Raiders, What are your thoughts on the new Aetherblade CM?

Yeah, played through the whole thing, it felt like a proper LS episode and was bookended quite nicely. I enjoyed the additional notes and exposition of previous unnamed characters.

Do the Saltspray dragons have some sort of connection with Soo-Won? They seem to have a connection to water, call Soo-Won, mother dragon.

The one that comes to mind is adding Mordremoth to one of the books during Scarlets secret room so the name Mordremoth doesn’t come out of left field from Kasmeer.

Yeah I’m not sure if they will add a brand new profession. Is it a scholar, adventurer or soldier? Is it none of these and a brand new selection? What your asking might be better as an elite spec, possibly with a focus turning into a martial weapon as they are kinda fist like.

Big yes to Largos cities, hell, I’ll even take ruins.

What do you think Soo-Won’s second domain is?

Yeah couple things to note was that Kralkatorrik’s domain remained the same. Primordus too. Jormag’s changed to Frost and Deception. While Mordremoth went to Vine and Mind, which changed from the Kralkatorrik encounter from Root and Madness.

I still find it a bit interesting that some of the domains have switched names during certain encounters and again seems to be the case with the DE meta as well. I was hoping to sift through the wiki and analyze some of the creature attacks to see if they give any more clues on the more elusive domains.

Yeah Aurene does have a lot of healing aspects, just given by the dialogue between Caithe and Ryland during DRMs. Perhaps Soo-Won is more ancient way of healing.

Guess that makes sense, I do wonder if we will get a more elaborate treatise from Taimi on the Elder Dragons and their magic, possibly in book form explaining what some of these influences are. Some are self explanatory, while others are a bit more vague.

Now that EoD has been out for over a month, what does everyone think Soo-Won’s second sphere of influence is. It’s pretty clear her primary domain is water, what do you think the second is? Given that the DE meta shows each of the dragon champions with both of their sphere names in the title aka Champion of Crystal and Fury etc. are there clues anywhere to what this domain is?

Weird, so the only power Kuunavang got from Soo-Won was telepathy and her scales being blue.

Wasn’t Kuunavang’s ability to change into human form with water, an ability that Soo-Won gave her?

Yeah, I thought this was a great inclusion to the expansion, as well, it’s nice that it kinda book ends the Elder dragon story as well.

I feel like the problem certain people have is that they want everything in an organized cookie cutter story with a season or expansion. “ I want a Norn expansion with Jormag” or “I want an Asura expansion with Primordus” it’s makes the story and plot feel very inorganic and too neat. Who cares if there is charr in the Jormag plot. Does Bangar look over at Jormag and the Shiverpeaks and think that’s the Norns dragon that’s the old norn lands, we can’t go over there because that’s the norm expansion content. I think after the personal story and especially after Heart of Thorns, the devs didn’t want to create a predictable, inorganic story, where’s it’s the Asura expansion or the Charr expansion. If we look at the personal story to EoD as the Elder Dragon story it makes it feel more appealing, rather then blocking things into these neat little expansion packages.

So I recently got the turtle and the trick with the DE meta is getting the Jade buffs and the 10% pre event buff. You cannot beat this meta without it period. if your hoping to just jump in as the meta starts you will fail. Does it respect players time? No, no it doesn’t.

Yeah, this needs to be changed imo. I don’t think it’s fair to lock two profession elite spec weapons behind the DE meta.

God, am I ever…

Don’t worry CM strikes are coming. I imagine the same with LWS6 as well.

Hey Josh, is it possible for the vindicator and virtuoso’s elite specialization weapon collection to be altered to match the other elite spec weapons. These are the only two elite specs that require the Dragon’s End Meta as well.

Yeah, We had a well organized group got her to 6% had the tail pop up some several times in the last 20. I’m tired and run down of this meta, I don’t plan to go back until there is changes…

What’s unfortunate as well is that every elite spec has to metas for two maps to complete their weapon, while the Vindy and Virto have their elite spec weapon gated behind this meta event as well.

My issue is this, if I decide to enter a map meta and then add a bunch of time to the event by activating the green and not completing them and doing this on purpose… That’s a problem…

Would be interesting if there was some sort of parasitic aquatic creature similar to chak down there feeding on Soo-Won or her energy, and in a way creating this sort of water dragon minion.
