Epic Dragon Battle

Arenanet's Lore and Continuity Designer Ree Soesbee sets up the ingame footage taken from a recent demonstration. The action starts around the 1:20 mark if you want to skip ahead.

The video features a Dragon attack on Hylek (frog-people) territory. You'll see several participation methods. Attack the Dragon directly (not always recommended!), climb into one of the assorted Asura-designed siege weapons, defeat minions of the dragon attacking those weapons, or break down the Dragon's defensive measures.

The battle is a group effort and everyone on the server can pitch in and get rewarded if the battle is successful. You will see this mostly from the perspective of a Sylvari (plant person) engineer player carrying a rifle. The regular gunshots may get annoying, so turn the sound down a bit, but not too far as you'll want to hear the frog-people shouting advice to participants. Some minor footage has been spliced in from other players to give some different views on the dragon's rather impressive entrance.
