Guild Wars 2

Dragon’s Watch? Unless this is just a major grammar failure, it means we are “employed” or otherwise in league with a Dragon. Why would we suddenly be working for the very creatures we are set to destroy? The name highly suggests we are now a dragon minion! This is HORRIBLE.

My guess is they meant it more along the lines of Dragon Watch (or even Dragons Watch) which would imply that we are the group watching out for a dealing with Dragons. This is really going to make it hard to really enjoy the new story. So sad…

Nah man Dragon’s Watch. Meaning the dragons gotta watch out for us yeaaaaaboiiiii

It is a grammar issue. The possessive is not being used properly here.

The name was the least bad-sounding option of the choices we got to vote for. It is what it is. The lesser of the 3-4 evils, in my opinion.

I suggested that they make it Dragon’s Bane instead of Dragon’s Watch. IMO that makes more sense.

I actually liked the mention of Fates Razor, but then was sad when my character denied it.

Exactly! The name itself isn’t bad, except for the grammar. Frankly the grammar mistake here distracts from everything else and makes the writers look like they failed 9th grade English. A real shame since Anet has such a wonderful team. hopefully it is corrected since it is such an integral part of the future of the game.

I really don’t want to go down in history as the leader of a guild that professed to be dragon minions.

What’s the point of using [SPOILER] is you are doing it on the very title? Can you please change it? Thanks!

There is no spoiler here. It mentions the name given to the new guild that replaces Destiny’s Edge. The name was public on the website for months and is mentioned in the very first scene of the story. It has also been openly discussed by Anet when they had us vote on it.

The subject itself has nothing to do with the story unfolding, but brings out the fact that a mistake in the grammar of the name (improper possessive usage) changes the meaning to one very inappropriate.

No Spoiler mentioned at all in the title, or really in the thread at all.

Think about it though, what else has the ability to take down a dragon, besides another dragon? You’re also forgetting Glint’s egg. You know, the one pooped out BY a dragon?

It’s a spoiler. Some people, like me avoided all that stuff in order to enjoy the story unspoiled. Luckily for me, I played it before you posted.

I coughed loudly every time the new guild name was mentioned during the story, so I didn’t have to hear it. I still think we should have been Rytlock’s Roughnecks.

Well to be fair, there is still Glint’s Egg. So more or less likely that would be the ONLY dragon we are working for.

There was a vote on this before hand

Also I would prefer to do more than watch the dragons.

Yes, between three not very good options.

Well in french it’s “Gardiens de l’Eternité” which means “Guardians of Eternity”. That’s way cooler than “Dragon’s Watch” and fits well with my main who’s a Guardian.

How…how is this a spoiler? It’s a name. That’s it. Do you think that if this were revealed in a movie, that the audience would gasp or cheer the name when it was announced. I fail to see how this is in anyway a spoiler.

Here are some things that are equally “spoilers”:
