She is called the Water dragon because it's **assumed** that she manipulates water to shape her tentacled minions. But, what if Bubbles actually can twist _anything_ to create tentacles? Or she controls currents and twisted those currents into tentacle-like structures? The name Deep-Sea Dragon comes solely because she is located in the Deep-Sea, not because of any **assumed** abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the teaser picture we got for Shing Jea, I think this is unlikely. Didn't look like a ruin submerged in the sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrigginPaco.4178 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I don't get what the OP is insinuating with that opener, it seems fairly grabastic. It's a new expack in a post-mount GW2. I'm sure we'll get one or two from the story, but surely they've learned that they can't rely on mounts - or even the mastery system forever. I'm aware of the apprehension though, and I do acknowledge where it comes from: a sentiment of 'more of the same'. I just don't see that being the direction they're taking, particularly from what we've experienced in the recent months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This in and of itself is a safe and boring choice. Who can blame them? Entertainment media companies these days rarely do anything original anymore. Why should features be unique and genre challenging when they can't even get out of the wayback machine plotwise. Here's to the next few years of going places we've already seen in GW1, more Star Wars and Marvel, and generally no new ideas.

Sure I've seen some posts asking to go somewhere else, but the percentage was always for Cantha. That's being fair. Vayne, you have to admit yourself though that less than 10% of the people that even play the game post on the forums, so almost anything posted on here should be taken with a grain of salt when it comes to this kind of stuff as no one knows what the other 90% want...unless surveys are sent to 50% of the 90% and you get a 25% response rate, then you have some idea, otherwise it's still the minority leading the majority.

I would suspect the vast majority of people who don't post here don't know what Cantha is or don't think deeply enough about their gaming experience to decide what should or shouldn't come next though. The most vested people tend to post on forums. Sure it's a minority of the game. But a minority of the game is going to be asking for a specific location. Even Guild Wars 1 players don't necessarily remember a game they haven't played for 8 years, unless they were really into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
