Tbh I now would rather prefer the dragon form to wear transmog and stay in that form rather than playing on visage form because it would make more sense in the future when the race will be open to more classes. Like imagine a dracthyr in plate armor or in a robe

Apologies if this seems like a “tinfoil hat” moment, but I believe part of the reason the new race can only be the new class is the armor issue.
Anything designed for then doesn’t need to be designed in any other frame. The past be races needed to have the bajillion different armors designed to fit them.
Likewise website their humanoid forms. If they allowed more than what they have planned now, they’ll have to make any new evoker armor for those new raes forms, which I think is why they aren’t allowing evokers on other races to begin with.

- I agree, it’d be nice… we can all be Ebonhorn!
- No. It’s not their “natural” form and doesn’t make sense for combat.
- Wow is notorious for no body change, need to do this for all classes.
- Stop… it’s pre-alpha.
- See 4
- No… I like the fantasy of them having it, this is where they’re from, this is what they know… why do we need them to be other classes.
- Yes please
- Eh… yea, that’d be unique but don’t see it happening.
- I mean we are getting cross-faction gameplay, don’t see why they wouldn’t get it too
- No, we have 6 tanks and now 6 healers (disc and holy are on one class, so its one healer) y’all have gotten a tank every class addition.

I am, and I hate it. 
But like I said, I’m fine with giving others the option to wear their transmog so long as I retain the ability to hide it completely. Just like I’m fine with others getting more bulky models so long as I don’t have to use them.
I am NOT fine with them ever getting breasts in Dracthyr form though. That hill I will die on.
I’m also not fine with players trying to push Blizz to redo them completely as that’s just awful for the many people who saw the race reveal and loved them as they were.

yea the current model is not that bad but I agree that dragon should have the same shape regardless the gender
I have to disagree there.
Because the actual armor is only fully displayed on the “optional” visage form.
The draconic Dracthyr form does not feature a complete armor set, only very few pieces are actually shown at the dragon model.

No but the armor made for evoker they only have to make on 2 (3?) models. If the allow more to be the class, they’ll have to make it for more models.
Just wanted to start by saying I see you gave your thoughts on each point. Just wanted to clarify this isn’t necessarily MY list of requests, just a collection of the word I’ve seen going about on wowhead, youtube, forums etc…
I think some people see it like demon hunters where you sort of ‘‘unleash’’ your power at specific moments of combat. Let’s be honest, the dracthyr aren’t really dragons to begin with. They’re a weird humanoid/dragon hybrid.
I mean sure but I was just meaning give them the usual 2 models that every other race has (the equivalent of male/female without necessarily needing to actually be gender locked)
stop… it’s alpha, stop… it’s beta, stop…it’s day 1 of release, etc…
They released gifs on the press release of their wave, dance & run animations. They currently look bad, so people brought it up, pretty simple.
Blizzard has said that them not having armour isn’t a consequence of them being unfinished, they’ve explicitly said it’s their intent to only have them display a select few pieces.
Because Dracthyr can’t be all roles currently and the playstyle even of those roles won’t suit the majority of players (as no one class does) and so the new race will be vastly underplayed as a consequence (most likely)
someone didn’t read the full thing
lol what? says who
so what? Please stop with this tribal ‘‘us vs them’’ nonsense. Dracthyr having a tank spec on top of the currently announced specs doesn’t hurt you. It doesn’t effect you. It makes the class AND the race better (since the Dracthyr can only be Evoker right now) and it has a perfect lore fit.
It seems like almost everybody is wanting these things to be almost godlike by getting any and all options/features. Sadly, a lot of people will be disappointed and complain until at least 11.0 about what they did not get.
The ‘‘female’’ dracthyr (for lack of a better term) should probably be the one they revealed (that means no breasts) and then they should do a bulkier ‘‘male’’ one (although you could choose regardless of your visage form’s gender). On the topic of Dracthyr breasts though (god do I feel stupid just typing that…), how much sense that makes really depends on the Dracthyr lore. You see, for Drakonids (a different draconic race), it does make sense because Drakonids aren’t actual dragons (aka reptiles). They are actually humanoids (human for example) who’s bodies warped over time to become more draconic due to being around dragons/draconic powers for extended periods of time, others were created via experimentation by the likes of Nefarian & Deathwing. Now, so far, all we know about the Dracthyr is that they were created by Neltharion before he became Deathwing and that he created them by combining the power & wisdom of the dragons with the ‘‘scrappiness’’ of the mortal races to really give them that edge out on the field. So, for all we know, there could be some ‘‘human’’ genetics in there which means a female would indeed have physical features that mammals do have and that reptiles don’t.
Although I think alteration would be better here than replacement, I don’t think your logic is sound. No matter how bad something is, there’s always going to be at least one person who likes it. That doesn’t mean that it’s good or that it shouldn’t change. Although I’m aware that the internet tends to lean towards negativity, I think the overwhelming outcry when it comes to this one particular feature of Dragonflight shows this is more than just ‘‘the typical complainers’’.
I don’t think people are asking for much. They’re asking for the new race to have 2 body types (like every other race has), for them to display armour (like every other race does) and for their animations to be fixed up (like how the Worgen male animations got reworked in BFA). Some are also asking for a third spec (like every class prior to DH has) and throwing out a few cool ideas like a racial flying form. Nothing too unreasonable if you ask me, unreasonable to expect blizz to actually do anything though, sure but that isn’t saying much.

My feedback: they’re pretty hot. That alone made me very interested in them.
They’re easily #3 now behind Tauren and Vulpera and slightly ahead of Worgen.

Nah just give them a warrior or paladin and it would be fine. Every new class so far had a tank spec and it didn’t stop the shortage either

That’s kind of what I’d like to see. Especially since they want the Evoker to be spellcasting only…I just wanna be a DraaAAaaaAAgon. Paladin dragon tho 
would be so good.

I think paladins would not make sense because the dragons are already tied to one of the other cosmological forces: Order. It’s the same reason that, if they were to allow Dracthyr to present themselves as other races in Visage Form, then they should not be allowed to look like Undead, Void Elves, Lightforged Draenei or Worgen.
But rule of cool my friend. Paladin dragon dude, think of it. Just have them channel the light through…idk… fire idk dude just give them something to worship the Light through.
