Dracthyr really?

Blizzard. What are you doing? A dragon themed X-PAC, A dragon themed class, With a dragon themed race that can’t actually turn into a dragon? Come on, you’re smarter than this. Do better…

They look pretty cool aside from their visage form.

The visage is terrible. Reused old models that don’t make any logical sense with new heads put on them that have duck lips. It reminds me of when kids put different doll heads on their Barbie bodies.

Full sized dragons wouldn’t fit through doors or most of anything. All playable races must be humanoid.

As is the dragon form, both forms are terrible. No female feminine dragon form or muscular male dragon form . Really shows their ideals after the lawsuit.

Sure they can!

Get you one of those puppies on your new evoker and they too can turn into a real dragon!

Hate to break it to you but its class locked. Shaman, priest, warlock, druid, and mages can only do the quests to get it. Evokers do not count. But you still got sandstone drake form!

But surely they’ll be added to the list once they’re in game? They’re casters! Right?

:pleading_face:

Better how? Give us collectables from McDonald’s with a chance at some rare pets/mounts?

G.I. Joe with tiny hips and boobs can be a bit disconcerting.

Maybe, only time will tell. But knowing their track record, they probably won’t bother to remember it exists.

It just seems like another really good idea that ends up being half baked. I understand the visage form from a gameplay perspective. But why no flight form? Why Re-event the wheel?

They will be able to do at least the base level of Dragon Riding right off the bat with their own wings. They’ll probably get more later.

Druids same reason our cloud is now basically useless outside of a few gimmicky things.

Didn’t they confirm that already? Dracthyr will get basic dragon riding flight, but if you want to use any of the upgrades you’ll have to use your dragon mount.

Which raises the question, will the “basic” flight be available outside of the dragon isle since dragon riding won’t be?

From what I’ve seen I’m thinking no, but it’s not been commented on to my knowledge.

They can dragon glide with new system.

I really hope Blizzard is just hiding something amazing with this class/race.

I know it’s not out yet and I hate to be that guy, but what we’ve been shown is unacceptable.

So I went and found the interview, and you’re correct, they will be able to GLIDE and gain momentum but it won’t be true flying. I misunderstood when I watched it the first time.

If anyone else wants to watch it, it’s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMKKjtXL6j8&t=892s

I’ve linked this video in past threads, but this is what people should expect in DF system, they literally took GW2’s flying-gliding system:
