Man, Evoker as a class is exactly what I wanted as far as flying around, using innate spells and breath weapons. The class is very fun. On the matter of glyphs, one I was thinking could be fun is a glyph that turns your dracthyr form into a small dragon form. There are plenty of examples of dragons in dragonflight that are about the size of a player, no bigger than the werebear form for Druids. I’m hoping there are at least some players who agree a tried and true dragon form would be really cool for those of us who love Evoker and always wanted to play a dragon in wow, but dracthyr wouldn’t have been our first choice. A glyph that would alter the dracthyr form during combat and would give us a version for each flight. Hopefully there are others who also think this would be cool. May your adventures be many!
Ideas like this are always welcomed, but realistically this would take a lot of development time to create. New animations, assets, coding, etc. would need to be created to accomodate your idea. Im 100% for this, but is unlikely to happen in the short term.
While I agree with Dracnoxas, even with animations and models already existing they dont go down the “fun” route.
Replying to the OP: Small dragons might be a bit much but how awesome would a glyph be to turn your Draktyr into those Drakonoid dragons, either the ones with two or the ones with four legs. Could be easier to scale without looking silly and, again, animations already exist.
This would be trolling yourself in terms of clearly knowing what your character’s hitbox is, though.
While I don’t care what people choose to look like if it were made available, being dragons or 4 legged drakonids wouldn’t be very practical from a mechanical standpoint.
We’re also not dragons, so it wouldn’t make much sense for them to do this. I’d rather just see races opened up for visage forms.
Some new animations for sure, but what a cool reward this would be from mage tower or something. Be a full fledged dragon.
One of my biggest wishes for Drathyr…
As I have recently created an appearance customization I really like based on shadowflame I would love if we could customize the colors of our fire (including shadowflame!)
I know a lot of people would love different colored breath and living flames too.
There’s so many options for them, they could work more into the current system and just add / update the available options to create more diversity. They could add new Draktyr-Forms like a void centered form akin to P3 Sarkareth (or one of the early void datamines we had, cant find it right now). Somehow allowing more armor pieces to show could also be something.
I know I wont abandon my Draktyr cause I really like Dev / Aug and I think the Draktyr form looks cool aswell as soar being awesome. But sure would love some love <3
My main argument for dracthyr, is why do they have to be stuck to a human form. Just like all the dragons and what not that can choose different forms. You should be able to choose your form “race”. Orc evoker, gnome, etc.
Well as far as I can tell on the player side there’s two camps, one group says they should just allow us to choose their visage race with the current BE male and human female being “special” versions and just leaving the other races as they are. The other camp argues, that adding these special options like scales and horns to all other races is obviously not worth the trouble so blizz wont implement it.
We’ll have to wait and see what they decide to do in the end.
Myself, I still hope that they are working on various (QoL) changes (Visage Form, Soar / Hover mounting / left side talent tree revamp) and ship them with the first minor patch for TWW when they unlock more classes for Draktyr, which has been confirmed as coming.
