Please. Please stop asking for dragons....
I hope her head is torn from her shoulders by a newly-awakened Elder Dragon.
Decapitation by dragon is about the only interesting way she can contribute to the Living Story.
Actaully all of those DO NOT TOUCH towers Scarlet put everywhere are there for her to contorl the magic flowing / moving around Tyria.
Being able to control the magic flow means that she will be able to ‘starve’ whichever dragon(s) she chooses. The elder dragons will be ‘corupted’ by Scarlet. Reduced from primal forces of nature all the way down to doing the biding of a Sylvari.
As a player you will be torn between killing Scarlet, ending the slavery of the dragons and endangering the world with the threat of angry uncontrolable elder dragons or bowing before the almighty sylvari known as Scarlet Briar. There will be no way to ‘retain’ control of the magic once Scarlet is gone.
Or you will destroy them and she will jaunt off talking about how it was “all a part of the plan.”
…or we’ll no doubt have to suffer Scarlet riding them into battle. Guaranteed.
its too late.
THE DO NOT TOUCH magic conducting ley line rods are basically dragon attractors via magic current magnifying science mechanisms. We will get dragon fights as promised but it would be because Scarlet did it.
Scarlet will be the one to successfully mind control Kralkatorrik by herself, where Destiny’s Edge and snaff failed via plot anti heroism armor making her a super cool shin megami tensei heroine role model for 15 year old girls.
You heard it here folks.
Maybe she’ll kitten with Shatterer and make it a Tequatl tier boss fight.
I’d rather not see dragons as part of the LS because the LS content is nearly always temporary. For Zhaitan, we got a nice, long personal story to defeat him. While it’s not replayable on the same character, it is available to all players no matter when they start GW2. I feel the dragons are central to the GW2 experience and their story should be available to all players.
The LS could lead into a story that creates the story for taking out the next dragon. For example, Scarlet’s tampering with dragon energy makes Jormag become more aggressive than he usually is. Thus, the next personal story shows the increased activity of Jormag and the hero’s journey to stop him.
I am thinking that if she does wake up an elder dragon, it will go Hive Mind Vs. Kendra on her. (hopefully?)
