Instead of "Dracthyr", we should just get player-sized Dragons

This gives an example of how much faster dragon riding is. Now imagine a fully upgraded dragon.

I'm fairly sure you can find their shoulders in the Broker vendors inside Torghast. At least, they look really similar.

you can in fact find the shoulders I more so meant the rest of the mawsworn couldn't just be turned into trasmog without remaking them from the ground up as I believe they are all one connected model like the suamar night bourn were.

Ah, the entire set. Gotcha.

Remember when we used to argue about whether or not Dracthyr could fly?

Soar is easily one of the best racials ever created. I hope it makes it to retail.

Also, some nice bit of immersion for those that didn't know.

If you mount up in dragon form you automatically change to your visage form. Also, if you start a fight in visage form, you transform into a dragon then when the combat ends you automatically turn back into the visage form. That's pretty neat.

[Veluren]

I kinda hope they refine that just a liiiiiittle bit more.

I'll concede turning back to visage to mount, but I kinda wish they'd just give you a generalized toggle button so you don't have it auto-swap you back the first time you enter/exit combat after mounting

Honestly, when I see this, I can't help but think "what should've been our Dragon-class" when I see Emmigosa here:

Maybe a touch bigger, I suppose, but if we had the same level of customization, but on an actual DRAGON body, I would've been over the moon.

When I hear 'player sized dragons', I'm picturing a Spinal Tap - Stonehenge situation.

little bigger in size and it would be perfect, somewhat x1.5 size of Druid Cat form i think, like that demonform on 38 sec.

The best thing everyone can do is just stop playing. I don't actually know who this game is made for anymore. There's been better Draknoid models in the game since Vanilla

Seeing all the cool dragonkin, be it dragons, drakes, drakonid or dragonspawn, i feel sad and angry that we end up with the worst option available. It is such a tease...
If they wanted to do something crazy, they would let us play as mount sized quadrupedal dragons, it wouldnt be that much of a deal as some people here say.

It’s the worst option in your opinion. I rate the Dracthyr rather highly in terms of playable dragon options.

this, so much

Exactly.

Regardless, it's still just so baffling, because even IN THE ALPHA there are more appropriate models.

It really does seem like, maybe the folks at Blizzard just... fundamentally don't understand who Warcraft's fans are? Either that, or are perhaps very intentionally trying NOT to deliver content that clearly appeals to them?

Like I said, I'm fine with the current option being the "female/body-type 2" option, but there really ought to be a more traditionally masculine body to choose from, as well. Something like General Draven's model.

Whoa that bike mount at the end...and are those battle pets?

[Claymore]

Honestly, I'm still just kind of stunned HOW goofy the Dracthyr look in-game. I feel like we really need a "Male" body-type, and also the ability to wear ACTUAL armor and full transmogs (save for cloaks, I can understand those not being allowed).

I would recommend just rolling a different race and ignore the Dracthyr altogether. Leave the race to the players who are perfectly okay with how they look.

Sadly people will just keep going on about it and not get over it,

[Auburst]

Uh....no.... That looks like a dragon had sex with a goblin...


Can't say this race can become anything more than an alt, I mean, there is no transmogs to gather for it, so what is the point?

That 1st picture is corrupted form from ny'alotha, the one below is the current'ish

It's his corrupted but also adult form. The one below is drake.

They do my mate. They look like some skink lizardboys but definitely not dragons.

Eh, sure. It looks good, certainly wouldn't hurt being a playable option for those who want that.

It looks pretty much exactly like what I was expecting that others wanted out of the dracthyr, the macho beeftank. Which is to say that it's exactly what I was expecting would be not for me, and what makes me relieved that the current iteration of dracthyr are a bit closer to what I could see myself playing and enjoying.

What that model definitely does get right for me, though, is the head and face. They're very, perfectly draconic. If dracthyr had a little more options like that, touching more on the draconic portion of them and a little less on the portion of whatever else that makes them up, they'd be absolutely golden, far as I'm concerned.

It's fucking amazing!
