This is just a theory thread about GW2. If you have finished GW:EN then you would know about the Dragon that starts to awaken in the Destroyers lair after killing the Great Destroyer, it is well hinted that this would be a feature for GW2. Now there is also some Dragon like figure frozen at the bottom of Drakkar (Dragon) Lake, is there any other evidence that there could be other Dragon like figured hidden around various parts of the 3 GW chapters that could perhaps awaken? This would be a cool easter egg hunt for people interested, thoughts?

This is the dragon's back.

Enjoy fighting that thing...

Oh and yeah, it's much bigger than the thing under Drakkar Lake. I mean holy $&@#!

stiffler · Sep 12, 2007, 06:21 AM // 06:21

Sweet, I wonder just how many there are.

Dragon's Gullet anyone? A currently more useless area there is not.

what about the baby dragon in Glint's Challenge? I'm sure that's going to be a huge part of GW2's story.

Hehe.. I noticed that Figure at the bottom of Drakkar Lake, but I wasn't 100% positive about it, since i couldn't make it out too well, I guess it is a dragon afterall. ^^ It's all about the dragons in Guild Wars! Eh.

the fact that we never get to travel the oceans means that anet is hiding something!!! like.....more water beasties like the one in drakkar lake... and all those bones in crystal desert which was once all ocean backs up this crazy theory

forgot to mention, some where i heared it was mention that the jade sea was returning to be an actual sea and a few waters springs were found, which means even more beasties we get to killed like the ones that where stuck in the jade

Obviously the Great Destroyer IS the dragon that wakes up. Hence all the destruction that happens over the next 250 years. You just killed the main source of Destroyers. Clearly the GW2 story will be "OSHI THEY DIDN'T KILL IT!?!"

EternalTempest · Sep 12, 2007, 07:21 AM // 07:21

All that says is dragons (huge) existing long ago.
The one in the cut scene only looks to be as twice as big as glint.

That and the staff of orr is know in Livia hands who goal is to bring "peace" to krytia...

If you're familiar with TexMod you can take the texture off of the thing under drakkar lake, and the texture off the dragon thing.
I saw someone in the modding thread who took their monk's whole 3d model into 3ds max(?) or some other 3d editing thing.
Maybe they could get the dragon or drakkar lake thing

Some hints regarding "Dragons" in GW2:

1. Phinney or Strain gave an example of a "Dragon destroying a bridge" that you can repair or fight the dragon before in the GW2 preview in PC Gamer.

2. The red stone dragon awaking at the end of GW:EN

3. Glint's Challenge with the Baby Dragon you have to save from the Destroyer

I would like to point out that the Prophecies storyline was basically one of misread Prophecies. After all, it was our heroes that helped the Lich in the end! Because they did not know better.

I tell you, the destroyers are nice guys that want to save us from the dragon menace that we help to hatch by protecting this baby dragon in the Challenge Mission. Or maybe there will be good dragons and bad dragons, who knows.

As GW's storyline is always awfully "inspired" by pop culture, I can imagine a world threatend by dragons like in "Reign of Fire". Dragons and/or Destroyers would be the common enemy of the 5 different factions that wage war against each other as well.

Don't forget Kuunivang in Factions...

Hmm sounds like GW2 and AION may have more in common ... dragons vs angels vs demons [ AION] in an open world where the community will evolve the world based on decisions, dragons[npc] will help balance the world there... GW2 as its been stated/qouted will involve some similar aspects of community involvement other playable races which will probably war with each other and now a bit of hype that dragons will make a comeback ... either way im lookin forward to both ... reason i point this out is bc its stated in AION dragons will help balance incase the community favors one race over another i can see them trying to implement a similar feature in gw2

hyro yamaguchi · Sep 12, 2007, 01:12 PM // 13:12

Glint anyone? Caretaker of the world and such, so good dragons wouldn't be such a weird idea. In the light of that fact I'm putting my money on a story that derives from the very creation of Tyria. (perhaps even the great giants or something)

Etta · Sep 12, 2007, 01:15 PM // 13:15

How do we suppose to fight those big giant lizards then? 250 years from now the Azuras probably and holpfully come up with a new design for the golem. It'll be like Godzilla VS Transformer.

You might actually be on to something there dude.

Moral55 · Sep 12, 2007, 01:26 PM // 13:26

Also, theres a quest in NF where a rock Goren liked hatches into a baby dragon.

stiffler · Sep 12, 2007, 01:28 PM // 13:28

So whats the history of the Dragon Festival in Cantha then? Why is it a "Dragon" festival?
