Derp derpity derp
I think I’ve commented on this before, but the dragons currently are way too static, and they don’t have to be. The only one with a slight illusion of movement is the Claw of Jormag, which sadly follows a very predictable pattern. I don’t think it would require too much work to have a dragon change position more often. He doesn’t have to use pathfinding, he can simply snap to different angles. At least try and encourage players to turn in a different direction from time to time.
For example, The Claw of Jormag moves to a different position only once. Why not have a dragon boss move to four different positions, so he can attack the players from every angle? Then randomize it, so players have to pay attention where he is.

1.Ok, first we’ll talk about the less important suggestion: Mounts. Now, I know, we have fast travel! We can just walk! I know that. But, really guys? Who DOESNT atleast LIKE mounts?
I Like mounts.. just this game doesn’t need it. I love Lightsabers.. but that doesn’t mean that this game should have it.
I mean, imagine riding a ghost horse! Or maybe a River Drake! Maybe even a CAR? Not a modern day one, maybe like a car you can buy from the Iron Legion? And we cant forget about flying mounts, maybe we could ride like… a little mini Shatterer? Or a mini Zhaitan? Maybe even a GIANT dragon? (For a lot of gold, that is)
So only goldfarmers could have it.. sounds great!
And yes, I KNOW about the riding broom and stuff, but THOSE don’t have speed boosts. It even says it in the item description!
Sooo YOU WANT go faster to a place.. use waypoints.. fastets than that, nothing.
2. Now, onto the second more important suggestion. We all remember the Zhaitan fight, right? How dissapointing it was? I mean, the dungeon was good, but the Zhaitan fight… just….
Agree on that.. but like you said, the entire dungeon was pretty epic.. i’m not even mad..
And for stuff like the Shatterer… he is just, not a challenge. We can all stand to the side of him and kill him without really anyone dying (Except for a few people who get to close.) My suggestion is, make it so the mini dragons can maybe… turn! Or have an ALL AROUND attack, so we can’t just camp at one side. And for the elder dragon fights… (Now I’m pretty sure Jormag is an elder dragon, but I might not be right. So bare with me on this) Don’t make it a 5 man dungeon and make it easy for us! Do something like, the Mad Kings Clock Tower! That had a gate with tons of people behind it and when it was ready, we could go in! Now, I know, it would be a TERRIBLY long queue time for any other groups, so give an idea for what else they could do!
Dragons need a completly remake… There must be a way to fail that events… and make everything worse for everyone..

Give me time to reply to you on that…

Million threads on mounts, all that one can say about them has pretty much been said.
Riding minions of the dragons? Yeah, the minions of emblems of corruption sounds just like a horse. Totally safe, I bet. Like, no chance of you being killed in your sleep at all. Or you slowly turning evil, a la Diablo 2.
And flying mounts won’t work with the way the game is designed. Adding flying mounts after designing the content is going to result in glitches and skipping content.

While Jormag is an Elder Dragon, the fight is against Claw of Jormag, who is one of Jormag’s lieutenants. It even says so in the event descriptions.
Granted, the Dragon fights are rather simple, other than Jormag. They could make those additions to the others. Or at least make things like the Megalaser much more destructible and the consequences of it happening much more severe.
The thing is, ANet has constantly been saying that the dungeons are the place for the tough content that requires coordination. And that makes sense: It’s very hard to design content that is difficult enough for a massive group of players, while at the same time not resorting to crappy mechanics to ramp up the difficulty.
1. If you have ideas on mounts, for w/e reason, look on the first page. A whole thread of kitten kittens discussing furry animals and others not seeing why people are so married to them.
2. Yeah, dragon fights are pretty lame. I think the problem comes down to not having such a diseased ritten animation running through a zone and blasting people, if you notice everything’s feet(paws, w/e) touches the ground nicely, excluding some armor pieces clipping isn’t too bad. If they allow something like The Shatterer to run around the dragon brand who knows how many areas he would phase through. I agree, dungeons or any instance should be harder than open pve content but world events like the dragons should be an exception. They cannot fail atm, which hardly feels like a world event. World events are supposed to be map changing, and never once has the maw failed, or the jungle wurm, or any dragon. They are just too easy because there are no requirements throughout the event. Just cut him/her down.

I do think that the lowest level ones should be pretty simple when it comes to the monsters. Shadow Behemoth, Jungle Worm, Fire Elemental, should all go down relatively easily without too much strategy because the majority of the people in those areas will be new to the game and they won’t have as much experience in dealing with these larger bosses, but as the game moves on to the lvl 40, 60, and 80 ranges they should definitely be hard. Now I’m not saying they’ll fall apart at the tip of a hat, or make explorable mode dungeons look like a cake walk, but I definitely think they should require a bit more than they do now.
