Zhaitan needs to be a major world boss event.
Why weren’t you hired for their PvE team?
+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1
yeah. the Zhaitan battle was pathetikittentle more than a bad cinematic plus a partial quick time event.
actually fighting him on the ground as an event would be much better… heck anything would be better than that terrible entire chapter.
Neverr any love for adding Primordius :c
Eeehhhhhh, tbh, I find the idea of running up to a dragon and whacking it with a sword/other melee weapon/regular skills silly. I mean, why does it even land to fight you? It just needs to coast out of range and bomb your bidepal kitten. It’s a freaking dragon, not a half brained Skritt going “OH SHINY” at your weapons and shoving its face in them.
It should be a real combined effort of players on Airships wearing it down and then when it is down players have to mark targets on it with an environmental weapon for Asuran cannons to fire at it from range. That would be a much more epic and unique fight that would truly be multi-stage and multi-awesome.

The Dragons don’t choose to land. They are brought down by cannons, just like in Jormag event. That’s why it’s a coordinated effort by both npcs and players. Zhaitan will try to take to the sky again and again, but we need to force him back down with cannons. He’ll send waves of risens to try to destroy our cannons which we have to protect. Once Zhaitan is hurt, he’ll have to land temporarily but at different locations in Orr, where players need to be there to do damage. I do like your idea of using airships in this event. We can have some players take to the sky in airships and use their range weapons to shoot him. The fight will be both in the sky and on the ground. That would be epic. The whole point is the final battle with Zhaitan should be a world event which involves key nps (the crew from Destiny’s Edge) and players from all of tyria coming together to defeat him.
As much as I’d like to see a better Zhaitan fight (or Jormag, or Kralkatorrik, etc.) mechanically, I doubt you ever see it as a big open world event. There’s only one Zhaitan. He’ll never be out in the open world where he’d have to respawn etc. I don’t think they’d do that with any of the true Elder Dragons. And I’m ok with that.
You don’t have to make it an open world event to make it more interesting or “epic” or whatever you want it to be. Just add cooler mechanics.
