Something i found in a German Forum:

The poster says this comes directly from an Mythic Dev.

Dragons:

ALL dragons are killable in the same manner. Easy now Hibs, I was assured this was true by the guy who claimed to have actually coded the AI for all three lizzies. The less players you take the better your chances. If you show up with over 100 peeps you will nearly always fail.
The optimum number is near 50 from what I gathered. Seems the dragon has a percent chance to spawn his fire weapon based upon how many peeps are there and so if 100 or more show up you're getting that breath 100% of the time or close to it. So, in order to kill a dragon you must get all your peeps (casters included) to sit inside the dragons polys and beat it to death one whack at a time. When I pointed out that taking 35-50 toons to the dragons lair only to sit inside it's polys and whack it to death seemed a tad less than epic, he replied "It's called using tactics..." Heh, had to laugh at that.

let's do a CF dragon raid... i'm sure we got 50 active people in Celtic Zerg.e.r. Fist

This means not even dragon raids have room for medium sized guilds like TD anymore

this is BS tho, since in that case if I take 3 groups, one group attacking at a time in rotation, rezzing at a time, I'll win - this is not true

the problem is not the dragon AE, we've accepted he will pretty much do it anyway, so we've worked around it, to establish the big problem is now controlling the adds, and his 'bugged' hp when he is near 10% hp.

and what does the dragon use to count the number of people there? i mean what type of radius? people only in the zone - 'cuuldarachs lair' ? people directly near the dragon?

good luck to anyone that tries, but again, the problem is with adds, not the actual dragon.

because according to that, you'd need around 7 groups optimum? (7x8=56 btw)
