Seriously, with no mention of possible future expansions, if we have to confront each and every dragon through the Living World, how long do you think it will take for us to kill all of the Elder Dragons?

We’re already past the second year mark and we’re not that close to killing Mordy. I mean, 4 Living World content patches gave us the tiny zone of Dry Top…. Will it take 3 years per dragon? Cause if that’s the case that will string this games life out to oh, 15 years at that pace. Heck, WoW is on it’s 10th year now and they’re losing a lot of subscribers. Do you think this game will still be alive by the time we get to slay each dragon?

Look at Aion.
Aion has 5 Dragon Lords.
In 5 years they just killed one of them.

Look at WoW.
What stopped Blizzard on feeding their baby for 10 years?
What will stop them from doing so for another 10 years?

And no, they’re not losing a lot of subscribers.
Thanks to their announcement regarding new patch, people who did quit are coming back and resubbing.

Did I ever tell you, the definition, of Insanity?

I wondered the same thing at one point. Since the theme of GW2 is facing the Elder Dragons one would expect that we would defeat them all before the game’s life ends. Unfortunately, the pace of the LS has been exceptionally slow in regards to the dragons and at this rate it’ll be years before we see them all, at which point a lot of people will probably have moved on with their lives or GW2 in general. If we see Mordremoth by, say Feb or March, that will have been 2.5 years for 2 dragons. Extrapolate that and it will probably be another 4 or 5 years before we see them all.

GW1’s total lifespan (until Anet stopped creating new content) was about 5-6 years so it’s possible that we’ll see them all, but will the majority of players care at that point? I don’t have a crystal ball so I can’t really say, but personally I hope that Anet speeds things up a bit and condenses each season a bit instead of dragging them out forever like Season 1.

Maybe we will fight more than one dragon at a time later on, one dragon alone won’t be a big threat after we defeat 2 more (we will have experience/technology to beat them by then).

The question is, will we kill all dragons? I can see a plot twist happen where we actually realize that their cycles are crucial for tyria.

I hope This is the case. Whats is the fun of killing all the dragons in one blow. Its not pokemon. Its will make the story childish. Its better if we get some other interesting characters (not primordal forces without voice). I’m thinking about Palawa Joko, A new Lich lord, return of the gods (to balance the dragons out) etc with stories developing over time.

The dragons are important to Tyria because they keep the magic stable our characters did not realize this yet.
Even if we kill all the dragons we still have other characters like Dhuum and Palawa joko to deal with.

I will happily kill my last dragon when I am a ripe old age and in a nursing home. Then I’ll ask my grandkids to remind me why I’m so excited.

Did we really kill Zhaitan? I’m not sure we did, we brought him down, sure, we defeated him, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that we killed him..
I might be overly suspicious, though.

In due time, all will serve the asura.

I think dragons are the most boring and cliché antagonists in games. For example Zhaitan in the personal story turned out to be a big flappy monster with no personality whatsoever. I’d love if we could go to Elona and deal with Palawa Joko or basically anyone else.

If the whole game is going to be around dragons then its going to be quite a boring and predictable ride… Then again I think at their lame attempt of creating a bad guy (Scarlet)… maybe I prefer boring dragons instead

You can mix them together, there’s no need to oppose dragons and other enemies. For example Kralkatorrik flying to Elona, Palawa Joko being between two fires. You can even add the living story for the reconstruction of Elona once both are eliminated.

Same for Cantha, deep see dragon attacking Cantha, Emperor asking for help, fight it on the ground as a dragon fight underwater is unconceivable. Finally, living story leading to a revolt against the Emperor blablabla.

See? Dragons are not the enemies of GW lore, it all depends on what Anet will do with them.

Maybe we’ll just fly around the Tyria zapping them with that Asura anti dragon cannon season 3, who knows, would be convenient.

Unless we kill them all together with some technology developed at the end of this Chapter and only then realize that by doing that, we killed all Magic in Tyria… bringing the new revamp and balance to the game with new features and that would be an interesting twist.

Nah, what will happen is we’ll finally realize we’re fighting for the wrong side (again) and it’s the dragons we should be teaming up with to stop the Pale Tree from ‘tree-a-forming’ Tyria.

I don’t care tbh, I just want a decent story with side-quests that don’t force Destiny’s Edge 2.0 appearance all the time.

My Ele will hit physically heavy armored warriors with wooden stick still called Staff. Rename Ele to Woodenman/Staffman/Stickman. I would enjoy it and I am so interested how it will work. Maybe there will still be a little magic to grow, enchance Staff to do any piercing dmg.

In order to defeat all the dragons ANet would have to release Cantha and Elona for access to Bubbles and Kralkatorrik. Then they would have to develop the area under the Shiverpeaks and introduce the Dwarves so we can go after Primordus. The Northern Shiverpeaks for Jormag.

What has the White Mantel been doing all this time? What happened with the Mursaat? What’s up the Luxons and Kurzicks? There is so much that GW2 could do, but it doesn’t seem like a lot has been done.
