So turns out, Dracthyr design isn't half so bad...

[Mace]

Yeh, had a chance to check it out on the beta, and it's incredibly detailed - I wouldn't say it hit the sweet spot for me, but I do think it's the best race on the cards.

I was able to come up with some really nice designs that I thought, you know what, this isn't half so bad as i thought it would be - you can make your dragon form look much more masculine than I first thought, but it takes some exploring, - but if that's your only issue then... it certainly is monster enough, but cool enough ---

The design is still Warcraft grounded, those "feet", would never get use to them, and the visage form, well that is actually incredibly detailed.

Might be good overall.

From all the vids I've seen, they have the most customisation options available in the game right now. I hope they will add as many to the other races eventually.

I remain severely unimpressed. While the customization overall is nice, yes, the faces have the pandaren syndrom with only the snout being changeable. The worgen feel more diverse BUT that's nitpicking.

However after just playing the Beta I'm already very bored with the boring pseudo-armor that you get instead of transmogging. The dragonform is running headfirst into becoming old very quickly. Someone must be fucked in the head to think this is replacing transmogging in any meaningful way.

And spare me with the humanoid forms. I have played enough Bloodelf. That's not the selling point so why is the dragon form so limited? There is no good reason to this besides Blizzard being lazy.

The most popular class in the game has you in a non-transmoggable animal form during combat, and players have never seemed to care. In fact they go wild when more forms come out for it. If players are okay turning into a Bear or whatever the hell a Moonkin is, they probably won't mind spending combat in the form of a bipedal dragon.

These days there are rather a lot of skin and model options for those "non-transmoggable" forms tho.

I do really like the Dracthyr and all their customization options. I would say this is a bit above average (low bar though) for Blizzard in recent years.

[Varanus]

Give me a buff option or no sale.

Players have been complaining about moonkin form for years and most glyph their way out of it.

Can confirm, I recently started leveling a shooty druid and the first thing I did was buy glyph of the stars. XD

[Jastall]

You have to work to make them look good IMO, but if you do they can look very good. The right combination of skin tones, eye color/style, and features makes all the difference. Body types 3/4 not optional as far as I'm concerned.

Still no luck getting a half decent Visage form sadly. But you can practically ignore that aspect (eh) anyway.

[Nerph-]

Glad you like them OP, I think they look shit, even after playing around with the customization on beta.

[Nightshade711]

They look alright.
Just wish we could get an option for the more draconic teeth/stuff to put on the chin.

Their heads could be a little bigger too.

[Lora]

they look decent but the class plays like dogshit.

Despite the number of options, I did feel that one more two more things could be customised further on dragon form, for e.g. i wanted to be able to choose features like horns on the top or bottom of the snout tip independent of the type of snout I picked..

I was surprised how much i liked it though, I'll be fair, both visage and dragon form.

Sure, if you don't count gear.

I count gear.

[Khaza-R]

The base model looks fine. It offers enough breadth of customizations to appease most imo. The choice to limit transmog to just shoulders and belt (which last I checked in the beta was buggy af) was a huge mistake.

But still, I find it more concerning that its just a clunky, non-fluid class.

Do you really even play this game? Or do you just seal clap fir everything blizzard does?

He doesn't even play the game. He was dead convinced Blizzard would add tinkers as a class to SL as a surprise class

[gd8]

Blizzard has chosen to present them with the most flamboyant tacky customizations possible so it's given people a bad first impression I think, it's not hard to create a tasteful looking dracthyr with the available options

Yes, they need an even more buff version. The 2 buffer options aren't buff enough especially since they have dracthyr in the starting zone that are more buff than what is available to the player. Just add that version for players since it isn't a unique model.

Also, I don't like the visage form. Didn't check if the buff is still there and if it was only for preservation but there was a talent or passive that increased your health regen while in visage form so you'd want to be in visage form every time you're not in combat. It isn't really comparable to druids and their forms because they have multiple forms they switch to. Travelform for outdoors, cat for indoor, bear for tanking or if you need to take a hit and there's even utility in switching in and out of form to break roots.

[Ashana Darkmoon]

The NPC guard models look better than the player ones IMO.

But I don't really have an interest in a new class anyway, still would have preferred new trees to existing ones

[Ateo]

Got the beta, class seems fun, customizations are cool and all but the lack of transmog is insane, the way the character moves in dragonform is very awkward, I still want them to not be so skinny, and they don't feel like they'll have much staying power unless they are incredibly over powered.

Give us a glyph to remove dragon form and have the abilities that require dragonform be more like meta from DH and I'll be much happier.

Everyone knows that the true end game is fashion in mmos, be it mounts or transmog that's the only permanence you see nowadays with seasonal play.

That’s great and all…
Except most balance druids use the glyph of the stars so they can see the transmog.
It’s the most used glyph in the game too by a long shot.
