I can't believe Blizzard is actually willing to launch Dracthyr so half-assed

[Claymore]

They're the literal centerpiece of their new expansion, yet the Dracthyr are not only hyper effeminate, but can't even wear THEIR OWN goddamn CLASS ARMOR?!?

Literally, thanks to "lookalike" gear, they'll be the only Mail-user that CAN'T wear their own armor. I mean, imagine launching a race that couldn't use normal mounts.

And if they were too lazy to implement the ability to wear armor, then WHY THE FUCK DO THEY LOOK LIKE LIZARD-PEOPLE?!?

If they REALLY couldn't be bothered, why not at least go SUPER distinctive with it? Like actual DRAGON forms, or even something closer to this "Eranog" boss:

Seriously; who the fuck is calling the shots at Blizzard? At a time when Blizzard CLEARLY needs a win, the best they can come up with is some half-baked lusty argonian?

This is so, so disappointing. It's incredible that they're so delusional they would launch something so limited, after these past two years.

Certain key pieces show in your draconic form: shoulders, large geometric pieces like belt buckles. When we make things like tier sets, we know that this armor is custom-made for the Evoker, and so we can do more things than we could do elsewhere. The big challenge is with such a unique body shape and horns and wings, fitting regular armor was a mix of logistically impossible but also undermining a bit of the core fantasy of being a scaled draconic being with wings. And if you cover it all up, that undermines a piece of it. But yes, in your visage form, it’s all visible all the time. We want to make sure people are seeing their visage form more than say a Worgen sees their humanoid form, depending on personal preference.

I don't have any issues with Dractyr.

I am happy that Blizzard is still trying to do weird things and make things more diverse and interesting. They could've added a Dractyr race as a typical race, Evoker as a normal class etc. but they didn't. They actually went ahead and tried something very different and thus I am actually quite interested in the Dractyr, while otherwise I wouldn't care.

All in all, sorry, but your post just makes you look whiny and irrational. You pretend to be an expert and know it better than Blizzard, but actually just end up whining, because they did something different.

We know you MEAN BUSINESS when random words are CAPITALIZED to show how POWERFUL your opinion is. It's a shame they didn't consult you, random internet person, to specifically design Dracthyr in a way that suits your individual tastes.

I like Dracthyr personally, and have no issues with their appearance or transmog.

oh, this thread again.

We already have multiple threads discussing the Dracthyr model, use one of the existing ones as opposed to making a new one for every hot take. Closing this.
