Guild Wars 2

DarcShriek.5829:

So let me get this straight, you think the pact should have let everyone in Lion’s Arch die so they could go off and fight Primordus, who isn’t even on the surface. Or Bubble, who’s gods know where in the ocean? Or Jormag, who’s way up north in the mountains?

Lol, no. I’m not questioning why the Orders aren’t attacking the dragons, I’m questioning why ArenaNet has chosen to bring in a new dragon. I see great potential in it, and I hope they use the idea for good reasons.

I understand that Scarlet was more important, but that’s exactly it. I’m hoping Scarlet and Mordremoth’s supposed return will distract the Orders, or at least lead to more chaos, war, struggle.

Primarily, I want there to be a reason why Anet is introducing a new dragon rather than letting us fight the other ones. I really hope they’ll take the idea and expand it, make all the dragons a problem rather than just Mordremoth (as was the case with Zhaitan in the Personal Story). Because Mordremoth is being introduced through the Living World, I really hope Anet will implement the dragon into the whole world rather than just building a single storyline with a single dragon.

Captain Vanguard brings up a good question, which is: how many Elder Dragons are there? Is Mordremoth the last dragon to awaken?

Whether Mordremoth is the last dragon or not, the ending to this first season of LS has severe implications. At first, I found it strange that Anet should awaken another dragon instead of moving the game toward the other Elder Dragons. After all, shouldn’t the Orders and the players be focused on fighting the dragons they already know exist?

But, when I think about it, this adds a whole new dynamic to the Elder Dragon conquest. As of now, there is a rough stalemate between the “good” races of Tyria and the Elder Dragons. Now, with another dragon present, the balance is disrupted. Although Zhaitan is dead, his armies still linger, and they still possess the ability to string body parts together into Risen Abominations.

This ending to the LS has great potential in completely altering the mechanics of the GW2 world and the struggle with the Elder Dragons. I really hope to see the Elder Dragons become a stronger, united presence which poses a serious threat to the future of Tyria.
