Guild Wars 2: Fractured goes live today; with this new update, ArenaNet and NCSoft introduce a series of improvements that take into account player feedback, for Fractals of the Mists, a series of endless dungeons that get harder and harder the longer you play them.

Taking into account what Living World content was the most popular among the players, Fractured will let players revisit great moments from Tyria’s past, and also to hone their battle skills in this infinite series of dungeons.

Among the improvements in this release are three new fractals, including one that players voted upon; there are also two new boss fractals. In addition, the Fractals have received a difficulty bump so that they now pose more of a challenge and a threat to skilled players at higher difficulties. Finally, a major reward revamp makes Fractals runs moresatisfying than ever before at every difficulty level, ensuring repeated playthroughs as well.

Guild Wars 2 is an MMO with a difference, apparently. Apart from being a full fledged game that does not require a monthly subscription or cheap free to play tactics to sustain itself, it also has what has been termed by the developers and fans ‘a living story.’

Now the story is going to get even better, say the developers. As Joystiq reports, Game Director Colin Johanson shared some plans about the game’s future in an interview with USGamer.

“There is now, and certainly will be a lot larger focus on ensuring that the content we’re building is creating experiences that people can permanently have when they come back two years later,” he said. “Instead of saying, ‘I see something that happened two years ago but I can’t experience it,’, we want players to say, ‘I’m playing this and I’m playing it as a result of something that happened two years ago.'”

Still, seeing a bunch of teens traversing bare-footed on hot coals, and diving to the depths and defying authority to announced their “time is now” implies that gamers are like that in real life. Or even half as attractive.

Which, let’s be honest here, no.

Nonetheless, Guild Wars 2 ladies and gentlemen. Let its run hallowed in this dark parts.
