Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons is a great, if imperfect, third expansion for the ageing MMORPG. It's worth playing even if just as a fond farewell.

There was a lot riding on the return to Cantha in Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons. It's an iconic location steeped in the franchise's history. Fortunately, the latest expansion delivers an experience worthy of the hype. The end of the Dragon Cycle narrative will challenge you, teach you exciting new skills, and leave you feeling content. The story isn't overly long, but there are plenty of activities to keep you busy for many hours around Cantha.
RPG Fan: 80 / 100 by Brian Mackenzie
Though Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons lacks a standout feature, it makes up for this with oodles of quality content and several smaller, well-executed new additions.
Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons Description
Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons is the third major expansion for the 2012 MMORPG Guild Wars 2. The expansion was developed by ArenaNet studio, the same team that produced the main game.
Plot
The expansion offers a new story line, which is set on Cantha - an island region which is home to the oldest human nation Tyria. This place was isolated from the world for 200 years due to a curse. During this time, many ingenious uses for the material known as dragonjade have been discovered, which, combined with a richness in magic, has provided the local communities with access to solutions and technologies unknown nowhere else. However, the dragon cycle that drives development and prosperity is beginning to fade. As a result, Cantha is likely to once again become part of the larger world, but the price for this may be the loss of progress earned through years of isolation.
Mechanics
End of Dragons is a classic add-on that doesn't bring any revolutionary changes and instead focuses on expanding the content of Guild Wars 2. The expansion primarily introduces many new locations and adventures. The project also offers an additional mount in the form of a giant siege turtle. This is the first animal in the game that can be ridden by two players - all previous ones could only be ridden by one character.
The expansion also introduces a new skiff for transporting groups of players, as well as a new fishing mechanic that allows players to earn extra food and participate in special tournaments to determine the best anglers in Tyria.
End of Dragons also offers new elite specialisations for all nine professions, introducing previously unknown gameplay mechanics. There are also fresh strike missions for teams of ten players and a host of additional items, including third-generation legendary weapons.
Technical aspects
Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons can be purchased separately or in a bundle with the previous two expansions and the basic version of the game. The expansion itself only requires the base Guild Wars 2 to work.
