Guild Wars 2

Does anyone else feel like Anet has just abandoned doing anything with the game to ‘farm’ us for money with the Gem Store? They are constantly making new stuff for the Gem Store, admittedly pretty neat stuff, but we haven’t seen a single thing done with the dragons in two years. The lieutenants are a joke who fly around senselessly while we stand around waiting for them to land like a flock of ravens circling a corpse.

Dragons in fantasy tend to DO things….

Let’s start with Tolkien. Dragons practically wiped out the Dwarven race. Did burn Dale to the ground (Dwarf capital of that land). And randomly flew around eating villages.

DnD took dragons seriously.

Skyrim dragons were a serious problem, especially if you played using Open Cities mod.

Song of Ice & Fire dedicates pages to the fact that dragons melt cities and we read books worth about one particular city that got melted. Oh and it was the size of a football field and half again.

Harry Potter had Dragons. They actually did things.

Besides Guild Wars 2 NPCs having the personality of doors it really seems as though Anet is again out to do absolutely nothing with its world.

We’ve never been threatened by the Dragons at any time in this game. Ever. The ones that exist are like rain storms that pass by on occasion. We cleverly set buckets underneath them as they fly by and catch the fallen-adventures’ trinkets that come off them as they pass by.

Does anyone think we’re ever going to get a proper dragon threat or is this game doomed to stasis and recycled content?

It’s there in the game if you look for it. Through the personal story you were shown how the minor races were facing extinction from the dragon. The world maps are full of the same as well, as are dungeons like HoTW. Zaitan nearly destroyed a major city and fills most of the personal story. At the start of LS1, everyone was asking for something other than more dragon minions, and we got something different. Now we’re in LS2 and an Elder Dragon is beginning to show some threat so you’ll just have to keep watching.

So far mordemoth has destroyed atleast 2 waypoints. Imagine having to run everywhere if he gets them all. It’s the most effective way to threaten me personally. Walking, right when the waypoint price is cheap enough to not care due to inflation.

Gee, I thought Modremoth was threatening Tyria as we speak!
