The limited class thing is a non-starter because it’s doomed to either open up (thus making the limited class option pointless) or the race fades into obscurity because people will play Evoker once, be done with it, and since that’s literally the only option for Dracthyr, promptly spin up a different race and enjoy actual options and customization.
Yes, we wanted dragon-folk. Yes, dragons are cool and fun and good. No, the option should not come at the cost of customizations, expressions, and COMMON SENSE.
then the head of that section and his/her boss. the investor that demands to be cc’ed and the board member who wants to justify having a position. then it all gets forwarded to ion’s secretary, who is on vacation till 2 weeks from now. hehe
honestly that doesnt even make sense, isnt their own lore dragons can make themself appear as any race they want… I mean wrathy boy looks like a human male lol so really it makes 0 sense all around the board.
oh and if the wheels move slow now, just wait till their union gets set up. holy cow, its gonna slow down to a crawl and the price of everything will skyrocket
it just feels stupid honestly, not only should evoker be available to all with their own lore, but the dragon race itself should have access to more classes than evoker lol
No I read your literal needs a tl;dr diatribe. You calling it lazy is the issue, because again, it implies they phoned it in. Something you have 0 evidence of and are just making your own argument working back from a conclusion.
That’s fair when it comes to the reskinned ones. I guess it depends on what she meant by “new.” This is definitely the laziest race that has been made from scratch.
But not fit for a playable race. This is NPC quality work. If a NPC can’t wear certain gear, that isn’t an issue. This is completely ridiculous for a playable race in a MMO today.
Sure, there’s no hard evidence, but there are a LOT of red flags present.
1 race with limited appearance options.
1 armor set that they ever have to have designed for them.
1 set of animations.
1 class available to the entire race regardless of any other option.
Using oneself as the ‘mount’.
Those are VERY bad signs for something meant to display effort.
its not lazy, its not forward thinking enough. its too limited. its not big enough. its lacking options. it doesnt scratch enough itches. it needs more visage forms for more races and the tank class. or in a few months, it will go the way of female kul’tirans.
my velf has only one too. i think the obvious answer there is (alliance. shh dont tell anyone. especially not the human, who has like 10 tabs so he dont care)
No that is something I heard on one of the Ion or Dev interviews. I don’t remember exactly what it was going to entail… but I believe it was chest pieces and some others like wings etc… since you don’t see armor while in dragon form.
Technically since Vanilla when Tauren were supposed to have Plainsrunning but eventually got Kodo because they wanted racial parity, and turns out with good reason as Worgen players oft wondered where their racial mounts were or if they were doomed to the same horses as Humans were.
This also plays into…
Half of which you’re never going to see because they suffer from Worgen Syndrome. Also, want to ‘self-mount’? Kiss the mog goodbye, now you look like every other Dracthyr flapping about. Hell, at least Worgen keep to keep their mog on-display when Running Wild.
See above with Worgen Syndrome. You can’t mog your mount form as far as I know, and shifting between a ‘battle form’ and a ‘normal form’ means you need to either juggle twice the mog sets or just never use the other form (see; Two Forms, useless racial save for RP, and even then it could really just be a Toy gotten for Exalted rep with Gilneas or something).
Then why limit the race so strictly now? It’s obvious to anyone with eyes that the one-class-race concept is going to crash and burn in the long run, so just design it with more classes (or, ideally ALL classes for ALL races) and save yourself the headache. If it’s because ‘we need to get it out the door’, that’s ANOTHER red flag rising and waving.
tbh looking at the talent trees, its already a huge disappointment
looked at my unholy dks and its complete bs, have to use a talent point to get perm pet (which is baseline for unholy) and have to use points to get interruptions and defensive that are baseline ability’s…
Its already got me angry at it just look at that bs alone
u have to spend like 12 points just getting ur baseline that ur class/spec GETS upon lvl and selection without talents…
