Dracthyr are Blizz sleeper cash cows

Pretty bold coming from someone playing the faction that had to be saved by stealing from the Alliance the most attractive race in Warcraft because absolutely no one wanted to play the ugly races of the Horde.

If they keep their normal racial perks yep I’m 100% switching.

Means bupkis. Absolute zero.

Unless you A.) work for Blizz and B.) have authorization to post on future matters.

Are you impersonating a Blizzard employee?

I didn’t get anything removed, and I can still view the entire thread. So to my knowledge nothing was removed unless that person blocked you.

But nowhere in the thread were personal attacks thrown at you, you came in swinging. But continue to play victim if you must.

Now you’re insulting my IQ, and saying I’m targeting LGBTQ people with my commentary? Are you on some kind of drug right now? lol.

You never once stated anything that had educational value, or the semblance of it. You stated an opinion that Dracthyr are the ugliest race, then tried to say that your opinion was object truth. When conventional beauty standards even would disagree with you there. Same with that of the art world, and even the scientific world if you’re counting your usuage of anatomical correctness.

On top of this, you’ve now ASSUMED this person was my boyfriend. Which to be clear, they are most certainly NOT. I don’t even know them.

On top of the above insuations, you then give me some kind of random pronouns. To paint in some kind of light that you deem lesser, which is several layers of homophobia.

But you do you.

Meh. I’d race change my evoker to nearly any other race before I’d race change any other class to a Dracthyr.

They will most likely be 100% in visage form in combat for other classes (just like worgen 100% combat in worgen form), without access to those benefits that will remain exclusive for an Evoker.

Thats just it, they cant keep their current racials and be allowed to be other classes. two low cd aoe CC’s are not gonna cut it for ranked pvp.
.
Imagine a rogue or warrior with the Dracthyr racials
not gonna happen.

I don’t recall ever seeing this be a thing, they force fed dracthyr that BS of a visage being how you see yourself but that wasn’t them saying “you’re forced to be elves and humans only” by any means. I mean hey if dracthyr get more classes then great but if they never get more visage options than elf or human I’m never making another one of them again as I hate being limited two those two awful models

Gliding was made available for Visage form. They won’t take any racial away when making it available to other classes.

Their 90 second cooldown Wing Buffett and Tail Swipe, along with the Glide are the only benefits from Evoker that will carry over. Which aren’t obscene racials considering what came with the Allied Races so far.

It won’t be any worse then Tauren, Ztroll, or some of the other absurdly OP PvP racials, like Void Elves.

So I see no reason as to why they’d change them. But if anything they’ll just make it to where non-evokers have it similar to Goblins. Where using Wing Buffett also starts the cool down on Tail swipe, and vise versa.

Humans and Elves are the closest things to humans, to be fair, and when the preached see yourself, they meant projecting the player themselves into the Dragon character.

Ebyssian, Wrathion, Cindrethresh, and Azurathel all make commentary on how the Visage form that Dracthyr have is unique to them, and is a part of who they all are. It’s also mentioned that Dracthyr ONLY take on the visage of this Dragon Elf creature. Likely due to part of how they were created.

Wrathion & Ebyssian first comment on it in the quests when you get off the Reach and are in SW/ORG first getting your visage. Cindre and Azurathel make comments throughout where you see them in the Dragon Isles. I also believe some other NPCs mention it, but I don’t remember the exact names or where they were located.

I was hoping Abberus would delve more into it. But so far all we know is that Dracthyr are Thrice Evolved Tarasect (wingless Dracthyr ppl we see).

Because Dracoknids were Tarasect that were evolved by the Aspects’ magic either willingly or forcibly. In order to make Dracoknids. Dracoknids were then the main vessel that was experimented on to make Dracthyr.

I suppose this lore basis also helps justify them making the cool scaled Elves, without having to later on down the line add scales to the other races for thier visages.

Feels good to knock of those four and Rukhmar for those still chasing them since the dark ages.

I’m thankful for the support class being brought back, tried it yesterday for the first time, not quite what I expected being a glorified DPS, but still a step in the right direction allowing support to come back.

blizzard said that dracthyr would open to more classes later in the expansion

Adding undead skins to every race is a bigger cash cow, I don’t think the majority of players care about being a dragon who swings a 2h sword.

First blizzard needs to buff the undead racial so that it is competitive with dwarf, Tauren, orc, troll

Says who? No reason DK can’t expand to Dracthyr. Not like dragons can’t be raised.

Won’t them getting more classes cause balancing headaches because their racials are so good? An AOE knock back and knock up are amazing. Plus soar and hover would be amazing for other classs.

Hover isn’t a racial, its a spell for Evoker.

The racials are:
● Soar 3m CD
● Tail Swipe 90s CD
● Wing Buffett 90s CD
● Out of Combat increased HP regen for the party via Visage form
● Perception boost for professions.
● Glide

The only things usable in combat being Wing Buffett, Tail Swipe, and Glide. Which are not that OP when compared to other races. Like Void Elves, Ztrolls, Tauren, and so forth.

At most, all they’d do is make Tail Swipe and Wing Buffett share a cool down if you’re not an Evoker.

Lol art is always subjective.

Do you even know what subjective means? Because I’m not sure you do if you say things like art isn’t subject when you are selling a product.

You can’t force people to like what they don’t like—no fancy art school can change that. The best talented artists that ever existed can’t change that.

The best you can strive for is more people like or resonate with your work than those that don’t.

Not really. There have been other races just like it. see worgen. They did not really affect the game much. they are a fun novelty that is about all.

They did not.
