I ain’t readin all that but because I know it’s about visage in combat.
Play mage not happening waste of time and resources to make new animations and everything for that which could instead be used on giving Dracthyr a proper visage.
It doesn’t make sense at all especially considering Night Elves the first ever Elves didn’t exist till like 5000 years after Dracthyr went into stasis but they did know Neltharion was planning on eventually teaching Dracthyr how to use visage but never mentioned any limits or restrictions.
They wouldn’t actualy need new animations, they already have all the ones they need.
Like when i go court of stars and im in nightborne disguise, my disintagrate works like a mage ray of frost and other spells just use the normal casting animations from the respective disguise race.
We’ve seen many dragons using magic in their visage form, like Chromie using sandlike spells in the Deaths of Chromie Scenario, or Kalecgos using many arcane spells in the Azure Span questline, so its isn’t anything lorebreaking.
Or they could go the demon hunter route, which would be to just enable the draconic form in spells like Deep Breath where there is no other possible way to do it.
The only real effort would be to assign the option to change it on the visage npc.
Anyway, more options are always nice and the tools to do so are already in game.
No its not. Dracthyr can use multiple abilities in human visage form AND the dragon aspects imbued the dragon soul in their visage form… Their powers are usable in visage form.
Did a quick test and the ones that are useable in visage form include: Living Flame, Reversion, Echo, Emerald Blossom, Spiritbloom, Emerald Communion, Renewing Blaze, Return, Mass Return, Tip the Scales, Obsidian Scales, Rewind, Naturalize, Cauterizing Flame, Time Dilation, Blessing of Bronze, Landslide, Unravel, Time Spiral, Source of Magic and Dream Walk.
Also almost all the useable pvp spells like Dream projection, Time Stop and Chrono Loop and Nullifying Shroud.
Quite a big list imo, so there is a precedent. If they just allowed some of the breath spells to be casted in visage form or demon hunter style it would be great for player customization.
And i could actualy start enjoying my evoker’s transmogs.
Or ask for a reasonable compromise with lore support that wouldn’t take almost any development time. And wont affect people who are satisfied with the current way it plays.
Dont see how anyone comes out of this scenario unsatisfied, but i also dont see you changing your mind, so lets just agree on disagreeing
I will enjoy it even more if they allow the option to appreciate the form you want to see in combat, just as moonkins can see their character armor/transmog since cataclysm when they added Glyph of Stars
And the best part is that it wont take away anything from your option to use the draconic form at will.
You seem more reasonable than other people on this forum with the same view, and I honestly don’t care what Blizzard does either way and I hope you get it. I’m just saying that it will never happen and what you see is what you get… We can agree to disagree on that. Druids and Demon Hunters are different, won’t happen. Sorry. Good luck tho.
so the WoD druid tier with wings, can be seen through glyph of stars, it has an animation.
The Tomb of Sargeras animation armor can be seen through Glyph of stars, it has an animation.
You have to seriously ask yourself, and i dont mean just answer off a whim… Would having perma visage as a glyph choice be a negative towards YOUR game play?
Why would you consider it a troll glyph ? And how is it worse than Shadowform ?
It just gave people more options and i dare say it made balance spec a lot more atractive for people who liked the caster druid fantasy (like wc3 druids of the talon or malfurion himself, none which turned into moonkins), but didnt enjoyed the moonkin form to try it and i have friends that just opt to not use it and play as chicken, so overall everyone is happier by having a choice imo.
Gotta start somewhere and the official forums look like a good place where it might have some visibility by blizzard.
Also to find like minded people/discuss possible flaws or drawbacks in the suggestion.
