I am so, so incredibly irritated with Visage Form in it’s current state. Lore wise, it makes VERY little sense as to why we are gated into this stupid elf form. When in the heck did the Dracthyr even see an elf to know what one looks like? Deathwing took the visage of a human, not an elf, and one of the very first people they meet out of their sleep are two dragons that take a HUMAN AND A TAUREN FORM. You would think that if they were told to take a visage that lets them blend in with the other races in their faction, they would lean in towards the first races they come across. Why we are locked into some dumb elf/human hybrid model is beyond dumb. I really like Evoker. As a class, I think they have a really fun playstyle and they hit like a truck. But not seeing basically any of our mog unless we are playing as some stupid elf/human when lore wise they should be able to take any form they want is just idiotic. I don’t know if I want to continue playing it unless the armor and the visage form issue is changed.
It’s not supposed to be an elf, bro.
It’s supposed to be a generic looking humanoid with draconic features. Horns, slitted eyes, weird webby ears, skin scales.
Blizzard made the unfortunate decision to recycle other player models while making them and that’s all people can see.
Why did they do it this way? They probably really wanted to do the fancy customizations, but couldn’t have done it for every player model in the game, so they borrowed a model from two of the most popular played races in the game and went with it.
IMO if they were going to go this direction they should have made a new model for the visage so people would know it’s different. (They also should have made a fully new model for the dragon form instead of recycling the female worgen rig, but people don’t notice that one as much)
Lore-wise, this is all they can do. Their visage is more innate and not chosen like a dragon’s.
All the RP’ers need to relax. You’ll get your jollies being whatever race you want once blizzard decides that evoker play is at an apex and they can let you pay to race change your visage.
Luckily, it has zero effect on the gameplay.
