Please, do something to limit the presence of Shattered Observatory in the daily&rec rotation.

It's amazing the number of times that this (very long) fractal has been a daily or recommended fractal lately. In any case, way, way beyond the proportion that corresponds to 1/25.

The fractal dailies cycle through a fixed roster of 15 possible combinations:http://nevesnican.cz/fractals/

Shattered Observatory appears twice in this rotation. So as far as daily fractals, it shouldn't be over represented.

Quick scan of the wiki: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Fractals_of_the_Mists

Shattered Observatory shows up as either a Daily or a Recommended a total of 5 times over the course of 15 days - 2x as daily, 3x as a recommended.

Compared to:Sirens Reef: 5 - 2x as daily, 3x as recTwilight Oasis: 5 - 2x as daily, 3x as recThaum: 5 - 2x as daily, 3x as rec

The only real outlier is Aquatic Ruins, which only shows up 1 time as a daily, and 1 time as a rec every 15 days....cuz people really hate dolphins.

You just think Shattered shows up more than it does because you find it long and/or dislike it, when in reality it appears in the dailies just as frequently as any of the others.

That and if you do CMs then when it is a Daily or Req you have a shorter run. Food for thought there. Honestly I find SO fun. The only issue is dealing with all the clutter while bouncing marbles.

SO consits almost only of bossfights. Running good builds shortens it a lot. The cm version removes all dialogue which shortens it a lot aswell.Just practice and learn the cm.

Sirens reef is far worse than SO.

It's only shorter if it's a daily, but will not count for rec. I often hope that either it counts, or have a CM mode in T1/2/3 too just for the sake of skipping dialogues..... Yoko really talks too much and she's wasting my time.

Lol yeah Yoko gets old.

I don't get why you can't skip the cinematics; I mean it looks cool but we don't need it for the 100th time.

I just skip SO as a rec; though usually I prefer not doing recs at all.

I'll take SO over Deepstone any day, week, month or year. Sometimes I hang around after the Voice is defeated, just so I can use my action key one more time...

Wish it was daily everyday.

I did suggest that before, but... ignored.Simple suggestion to add exclusion of daily repeat of same fractal. To make it work that system needs atleast 13 fractals, we have 20.How it should work.If Deepstone appears as Daily Rec. - Next day it won't appear at all. Even in Daily t1-t4.If Siren's Reef appears as Daily Tier1-4, - it won't appear next day even as Recommended.

To prevent daily repeats of same fractal ( no matter if it is rec. or tier daily ) there are more than enough fractals to create proper rotation and exclusion system.

I opposite have suggestion make Shattered Observatory always one of 3 dayli fractal.It will make some motivated do cm mode.
