Dracthyr Heritage armor/ expanded visage forms

Community General Discussion

How neat would it be if the future dracthyr Heritage armor worked something like this…

Imagine if for their heritage quest line the dracthyr are choosing a new visage that better matches their relationships with the mortals of azeroth.

By the end of the quest line, depending on which race you choose and if you’re exalted with them, your drac gets a second visage in the form of one of the other races.

In addition, the heritage armor you receive is that race’s heritage armor.

Your dracthyr would be able to change visage to a different mortal race, but at the cost of the race’s reputation by one rep level.

Or, and hear me out on this one, they just let us change our visage forms race. :dracthyr_shrug:

I dont even need heritage armor. Any race would be enough for me.

The problem with that is that, lore wise, a visage form is supposed to be an important choice for each dragon.

Kinda defeats the purpose of I can be 5 different races over the span of one day.

And it’s not really an arbitrary restriction if you look at it from a lore perspective.

If they added more visage forms, I’d be happy, I wouldn’t even care if the older race visage forms had new customization options. I want to play as something I identify myself as.

5

Going to happen regardless of heritage armor. I’m just waiting for male Human visages and the ability to never see the Dracthyr form ever, even in combat…

There’s been strange Dracthyr attire, might be the heritage armor. :thinking:

A choice that should’ve been made when they first shift into their visages in Stormwind/Orgrimmar, meaning at character creation. Dracthyr should’ve just been the class, available to all races with the race being the visage. It’s probably too late for them to uproot everything and implement that correctly, so the next best thing is to just let Dracthyr change their visage to any race at the barber.

I do like the idea of adding in a quest chain to find your visage. Maybe you do a couple of quests that kind of introduce you to the races available for your faction, maybe you do a quest or two for a member of each race that involves learning a bit about them as a people. Then you choose your visage and do a few more quests that plant you as part of that race.

I do like the thematic appeal of it. I wasn’t very moved by Wrathion teaching me how to create a visage just by talking about it. I was far more interested when Ebyssian was talking about his time living among the Highmountain Tauren. I have no emotional connection to the current blood-elf visage my Dracthyr currently has, and would much prefer one of another race.

What is heritage armor and how do I get it?

10

Exactly.

It comes off as very restrictive currently for players compared to NPCs that are Dracs of all kinds of races but we got stuck with 2

Get your Orc to a little bit higher of a level 50 or 60 I believe, rep with Org to exalted and do a small quest chain and bam, heritage armor

Which is why we should make it ourselves as part of character creation, not some long questline where we have to sacrifice rep to obtain.

Dont overcomplicate it.

Thats def not heritage - too many colors. Thats prob next tier set. Looks terrible on male, this was made solely for female.

14

Too many colors for that too, also not intricate enough. Id bet on the next zones campaign/world/craft/pvp set.

15

It resembles the Dracthyr colors more than the colors of the dragonflights.

I’m assuming it’ll be fine on Dracthyr males. Often wowhead places items on the human male.

16

its basically a dress and a half-a-dress for males.

17

That appears to be the funny situation.

18

But we would…

I’m just saying I d be contradictory to have ability to freely changes races like that without some drawback.

19

Its not race changing, its our visage. We are still dracthyr.

There doesnt need to be a drawnack. There doesnt need to be a questline. We dont need to sacrifice rep.

Just let us choose our visage when creating our chacters. Simple.

I don’t mean literally changing you’re playable race. I’m talking about the visage form.

That short story with chromie makes it clear that a dragon’s chosen visage form is very important to them. So it’d go against that if dracthyr players could just change their visage form willy nilly to w/e ever race they feel like day by day.

So there needs to be a draw back. Other wise you’d essentially be having race change at your beck and call just by playing a dracthyr.
