So basically they're going to retcon Glint's story? What about Kuunavang?

I suppose they at least did themselves a favor by not having a dragon at the heart of Nightfall, though at the time I found that thematically idiotic, missing the oppurtunity to dovetail the demi-god dragons with the demi-god... Well, ex-humans?

I had kinda wondered how they were going to fit Glint and Kuunavang into the whole "Dragons are an ancient evil" thing, kinda had hoped for better then a standard issue retcon, especially as Glint was probably my favorite character (hey, she lives in a grain of sand in a desert, now that's someone who values privacy!) in the entire series.

Then again, I should know better. Neither lore nor storytelling were ever GW's or Anet's strong suit.

On the other hand, it does make you feel a bit better about killing Glint every time you went for a Protector or Guardian of Tyria title!

They're not retconning Glint, they're promoting her; giving her tale new twists and thus expanding her role in the series (and she was already rare being a survivor of the transition from GW to GW2).

Honestly I don't know how anyone can impune depth of lore and storytelling over the revelation that an enigmatic NPC might *shock horror* have been other-than-truthful when describing herself as agent of the gods and shepherd of humanity.

I fear we're all doomed to another generation of 15ft tall glowing-eyed death-metal lunatic antagonists if there's outrage over the slightest deviation from "BWA HA HA, WITNESS MY OBVIOUS VILLAINY" narratives.
