How I Would Fix Drakthyr

[Auburst]

WoW dragons were never masculine, with rough faces and heroic bodies.

Do you people even play the game? Jesus. This is pointless.

- - - Updated - - -

Some of these are more "masculine" than most WoW Dragons' heads, yet some people here want fat heads or something. Absolute lunacy.

They always were.

We do. Do you, you keep reposting female dragons to prove a point about masculinity. Look at male jaws how they look.

[A Chozo]

Also if you ask, let me repay you

You linked:
-Dragon with fake jaw;
-Dragon with soy-powered jaw that makes Dracthyr's head look like The Crimson Chin;
-Goofy Azshara Dragon;
-Artwork
-The only actual valid example: Kalecgos' new model, which has a jaw with the same proportion of many already previewed by Blizzard.

I'm not sure what's the deal with people who think the Dracthyr's faces aren't bulky enough. There were lots of bulky examples on the preview, just like Kalecgos' head, but adjusted for a humanoid dragon.

With their slender flying spellcaster's body, anything bigger than a Kalecgos-like head would be ridiculous.

We finally get both a race and a class catered towards us in the lgbtqia+ community and the first thing you want to do is take it away from us. Pretty disgusting TBH.

It would’ve been nice to have some head options that have visible fangs, like almost every dragon in the game.

Idk man, it’s not restricting any of these options to a specific gender.
I’d think that having masculine/feminine options regardless of gender would make the LGBT+ community happy.

lmao, complainers everywhere, never satisfied.

This is why creators say "You don't know what you fucking want until I give it to you." Because if you ever see it before hand all you do is complain about how it doesn't fit your narrow view of what something should or should not be in a fucking fantasy game.

It's so tiring to exist within this species.

They did a lot of work, not enough. Never is, lmao. Entitlement gonna dry up when the world can't bend over anymore to give what people want because of strained resources.

O-ok ? /10chars

Not everyone in the LGBTQIA+ want to "look" like something "LGBTQIA+" just so you know

those are aweful..

[Fantazma]

I saw on Wowhead this update of models and varieties of heads.
I know there are a lot of players who like more "plush" style. I don't intend to play a Drakthyr. So I don't care if things get terrible...

Just posting this here as it seems to me that the feedback about the wider necks has been heard.
Already pointy chins like OP suggested the Blizz gang must disagree.

For me this is comical (zero% menacing):



I like something like this better:

[Myradin]

You linked two official arts and Kalecgos - if Dracthyr had Kalecgos' ugly mug people would be shitting way harder on it because it's goddamn atrocious. Deathwing's Jaw isn't even natural ffs. He's the exception to the rule that WoW Dragons have always been geckos.

At least link actual in-game dragons instead of your non-existent idea of what a Warcraft Dragon is:



Always the fish head. Always the fucking wall lizard. This is what a WoW Dragon has always been - not D&D Dragon People as some here think.

You say it like Teriz hasn't been defending things using the same three pics of non-game wrathion.

Also Dracthyr don't have the fishhead either.

Teriz is a meme, and thank god Dracthyr got regular traditional dragon heads instead of traditional WoW dragon heads. Makes them way more fierce than the Super Mario 64 Eels cosplaying as Wyrms we usually have.

ah yes, the smiling giraffe looking heads sure are fierce, very "traditional" dragon heads, what a joke 4Head

Since when did dragons get associated with human gender roles & sexuality? lmao.

And there's the implicit acknowledgement that what we received in not in keeping with the WarCraft aesthetic. Thank you.

Dracthyr heads are absolutely in the WarCraft aesthetic - more specifically, the modern stuff like Wrathion.

No one wants their heads to look like traditional WoW dragon heads. They are atrocious.

Left is traditional. Absolutely godawful. Right is modern, and way better, which is why the Dracthyr follow it more closely. Both are warcraft.



At least play the game before making weird comments about the WarCraft aesthetic, because you just painted yourself as clueless in regards to the WoW aesthetics.

[Berkilak]

I see a lot of resemblance between the posted images. And very little resemblance between modern Wrathion and the Drac'thyr. Look at the primordial ferocity of his design and tell me with a straight face you see the same in Drac'thyr.

[cocomen2]

Dracthyr heads look like they were made by camel fan, they smiling and ready to spit.




Same energy,15* looks like 1:1 Zebra costume.


Just remade them from 0, bulky torso + deathwing head = it's not gonna fail you.

Just dropping by to give my two cents on the recent blog post on Dracthyr customization.

- It's a good start, but it's not enough. They're just adding muscle mass on top of the current frame, which doesn't change the silhouette all that much when viewed from a distance (especially when wearing "armor"). It's a good surface detail, but it's not changing the model in a meaningful way. Their frames remain small with narrow shoulders. This is not bulk.
- They need to make their heads bigger and lower their necks because quite frankly the tiny-faced lizards look ridiculous. Especially when you use the customization options that increase muscle mass.
- Giving us pre-designed armor sets that only Dracthyr can wear is still extremely disappointing and I'm not quite sure who's getting excited about this. If you're going to give me a new race, I expect to be able to wear my armor while playing said new race. Worgen can wear armor, so why can't Dracthyr? There's no excuse besides laziness and/or poor direction from the devs.
- Still waiting on info for more humanoid form options.

So menacing, truly wow dragons like some folks say

Since this thread is about dracthyr appearance I'll talk about this in here.

Now that alpha is out and it is possible to see how armor actually looks like, I feel rather disapointed. You can't even mount in dracthyr form.

The armor you can put on in character creation (and I assume can change in barber) is very limited compared to actual selection of armors. I have seen some screenshots of these character creation armors and only one of them looks good. Basically it seems to me that this single armor is the only good set evokers can wear. That is unless the dragonflight content offers extra armors you can select or wear that looks good. It is still extremely limited.

Dracthyr looked fine enough and seems fine otherwise, but to basically separate it from the ability to transmog properly seems like big mistake.

I hope this will be fixed somehow.

I do hope that they let the tier sets be visible in some way.
Be it through barber shop options that unlock when you get the gear or through transmog… but I just do hope that’s not the only armor we’ll ever see on our Dracthyr.
