Can someone post the new body types? I have bad internet so can’t see them on the site for some reason

[Raetary]

The buff Dracthyr look damn good.

[Lady Atia]

Oh yes, they are soooooooo cute. Can't wait to play around with them in the dressing room!

Really expectant of the visage forms too!
Want to see all the new haistyles, colors, accessories and everything

[Makorus]

While I did like the slim Dracthyr, I do like the thicker ones too.

The variety of horns is cool as well.

[Catastrophy349]

Time for another copium filling.

Very happy with everything that they have shown on the Dracthyr blog except for the armor (glad we at least have some small options and they do look good, but they should be mog options)

[Raetary]

The Dracthyr armor looks really good.


The white one is amazing.

I'm honestly so thrilled at that post. I was excited after the initial announcement but that's really bumped up the hype - Really gorgeous colour selection, features and a muscle slider! My inner gay man is screaming (outer one too!)

This is the truth! Very excited. Alpha Week has officially started!

I was never as down on the Drackthyr as some others were, but options are always good! And they look awesome!

[Revamp Man]

Nice. Though it still doesn't say much about the Dracthyr form when it comes to armor, specifically whether it's leaning more towards Worgen or Druid forms in terms of armor availability. Not sure whether I would be able to stomach the class unless it's able to display the armor I gather for it.

Also how in-depth the Dragonriding mechanic will be for them. Would be massively disappointed if it really is just the initial version with no parallel increases with the actual Dragonriding dragon. Would just be silly if you have to be a dragon riding another dragon to be able to fly properly.

And of course, how exactly will the class play. Would love another class to play beyond hunter.

i thought they said a while back that evokers can use themselves for the dragon riding system but actual flying they need a mount

Iirc, they get base dragonflying but for the upgrades they need the mount.

Anyway, these make them look a a lot better than the reveal did. Still wish they could use real armor and play other classes, but it is what it is.

Dracthyr Evoker will have basic Dragonriding (without the upgrades). Whatever you can do at Level 1 Dragonriding is what Dracthyr will be able to do as default.

Which is kinda silly when you consider the implications of how quickly you get Dragonriding during levelling. It will barely even be a funsies racial when considering how useless it would be compared to mounting up normally.
Make it scale to your Dragonriding level and share whatever limitations like stamina and whatever and nothing will change except let dracthyr fly like the dragons they are supposed to be.

[Catastrophy349]

I'm like a dragon, just want to fly away!

[Prenderghast]

The armor that they've previewed for Dracthyr form definitely looks great. However, where most people are (understandably) concerned about the limited amount of armor that shows up in dracthyr form, my concern is the opposite - will we have the option to transmog to *no* armor visible when in Dracthyr form? Essentially looking like they do in the skin color previews where they're not wearing anything and just look like normal dragons standing up? The armor is cool, but dragons in their birthday suits are cooler

The problem with having it just be the initial version is that it will likely be outdated before you even hit max level while effectively depriving dracthyr the ability to effectively fly around as a dragon despite the mechanic literally being called Dragonriding.

Agreed. I hope that they’d do this.

I want them to also be able to fly outside of DF on their own with the normal 310% flying, especially since they will already have the animations for flight/hovering.
