    Another leaker said it cannibalized arcane mages. Nothing was mentioned that it was a combo of the flights. In addition, Drakthyr weren’t being touted as being locked with the Evoker, so people assumed it was going to be a spellcaster, not a dragon.

    Also a lot of this concept comes from Alexstraza HotS. So yeah, Bards still off the table.

    Anyway, I’m happy that the Dragon class is also a race. I’m a little disappointed that they didn’t make the healing spec red-based. I am happy that they’re using some concepts and abilities from HotS, but I’m disappointed that they didn’t use standard dragon forms, but I suppose due to size issues the more humanoid models make sense.

    I’m VERY disappointed that there’s no third spec. There’s really no excuse for a two spec class when there’s five dragon flights.

    I hope the dragon form can fly. Im not sure they revealed that. Also the Dragon Isles look great. So mixed emotions right now. Kind of sucks when you feel like your idea is better than what Blizzard ultimately came up with.
    It is definitely awkward. I would prefer if there were three specializations to take full advantage of some things—I'd say I'd merge Red and Green Dragonflight abilities under one specialization, Bronze and Blue in another, and let the Black Dragonflight stand on their own.

    The new race/class and some of the other features seem interesting, but God! Those zones, or at least what they showed, seemed lackluster, just the same old reused Elf/Troll assets we've seen in a dozen zones before. In fact that one zone, they were showing I thought was Azsuna, before they said it was entirely new.

    To be fair, I understand his reservations. We have too many Elves!

    I do wonder what forms they can take, though. On the website I see a Blood Elven and Human form.

    Idk my standards are higher than just "good enough." Demon Hunters worked good as "race"/class combo because their demon/elf forms were completely unique (correct me if wrong) and something we had not seen before. It felt super high quality and well done even if the elf forms were just a modified model.

    But this stuff just rubs me the wrong way, it is still preliminary and I know that but just at its core.

    I think the first step needs to be giving the race their own rigging, it is quite inexcusable to give a new race (note: not allied race) a reused skeleton, it just lends to it looking cheap and off-putting. Second step needs to be stuff like beards/jewlerly/tattoos etc etc, and the drake form NEEDS to be able to equip armor.

    I have faith in the Dev team to make changes because they've been really stellar with feedback lately so I'm sure the final product will be something I can get behind, but man the first impression is awful.

    Typically when people use languge such as "I feel" it means they are speaking for themselves. I never claimed to speak objectively and it should be fairly obvious this is just my opinion.

    See, they look great...in combat. Standing still I feel like I'm looking at some degenerate in a scalie suit at a con.

    And no, not in an "anthro bad, updoots to the left" way. Proportions wise they seem too "normal adult human in a suit" compared to a Worgen or Vulpera. They should be bulkier.

    The one true question : Which color for the class !

    I'd guess you might be able to tame proto drakes, but not dragons.

    Seems to be the primary reason. Can't say I am a fan of that design choice.

    Right, but the last two expansions had pre-order bonuses in waves. Mount, pet & transmog instantly, & allied race bonus in the next patch.

    I'm hoping its just because they don't want to overload the shop servers & will shadowdrop it in a few days.

    I think one of the best outcomes of the new race/class is that it breaks down barriers that we players conceived as immutable. Nothing based on race or class is off the table. I just hope that when it comes to customization and new toys, we don't have to continue to wait years to get them. Though, I wouldn't hold my breath on that.

    I think it has something to do with timing. If it has something big like a new AR they may be waiting to reveal it.
