Hover and chosen identity is kinda bugged

It bothers me that when you hover, if you toggle chosen identity, it will not swap you back once the hover ends.

That got me thinking, and I think instead of just fixing it, what if you could hover in both forms? Like your visage would levitate like how it does when you glide in visage.

Of course certain spells would turn you back into a dragon mid hover, like they currently do when in visage, but I think that would be really cool alternate option. :smile_cat:

Even though, I know if they fix it, they will probably take the path of least resistance. :sweat_smile:

Given the animation already exists there should just be a visage hover option. There should additionally be checks added to the abilities that put you into dragon form so that you auto-swap back to visage even if youā€™re out of combat, and as a final touch I would have attempting to mount also cause a visage check and swap you if necessary before mounting.

Chosen Identity works a lot better than Iā€™d have thought, but yeah itā€™s not fully fleshed out yet.

If you use fire breath and cancel it (move) it also doesnā€™t revert you back to visage.

This bothers me so much. Hover doesnā€™t change you back after it ends. WHY NOT. Itā€™s so frustrating yet so simple.

Itā€™s wild that this was still never fixed. It should be easy to trigger the Visage form after the Hover buff expires. The Chosen Identity feature might as well not exist because it gets completely ignored the second you want to move quickly, which is basically always.

And yes, Iā€™m necroing this after almost 2 years because itā€™s so egregious ā€“ and also because this thread is the first hit on Google.

Because it isnā€™t a bug. Itā€™s working as intended

ā€œ Chosen Identity
Instant

Activate to automatically assume your Visage when you leave combat or after Soaring.ā€

Does nobody read tooltips?

Plays the dragon race and class yet mad when they have to be a dragonā€¦.

I hate that you are probably right. Seems like something stupid Blizzard would come up with.

Then they should give us full transmog options in dragon form. Right now dragon form feels like a shapeshift visage uses.

I mean there are 2 clear activation conditions in the tooltip, hover is not one lol.

Fully agree, or at least make it so there is no Tmog options, but way more color for the armor in the barber shop. Preferably both.

We know itā€™s not a bug, genius. Bugs are not the only things that can be corrected. It needs to be fixed to include Hover, because otherwise itā€™s pointless.

Does nobody read the posts they reply to?

Plays the class with a specific feature, and wants that feature to be useful and engaging. And Visage form is a big part of Dracthyr identity, in case the reason you donā€™t know is that you didnā€™t play the game at all.

you clearly have no Idea what you are talking about

You do realize fixed in this statement is implying bug because of the word fixed? You do realize intended mechanics canā€™t be ā€œfixedā€ because there is nothing broken?

some of the forum posts here make me wonder if the natural wow playerbase has 10 IQ

It works as intended.

Actually there are in game quotes of evokers not choosing visage and us having lesser visages than regular dragonsā€¦

Although this isnā€™t really the point of the post, YEA IM MAD. HECK FULL-TIME DRAGON MODE.

But seriously, wish weā€™d swap after hover.

Are you in your dragonrage then :stuck_out_tongue: thats only supposed to last for 40 secondsā€¦ lmao

Iā€™m sorry Iā€™m trying to figure out why you are dissenting against this.

For people who enjoy visage this is an annoying situation.

For people who like the dragon form they have other issues, transmog.

I chose to play a race that can transform into and out of dragon form. That is literally the fantasy of all dragons in the game.

People like you weird me out, itā€™s like you live off of depriving other people of joy

Dissenting that it isnā€™t a bug? As the necro person implied? Or dissenting agains perma visage?

For the first one because itā€™s not a bug. Itā€™s intended as implied by the tooltip.

2nd one because your a dragon? Dragons are cool donā€™t want to not see a dragon when inviting an evoker. Not to mention the broken animations and sheer dumb animations when transformed.

Dracthyrā€™s have some of the coolest animations involving wings, tails, etc. I want to enjoy them even if Iā€™m on an alt (as I only post on pala to show forum history as I donā€™t think it resets upon character change and I want to be consistant and stuff).

And honestly itā€™s like at the end of the day yall chose to play dracthyr not forced to.

TLDR dragons are cool I want to see them even when Iā€™m pushing rating on an alt such as dracocleave in PvP.

Dont care too much about depriving people of joy, itā€™s weird you would assume that because I want specific visuals on my screen and advocate for it. Because thatā€™s what your doing to me too :stuck_out_tongue:

Ok but thatā€™s all a moot point when you have the option to stay as a dragon,

Just because you donā€™t like visage , why donā€™t care if others do,

Again, this mindset is so weird

In your opinion itā€™s weird. But I think itā€™s weird how yall canā€™t get over it and accept youā€™re a dragon.

Now Iā€™ll concede some points. I do think that they should have more barber shop options, better mog options, raid set that match barber shop, etc.

Anyway thatā€™s enough about this on this thread as originally it was about hover and a ā€œbugā€ that isnā€™t a bug on a 2 year necro thread
