Famelic lizards form is final, DF release date announced

[Teriz]

Sadly no. I won't even try them. And it's not even because I don't like furry or scalies. I have two problems with them :

1/ When I think of dragon, I think of might, power and size. Those weirdos looks nothing like that. They're small, thin, goofy. I've tried every customization possible to make them look menacing and I failed.

How exactly are they small? They’re among the larger playable races. They’re small in comparison to building size dragons, but they’re not small in comparison to the playable races.

The fact they're thin just makes them look small compared to a tauren.

If you hate dracthyr, then I have good news.

They aren't tanks, so you never have to heal one ;]

[FelPlague]

Because god forbid people get models they actually enjoy. Who are you to decide what people are allowed to like?

I want them to add a body option that lets us play Tribal Hunter in WoW.
Or are you going to try and decide what people are allowed to like?
Cause god forbid people get models they actually enjoy.

So your argument here is that they're "smaller" than the largest playable race in the game?

Nope, ask for what you want bro idc.

No. My argument is that their lack of thickness makes them look small. The fact they look small doesn't mean they are small. But they give that impression.

I think the biggest thing that kills me is the weird belief that the Dractyr look the way they do because the Furry Market is SUCH A HUGE DEMOGRAPHIC that they have to not only capitalize on said furry market but make something on the furry market front and fucking center of their MMO cause yes

last I checked actual furry games aren't triple A blockbusters

[mcnally86]

Huh? Thats REALLY creepy dude. I can judge the aesthetics of something without sexualising it. I bought some new light fittings yesturday, and not once did i say "i do like that one, but that other one is way sexier, so lets get that". I can say the casting of an actor was a poor decision without saying "tom cruise isnt sexy enough to be Reacher". And i can prefer certain races in a game without once, EVER, thinking about it sexually. This is some seriously creepy thinking dude, especially when you say the sexual appeal of a race is important, then admit you play undead.................

And I said DF doesnt appeal to me, not once did i say WOW doesnt appeal to me. Maybe you should look into Classic.

I do play classic but we are looking at the same thing as the worgen. The npc models were scarier and bulkier than the player ones. That happened so long ago. Why might you not play the game now? So they did it again? So what? Don't play them? I am confused as how this hurts your gameplay experience. You say you are not the target market, fine but your evidence is new races. Are they removing old ones? Are draca stealing pixels from dwarves?

No, my evidence is not new races, i never said that. I quite like some of the new races, and play quite a few of them. I think there is a serious reading comprehension issue here, because i never said "i dont play wow anymore because of the new races". What you are doing is called a strawman - you are arguing against an argument i never made.

I dont play anymore because the overall design of the entire game, including the core game play loop which i mentioned specifically, and the class design. I didn't mention class design because for all i know the classes play great in DF. But not once did i specify that i quit wow because of the new races, this is something you entirely fabricated. A few of the races dont appeal to me, but i consider that to be a symptom, not the disease. It would honestly be VERY hard to say any of the last 3 expansions bare any similarity in theme, setting, and overall style to, say, Wrath. I mention wrath specifically because of wrath classics recent launch, so many are experiencing it again, or maybe for the first time.

[Kilpi]

I actually won't because I don't care about new classes or races, whatever they would be. I'm just voting yes to piss of OP who seems to be crying about something not being masculine enough. Because that's cool.

Famelic means famished or starved. Stupid poll regardless.

[ParanoiD84]

Had zero interest in playing one anyways not really because of looks but they just look boring. Will probably level one down the road though to try it out fast seeing how easy and fast it is to level these days.

[Dastreus]

Their appearance alone is a deterrent to ever wanting to play again. They look like Furry Suits brought to life. I always try every class, but Evoker being locked to the Furry Suits is a big no. Def sticking to FFXIV.

To be honest, I'd be more convinced that Blizz was catering to the scaly crowd if Dracthyr did have bulky muscles and/or heaving breasts.

[Masark]

Kick Dracthyr pretenders from your raids. Real Drakonoids or bust!

One should note that none of those guys have wings, whereas Dracthyr do have functional wings. Flight demands lightness, hence a generally slight build.

Though still, looking at wowhead's dressing room, they seem to look reasonably stacked to me if you use the #4 body.

[FelPlague]

Nope, ask for what you want bro idc.

That's the point i was making,...

Because we all know this is somehow LESS furry then the dragon?


Also I fucking love how this thread is
"I hate this, it is so skiny and malnourished and weak looking, its furry bait, you know what would fix that? making it more muscular, making it more muscle toned and strong.."


Like bros just admit it.

On a serious note, I might create one, if only to check out the starting zone. Won't play him past level 10.

Like the fact people say this makes me feel like people spent 2 seconds looking at the original announcement picture and have done literally zero research since, and havent even seen the actual customization options.
they start at level 58...

[ercarp]

No, they look ridiculous. I'll probably get a mod that changes their models into something else because I don't wanna see them.

[Kilpi]

Famelic means famished or starved. Stupid poll regardless.

Oh? My bad, didn't know such a word existed. Well, my vote still stands for the same reason.

[Auburst]

Sort of helps, could you provide the real world reference for dragons so that this comparison works?

Oh wait, it's lizards, which I've already gone over.

(Also the post you're replying to isn't really directed at whether or not the option to be thick SHOULD happen, just that some posters reasons for why are absurd)

I think this is far better criticism for why one might not like direction the Dracthyr took, thank you for articulating this. The whole "my sexuality takes direct damage if my character isn't muscle daddy/I don't like things that remind me of women" takes are getting painful and frankly damaging to attempts to persuade Blizz into giving us greater customization options for Dracthyr.

Why would I provide real life dragon examples when it's WoW we are talking about and how they were designed in the universe.

Flight demands lightness? Not in WoW.

Yeah making it muscular would be great. It also should have access to draconic heads instead of whatever this is.
