[SPOILERS] Season 2 Finale [merged]
Now that this revelation is out of the way, they can finally complete DE2.0 or whatever we call them now.
Just in case you missed it:
Not unsurprisingly, Canach will round them off.
I think it kinda reveals too much about how the future story will play out, but Canach now, presumably, has plot armor.
Bottom Left: Canach being threatened by an angry mob (along with Canach’s voice in video).
Top: “DE2.0” 6 members, all 5 current races represented.
Bottom Right: Close up of “DE2.0” member clearly showing Canach’s shield, pauldron, and sword.

“We come from the jungle dragon cause my dream said so!” Sigh.
The boss battle looked and sounded good, but was annoying gameplay wise, even more so when trying to get the achievements.
Caithe runs off with the egg…again.
The cutscenes at the end were the best part really…and even then it’s all stuff I kinda saw coming.
I finally got around to do this LS. I enjoyed the gameplay. That shadow dragon fight was enjoyable.
However I did not like the ending where the Pact lost a large chuck of airships. I am going to guess the Pact lost 33-50% of their total air fleet in that one battle. How can this be replaced? How many years will this take?
The Pact lost their only opportunity to take the initiative. From now on they have to play defensive.
The worst part is the Pact did literally zero damage to the enemy. This was a much worst defeat than Midway, if you get my drift.
Now if the Pact is portraited as Zergs, I won’t have a problem. We just keep attacking and attacking, trying and trying, until the dragon dies. But the Pact isn’t zerg.
Once again the Pact lost 33-50% of their total air fleet in 5 minutes. In just 5 minutes all that the Pact (the players) worked toward over the past 2.5 years has been scattered. How many years will it take to replace these losses? Can the Pact even hold back the dragons until these can be replaced?
Now I am all for huge turning points in a story. But things like these make the story unbelievable. It also makes all our progresses in the past (helping the Pact gather materials, give them time to build weapons) all pointless.
If you read LOTR, you know that the core forces of the good guys never got destroyed. They always survive somehow to fight another day.
So what should the story have been? How about Trahearne ordering the fleet to retreat, while he stays behind to fight. He got maybe 66% of the fleet out before he himself was overwhelmed in a heroic death. That way the Pact will live to fight another day. And Trahearne (which no one likes) gets removed from the story and so a new leader can replace him.

No worries. They’ll be written out of this mess the same way they were written into it.
Because signal flares are required to light signal fires, and those signal fires are visible even when everything else around them is burning, and because to heck with all this easily defensible terrain in which the approaching enemy is forced to take on the role of the proverbial sitting duck, let’s just bunch up behind our gates and wait for the enemy to burst through one and then abandon that gate and run to the other gate, because why not, because the plan is to let the enemy come in and trash the place before we call in a massive air strike which will bombard the camp but won’t hurt anyone on our side.
Here, though, I’ll provide an out for the Pact.
The Pact, in fact, wasn’t destroyed. In fact, the Pact is only down about 5% (or less) of its total forces. But how can this be? Simple! What we saw was not the destruction of the entire Pact fleet. What we saw was the destruction of a scouting party, yeah, that’s the ticket, a preliminary reconnaissance force, sent in to scout the area and test the dragon’s defenses. The vast, overwhelming, well-coordinated and formidable bulk of the fleet is still well out of range awaiting reports/intel/telemetry/whatever. Oh, and that wasn’t really Trahearne giving the order to fire, but some other sylvari who happened to look and sound a lot like Trahearne, who got a little ahead of himself and went all Kilroy Stonekin.
There. Saved.
