Please note: I realize it's a few months away, but if they want to do something memorable then they'd have to start working on it now.

In 2006, the original Dragon Festival centered around the then unknown enemies of GW:Nightfall crashing the festivities and giving everyone a taste of the new and upcoming chapter of GW.
In 2007, Dragon Festival centered around reenacting the heroics from DF '06. It was pretty fun, and let us all have some great challenges and games aside from the standard fare of the Shing Jea Boardwalk.

So, What to do for Dragon Fest '08? As it stands, this is really the only festival that isn't static; every year it has been presented, it's different. As opposed to Wintersday, Halloween, or CNY which have, at best, been reskins of past festivals with somewhat different items (not to say there is anything wrong with that

).

I propose this year that they make it a true Dragon Festival. Start it like it was last year, a rehash of the reenactment thing, lull everyone into a false sense of boredom, and then have Primordious come. Possibly, they could explain how Emperor Kisu falls from power (what better way then to have the Emperor of the Empire of the Dragon end his reign than by being killed by a Dragon?? I mean honestly!) and explain how His/Her son becomes the Emperor.

Anyhoo, just a thought I had today. What do you guys think? It would be a nice way to tie in the two games which right now is a factor that seems to be lacking.

The way GW:EN ends makes me think the dragons aren't going to show up right away. They seem more cunning and manipulative then that.
That said, there are still the reminant of the destroyers wandering around mindlessly without the control of the great destroyer to keep them in check. I think them showing up as a sort of advertisement for GW:EN is more likely then a GW2 sneak peak.

it would be cool if they did something like the BMP with the emperor. offer some special weapons as rewards or something like that.

I like the idea, dragons or destroyers, I dont care which, but a little something would be nice.
And I like the idea of lulling us into a false sense of boredom. Excalent idea. Then BOOM!!! all the suden everyone in town is dead.
Could be great fun!

They should show off a huge enemy at the end of the final "finale" and then say this is just a level 10 enemy or something like that just to get reactions.

Yeah, but the story is written by Arenanet, so the dragons might awaken next Tuesday as well.

The main issue is that the holidays have gotten kind of boring since it's always the same stuff. Don't get me wrong, I love attending them and I have a lot of fun at them, but it would be nice if they did somehing new, especially as a finale surprise.
