • Agony Resistance infusions provide +1 or more Agony Resistance.
  • Artificers can combine two identical Agony Resistance infusions with a Thermocatalytic Reagent to create a single, more powerful Agony Resistance infusion.
  • Newly created or dropped infused ascended equipment will have empty Agony Resistance slots.

General Fractal Improvements


  • Fractal selection is now based on the number of fractals the party has completed on the current run. Longer, more difficult fractals are less likely to be selected as the first fractal of the level.
  • Every fractal level now ends with a boss-tier fractal. The Solid Ocean, Molten Retribution, and Sky Pirates fractals are all in this category.
  • Unshakable creatures will no longer receive more than 5 stacks of the defiance boon in the fractals.
  • The difficulty scaling for fractals has been adjusted. Enemy health, damage, and count now scale more gradually.
  • Agony damage has also been reduced at several levels.
  • Fractal level 50 is now possible, even with excessive agony damage. However, the fractals are temporarily capped at level 50. Additional levels will become available in the future.
  • Fractal progress is now account-wide.
  • Numerous bug fixes and balance changes have been made to previously available fractals.

Fractal Leaderboards


  • With this release, players will be able to track their progress on a new leaderboard that displays their fractal rank.
  • In the case of a tie, the first player to achieve that rank will be listed higher.
  • The leaderboard will be posted on GuildWars2.com once they have been populated with enough data.

Rewards


  • Daily coin rewards for fractal completion are now more consistent with other dungeons. There are now separate daily rewards per every ten levels of the fractals (1 – 10, 11 – 20, and so on).
  • The Fractal weapons have been converted to weapon skins.
  • Recipes for a new rune and a new sigil will now drop exclusively in the fractals:
  • Superior Rune of Resistance grants bonus toughness, a reduction in condition duration, and aegis upon using a signet.
  • Superior Sigil of Momentum grants a stacking toughness bonus on kills.
  • Completing the Fractured! meta-achievement awards the player a bag of ascended crafting materials.

Achievements


  • Completing a fractal will fulfill a daily achievement each day of the Fractured! release.
  • Each unique fractal completed during the Fractured! release will fulfill a corresponding Living World achievement.
  • The Fractured! meta-achievement requires players to complete a combination of 11 daily fractals and/or unique fractal achievements.

Exotic Drop


  • The Endless Fractal Tonic is an endless transformation tonic that allows players to temporarily appear to be various creatures from the Fractals of the Mists dungeons. The tonic is more likely to drop at higher fractal levels.

The Nightmares Within
Rewards


  • The Tri-key Chest has been updated to include more loot bags, more Dragonite Ore, and a chance at Scrolls of Knowledge and Tomes of Knowledge.
  • The Toxic Hybrid will now drop a piece of the Tricolor Key every time he is defeated.
  • Sergeant Walters, located in the base of the Tower of Nightmares, will now accept players’ Pristine Toxic Spore Samples for the Toxic Spore Sampler achievement. She will accept extra Pristine Toxic Spore Samples as trade for various new crafting recipes, Tricolor Key pieces, and the Antitoxin Spray healing skill.

NEW FEATURES AND CONTENT
World vs. World


  • A new area has been added to the Obsidian Sanctum jumping puzzle!
  • The Borderlands Bloodlust effect has been disabled in Obsidian Sanctum.
  • Players can now enter Obsidian Sanctum directly from the drop-down menu of the WvW panel.

Items


  • Additional recipes for ascended back-item pieces have been added to the Mystic Forge for players who don’t play the fractals.
  • All of the ascended back-item pieces that required 1 vial of Condensed Mists Essence can now be forged with Bloodstone Dust instead.
  • A total of eight recipes have been added.

BALANCE, BUG-FIXING, POLISH
General


  • Sylvari cultural armor updates—light tier 1 (female only), light tier 3, medium tier 2, and medium tier 3: textures, specularity, and dye channels have been predominantly restored to the state before the last update, while balancing them to work with the glow material.
  • For the medium tier 2 leggings, the dye-to-skin area was largely combined to a supporting channel to give full texture and glow-color control. The armor-glow shader has been tweaked to allow full saturation range of the glow color, as will be dictated by the saturation of the texture. This shader affects all plantlike sylvari armors that have glow: sylvari cultural, Nightmare Court, and sylvari town clothes.

Items
Gathering tools can no longer be unequipped while gathering.
