Guild Wars 2

Wow…this is a lot to take in.

So…just to summarize the situation thus far…I mean, what I think is going on with the dragons and everything…

In terms of elements:
Zhaitain – Death (Decay)
Mordremoth – Life (Growth)
Primordius – Fire
Jormag – Air (or in this case, storms? Ice storms?)
Kralkatorrik – Earth (Rock, crystal)
Bubbles (or Aqualung or whatever the ocean dragon’s name will be) – Water, obviously

Now with Zhaitan out of the way, that means each race has a unique foe in the form of a dragon:
Mordremoth – Sylvari
Primordius – Asura
Jormag – Norn
Kralkatorrik – Charr
Krakenstein (or whatever) – Human (not Divinity’s Reach specifically, but Cantha. There’s no telling was sort of Sea Horrors are torturing that place. On the other hand, I think Divinity’s Reach IS by the sea, isn’t it?)

For now, I going to just assume the main story will play out accordingly based on each races’ foe, possibly with some idiot (like Scarlet) accidentally or intentionally releasing some sealed evil in a can or draconic plot. And of course you have to fix it and save the world. What I don’t understand is, why the dragons go through the cycle of absorbing and releasing magic in the first place? It seems like a pointless endeavor destroying the world only to let it breathe again eventually. What force hates Tyria so much that they planted the dragons to create this artificial torture chamber?

And then there’s this new…pseudo-guild with Rox, Braham, and the others…If you compare them with the original Destiny’s Edge, you start to see some parallels:

Snaff – Marjory (“mentor” to Kasmeer)
Zojja – Kasmeer (“apprentice” to Marjory)
Caithe – I’m going to agree with Kyven.7514’s idea. I believe Malyck will play a bigger role and join up with the rest of the kids
Logan, Rytlock, and Eir can be substituted for Braham, Rox, and Taimi (not necessarily in that order)

Considering Snaff’s fate concerning the original Destiny Edge and the near death experience Marjory just went through near the end of this event, her chances don’t look very good, do they? Not to mention, the friction that Rox and Braham are going through concerning her warband seems eerily similar to what was going on with between Logan and Rytlock.

So that’s where I am right now story-wise. Still, I’m worried that I’m reading too much into things? The developers hold all the cards, and the plot twists, so who knows what’ll happen. I do like the way things are going so far, though, and am looking forward to seeing how the Sylvari react to Mordremoth… (sorry if this post is so long. I had to get this off my chest. Thanks!)
