Guild Wars 2

are we going after primordus next since taimi says primordus is active and rytlock says something like into the flames?

It’s questionable. I think they’re intentionally dropping hints towards each elder dragon to keep people guessing until further on in the living story.

However I don’t think Kralk is guaranteed just because of the egg. I think that’s a long process that they plan on developing and leaving Kralk for later on. Who knows though. I would much rather see what they have planned with Primordus than anything to do with Jormag or snowy mountains though.

They might add new events between LW3 parts like ley line and bandit events but now we fight against destroyers.

During Eir’s funeral, a norn – Rune – mentions that the icebrood are becoming more problematic – more active and widely spread out.

So it’s possible we could get events for icebrood (and maybe even branded given the Shatterer revamp – should they tie lore into that – and the Blazeridge ley line events).

Why we cant have multiple dragons to be active at once? It gets boring.. they were supposed to be a threat. So far we been slaughtering them 1 by 1. Would be nice to get a change and fight on multiple fronts for once.

Nothing says we can’t – in fact, if not for the players’ actions in the Personal Story there’s a good chance that Jormag would have led a major assault on Lion’s Arch as well (TBH, Jormag is the one dealt with the most out of all Elder Dragons – we only go after Zhaitan because his preparations were ignored unlike Jormag’s).

And one of the major theories about S3 is that Jormag and Kralkatorrik will also become active.

The sole reason of S3 could also be that they want to show how dangerous the world does become, in that they reintroduce friends and foes from all sides, leading up to an enemy that takes the center in an expansion.

However that doesn’t even have to be the case.
Who says that expansions always have to be about a dragon.

What if they get us into a position, in which our victory is the sole purpose of survival?
All fronts start acting up and we have to fight back with dwindling reccources, till we somehow are able to regain our footing, slaying some powerfull inner foes in the process.

Yes, the dragons are the big bad (presumebly), however they don’t have to be the sole focus. The world is too interesting for that in my opinion.

Kralk should be a part of some introduction to Elona. If Anet doesn’t get that right, I’m going to be very frustrated.

Kralkatorrik is nowhere near Elona, technically. Last we saw him was northern Crystal Desert. A whole desert and desolation away from Elona.

Konig Des Todes.2086:

Kralkatorrik is nowhere near Elona, technically. Last we saw him was northern Crystal Desert. A whole desert and desolation away from Elona.

I fail to see why that matters.. Not that hard to imagine Kralk, in stirring up would decide to reign in our parade to Elona given the close proximity to whatever path we may so choose unless it be by Sea. Especially since, if you can brave the Desolation you can reach Elona in terms of region. Obviously game mechanics and invisible walls prevent this.

Given that travel through the Crystal Desert is considered foolhardy, and the Desolation is literally a deadly wasteland that got flooded, travel by sea is the primary and only reliable method of travel – except via asura gate, which would be even more circumventing Kralkatorrik.

It’s a larger case of “if you can brave the Desolation” given that the Desolation – until Joko dammed it – was literally lethal to travelers. The only way we could traverse it in GW1 was because Joko told us how: to tame the junundu wurms. Your average person would be unable to do this, as well as not knowing to do so. After all, prior to Nightfall the only individual to tame the wurms was Joko himself (so he claims).

And after Joko dammed it, it is literally traveling through the heart of a tyrant’s domain.

The only way to reach Elona by land is via north of Vabbi – going well east of Ascalon and then south. But we don’t know what lies that way, truth be told.
