For the first time since transmog was announced, I'm not excited for it

This is exactly why I have zero interest in playing a dracthyr. The mog options are absolutely abysmal.

Holy mother of god thatā€™s a lot of words to say ā€œI am playing the wrong class for my goals in WoW.ā€

Open your spell book, activate ā€œchosen identityā€ its in the first tab.

Puts you into visage form when you exit combat by default.

You may now transmog.

Imagine being unable to engage in the gameā€™s primary reward structure, and thinking thatā€™s completely fineā€¦

meanwhile, druids have been living with this since the inception of transmog.

Iā€™m not playing a dragon to play as a Blood Elf. And before anyone suggests it, I donā€™t want the Visage to be active in combat, either. I want to be a draconic humanoid that chooses their own armour instead of being assigned a single set.

Transmog isnā€™t the only goal. But it certainly is a primary one. Furthermore, I havenā€™t enjoyed how a class plays this much since vanilla.

Almost certainly PR / Corporate speak, with the standout being

A new body type would have the gargantuan task of refitting every single armor that has been added over the past 2 decades within a single patch.

They seemed to be able to do it for literally every other race that has previously been added to the gameā€¦

You can be humanoid out of combatā€¦ but they should add drackthyr mogs as well, but need a hide pants option. They would look stupid in pants. They really only look good with small breastplate and shoulders belt. Hence this decision. Im fine withit as is.

Of course, but things can change, and I can do nothing but speculate that the increased cadence, revamp of both the talent and profession systems, along with the fact that there are 3 separate and new body types (some allied races reuse existing ones) makes prioritization a little more pressing.

Agree. I find it to be extremely annoying trying to customize my armor for visage and drackthyr form. It dosent blend well and the added barber shop I believe makes it more disjointed. They should be able to have any transmog.

Yes. Allied races that share the same body as races that are already in the game. Every race after pandas, not including dracthyr, have had a body type the same as a current race. Since that IS a button press away.

Thatā€™s why the dracthyr human/belf forms have full transmog available.

Ion is Blizzardā€™s spin master. You can fairly safely assume heā€™s lying through his teeth whenever he says anything.

Since when can Evokers not get gear, put on gear, get more powerful, kill more powerful things, and get more gear? I donā€™t have to imagine not being able to see my transmog all the time, Iā€™m a druid; I havenā€™t seen transmog in content for a long, long time.

Transmog is great, and I love it, but however much anyone tries to say otherwise, it isnā€™t the primary reward structure. Like others have said; Druids havenā€™t seen their armor in 18 years while in combat. Dracthyr have a form available for them to see their gear for the entire time they are not in combat should they so desire; they are functionally the same as feral, bear and moonkin, with limited customisation from a very small subset.

I think theyā€™re ugly and too skinny.

Them being restricted to one class and limited mogging options just put the nail in that Iā€™ll never play as one.

My poor Dracthyr is nothing more than a gatherer. With gathering while mounted and the disorient from Dragonriding she literally never has to go into combat. Some people have made theirs look really cool between the customization and shoulder mogs. But itā€™s just nothing I want to look at for an extended amount of time. I do adore the visage form though, despite being mostly a human.

Ow, the wall of test hitting my eyes was almost as painful as the ignorance of picking a lizard and complaining about lack of transmog.

Especially when you can press a button and walk around town all pretty anyways. Unlike one other raceā€¦

Yes and no. Druids donā€™t have the challenge of customizations effecting both forms, which is one of the main points in this thread.

I think people would be a lot happier if they could mog visage however they wanted without the customization armor getting in the way.

Itā€™s just about money

Do you realize they would need to create dractyr models for all previous existing items?

Maybe after the Microsoft deal goes through with the endless money pockets they will be able to allocate resources to the modelling team
