The thing I’m most disappointed in as we finally have a new ranged classin the game after all these years but they locked it into one race.
They could have done the Dracthyr as a new neutral race AND Evoker as a new class but nope … it’s honestly made my excitement for the expansion less than it COULD have been.
I think the issue with them is the art style doesn’t really fit with the core races. Vulpera has the same issue for me. If you take the core races and line them up it looks like they were designed for the same game. Goblin and worgen look that way too, not surprising considering worgen and goblin models were in the original game. A lot of the races past that are heavily based on existing models too. Highmountain are pretty much the same as tauren, dark iron are pretty much just dwarves, same for the new elves. Pandaren are close, but not quite there. Vulpera and this new race though, they look like they were designed for a completely different game.
I want to be able to play it already–and on more classes than just the new one.
The new class looks cool but I want to have multiple characters that are Dracthyr and there’s just no reason to with them being tied to a single class.
…and I want to tank as one. Dragon tank would be so cool. lol
Why not have a tanking spec with aspects of the Black Flight since the DPS spec is supposed to blend aspects of the Red and Blue Flights and the Healer spec is based on the Green and Bronze Flights.
I honestly don’t see how it’s so hard before launch they add a 2nd or 3rd option in the character creation that has a “beefier” version for a ton of ppl calling for it. A different body option. I mean they have tail width for draenei, why not something like that? Like a slightly different jaw and chestline and that’s all you need.
If they could be other classes and wear armor it may be a different story.
Trolls look weird to most people but I love that they are lanky. I don’t know how it is on these models though.
You are right and as someone who generally exclusively plays an elf (because since I was little I was obsessed with them) I’ll have to learn to love my scales, because getting to use healy time magic > worrying about esthetics
I would also like the CHOICE to fight either in humanoid form or dragon form…
I also would REALLY like it if the dragon forms were a lot beefier. These current forms look like lizards, not dragons. They look weirdly… how can I put this: physically weak?
as far as the race, I think theyre pretty cool conceptually and I like that they use the dragon gliding mechanic.
The race is one of few details I was actually looking forward to
To me the human form is what needs a lot of improvement. I looks like they’re all dressed for Mardi Gras. It looks very non WoW like. I’d like to see a more organic blend or be all in human form like Wrathion.
