    They literally said that it had to do with size constraints in the developer deep dive.

    The rest is your opinion. I have no interest or desire to sway it one way or another.

    If they gave us quadrupedal drakes instead of upright dracthyr, would you still not be complaining about how lanky, un-dragonlike, and frail they look? Drakes are some pretty spindly dudes. I'm pretty sure we'd have this same thread, except it'd be a 'roided up drake in the OP.

    Pretending they can't see how what we're getting doesn't come close to what was wanted is amberheard levels of dishonesty.


    And to make it very clear, Dracthyr are MORE SIMILAR to Argonians than they are SIMILAR to WoW Dragons. They look CLOSER to lizard men from an Elder Scrolls game than they look like the DRAGONS from World of Warcraft.


    But please proceed to cover your eyes and say "No this is fine, I'm ok with this."
    You understand I have played Elder scrolls and I turned my nose up at Argonians, where as I am excited to play a Dracthyr... They are not at all alike and if anything at least it's different the haters are starting to move on.

    You speak many truths, whatever Blizz would have done people would have hated on it.

    I like the Drac'thyr. But wings aside, they share more in common - aesthetically - with any given generic RPG lizard race (Argonians included) than they do actual dragons. That is fine. To deny this just because some people wield it as a critique instead of an observation is disingenuous.

    They say alot of things after everyone saw the crap they made and rejected it.

    You not trying to sway opinion? You not caring if people don't like the lizardmen? LOL ok.

    I'm curious as to where you people live that all but one image in the OP actually looks like they take steroids (there is only 1 image in the OP that actually looks like they're 'roided up)?

    I wanted them to look like:



    Which I wouldn't personally called 'roided up, but I suppose to each their own.

    I'm mostly addressing the crowd that hates everything about the current design and would never be satisfied by any changes to its proportions whatsoever; ercarp's edit isn't 'roided up at all, you're right. Blizzard just has a tendency to drastically over-correct more often than not, so please forgive me for being skeptical they'd address this sort of feedback with any subtlety.

    I mean, I look at that picture and I see lanky arms, a noodle neck and a pretty lizard-y head. I do wish the dracthyr had those iconic outward teeth lining their jaws like the other dragonkin have, but that feels like a small thing in the grand scheme to me. Check out that drake in the model viewer and you'll see how small their waists are too, not to mention the skinny tails. They're nowhere near the bulk of a fully-grown dragon, which is what I'm seeing the loudest people requesting?

    Pretty much.

    Dracthyr are essentially WoW drakes standing on their hind legs.

    Throwback to when images of the race were leaked and people thought it was fake/from a furry private server.
    I don’t remember seeing a single post being like “wow so cool new race”

    And that first picture comparing what you ordered and what you got...... the two "dragons" are very "similar" for Teriz.

    They both have an upright posture and basically the same structure. One just looks like a DRAGON..... and the other one is going to be a playable race in WoW next year.

    They could have made these Dracthyr so much better (and here's hoping they will work on them ALA Sonic style) and get them in a fashion where you can highly customize what you want, but what they've shown us so far is very, very poor.

    LoL! Can you post any picture from the Warcraft franchise where a dragon is super muscular and has bulging pectoral muscles? If you thought that was what you were getting, you were delusional.

    Also that image of the dracthyr is heavily distorted.

    You may be onto something. When you look at them, Drakthyr are missing the bestial and rough aspects of a dragon. Their model doesn't look bad, but fangs are nowhere to be seen, their colors and expressions are weirdly soft. Everything about them looks kind of neat and tidy for a dragon. It's the details, same thing that happened with Tauren after model update (going from fierce and stoic expression to a softer and kind of a derpy looking one).

    You've distorted the second image, this is a pathetic attempt at trolling.

    In the Undermine patch with the robot dragons, I can see it.

    To be fair they'd probably look even weirder being all bestial while still being nothing but scales and bone.

    But it is weird how every draconic humanoid in lore so far has at least somewhat of a decent build... Except the ones created to be the 'perfect soldiers'.
