How I Would Fix Drakthyr

[Auburst]

Dragons can also be bipedal, as shown by that Blizzard artwork.

The same artwork shows early concept art Dragonsworn who aren't dragons.

Still spewing the same old shit months later LOL

Get over it...I'm sure there are plenty of roided up male dragons you can get your rocks off to on rule 34

Months later and I see the same projections. Some things don't change do they.

I'll say it again, Dracthyr don't need fixing, they're fine as they are.

They do need a fix.

Majority thinks this.

Forums are, once more, composed of a loud minority who do have a point - they have specific preferences (as in, bigger, "bara"-like Dracthyr) but are pretending that everyone wants that.

They absolutely need a fix.
In the terms of more options. From what we’ve been seen they look nothing like actual dragons or the old vanilla art they were based on.

Everything we’ve seen so far makes them all look like winged geckos, not dragons.
But they did say that there were two body type options we’ve yet to see, so we’ll see if the three bodies are varied enough and not just a slight change.

Plus, it’s not a minority that wants the change.
Barely a fraction of voters in this poll for example, seem to think the don’t need a change.

This forum, official forum, reddit, twitter, pretty much all forums want them fixed. Thousands upon thousands upon thousands of people want to see more warcrafty Soythyr.

Though it is kind of funny anytime someone says the buzzword “vocal minority” when the community wants something they don’t.
But then they don’t show anything to show that to be the case.

I'm not fucking surprised. Evil forces want status quota to thrive and Soythyr to be a cognitive doom of us all.

By barely a fraction you mean the 101 more people who voted for the change and this forum is a bad medium as it's full jaded people who claim to never want to touch the game again, so yes you are a very vocal minority.

30% of this mmo-champion's very poll are fine with it. An unknown amount of players is satisfied with the Twink Dracthyr and are even commenting it. Another amount of players are unsatisfied and are doing the correct thing: they won't buy dragonflight. No dev will design a game to please fucking reddit.

This shit is Pandaren all over again. It will launch, you will buy and play the game, everything will remain the same.

But twink Dractyhr > the bara scally abominations incessantly proposed in this thread.

Have you seen edits on reddit or twitter? Thousands of people want to see different bodies and faces for them.

This isn't Pandaren all over again. This race doesn't fit WoW style in its current form. This isn't even a dragon adjacent race but a winged gecko.

Closer to ~174 people that want to see a change in the poll. Just some of the people that want a change don’t agree with what’s been proposed in the thread.

Not to mention all over the official forums/Reddit.
I don’t really see much actual praise for the Dracthyr outside of Teriz and maybe a select few others.

But either way y’all can’t seem to understand that we all want options.
Y’all can keep the super skinny twink Dracthyr, but we all know what the majority will play if they add bulkier/actual draconic options.

Blizzard even understands the community dislike of them, which is why they had to say “there are bulkier body options that we haven’t shown yet we’ll show them in a Dracthyr preview.”

Everyone has seen the Deviantart edits posted on reddit and twitter, we all agree that they please the scallies already which is why they are way inferior to twink dracthyrs.

Also, this is a traditional WoW dragon - the Drake.



Notice how it looks like a winged gecko, head almost like a fish. No chin. Now look at the Dracthyr. Back to the winged gecko. Then to the soon-to-be-playable winged gecko. We are getting lore-accurate humanoid dragons. You dislike it because you are unfamiliar with the game, which is of course normal for someone who hasn't played the game in ages yet still criticizes it.

Once Dragonflight launches, you will buy it anyway, supporting Blizzard and a design you dislike. Then you'll keep complaining on forums. Then 11.0 will be announced and you'll buy it again, while the rest of us play around with Soythyr.

In the official preview they included this little video showing 4 body options - one is plumpy, like y'all bara fanatics want. Anymore and it would be a fridge.

I’m satisfied with the bulky option.

The armor looks good… but the point stands that it Dracthyr can wear all of those… then why can’t they wear transmogged armor.

They would have to check individual clipping on lots of stuff, which is a lot of work. This is why Dracthyr are launching in this state, or why FFXIV's newest races can't wear most helmets.

Cutting corners because god forbid they do the whole work.

[Nightshade711]

Though I wonder if every piece is from the barber shop or if the shoulders are from transmog

Also it looks like hip-sheathed weapons are going to be visible in Dracthyr form.

Indeed, it's going to be awkward when you can never show off your gear unless you are in the non combat form. Super weird that they would make a new race and not let us display our armor, what are they thinking?

[Myradin]

I'm quit curious as well, but they definitely look like a step up from before.

[A Chozo]

what are they thinking?

Same shit they thought with Druids and Shadow Priests I guess. Not that it's good or bad but there's precedent.

[Aleksej89]

the race still looks scrawny and wimpy which is odd for a dragon/humanoid hybrid.
dragons in warcraft are buff, humanoids in warcraft are buff but for some reason the hybrid looks malnourished.

heads look nice but the "wing toe" is absolutely horrible, dearly hope there is an option to hide that or have some armor cover it.
overall still feels and looks more like a fan project and less like a multi-billion dollar corporation is putting real effort into it.

Drake is adolescent dragon and it looks better than Soythyr not to mention its body is made for quadruple creature. It isn't lore accurate by any stretch of fucking imagination.

Sure mate let's use adult Dragons like Tarecgosa then



Again, go look at the game before you spout your headcanon here. Dragons with big jaws like Deathwing are a big exception, not the rule. They have always been fish-faced, hence the fish-faced Dracthyr.

Deal with it, I've wasted enough time with you.
