I find it too dragged for me. We keep fighting branded since GW2 core game , PoF ...until now, but still haven't do anything with Krakatorik.I already got bored of him...

My prediction is we're gonna kill Krakatorik in this living world together with joko to make a fresh start with others dragons. (probably Jormag or DSD)

Spoiler Alert

Well, isn't the issue that if we kill Kralkatorrik Tyria gets destroyed? Hence why we stopped Balthazar from killing it in PoF?

We obviously won't. There'd be no point in going through all the hassle of opposing a human god, getting killed and returning from the dead to kill him in turn, if we were going to do what he originally planned.

You can kill Kralk without destroying Tyria, you just need something to balance out the magic flow which is probably where Aurene comes in play. The issue isn't even destroying Tyria at this point, since Aurene absorbing Kralks energy will balance out the flow, the issue is being able to take on Kralk with the energy of a god as well as 3 elder dragons since Balthazar did absorb some of Primordius. Not to mention everything we throw at him at this point will probably just tickle him and he can turn us into branded puppets as a play thing to amuse himself later on.

I don't find this convincing. Blathazar sought to absorb that magic, too. Where's the difference?

Balthazar would have take the magic out of the circulation. If aurene took it would continue being part of the natural cycle.

Wasn't the point to replace the Elder Dragons with powerful but less predatory beings? Wouldn't replacing a dragon with a dragon defeat that purpose? Unless we're going to believe that making Aurene an eternal force of nature won't lead to anything bad down the line. Eternity is a long time and absolute power corrupts absolutely. It just doesn't sound like a feasible long term plan. We're just going to replace a dragon as old as the planet itself with a newborn dragon cos it's not as viscous right now.

We are not, but it will be somehow killed and his power will pass to aurene.

Citation needed.

Typical Vigil, only thing they can think of is kill kill kill. Look what that brought us so far. An instable world, escaping leyline energy running wild, dragon minions hybrids. Perhaps it is time to listen to the priory and find ways to put them back to sleep!

It was my fault that somehow made this thread misleading. i mean, Are we gonna do something with Krakatorik in this living world .. and then move to another story arc. either Jormag or DsD.

I didn't want to involve with the lore at all , my point is whether we will get another Krakatorik centric in new xpac or will it end in this living world.

I dont think they would make the living story kralk heavy and then release a kralk expansion. I think we are experiencing elder dragon fatigue. Having a depowered god thrown in was a nice change or pace but still terribly similar.

Zhaitan, Mordramoth, Balthazar, and Joko are all big bads with assimilated armies and the other dragons dont change that formula.

Also, a hero that killed not 1 but 6 elder dragons, on top of a god and lich, is stretching it.

Something needs to change.

We need to fight a planet in the next expansion. A living, sentient, hungry planet.

So Ego the living planet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ego_the_Living_Planet or Mogo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mogo

But in all seriousness I think we are more likely to ge after Joko (and hopefuly kill him.)

I agree that we're most likely to end Joko in LS4 and I was actually thinking of the brother planets from Dead Space 3. They always seemed more terrifying than Ego/Mogo.

I bet we will hook Aurene up to a giant magic vacuum, then we will puncture Kralk with some plot maguffin (maybe even using Joko's headgear) and she will vacuum the magic out of him until he's a a crystal tadpole
